Hi all, I have to choose between the 32 ohm version and the 250 ohm version of the Beyer DT880 a friend is offering to sell to me. I use mainly my ipod and occationally my computer (itunes, games) but plan to upgrade to an amp next year. Has anyone compared the 2 versions? Would the 32ohm...

Am looking at getting a new set of cans, I hear good things about the Beyerdynamics, and here's my situation:   -Will be used mostly for gaming, but I don't care about the uber-3d positioning features that tend to make the sound quality garbage for the most part.  I'm not out to win gaming...

I have a pair of DT880 where one drivers isn't working well and I'm thinking of replacing it. I've read somewhere that 770 and 880 using the same drivers is that true? I'm thinking of buying a used pair and use the drivers in my own, not sure what they would cost but I'm guessing its cheaper...

I am not looking for a philosophical discussion here. So far I have really appreciated everyone's help and over the last week or so this is becoming one of my favourite websites! I am a vegan and if I get headphones I really don't want to have any animal products in them. I have heard that...

I have a quick question. I recently purchased an astro mixamp and I'm looking for a good headset for mostly gaming (80%), movies (15%) and music (5%). I've done a far amount of research on the internet but have been unable to actually try these headphones and since it seems like some people have...

hello~ I`m pro900 user.   like i said in title, I have things don`t like about pro900.   So i`m going to list that things   1. sibilance sound on vocal (mid)   2. metallic sound     That 2 things make my ear hurt. makes me very uncomfortable. I just can`t hold my headphone...

Hi guys, Got a beyerdynamic DT880-32. Here. Yes, thirty-two ohms, as I know it this is pretty much the bottom limit for tubes. You can go higher but never lower (impedance matching), eh? Should've bought the 250 version back then... So, Schiit Valhalla (not out yet but I can wait), Woo 3...

I've been parsing a ton of reviews and boards for information on the best way to go with these headphones / amps and I'm still not sure what the best option is.   I'm looking to go for either the DT880's, the HD600 or HD650s. I was really looking into the AKG k701s, but numerous reviews...

Yeah, I know, another "please recommend" thread.    I read the FAQs on Beyers site, and along  with some Googling, and I think I want the DT-880 250 ohm model.   600 ohm might be more neutral, but I don't want to have to need an amp.   Don't think I want closed because open is just...

Hello all,   I listen to Indian classical music and songs with a lot of vocals. I also listen to Soft Rock, Power Ballads and some 80's pop. Some examples would be Dire Straits ( Sultans of Swing ) Aha ( hunting high and low ) Madonna ( Live to tell, La Isla Bonita ) Bon Jovi ( Wanted...

Alright,   New to the forum so Hello everyone   Im producing House and after a set of cans. Do not necassarily need the music loud but i do need it clear so am unsure whether i require an amp? If i can get away without an amp that would be great. Im using the EMU 0404 and the cans i have...

  HI Everybody,     Early this year I had an accident which really fried both my ears.  Really, really unfortunate.  Talk about bad luck for an audiophile.   The right recovered, but the left is still so sensitive that listening with my Mark Lawton modified MD2000 causes it to ring...

Newbie here. Recently discovered these forums.   My biggest problem with headphones is comfort. I cannot tolerate on-ear or closed phones. I bought my DT-880 because it was the most comfortable I could find. There was a Sennheiser that felt OK too -- can't remember the model but it did not...

Is there anyone with experience with a vintage dt880 (late 80s)? I just bought one and am waiting for it to be sent to me. I have a dt990 from the same period which is one of the best headphones I've ever heard and I am curious whether the dt880 from the same period is as good.

Looking into headphones I might get in the future, and the Beyerdynamics have caught my eye. But there's so many different types!   There's the DT770's in 3 variations, DT880's in 3 variations, and DT990's in 3 variations!   Not really interested in the D770's, since I'm looking into...

hi everyone.   I'm in need of some help. Every night it is an all out war in my bedroom because of my gaming leaking through my AD700's. I've been looking at the DT770 pro 80's for some good isolation/awesome immersion. I love my 700's, but they do leak alot and they're used for footsteps...

hey guys, im kinda new here and just got into this new hobbie. well, i own a pair of ATH-ES7 and i recently bought an ibasso t3d amp. im using a 2nd gen 16gb ipod touch as my source. i kinda have problems telling the difference when i plug in my amp or not, it sounds exactly the same. on first...

Hey folks,   I'm looking to make an upgrade from my Sony MDR-7509 and Cowon S9 that I currently use when traveling. I bought a Beyer DT880-32, which sounds OK out of the Cowon, not great. I was able to hear the DT880 on a Hifiman HM-801 and was much more impressed with them, but I still feel...

Hi All,   I desperately need advice on what headphones to get for films (60% use) and games (40%) - no music at all. I am currently torn between the Beyerdynamic 880, AKG 701/2, Audio Technica A900 ( as i would prefer open back). Currently I have the Sennheiser 595s but am looking for...

I'm just curious what the greatest headphones that have come out are. I know "greatest" is very much based on opinions but I just wanted to see what people had to say. List whatever you want, best all-around, best sound quality, best comfort, whatever!

This thread is to compare the 32ohm DT880 and DT990 in an unamped environment (out of a soundblaster x-fi).  Im hoping the xfi is up to the task of powering these phones with decent sound quality. I want these for gaming and listening to hip hop and top 100 music .I will be most likely be using...

Hello all, I have a question about in-game audio settings on the 360 and PS3. When running analog sound out of the source into a headphone amplifier, what kinds of audio settings should I pick? More and more shooting/action games seem to have options such as "Headphones", "2.0 Speakers", "TV" or...

I have been told by Trekstor tech support that using 16 ohm earphones with a 32 ohm music player can damage the music player and/or the headphones. Is this true?   More importantly, what happens when you reverse that equation? What would happen to 32 ohm earphones and 16 ohm music players if...

sup head-fi.   I was wondering if you guys know pair of full size cans that are very forgiving. Because i have loads of badly encoded  mp3 files that i just can't listen to on the Senn HD650's or the beyer 880/990's because it reveals every bit of hiss, pops and spikes that is just...
