I'm looking for new headphones focusing on comfort preferably closer to $100($200 absolute max). I'm currently using the BeyerDynamic DT990. I wear them most days for at least 10 hours. The DT990s are very comfortable, but towards the end of the day their weight(close to 300g) is noticeable and...

Okay, I just learned that Foobar2000 has Dolby Headphone support. For those that have yet to try, it...I highly recommend you do. Foobar2000 Dolby Headphone Wrapper Dolby Headphone 1.10.0270 I put the dll in my Windows/System32 folder although you don't need to as you can specify where...

I noticed that HeadRoom sells Balanced DT880s, but I haven't seen anything about Balanced DT990s. Has anyone had their DT990s balanced? If so, I'ld love your thoughts on what you heard differently and if it's worth it or not.

I'm looking for a frequency response curve for the BeyerDynamic DT990s, 250 ohm preferably. Anyone know where I can find one? I've been searching google...but haven't had much luck.

Vista x64 Foobar2000 using WASAPI to my E-MU 0404 Problem is, I can only get sound through Foobar2000 now. What do I need to do so that when Foobar2000 is closed, I can still get sound from Firefox or games? Right now, I have foobar2000 closed...but I can't hear anything. I've checked the...

I have an E-MU 0404 USB but I just built a desktop and figure that gives me a lot of options to upgrade to a nicer PCI card. What would you replace the 0404 with? I'm running a Mini^3 and DT990s. I use Foobar2000 playing either FLAC or mp3s. Absolute top would be $400, $200 would be better.

Not sure which subforum this should have been posted in, but here we go: My setup: BeyerDynamic DT-990 Rockhopper Mini^3 E-MU 0404 What should I upgrade next? My guess is my amp, but I'm honestly not sure what to do

I'm pretty happy with my current setup...however I can't help but wonder what I'ld get from upgrading my Mini^3 to a better amp. My guess is a better sound stage and maybe deeper bass? I'm not sure really...I have plenty of deep tight bass now and I'm happy with the soundstage. But then again...

I've been doing a good amount of research. Yeah yeah, I know the KSC75s are awesome and a lot more people support them or have heard them than the FX55s. However, I have not read a take from someone who has heard both the FX55s and the KSC75s. So, which is better? They're both about $20 on...

Because of all the replies from you guys I ended getting an E-MU 0404 to replace my Audigy 2 ZS...it's not what I expected at all. It was so much more! Holy hell. I couldn't imagine the difference it made...like some said it truly lifted a veil and everything sounded so much clearer...

I'm looking to get a pair of closed headphones that are on ear and do not need to be amped. I want on ear as they're generally much smaller than around ear cans and they're gonna be in my backpack mostly for use on campus so I don't want to have to use an amp. Any ideas? I have $200 to play with

I need $25 headphones. They're gonna be in my backpack at all times so they will inevitably be abused a little...meaning they need to be a bit durable. I don't really want IEMs but am open to them. I listen to metal, my source is mp3s off of my flash drive through a computer usually. $25...

What would be a step up from the 0404?

How long do you all think it'll be before you can buy a quality mp3 player w/ a decently powerful built in amplifier...say something like an iPod with as much power as a Mini^3 or at least as much power as a CMOY?

I love my DT990s, but my setup isn't quite perfect for them. I have a bit of sibilance that I want to tame w/o using an EQ. My budget is $250. Should I either get a new source like an E-MU 0404 or a tube amp like the LunchBox II or LD MKIII? I know I need to get a new source...

For the past few days I've noticed that my DT990s don't seem to have the large soundstage many described they would have. The drums, singer, and guitarists all sound like they're standing in the same place. Is it because of my musical selection(metal)? Or perhaps my source(Audigy 2 ZS running...

What's the optimal level to keep my Mini^3 at? I have it at around 60-70% right now. I use my laptop to control the volume level and keep the amp fixed. Is this optimal? Or does it really not matter? I imagine that keeping the amp at 100% would be bad...but I suppose I have no real experience...

I'm looking to get a quality mini to mini cable. What type of cable complements the DT990s the best? I listen to metal 90% of the time...the other 10% is spread between alternative rock, rap, ambient downtempo, and progressive trance. Edit: I'ld probably used the same cable if I choose to...

My source is my laptop. FLAC and 192 Kbps VBR mp3/ogg playing through Foobar2000. BeyerDynamic DT990 and a Mini^3 amp. Which has the best sq...the 0404 or the EB01?

I just setup my DT990 and Mini^3. I played Machine Head - Halo, System of a Down - Question, and Shinedown - Simple Man...they sounded so unbelievably beautiful that a single tear rolled down the side of my face. This is my first time hearing higher end headphones. I'm simply blown away. I...

So I bought a Rockhopper Mini^3 based on recs from this forum. I paid on the 12th via Paypal using my CC. I sent him an e-mail on the 15th. I still have not received a reply. Anyone have any info? My DT-990s will be here tomorrow and I have nothing to power them with!

Would it be worth the money and time to recable my SR-80s? I'm getting some DT-990s so I'm not afraid to work on my SR-80s. I have very little DIY experience... At any rate, what type of cable would be an improvement over the stock cable? What would I expect to gain in terms of sq? How...

I've spent a good 10-12 hours over the past few days researching. I bought a Rockhopper Mini^3 so my amp is decided. I listen mostly to metal(Lamb of God, MachineHead, In Flames, Dark Tranquility) and I am a basshead. However tight bass is very very important to me From what I've...

So I noticed there are two version of the DT990, the consumer and Pro line. The Consumer seems to be around $90-$100 more expensive. My question is simple, is the Consumer line the 2005 model or are they both the 2005 model? I know the Consumer line has less tension in the band as well...
