Hello everybody,   I've wanted to get some good open over-ear headphones for a while, but I'm having a hard time to figure out which one I should buy. I have an Objective 2 amp which I use to power my Hifiman RE-262's and seek to find a more analytical and neutral sound. The most important...

I'm trying to find replacement earpads for the DT880. There are some on the beyerdynamic website, but they appear to be black. I'm trying to find the original grey/silver ones. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Alright, so i've been lurking around threads for a good amp for the Beyers but i haven't bought them yet because i can't decide which ones, main uses will be for listening to Rock, Pop, dubstep/electronic, and alot of gaming(all games, fps,rts,rpg,mmo,etc)i would say50/50 for between music and...

Looking to upgrade my trusty SR 850s. I have been almost killed 6 times now and although I am a tank in most respects, I still have issues with heavier headphones over long periods of time.    What modes should I consider? I am thinking maybe the FA-011, Beyer 880. Something with a bit of...

I am in the market for some new headphones and I'm looking for some suggestions of some headsets or headphone and microphone combos set ups to look in to. I have been watching the forums here off and on and the people here understand quality unlike many of the review on headset I have read on...

I am thinking about getting the Beyerdynamic DT880 600ohm. I was going to get the Hifiman HE500 but since I would rather get a good pair of cans and a good Amp/DAC that will last awhile I am going to get a lower cost headphone and get a amp/DAC. So I am basically asking about which amp will pair...

I was currently thinking about purchasing a beyer dt880 600ohm which is a midfi closed can and an ultrasone signature pro which is a high-fi closed can. I would normally think the the dt880 would sound better since its open (I listen to rock and metal mostly so I don't need so much bass...

I'm getting ready to order a WA3, but had a couple questions.  First of all, is this a good match for my DT880/600s?  I see it more people seems to use it with Senns, but it seems like this would be a good choice.  Would there be anything else in this price range that I should look at before...

I have literally been listening for about five minutes to the T1, so it isn't burned-in yet, but I think this headphone is The One. I've been looking for something in the league of the Senn HD800, AKG K1000, or even the K701 is remarkable and worth considering.

I keep hearing that the dt880 premium has a problem with rear positioning in games, but i'm not entirely sure about the pro. can anyone confirm That the pro doesn't have the same problem, or is there a mod I can do to make the sound a circle instead of orange with a quarter of it missing.

Lately been considering an upgrade to my Grado sr60s, and it seems the AKG Q701s fit my taste of music. I keep hearing about the lack of bass in the Q701s and I want to know if anyone can give me some perspective on this issue. Is it safe to say the Q701s will have less bass than say a TF10...

Hello Head-Fi-er's, I am on the hunt for a new pair of cans, and have researched and researched for days to discover my audio needs based on where I am and what I listen to. I travel to and from school a lot, so home and school almost all the time, with extended listening periods for hours.  ...

          I know this has come up time and time again, and I am sorry to do it again, but I would really appreciate everyones insight. I am just starting out in the audio world am I want to start small so that when I start to get better and better headphones I will really appreciate them more...

I'm looking to improve my music set-up but I'm not sure whether there is a "weak link" in my chain or if I should simply add another pair of headphones to my collection. Currently I am Using: Sources: PC / iPod Touch 1st Gen / Samsung Galaxy S3 (wolfson Chip) all with .m4a apple lossless files...

Greetings Headfi-ers!   I'm a newbie here after sticking around looking at reviews and comments in the forum and also relatively new to the world of high end equipments (about three months). I've always been itching to ask questions here but due to the lack of experience in the audio field...

Looking to switch out my headphone and try the HE-400.  Would it be much of an upgrade going from the DT-880 to the HE-400.  Also, I don't want to keep too many phones, so not sure if I would sell the DT-880 or the Denon D2000 after I purchase the HE-400.  I hate Head-Fi, gives me too much...

Hi all, In my first voyage into better sound, I just took delivery of a Little Dot MKIII. I'm using this with my Mac Mini and HD448's. After a couple of hours of use, I'm quiet embarrassed to say that I can't tell a difference! I've done some quick A-B testing, using a splitter, and the only...

Hi, I'm considering purchasing 600Ω DT880 Premiums for home use and I need an amp to drive them. I don't have much to spend on it (about $150). I was consider the following amps: Focusrite 2i2 Echo audiofire 2 Fiio E9 Objective2 Will any of these drive the 880s or is there a better choice? Thanks.

My Sennheiser HD600's are my favorite headphones. I really like the way they sound. I have tried many other headphones and am surprised that nothing (so far) compares, especially considering my pair is pretty old. I did some searches and saw that people said the Hifiman HE-500's sound like the...

So, I have not seen a "Giant Killer" thread in a little bit. This is just a thread where you can post ANY headphones/ earbuds (preferably sub-50 dollar US range) But anything is acceptable! I want to hear everyone's voice here. For me, my giant killers are the Monoprice 8323. They have sound...

I've had issues with the DT 990 Pro version, I've had 2 of them and both had to be RMA well within 2 years with the original pair not lasting 1 week. Same problem with both sets, audio in the earcup cutting out because of the internal wiring developing a fault.   My question is do the...

I am currently using using a pair of HD 558 (with the black tape removed) on my computer.  I use headphones 8+ hours a day on my PC.  I listen to music (Jack Johnson, Dave Mathews, Kenny Chesney, John Mayer, Stevie Ray Vaugn type of music) as well as play games.   I own a pair of PC350's...

what would you pick for mixing / critical listening? (not for musical enjoyment.)

advice on which headphones to buy for mixing/critical listening in studio I have been struggling for some time with getting the right headphones for my needs. I own a Benchmark DAC1 and am looking for the right pair of phones to pair with it for mixing/editing and critical listening. For...

hi!   I am as the title says, looking for the "perfect" headphone for me. been reading a lot but I think the opinions are too different to make any sense of it right now. making this thread in hope of it being a bit easier to understand. I've been listening to (and owning) a lot of...
