Hello. I have Topping D30/A30 setup powering DT1990. Last time I switched op-amps on A30 from its stock (OPA2134PA) to LT1364CN8. I did notice some difference in bass area, but it was pretty much minimal. I am actually surprised I could tell the difference instead of getting a placebo or not...

660s or DT1990 for the same price? What are the main different between those two? Would appreciate any input. edit: had interesting inputs on reddit for whoever interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/7qawzu/hd660s_vs_dt1990/dso03sw/

I think everyone who interested in music and how it should sound, should have a pair of neutral open headphones. It will draw a middle line. From there you can explore bass, "V" or "U" shape, clarity and other headphones or IEMs.   That's probably why many people recommend Sennheiser HD600...

Thank you very much harry501501 for your help from start till end.   I finally decided and purchased Titan 5. They came early and I listened to them for 1 hour.   My jaw dropped when I 1st listened to them. I was confused if I were wearing headphones, not IEMs. The sound stage and width of...

If you want more bass, consider HD650 or HD6xx from massdrop (same hardware). HD600 considered to be more natural, while HD650 has more bass flavor to it.   In my opinion, if you want exciting sound, get V-shape closed headphones and have fun. Come back to HD598 or HD600 when you want neutral...

Thank you very for input 1TrickPony. If I were to listen IEMs without concern for sound leakage or isolation, Titan 1 would be my choice. Thing is I already own good open headphones at home, so I dont need overall "accurate" and "balanced" IEMs, I have HD595 for that. I need a fun pair of IEMs...

I wish I didn't find this: http://www.head-fi.org/products/atomic-floyd-superdarts   OMG, I never gonna end up choosing a pair of IEMs!! Holy ffff everybody love those...

Yes you right. HD598 are considered to be a "neutral" headphones. 1st of all bass is lacking because they are open headphones. You don't get that punch you get with closed headphones (M50x).   Having a pair of each closed and open headphones are very beneficial. For example, when you want to...

Thank you for bearing with me!   Trinity Audio Delta does sound interesting, however its very limited and overpriced here in Japan. And price is around $200 here. And reviews do mention build-quality is something to be concerned about.   Trinity Audio Phantom... I am not sure how long will...

I am very convinced with Titan 5. Are there any other IEMs worth considering beside it in $200< range?   So far I checked M750 (not clear bass), EPH-100 (bad cable noise), Dunu DN 1000 (perhaps too not for me) and other popular models.   Need more info comparing to Titan 5 for models below...

Thank you very much harry501501 for detailed reply.   You pretty much confirmed what people said about M750, I gonna remove it from my list. And Dn 1000, yeah it seems like a overkill for my 1st higher end IEM.   So now I have    1) EPH-100 2) Titan 5 3) Titan 3 4) Titan 1 / Fio EX 1  ...

I want "exciting" (U / V shape) sounding IEM with present but controlled bass. Build quality and sound quality is essential. Accessories and isolationist are lower priority. Will listen to them outside during commute and walking.   At home I listen to HD595, so my ears used to rather...

If sound leakage and isolation is non issue, I would highly recommend open headphones. I took my HD595 to work on weekend, was alone in office listening to my favorite albums and clacking keyboard. Man... that was my most productive day in my life.   Work my be hard, but it up to us to make...

ATH-WS1100 is famous bass headphones. I listened to them a couple of times, didnt immidiantly dislike them.

Hey, I also looking for closed headphones right now, with similar needs.   Here's my list, maybe you find something that suits you:   1) ATH MSR7 (There is also model with noise canceling) Good sound with reasable price tag   2) ATH m50x/m40x Literally everybody have those...   3)...

I forgot to ask, what is headphone sounds bright ot dark?? Couldnt find info in google

  Thank you very much for a reply! Well sir, you boosted my confidence in m50x. I put it back on list. DT1350 looks good, but I'd rather have bigger headphones (might change my opinion once I actually try them on...).   I just been "spoiled" by HD595 for 8 years now, and I have no idea what...

Thank you very much for quick reply.   I don't mind some outside noise coming in (for safety sake), so MSR-7 is fine by me.   Price-wise MSR-7 is cheapest where I live (Japan). Momentum 2.0 only seem to be direct import and very expensive... M100 is 1.5 times more expensive than MSR-7 and I...

Good time of a day. I am looking for closed headphones mainly for outside usage. (I use comfy HD595 at home) Sound source will be iPhone 6Plus (I might get portable amp if needed). Budget from 100$ to 200$ (willing to spend more if really well build) Points I am looking at: - Good...
