I just received a pair of DT-770's! Happy, joy. The thing is, I dont have any headphone amps. First I tried with my laptop soundcard.. very bad. Was a bit dissapointed. Then I tried with SoundBlaster Live!, that had settings set to 2 speakers.. sounded like above.. I had mixed feelings...

How do HFI-700 match against DT880? Im searching for phones for myself and tested the HFI-700's the other day. They sounded pretty good but there was one major drawback: in synthetic sounds (e.g. not natural instruments - with what they sounded great btw) there was this annoying sound in the...

I would like to know what would be the best portable bass headphone out there. I love bass and I will get the DT770 one day but right now I need something portable. My sister has the ksc-35's that I bought her and they are really nice and thumpy. But maybe there are portable phones that have...

The left speaker has a small rattle at low bass. And the higher volume, the bigger the rattle. Its not that big but it is noticable and disturbing. The bass or thump is not different but theres the added rattle. The right speaker is ok. Sometimes I tend to push them really high volume wise...

Hi! What would be the best headphone for bass slam? I need some cans to offer me the best sounding beats. I'm looking for the 'slamm' (upper bass) and the 'woooof' (lower bass). I have been looking at AKG 271S and Beyer 770 (and leaning towards 271s.. because it can also be used with a...

I do 95% of my music listening from my computer (computer > amp headphone output > headphones). I currently have some built-in C-Media 5.1 soundcard. Would there be a difference if I get a "Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 OEM"? The sad thing is the only decent sound card sold here is...

Ok, i've been lurking here for some time and theres one thing that is bothering me. Most of the headphones recommended here are older... its like when I call any retailer here, they say oh this and that model is not on sale anymore. A few examples being HP170 vs. HP 250, ksc-35 vs ksc-50...

Recommend me some sub $50, circum-aural headphones that sound grreat with rock music (and computer games). They will be used with a computer soundcard. Closed design preferred. Maybe the philips HP-8xx line has something? Thanks!

Hello, I have had Sennheiser HD202's for a month now. I thought my ears would get used to them but no, they are still uncomfortable and after about two hours of listening my ears hurt! And it doesnt matter how I put them, I have tried millions of ways. Could I somehow exchange the pads for...

Ok first I gotta say that I'm a headphone newbie so if you are a newbie too.. you cant take me TOO seriously! Here are my thoughts on what I think about the KSC-35 after a day of listening. The only headphones with what I have to compare are the closed, bassy Sennheiser HD202's. Both of these...

OK I have an AIWA 4x50w speaker amplifier And to listen my headphones I plug them into the headphone jack of the amplifier.. How good an amplification is it and how does this setup compare to headphone amps. Is there some other place on my amp I could plug my headphones into to get better...

Ok I can see that if I want to run any decent headphones I should run them with an amp. What does it mean? I can see headphone amps for sale.. and they are usually very expensive. I know that if I run decent headphones from my small CD player.. a very lousy sound comes out. But when i...

I bought some lousy AIWA headphones about a year ago. At first the bass was ok and the phones were OK for their price (about 14$ ). Anyway after about three months the bass became distorted when I upped the volume a bit. This i guess is partly due to me listening m a i n l y bassy, speedy music...

Hi, my first post here! I have done a lot of searching and reading here for the past few days. OK now I have chosen to buy the KSC-35 to use on-the-go. My first question.. What would the shipping cost me if I order from the KOSS homepage - I'm in Europe (Estonia). And the main question -...
