My friend have the 600 ohms and me the 250 ohms. We tested with headphone directly on X-Meridian 7.1 sound card and using SinglePower MPX3-Slam to confirm the results. We took time to adjust with pinknoise both headphone using RadioShack sound level meter to be sure to have the same level...

I am having a particularly hard time picking between these two.  Many ppl said in other threads that the 990 Prem might be better, but I dont understand clearly why.  I've had the Sen 555s, and the AT700s.  Obviously the AT700s had a lot more clarity, but lacked warmth and at times made me miss...

Hey, I'm new to the forums and I've been wondering which headphone of the 990's I should get 250ohm or the 600ohm? I like to listen to electronic music trance/hardstyle. I currently own a littledot mkIII amp so it might be able to power the 600 ohms. I also have senn 650, but it doesn't...

I know there have been many discussions about the relative sound of the T1 and DT880/600 /  DT990/600, but most often in pairs, and not so often focused on the bass quantity/quality.   As a frame of reference, I really like overall sound of the DT880/600. And for most types of music...

Hi all,   I am looking for a desktop headphone amp to match the DT-990 (600 ohm).   Therefore, I seek your recommendation for a good match. Budget not more than $800.   Maybe, can have three category since they are so many amps around.. 1. Under $300 2. Under $500 3. Under $800...

So I'm comparing these two headphones to the HD650 and the bass sounds like it has pumps...like it's cut up or something. it sure doesn't sound right. On the HD650, it's very smooth and right. Is there a reason why the bass sounds like that? Like it has pumps? Is that what you call muddy?

Hey guys, just wanted to get your opinions on something. Last week, my girlfriend bought me a pair of dt990/250 headphones, and i tried to drive them from my laptop and they sucked. so I went out to get a nuforce udac2 and they sounded pretty damn good (for that price). Now coincidentally my...

I've searched all over this thread but can't find a good comparison   If you pit these 2 against each other (Beyer DT900 VS Ultrasone 900)...what are the pros and cons of each?

Hey,   I am not a huge audiophile and don't notice sound differences the way my boyfriend does. He has some nice receiver he loves that has a special jack on the front of it. It's not the normal size for a headphone jack.   He was talking the other night about how he wished he had big...

Would this combo work well?   If not, would would be a good amp in the same price range?

Hi guys,   I have ordered the DIY Novo amp kit and am looking for a nice headphone upgrade to go with it without breaking the bank   I was considering the Beyerdynamic Dt990 600 ohm version. Will the Novo amp be able drive these well ?   If not, can you recommend any other headphone...

I saw a both DT 990 and DT 990 Pro on eBay by the same seller, and the buynow for "Studio Pro edition" was much cheaper. Is there any difference between the two? I would assume "pro edition" to be more expensive though...

I really like the sound of my rig: Music Hall Maverick CDP DarkVoice DV332 Beyerdynamic DT990/600 It sounds great but it can sound better, right?  I was thinking of upgrading my amp to a CSP2 , MAD Ear+ or DNA Sonnett.  My question is would this be an actual upgrade? What I like...

I want to get either but don't know which to go with.   i really love the black design of the 250 ohm version...but there is a 600 and 32 ohm version.   now if i do have a powerful source to power the 600 ohm, will i experience better sound quality? please don't tell me that with the 250...

Hi, first of all sorry for my english. not my main lang.   I don't like my Senns HD555. I Feel them muddy, congested, bass anemic, flat and not fun at all to hear ...(i'm trying to learn the sound language, but i'm a total newbie, so maybe im saying something dumb ) . I used to have a Yamaha...

Would like an Amp/DAC combo (for simplicity's sake) if reasonably possible whilst maintaining the most quality for my budget. Budget is ~$200 for something used (I know, it isn't much).   Looking at the Firestone Audio Fubar III. Possibly a used Matrix M Stage + cheap DAC? What are the...

Hey, I've posted here and there and I've been considering getting some new headphones after something just did not feel as awesome with my sr-80s, which led me to here(contrary to popular belief avoiding this forum will not save your wallet) I want something that can pump lots of bass when I...

hey guys, i'm new here and can't wait to start learning off of this forum!   i need help deciding between the   AKG K702     Beyerdynamic DT990 600 ohm     Sennheiser HD650     Or is there something else I should look into?   my budget is up to $350.   Something...

I have the AV123 X-head amp right now, and if i were to upgrade for driving these headphones.....which one should I get Has anyone driven these headphones with this amp before? Or Something similar to this?? I would very much like to know. Thanks.

I'm getting the 600 ohm DT990 and I'm new to this culture.  I know it would need an amp, but I'm not looking for anything too expensive.  What is the cheapest, I guess most bang for the buck amp that would drive this headphone.  Thanks!

I just ordered them from Amazon for $230 after countless hours of contemplation between these and the K701's. I really liked the way the 701's look, and that they had a great sound stage, but I decided that the 990's are an overall better phone. The 600 Ohms also did me in. I have an AV123...

How would you compare the two h-phones?

These headphones will be used for watching DVDs (movies & series) as well as listening to music (flac). Genre: Rock/indie. They are for my girlfriend and will be her first pair of high quality headphones. I want them to sound good unamplified but may be able to squeeze in an inexpensive...

Hello all,   I listen to Indian classical music and songs with a lot of vocals. I also listen to Soft Rock, Power Ballads and some 80's pop. Some examples would be Dire Straits ( Sultans of Swing ) Aha ( hunting high and low ) Madonna ( Live to tell, La Isla Bonita ) Bon Jovi ( Wanted...

So i finally received my Beyerdynamic DT990/600ohm after a long agonizing torturous 2 day wait I wasn't ready to upgrade my DT880/250's anytime soon, but B&H had an insanely good deal on these cans + I'd like to thank my good friend my.self who showed me the sale !!! if anyone is...
