Hi everyone,    I like to browse this website but only now i made an account, i want to get a new headphone and am currently having a Steelseries 9H (i bought mistakenly, wanting to sell them asap in my country). I love to listen electro, house, hiphop, rap, pop music and also love to play...

Hi. I'm interested in getting a USB DAC + AMP for under $1000 that has plenty of power for my DT990 600 ohms. If anyone has recommendations, I'd really appreciate it! Peter

I really don't know what to do.  I got it in the mail today.  Set it up when I got off work just like it said and listened to music on it for a couple of hours.  It was bliss listening to it.  Then a couple of hours into breaking it in the right driver just stopped playing.  It came back on for...

So I just go a set of DT 990 600 ohm's in the mail today.  I'm loving them, but when I crank them up they get very distorted.  Plugged them into my Marantz PM5004 integrated amp which is being fed from the line out of my MacBook Pro.  Granted, my taste in music is drum & bass.  I'm thinking this...

I've been using my Beyer DT990's for a few months now since I bought them used here on head-fi, and ever since I've had them I've noticed that the left speaker emits a very unpleasant rattling/crackling sound sometimes, especially when playing games, and especially on certain low frequencies...

I recently purchased sony zx700s with head-fi's great advice. I'm building a rig and i need help on picking which sound card to get.   I probably won't be using this with speakers, since there are other people in my house. But if you guys happen to know about any cheap 2.1/5.1 or even 7.1...

Hi guys, I'm currently in the market for a new pair of headphones. I currently use beats by dr dre solo because I got them as a gift. I am looking to get either DT880s or DT990s depending on what you guys recommend.    I will be using the headphones for gaming and a bit of music  listening. I...

Edit: The question is not relevant anymore, I just replied with an update to the situation.   This is more like a "what if..." scenario at the moment, I'm not seriously considering it at least yet. But yea, I got my pair of Beyerdynamic DT-990 Premium headphones, and while they do sound...

I have an old Pioneer wireless headphone amp running off my Rotel. It's a wireless system- but the included pioneer headphones are a big large and the signal cuts out too often.   It has a 1/4 output for a second set of wired headphones. I have been plugging in my Ultrasone pro 900's and...

Hi All,   This is a both Headphone AMP as well as a DAC recommendation thread. I will start with all the details first:   Current Headphones - Beyerdynamic DT 990 (600 ohm) Music I listen to - Trance (lots of trance), New Age, instrumentals, chillout Current monitors - Swan t200b...

Alrighty so, heres where I am at:   I have a good dedicated source - a Denon CD player as my main use.   I have a littledot mkIII coming in with broken in amperex tubes (used here on head-fi!!)   I am looking for a pair of headphones under $400 to pair with this setup for use mainly...

 I'm looking to get a new pair of headphones on a budget of 300 dollars. I listen to a lot of dubstep and really any other music with a strong bass line, but at the same time I listen to a lot of classical music and classic rock. So I don't want a headphone with over powering bass. I'm...

Hi everybody.   I currently use a pair of Sennheiser HD439 with an ipod Touch and a Fiio E6. The hd439 are a great pair of headphones for 89 US and i like the warm sound signature and accurate bass. But for Electronic music i like a bassy sound  and much more detailed can, preferably...

Hey guys I was just wondering if I could get some help with what I'm trying to do here, and before I get "yelled" at for not "using the search tab" I have already and couldn't really find a definitive answer. For my newest computer build I'm planing on getting the Asus Xonar Essence STX for my...

Hey guys,   I've been having my Beyers for a while now and I've noticed that there are spots or smudges on the earpieces (specifically where it says DT 990 and whatnot).  I guess it's all over the metal or plastic? Not what the material is made out of.  I haven't touched them for probably 3...

I'm unsure what kind of headphones to get and I want to be sure that I don't get horrible headphones.   The top 5 headphones I've been looking at are: Bose QC15 Sennheiser HD598 B&W P5 Sennheiser Momentum AKG Q701   I know that there are other threads like this but I wanted the...

Hi everyone,   I have a I question about what would solution pair best with my Beyerdynamic DT-990 600 Ohms.  My usage is approximately 70% music, 30% gaming -- LoL, Skyrim, occasional FPS.   I'm currently considering a few options.  Feel free to add other suggestions to the mix.  ...

Hello all!    I was wondering if something like an asus xonar essence one would be a good combo with the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Premium 600 OHM Headphones? Or would this be overkill? Would it be better to just get the xonar essence stx with a Schiit Asgard headphone amp?   Thanks in advance!  

They have excellent connectivity and I've heard the sound quality is quite decent. I just want to make sure these will drive my DT 990 (600 ohm) competently. Thanks for any input.

I just bought a pair of DT990's(600 ohm), great right? Well I have virtually no knowledge of what an amp is, never mind a good one.   Here's the plan,   I want to come out from my Mac Mini with an optical cable, then connect directly to a combination DAC/Amp that is a great quality...

As the topic suggests I'm looking for head-fiers input on what cans you prefer to use with the LDMKIII.   Currently I'm using DT990 600Ω version myself and find the combination great. There's great deep bass, and I find that the warm sound of the tubes work great with taming some of the...

Wondering what amps you would all suggest that would drive my DT990/600s to their full potential, that would also work with some hifiman or Audeze cans later down the road. If getting one with a built in DAC, or even a seperate external DAC would help over my TiHD, let me know. I'd probably...

Currently I am using some low-end speakers + sub that I picked up for pretty much nothing ($30).  They are Gateway computer speakers (don't know the model) and a Pioneer SW-8.  Just thought I would mention that for some background.    In terms of headphones (really headset) I have Astro A40s...

Hi everyone,   I'm really big into trance/vocal trance/chill music and have been researching for the best headphones. People recommend Denons (D5) for Ultrasone (Pro 900) for EDM which is great, but which would be better for vocal trance or are there any other headphones that do a better...

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...
