I only want to put here this: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/beyer/dt880.html 2005 review, (13 years ago!) of the DT880 250Ohm, look at the description on how the sound is presented and how the general FR is perceived. Reviewer's source is Meridian G07, amplifier is Headamp GS-1. My source...

Another question for users here with experience in this kind of very low impedance/planar headphones. There is a healthy bunch of amplifiers around (only power or integrated) not for headphones, mind you, with lovely tubes (or First Watt amps) and a very low (in Watts) output: 1.5W, 2-3W, 4W...

Perfect response! That is the information I need to hear. It seems your tastes match closely mine as I suspected and that was the reason to ask. Classical music, mainly orchestral but a healthy doses of chamber as well, almost no opera nowadays. There is a lot of information around and many...

If you don’t mind, as a fellow K712 user and violin concerto lover, I will be inmensely grateful to know how is the tone and timbre of this instrument in the LCD-4z. There are few opportunities for me to read feedback from an owner and my favourite music is not very often portrayed in most of...

Different batches, different suppliers of source materials, magnets, etc., price reduced a lot officially, a change in the damping material, I don't know. It is a different tune, it is more like the normal sound signature of a beyer. My DT770Pro-250 from 9 years ago was exactly the same as...

I will be clear here. I sold my first pair. I regret it a little bit. It did some bits great (really really great) but other sound features/signature were not up to the task I want them for. After a good thought I did something I never do: I bought a second new pair, just few weeks after the...

I finally sold them a couple of days ago (at a loss but it is what it is). After trying to make them work for me and my music, I couldn't. I like how well built they are, and they are beautiful. I like many things about their sound (clear, resolution, speed, microdynamics, neutrality of the...

Just to be clear, are you talking about the pro-ject head box ds2 b? Because if you are talking about this one, oh, my body is ready. I’m trying so hard to find the right amp that delivers the current and power that my beloved akg demands and deserve. I have a wonderful lehmann audio linear...

After the 6th hour things improved a bit. I have to adjust the volume to a slightly lower setting. It is still IN YOUR FACE, like shouty and loud, but a bit less. I tested it with different sources now, worse ones (computers and foobar2000). It is still very detailed, it is still capable of...

Hi, maybe you are aware and I didn't check the thread (or did a call to the shop linked), so sorry in advance, but just in case: there is a Stax DAC-X1t for sale in Emporium HiFi (UK) at http://www.emporiumhifi.com/pages/pre-owned-hifi-list.html The list was updated on the 9th of September and...

Exactly my setting. I discovered this issue with my linear after few tests with the amp -5 years ago or so-. The gain, through feedback I suppose, is horrendous and put distortion that is noticeable with this cans. It doesn't matter. You put them on '3' and they sound wonderful (3 to 5, to the...

Thank you to both of you for the feedback regarding dynamic range, clarity, musical genre and soundstage; it is really useful. I couldn't resist to do a couple of more test before I put them to rest for a while/to play music non stop inside a drawer in my office. I bought another disk: Elgar...

For a professional monitor tool this sound signature is surprising. They already have the DT1770 as well. Narrow and upfront is not very compatible with orchestral music. I don't know, I'm confused at this moment. I will try to put hours on them in an automatic mode somewhere and then reassess...

Hi, it's for me a bit too soon to clearly say what they are capable of. I bought them few days ago and I can only play like less than 3 hours. Here are my findings, so far. It's Linn Akurate CD player >> Lehmann Audio Linear >> DT1990Pro The company around are K501, K712 Pro (Austrian) and...

Hi happy AKG K712Pro users, I want to address a different issue that I saw few days ago in a review. I think in this very site. The reviewer assessed the treble as 'slow'. I doesn't understand how it can be. I will try to explain my confusion: I only do digital but I have a good...

Dear diary, what I did yesterday. How to guide of enjoying life (a ‘sometimes after a rough day/week/period I know what humour me the most’ guide): Pick up a source, CD player if possible. Nothing fancy or even new. No complex layouts or preparations. Straight and simple. Neutral, slightly...

hi, In this video: At 2:13 - 2:16 the violinist is checking the recording with a pair of HD600 and a professional XLR only amplifier. It is only shown from the back. Can anybody help me or guess which one it is? Thanks,

After a few weeks of enjoying my not so new toy I can say my experiences went from very good to 'what's that?' to 'aha!' to 'what happened?' to 'now I understand'.   In a sense they are the same 'kind' of tool you can find in a Beyer 770 250Ohm. So it is up to you to bring with your software...

I don't think they are cold if you are using the word as a sound signature. They are cold as a 'mind-induced-state' signature. I will try to explain:   In my case, with my music in my equipment, the resolution and speed render very affected and warm interpretations (not recordings) a bit too...

I don’t test headphones or equipment to make my mind around which is better. I try to assess the sound in my frame of reference of what I want from the sound or what is happening to me when I was exposed to it.   If it is what I want or I feel better, then fine. Or amused, or chilled. Then...

Hi everyone,   I want to do a sort of review or assessment of the kind of sound(s) or outcome in my listening habits that happened to me in the very few first days of my ownership.   I was delighted with the sound of my beloved K501 so far. My only regret was why a couple of recording...

My ath-A900Ti sounds boomy and congested. I was enjoying them for a while until I had several headaches and I believed it was the recording. At the begining I don't understand what happen but I could obtain a brand new K501 and it's obvious to me that I have a problem with those cans. I...
