So I got my Beyerdynamics a few months ago and they have been working great.  I haven't used them in a few days because I was on vacation and when I went to put them on tonight the right side failed to produce any sound.  I tried searching for it, but the only things I found were referencing...

Title says it. I'm ready to dive into my first set of open back headphones. I'm really only particularly interested in these two. Got a budget of around $300 (including shipping).

Greetings,   First, I consider myself a person who appreciates good quality sound. I love it. All my cds are properly, securely ripped to flac and I'm fairly educated on all that audio quality jazz.   I'm looking at the beyerdynamic dt990 as I've heard great things about them. The problem...

Can anyone recommend a good cable for my DT990's?   Old one is done for It's just so bad and nearly impossible to keep welded anymore. The driver sounds fine.   Good day.   Regards,   Rycon

I have owned a set of DT990 250 ohm for some time and love them through my Graham Slee Nova amp; listening mainly to rock music. Given their impedance they don't work well with my iPod and I am wondering whether a pair with the 32 ohm impedance would be a good buy? It seems a bit strange...

Hello,   I've been looking around for an alternative to my DT 990Pro with very similar sound signature and openness I have tried few armature headphones in 100 dollar range but few seem come close to "resolution" of DT990Pro. I realize we're talking apples and organges here, I don't want to...

Not looking to spend an arm and a leg and I would prefer not using an amp since that would cost more money.   Looking for 250USD or so.   Right now my setup is Sennheiser HD595 with ASUS Xonar Essence STX audio card.  Bought all of these about a year ago and was thinking that it might be...

Hey, I've been thinking about picking up these headphones to supplement my K-701s, because they don't provide the 'punch' I want from some of my bassier songs. Don't get me wrong, they are great, but the force behind the sound just isn't always there. So I was thinking about the DT 990s because...

Hi, this pair of headphones will be my first pair of headphones, high/low end regardless. i have been listening to iems all this while and thought of having a go at headphones. i am totally new in this area and therefore require some help or advice. I have read from other threads that i would...

Hi, so this is info is sort of posted in the amp section (but my primary question there is about an amp/DAC/both, so I wanted to put this question in the right area.   I'm pretty new to the world of quality headphones/amps and I've been researching headphones, amps and DACs for the past...

Sorry folks, this may be a bit of a long post as I am hoping to make the most well informed purchase I can make after my last pair of headphones crapped out and hoping for these to last.   So I went from the Klipsch S4 -> Beats Studio (grad. gift)   And after two years, the left side of...

Ive got around $450.00 to spend on headphones. I was thinking about going to the HD650 for 350ish but I realized they need to be drove so I also need an amp. Also, do they leak allot? I also wanted to go with the E7/E9 combo but I don't have enough for HD650s and e7/e9. So I would only go with...

Hi! As you can se I´m new to this forum, and that goes for my knowledge for headphones,amp,dac to.  I had a pair of HP890 back in time, now im sitting with Creative aurvana live, wich doesnt sound exciting at all. What I want is to play music directly from my laptop, which isnt really a...

Ok guys, I need help quite quickly (until tomorrow lol).   I planned on buying the DT770 (250) headphones, but as I walked into my local store and asked the salesman to order them for me , he offered me the DT990  32 ohm version that he had on the shelf.   He said that 990 are better...

I'm about to buy a pair of Beyerdyanmic DT990 headphones to essentially replace a set of Grado 80is that are uncomfortable and that are slowly making me deaf (even though they sound fine).  I mostly listen to MP3s and do video editing.   I've heard that the 600 ohm model is the most highly...

So the upgrade bug has finally bitten me. I'm not sure why it suddenly hit but I can't stop scratching. So let me explain what I'm looking for and what I need help with specifically, cha? So about two years ago I wanted a way to fully experience my console/PC games as having a 5.1 speaker set...

Hello headfi-ers!  I have $400 and i'm planning to buy: - Beyerdynamic DT 990 32 ohm ($300) - Ear Force DSS 7.1 Channel Dolby Surround Processor ($70)  - Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro II USB Analog & Digital Audio Adapter ($25) - Digital Audio Toslik Cable ($5)   From Amazon...

Sorry if this topic has been raised before..I have the Beyers. There has been marked publicity regarding the He 400. Both seem to be the same cost. Which is better sounding? I do like good bass I listen to chill ou musict, or anything apart from classics. A good acoustic beat is my preference...

  This DT990 32ohm in my opinion is Beyer's most versatile and dynamic headphone they have ever produced. It can be used as a portable phone if you wish, with it's low impedance design and super-comfortable structure. My source is a T-Mobile G2 (Android 2.2) running Poweramp as my music...

Hey!  I bought a pair of Beyer DT990 32 Ohm headphones a few weeks ago based on some recommendations from this forum. I'm really happy with them, and they sound great when connected to my mixamp playing xbox or ps3 games. The problem comes when I am listening to music off my macbook pro. I...

Hello everyone, -I just received my brand new Dt990 (from reputable website) today and they had these strange horn looking bumps on the headband.  It looks like there is something "popping" out of the band.  Is this normal? The headband does not have a smooth curve. -Also, is the yoke on the...

Hi guys, been browsing around this website and I have to say the web address should tattooed onto every person's forehead who take music seriously. Okay enough of my admiration of this site and onto the issue at hand. This past month I've been tossing around the idea of getting a new pair of...

Hey guys I'm looking to purchase my first serious pair of headphones. I already have a pair of Sony MDR-V500s and they work great as portable headphones but I'm interested in getting some really solid headphones that I'll just keep for listening at home. I've heard many a great things about the...

Hey Guys, Any help is greatly appreciated! Background -Listen to mostly Rock/Industrial/Electronica/Indie. -Would like the option of watching movies and playing games. -Comfort is a big factor (which rules out Grado). -Willing to buy a cheap(ish) amp to drive them, but would also...
