Hello, i am a long time reader and first time poster (almost) here and after reading several topics concerning amplifiers and a high-impedance headphones like DT880 i had to make some questions and hoping to get answers, since i do not have the most knowledge for this..   So my questions...

I'm looking at a possible amp upgrade soon, but it's nearly impossible to wade through what's out there nowadays. Reviews seem to be mostly pictures of the box the thing came in or fluffy adjectives that don't really tell me anything.   Can you guys help me? My headphones are Beyer DT880s...

At first i just want to buy a good headphone instead of my bose musicmonitor for my hp laptop because I don't want to disturb my roommate. And... at last dt880 600ohm is the decision and I prepare to develop my own system... (guess lot of u have a similar start~~~ I guess the acoustics in my...

I think it's safe to say I'm a basshead.  Not super, but I definitely don't like neutral (the cans I've heard which are supposed to be neutral have been boring, to me).  I had the HD600s, and they were good, but were lacking in bass (all future impressions are with regard to my brain's...

I began to have doubts.   I live in the UK, from which the following problems arise:   - I know nobody with them, so I can't give them a listen - I can't listen to them instore - They're bladdy expensive (£250)   Further to this, I am used to and love (I really mean love) the...

Hey guys,   Bit of a newbie asking for a suggestion and recommendation. I've been stalking the forums for a couple years now, not really seeing the need to post. The threads I read basically gave most of the information I needed.  I told my other friends that are gamers to get the AD700s and...

As many of you may have interpreted from my last thread, I was very confused about my impulsive headphone buy. That is why I feel as if I should "start from scratch." I need advice for headphones around $250, and $300 if the difference is completely worth it. I want the best price/performance...

Well hello there!   I'm new in the wonderfull world of HIFI land and need some help... I've been listening to my Senn HD595 for a few years now and decided to upgrade. So I bought a Beyerdynamics DT880 - 600 ohm and am now looking for an amp to power this baby.   I've read pretty...

I don't understand why would you chose a high impedance headphone thats harder to drive than a lower impedance headphone thats easier to drive with or without an amp?

Just the other day, I ordered a pair of DT880 off ebay. The item was listed as the 250ohm version. However the version I received is the 32ohm one. I did a search on headfi, and found that people generally think that the 250ohm version is superior because of its less reliance on current...

I think a year ago or so I posted a thread about getting my first set of headphones but never purchased any as its overwhelming as there are so many options.  Also, I don't have much of anyway to test them out other than buying from amazon and then return them if they are not to my liking.  I'm...

Which would you say is the best performing DAC between these two ?   

I started my venture into headphones not to long ago, with a Alessandro MS-1 after a few months of listening to the MS-1, i read up on the forums about the MS-1000 and modded them accordingly. The soundstage definatly opened up alot, maybe its just my ears but i get alot of right/left...

Hello,   I really am having a hard time deciding which openbacks for around 300$ i should get. I can't decide between the dt880/600 and the HD 600 Cardas Cabled. i have the oportunity to get each for the price of 300..   can anybody help me decide? (hass anybody compared the 2 in these...

Ric Schultz-modded Oppo 970HD Fitz-max Bada PH-12, w/1x Mullard ECC33 and 2x Raytheon 6SN7GT   Right now I am a/b-ing the DT880/600 and the PRO2500, both of which have been recabled with Zombie_X's excellent "Nucleotide" UP-OCC quad-braided copper wire.  This is a tough one, but right now...

These are on Amazon France   http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B0024NK35S/ref=oss_product   I live in the UK and have confirmed shipment at that price

hey   of the two system which will go better my the DT880 (600)?   yulong D100 -> beyerdynamic DT880 or asus xsonar ST -> little dot MKIII -> beyerdynamic DT880   what do you think?      

Hello friends,   I must say that I'm for the 1st time in problems regarding headphones. To replace my old pair of Sennheiser HD595s I decided to purchase Beyerdynamic DT-880(600Ohms version) in hope for improved details in music and what most of users claimed at least a decent bass lines...

Has anyone tried this combination? I don't know if it would be a good match or not. I did read here that the Asgard did not seem to drive the T1 well, but I've read that the DT-880 600 ohm version is just as easy to drive as the 250 ohm version.   Of course I know that a tube amp would be...

Hi   I am fairly new to the world of Head-Fi, but am looking into putting together a new combination. I live in South Africa, so everything has to be shipped here at enormous cost and there is no chance to listen comparatively to equipment locally and very little chance to listen at anything...

In reading all the reviews / posts pertaining to the Beyerdynamic DT880's in the 600 ohms, it seems this version produces a more balanced, smooth presentation compared to the 250 ohm version. Besides the additional $100 in price; why wouldn't most buyers choose the 600 ohm...

Being my first post I would like to thank you all since I learned a lot from your comments.   I mostly listen to lossless audio from my desktop computer optically connected to my receivers. I've been using Grado SR-80 and I'm happy with them. Looking for better sound I've recently got a...

Ok so I'm looking to buy new headphones for up to $250. Currently I have the AD700s   I will be using these to play games, listen to music, and watch movies. Types of Music: Pop Indie Rap Possibly electronica   For an amplifier, I will use the Asus Xonar Essence ST with...

Hey guys, still trying to decide on what to buy. I've read so many threads and researched so many phones that I think I'm just going in circles. Here's where I stand:   I currently own:   SHR840 - I think they sound pretty decent actually, fairly neutral, but I'd probably prefer an open...

hey guys im actually new to headphones. i recently bought the beats by dro pros by monster and they were $427 and i was very disappointed with them. they were really uncomfortable and they hurt my ears. i know there are several products in the market but i dont know which one will meet my needs...
