Hello,   I am really new when it comes to more "high end headphones" (high end to me at least)   I am looking to order one of the two in the title tonight. I have Tritton ax 720's now and hate them. I will be mostly using the headphones for Xbox gaming both casually and competitively at...

Powered by asus xonar essence stx. Listen to a mix of everything, about 50 percent dubstep/electronic, 25 percent rock, 25 percent alternative/hiphop everything else. Always listen to music while I'm gaming. I play dota2, not any type of FPS (so I dont need to hear footsteps or anything like...

I currently have the HD555's and love them BUT I feel like they are lacking in the mids and the highs.      I really wish I could try both out and pick one but since that's not possible which one should I go with?    I listen all types of music from hip hop to classical. I might use...

Okay guys I am settling on three headphones. The Beyerdynamic DT 880 250 ohm, the Ultrasone Pro 750, the Ultrasone HFI 2400 and the Beyerdynamic DT990 32 ohm (there must be an amazing reason to spend more money on these.) Which is the best? I don't care if my headphones are open or closed. I...

Hey! This is my first post here and I thought this would be the best place to get some opinions about my dilemma. I'm getting into the headphones realm and the more I read, the more I want. I have to say that I´ve tried several Sony headphones and earphones and some Bose as well, but after...

was about to buy the 250 ohms pro ONE but I saw the 600ohms premium one.   What is the difference between 250ohm and 600 ohm one? Should that worth spending extra $150 to get premium one?   I'm using Asus xonar essence stx sound card /w built-in headphone amp that could take up to 600 ohms

Nowadays I'm looking for an amplifier for my cans, Beyerdynamic DT 990 premium 32ohm.   my budget is $400, and I don't care any type of amplifier whether it is portable or full-size.   I hope my new amplifier must have punchy bass sound quality.   If you guys have any idea or...

I absolutely love my 990 pros (250Ohm version) which I have paired with an Asus Xonar DG sound card acting as a DAC, and a FiiO E9 as my amp. I am just looking for something else now.    I have around 200 dollars to spend. I like ALL types of music, so I like do-it-all headphones.   I...

  I was hoping you would be able to help me out with this...   I am fairly new to the head fi world and have read many, many posts about this topic and just can't figure out what would be best as far as making my headphones run great. Most threads I am coming across are fairly dated, newer...

Hi,   I have DT 990 premium 600 ohm edition paired with Asus Phoebus. I have been using for about 3 month. This is the first time I'm going with such audio equipment and I like very much the sound: music, games, movies.   I have some (n00b) questions to other owners of this headphones...

Hey guys I was looking to get some nice audiophile headphones with an amp. I have a budget of 350$ (MAX MAX MAX) that I would like to spend on a set of headphones and I really don't want to spend more than 100$ on an AMP/DAC (I might go for the NuForce uDac2). Basically I would like a little...

I am sort of new to the world of high quality audio products and was wondering which headphone you would go with for electronic music and some classical. I have a Razer Carcharias that I am sick of an am really looking to get a good pairs of cans that will sound better than the Razers. I don't...

When feeding classic rock into these HP without an amp what can I expect. I need something that has some nice soundstage and I like at least some bass. But I also need something that, while maybe not fully portable, can be brought to campus with me during the day. Also, if I need to, I can run...

I have a very small budget, having picked up the headphones for cheap used. The most I would be willing to spend is £100 (GBP) Will be using it at my desk only, so it being portable is not a requirement There are a lot of options around this price range (I have looked at the dac destroyer...

First time post, audio is a big world.    I may not be true audiophile picky, but sensitivity to audio output has always been important for me. My typical IEM choices were always sub $100 and I tried nearly all major brands. Finally 2 days ago my Klipsch S4's shorted and I needed to replace...

Hi there! Would anyone of you guys advice me on which is the best headphones I could get for US$130 budget? I know these things differs from each individual to another. I just would like to know what is the ideal one you guys would get for the budget stated. Maybe I would be happy with the...

Hello !   My PC 350 (from the Xonar Xense bundle) just passed away, and I can get a refund (200€). So I need a new soundcard, and headphones. From what I've read, the DT770 has deep basses, which is something I would like, because I mostly listen to dubstep. But I don't know anything about...

Hey. I currently own a Fiio E11, E6 and an E10. I use the E11 primarily. I got them initially because of the pricepoint and as it turns out they are fairly highly rated on here. I saw the shootout thread also. I am considering getting another but if I did I would want something that would...

I am looking to spend around $200-300 for an open pair of headphones that I can drive, unamped, through my iphone 4 or macbook.   Music preferences: I listen to a lot of acoustic music (folk, bluegrass, classical, jazz), but also a good deal of indie rock and punk.     Sound preference...

My XB500's burnt out and I want something well balanced with a slight bass emphasis, the bass on the XB's was too muddy for me. I don't plan on getting an amp. Any suggestions?
