Hi folks, I love my 12AU7 SSMH, as it performs quite well above its price bracket. However, one of my main gripes about it is that the gain is quite high; for low-impedance headphones (32ohm Grados, Audio-Technicas, most portable and DJ sets), there's a pretty audible hiss at normal listening...

Well, I just bought some Darth Beyers off the FS forums, and just got them in earlier this week. Upon first listen, something sounded slightly off with the bass between L and R channel, and there was a sort of rattle in the R channel, like the driver was loose. So, I opened them up and it turns...

I've done some easy mods to my DT231's, and I am pretty sure I currently enjoy them more than my DT250-80's. Thought I'd share it with you, as I am very sattisfied with these cans at the moment... Hopefully the feeling will last some weeks, or even months...

hey all!   i was looking at the beyer dynamic page earlier and didn't know until then that they do custom headphones.     do any other quality companies do this??

I never realized btw how old the design of the present beyer cupholders is  

Normally I would wait for reviews before risking something like this, but B&H are listing these at $199 U.S. instead of $299, so I ordered them. They're not returnable to B&H, so I hope there isn't something weird about the purchase or the merchandise, or they sound really awful. The promo...

  Hi,          Am kinda new here and recently bought an M50 from a fellow headfier here..... very impressed with it..now i have done over 180 hours on it and i have tried all kinds of music on it....   here is what i felt:   the bass is great but probably not as much as been said...

in all the portable amps I've tried, I was able to drive my cans more than loud enough.  so are these amps with 20 + volts output necessary?  is there another benefit to high volt power different from just how loud they can go? or are they only for high ohm cans like beyers/sennheisers/he-6...

I'm about to purchase my first set of real headphones -  i have some livewires but now i need something else... I watched a review on youtube for some Grados and one of the reviewers said because there is no cover on the outside grill, to the outside world the music you are listening to...

Hey guys, I found this forum when I was looking for an alternative to the HYPED Monster Beats phones. Suggestions to try the Ultrasone HFI-580's kept popping up, I scored a pair, and I'm in LOVE.   Now, I'd like to expand and experiment with some open headphones. I listen to a random mix of...

 Any one know where to get these?  Lot's on eBay, but I can't ever tell if they are threaded on the inside.   1/8" from the headphone jack to the amp at 1/4".  Like this one, but the left female end has to be threaded:  ...

So, I read in a few different places that the snap on Beyerdynamic headband cushion was a good solution to the d2000's lack of padding.  I ordered one up and finally got it today, but so far I've had no luck getting it on the Denons.  How did anyone manage to stretch this thing over the existing...

I know this topic may have been trashed but I have a PA2V2, I POD 80 g and sony xb 700, 300, ath m50 and sen hd 505. I live abroad but would like something in range 150 t0 280 us...is the beyers , ultrasone, denons have more bass than the above or even more than the xb 500 or should I save my...

Hi guys,   This is my first post here.  I've been lurking for a while, reading lots of reviews and user comments, but my main concern, comfort mostly unanswered.   The past 10 years I've been a very satisfied user of the infamous Philips SBC HP890, but as with many, the plastic has...

Hello all,   Just wondering how accurate the beyer manufaktur website is about the colors. This is the set of cans I was thinking about purchasing and I wanted to make sure that they headband and the accents match. Thanks in advance.  Cheers!  

I notice that these headphones will pick up anything, it can pick up hissing.  Is this headphone that good, that it can pick up flaws?  With my Beyer 600ohm and other top end over the ear the hissing is not as loud.  I am now starting to appreciate what IEM is all about.  These are the go to...

Dear Everyone, especially Little Dot/Beyer lovers,   Finally I got my LD Mk IV SE to pair with my Beyer DT-900 (ohm).   This combo was decided after much reading in this forum, some audition of headphones and amps and of course based on my budget.   The pair is brand new and I would...

...back down to a 'normal' impedance for regular listening on all sorts of sundry devices?   I'm guessing the answer is "no" in which case life sucks! Mine are still under warranty and (due to circumstances largely beyond my control) I've used them for no more than 4 hours tops. I'm now...

Hi   Need new phones. This time closed. For monitoring outside when we will record... So need cans with no or little sound leak. sound quality is not so important but still need to be good. Price? Something to around 150€ or maybe little more.   I was looking at: Beyer DT150, 250 -...

nuforce icon, 3move. anything else out there i should consider for the 250ohms? go desktop?... ph100, zero, x-head,? any info, advice would be appreciated, thanks. budget, trying to keep around 250.... main use is via PC, music, gaming... i do run a XF-I fatality titanium pro soundcard.

As I have been searching for beautiful headphones for another thread of mine, I have been captivated by the looks of vintage headphones. My question is what are the best sounding headphones (pre-1980), and do any of them sound as good as modern headphones?

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...

Budget: $300-400   Music: Dubstep [Skream, Aerial, Milanese] Modern/Indie Rock [The Microphones, Radiohead, Modest Mouse] Guitar-centric Classic Rock [Stevie Ray Vaughan, Allman Brothers]   Cans: Beyer Tesla T1s, Beyer DT990/600, Sennheiser HD650 [Headphile Terminator V4 coming soon]  ...

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...
