    Headphones like these, cheaper the better?

    Ah, those are what I'm looking for... I found some now as well. :) I will buy something next week I suppose, and it seems like what you recommended is the best, better than AKG K92, 52 and 72 even. :) Thanks!

    Headphones like these, cheaper the better?

    Where did you find the "generic" type? I can only find DT770 pads for around 25eu, but I also don't think that they are the generic type.

    Headphones like these, cheaper the better?

    Unfortunately I could only find them for about twice that price that deliver within EU. :/ Amazon only goes as far as the UK.

    Headphones like these, cheaper the better?

    Wow, they look like a really high-end headphones! I was very skeptical before googling because of my experience with Superlux and its cracking and hardening leather making them unusable in a month, but these look really great! Wonder if I can use 681 velour pads on them? That would be extra...

    Headphones like these, cheaper the better?

    That's possible. I cannot try them, so I would need some more to go on here. :) I will read further about them in a couple of hours. I was also looking at AKG K52, 72 and 92 myself. I also cannot try any of these, as the electronics shops here have the really cheap crappy gamer-based headphones...

    Headphones like these, cheaper the better?

    Both of those go for around 135eu from what I could find. That is my last-resort kinda option, as I would prefer something else really, as I like not buying the same thing twice. Also of course 135eu is much more than I'd like to spend (I spend 40eu per month on food). I have already looked for...

    Headphones like these, cheaper the better?

    As I wrote, I only have in-earphones. My DT990 was stolen, which I will add if I can edit the post so others won't get confused either. Sorry about that. My budget is maybe up to 100eu. Although I'd prefer to spend a lot less if possible. I have very limited about of cash and want to at least...

    Headphones like these, cheaper the better?

    I have had Superlux HD681 and Beyerdynamic DT990 250ohm and I'm looking for something else that performs about as good and is as cheap as possible (my budget is honestly low - I'm not trying to cheap out). Superlux had good sound but they were uncomfortable as hell (the paddings especially) and...

    Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro - what is this edition I have?

    There seems to be two editions, the 'common' one is this: http://www.gearnuts.com/images/closeup/xl/1600-DT990Pro_detail1.jpg   And the one I have is this: http://medias.audiofanzine.com/images/normal/beyerdynamic-dt-990-pro-487544.jpg   How is my edition different? Mostly I see the first...

    Which amp (or soundcard) for DT990?

    I don't mind it being stationary even, I just need it to take power from a cable so that I could keep it on 24/7.   Objective2 is twice my budget though, minus shipping costs... It does look real nice, I have to admit.

    Which amp (or soundcard) for DT990?

    Maybe within months of daily hunting on Ebay. I can't wait that long though.   Also, I forgot to mention that I like neutral sound.

    Which amp (or soundcard) for DT990?

    Oh, I forgot to add longer title: Beyerdynamics DT990 250Ohm Pro version.   It supports up to 100 Ohms.   Amp because it's usually better than a sound card.

    Which amp (or soundcard) for DT990?

    Buget's around $50 (incl. shipping to Europe).   I have seen really positive mentions of CMOY amps, and I found them on two sites (http://fredsamplifiers.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_16&products_id=33 and http://www.lucidlaboratories.com/shop-1/cmoy-headphone-amplifier or...

    Noise-calling headphones

    I see then. That's too bad. I'll see if I can construct something out of some pair of my old headphones, I've plenty in a bag.   Appreciate your quick replies.

    Noise-calling headphones

    Oh, my apologies. I forgot to mention my price range. I'd prefer something below $50, if that is even possible for my requirements. At the moment I have very little understanding of noise-cancelling headphones, their prices and technologies.   Edited the OP too. How did I forget that!

    Noise-calling headphones

    Basically I'm looking for something to wear while I just want to be in silence. I don't want any sounds at all, except perhaps that of my keyboard, but I can still hear my computer fans, people outside, people in other rooms, etc., etc.. Sometimes I just want to be in silence for a while.  ...

    Modding my Superlux 668B & comments/impressions so far!

    I've bought a pair of these, and after listening to them for a few days (over 10h/day), I've modded them a little bit. I've noticed the burn-in difference after ~30h, by the way. Anyway, the mods I've done so far (pics numbered below the descriptions, so scroll down for reference):   1. Added...

    What to use as foam for headphone pads?

    Thanks. I'll just cover these pads in velour instead.

    What to use as foam for headphone pads?

    Superlux 668B is what I have. I don't really want to buy another pads, as they cost a fortune, not to mention the shipping (original pads would cost me one third of the price of the headphones). I wanted to buy velour pads originally, but the price was more than half of the headphones (with...

    What to use as foam for headphone pads?

    Is there some kind of material I could use as foam for the pads? I'm making my own (I want them to be a bit taller, as right now my ears are touching the inside of the headphones).   I know that you could use pretty much anything, but I don't want it to mess with the way my headphones sound (I...

    Cheap but decent quality amp for 250 ohm headphones?

    I just re-googled it for more info and some reviews. Turns out the forum info was wrong - it's for up to 600 ohms. Does it provide good sound quality? The OEM version I could afford - $80.   I'm also a bit worried about static that I can hear with my current card and my on-board audio (edited...

    Cheap but decent quality amp for 250 ohm headphones?

    I'm new to this, so I don't really know much about amps yet, however I know that the headphones that I currently like the most (Beyerdynamics DT990) are gonna require 250 ohms to be used at its full potential. I'm gonna use them only on my computer, not on anything else, so the amp doesn't have...

    Which headphones should I buy? (more details inside)

      I suppose I should edit the additions of what I want and what I can buy.   I'm willing to spend up to $210 (or 130 pounds as the prices should be checked at amazon.co.uk). I'm not necessarily looking for noise-cancelling headphones, however I don't want to hear something happening outside...

    Which headphones should I buy? (more details inside)

    Because I get bored of same things and I want something new. Also because Roccat Kave is really heavy and because both of my headphones (a warranty replacement and initial) had broken sound controllers in a couple of months, as well as the fact that it broke rather easily physically (not a...

    Which headphones should I buy? (more details inside)

    Currently I'm using Roccat Kave - amazing headset due to the multiple speakers - it's very immersive when watching movies or playing games, and I like how it encloses my ears so that I'm sort of isolated from the outside noises when listening to music (and doing the things above). However...
