    No sound on right side, headphones dead?

    I don't even know how to open up the headband, from what I can tell it looks screwed tight. That said, a broken cable does sound cheaper than having to replace the entire driver. But aren't drivers supposed to last a little longer, my dt 770 is still alive and I own them since 2013 (? or maybe...

    No sound on right side, headphones dead?

    Guys, my dt 1770 doesn't work on the right side anymore. They are called drivers right? I bought them in Juli 2016, the warranty is gone. Do you guys think I can repair them on my own? Because headphones shouldn't die that easily, right? I mean my dt 770 from 2011 still works to this day. It's...

    Sennheiser GSX 1000 / 1200 Impressions

    Listened to HardwareCanucks vid and sounds like a typical gimmicky soundcard. I would not buy this over a normal dac/amp combo.

    [GUIDE] Sonic Differences Between DT770-DT990 Models & More

    Yeah I think I am not going risk it and buy the custom studio, or custom pro. Anyway, I am reading some reviews and almost everyone says that the 80 ohm version is better because it has more bass and less treble, right? As a guy who likes treble, should I go for the 250 ohm version? And how is...

    [GUIDE] Sonic Differences Between DT770-DT990 Models & More

    Can you guys give me some advice? I need a.... well I want a new pair of headphones soon and I can't decide on what to buy. I used to have the dt770 (gave them to a friend) and I want them back. I had the 250 ohm version back then, but everyone seems to prefer the 80 ohm version. Also has anyone...

    aune X7S Class-A balance output headphone amplifier (New product )

    I currently put it back to the default settings. The thing is, when I put it to high gain the first 10% of the volume knob are glitched. When it's to quite I only have sound on the left (or) right side. I only have sound on both sides once I pass a certain point. And when I lower the gain I do...

    aune X7S Class-A balance output headphone amplifier (New product )

    I bought myself a aune x7s today, it's hooked up to my modi 2. I need some help with the gain settings. These are not my photos, found them like that on the internet. When I unboxed it, it arrived like this: first switch down, the second one up and then the same on the other side. Then I...

    Where can you buy the 600ohm version of the dt770? I checked amazon and even beyer's website but couldn't find it.

    Big amplifiers vs small headphone amplifiers

    As little as possible, but I was thinking of 200€ to 600€ a little bit of both, I want to buy something new and I am not sure what I should go for. So yeah, I want to discuss which one of those are the best, but I will eventually buy one of them. I own the Beyerdynamic dt 1770, the original...

    Big amplifiers vs small headphone amplifiers

    Hi guys. So I am kind of new in this audio world and I need your help. I am looking for a dac amp recently. On the internet people recommend stuff like the schiit jotunheim or the aune x1. Those devices are cool and all but what about the bigger stuff that's sold in audio stores? Like the...

    Buying used headphones: Yes or No?

    The problem with used headphones is... or let me put it this way, the problem I have with used headphones is that I don't know if they are broken, or just sound bad in general. I bought some used heaphones in the past (turns out they were broken) and they sounded weird and I had no idea if this...

    Budget DAC/Amp w/ 6.3mm jack

    Anyone here tried the FX Audio DAC-X6? At 69$/64€ it's certainly cheap. I like this Zeos guy and he recommended this device so I assume it's decent.

    Best Studio Headphones

    What better options do you have? I paid 139€ for my 770 back then and they are imo very good at that price range.

    DAC is dead, need a new one

    But there seems to be something wrong with my DAC too, because I tested my DAC solo first, amp only arrived today. Actually, let me explain it using pictures. First I connected my DacMagic 100 to my g5 soundcard (this was last week, I had no amplifier at that point) DacMagic was connected to...

    DAC is dead, need a new one

    Ground loop? I just googled that and yeah that seems to be the problem I have. I mean, as said above this noise also occurs when my amp has no input at all. Well let's see if the modi 2 will fix this (although I doubt it to be honest). As far as I know the modi 2 does not require any external...

    DAC is dead, need a new one

    I already ordered the Modi earlier today, it should arrive in two days. Anyway, I am going to test this whole thing with the new dac and see if that helps. Because earlier today I unplugged my amp (Musical Fidelity V90-BHA) from my sound card. It was turned on and I had my headphones connect to...

    DAC is dead, need a new one

    I got the amp now and now I have another problem, the amp makes some crappy noise. I'll definitely need a new DAC, I assumed it only made that high pinched noise because I hooked it up into my soundcard (Creative Sound BlasterX G5) and my soundcard didn't like that DAC. But today my DAC...

    DAC is dead, need a new one

    It's to expensive. Living in Germany, and it costs 219€ on amazon and $163.75 if I order it from their website. So far I guess the modi 2 is the best option, kinda pisses me off that I have to pay 5€ for shipping.

    DAC is dead, need a new one

    Yeah I noticed that too after creating this thread. When I checked that website earlier today I just opened their DAC page and basically copy pasted all their dacs under 150€ here. Later I checked their descriptions one by one. I kinda want the Loki because it says there that it used to cost...

    DAC is dead, need a new one

    Got a Cambridge DacMagic 100 and I don't know what's wrong with it but whenever I use it, I can hear a high pinch, peeping sound. When I hook my computer directly to my amp, everything sounds normal. But when I connect my soundcard to my DAC, and then that DAC to my amp, it makes this weird...

    Headphone recommendations ~500€

    A few people have recommended the 1990, I guess I would have bought it too if they were available back then. But when I bought the 1770 I didn't even knew the 1990 was a thing. After some consideration I would say it's best to wait for September and buy the T1 once I have my paycheck. Because...

    Headphone recommendations ~500€

    To be completely honest, I would say that I am a Beyerdynamic fanboy. I fell in love with that brand when I bought the dt 770 back then. And I must say that I like my 1770 too, I would say that they are a improvement over the 770 but I am not 100% satisfied with them. I like the HD598 too, but I...

    Headphone recommendations ~500€

    Hi So I kinda got tired of my current headphones and I would like to buy something new. I want some new headphones to replace my Beyerdynamic dt 1770. The problem is that I live in Germany, so availability is a problem. People recommended me the Hifiman 400 and 500, but both of them are not...

    Beyerdynamic DT-1770: Product Info, Discussion and Impressions

    Guys can you help me find a DAC and AMP that runs well paired with my dt 1770? I asked this before but I wasn't able to find a good one yet. I honestly don't want to spend more than 100€ for a dac and another 100 for a amp +/- 25€. While there are a lot of great options on the american market...

    Beyerdynamic DT-1770: Product Info, Discussion and Impressions

    hi guise, I got my dt1770 since a few months now. They sound pretty decent, I love them, but I want to try something new. Could you guys recommend something that sound similar in the same price range?
