I know this is a crazy question, but I was wondering if there is an amp that can drive 600ohm Beyer.  I have D10, it drives my 300ohm HD650 no problem.  So, does a portable amp that can drive a 600ohm Beyer exist?  I am coupling it with my Sony X series player.   I like the look and the size of...

Hi head-fiers!   You might remember me when I asked you what headphones will sound good with classical or when I was choosing some budget AMP. Since that time I have raised a bit more cash and now plan to build 'proper' system.   During last 2 weeks I did research to find out more about...

Votes please!  I'm leaning toward the Burson but all the writing about the Concerto has me thinking.  

Approximately the same price. Aesthetically I think the V4s look a bit better.  I have Beyer T1s and HD650s now. Looking for a more bass heavy pair of cans for listening to dubstep (skream, milanese, starkey, aerial, etc), alternative hip hop (mos def, atmosphere, etc) and misc electronic...

I know we all have our likes and dislikes when it comes to brands of headphones. But I noticed most headphone brands have a certain house sound. Which ones do you dislike/annoy you the most?   Is it Grado's in your face slam, or maybe Sennheiser's dark veil? Is it AKG's really punchy but...

I am curious to see what some of you guys bought as your first real headphones and what you bought after those and what you have now. I just want to see how you guys go so into this hobby that you are willing to spend so much!

Hi there,   I received monday a Beyer DT 770 600 oms manufaktur, and it seems to have a little problem. Indeed there is a small level difference between the left and rights ears.   The headphones are not plugged to an amp, and neither burned.   Do you think it could be the cause ...

I posted yesterday about a possible upgrade from a fiioe7 + Ipod with LOD and jvc ha-rx900's.   After searching through numerous threads I plan to get a d4 mamba amp / dac.   However I'm wondering what these can power sufficiently.  I'm not a hardcore audio-phile (yet) but going from...

I have a quick question. I recently purchased an astro mixamp and I'm looking for a good headset for mostly gaming (80%), movies (15%) and music (5%). I've done a far amount of research on the internet but have been unable to actually try these headphones and since it seems like some people have...

As stated in title, I need help looking for Headphones around/under $200. listening to mainly classical/opera, and also Chinese instrumental/Klezmer/medieval etc not listening to pop/rock/metal preferably closed   also need a comfortable one without much pressure, noticed a white...

I just picked up a set of Beyer dt48 that are 25ohms. I think the LD mkV was designed for higher impedance headphones. I have a 300ohm impedance adapter a friend made for me. The dt48 definitely has better bass when I use the adapter as opposed to just plugging into the mkV. Does anyone know...

I really like these cans, but they were becoming increasingly uncomfortable due to the plastic ear cups cracking. I've seen this on other people's cans as well in the street, and remembered that I had some Beyer velour pads in my closet, which were supposed to be fit onto my Sony V6's before...

Those are vintage phones from the 70's. Does anyone know how they sound? Especially in comparison to HD414? Thanks!

Yeah, I know, another "please recommend" thread.    I read the FAQs on Beyers site, and along  with some Googling, and I think I want the DT-880 250 ohm model.   600 ohm might be more neutral, but I don't want to have to need an amp.   Don't think I want closed because open is just...

Hello everybody, Im new to this whole thing and my listening is at least 95% E.D.M. (trance, hard trance, hardstyle, and electro) Ive been reading these forums all day and im barely beginning to understand things a little bit haha.. from what ive read, those types of beyers ive listed seem...

To my surprise, there is no general thread about vintage beyer headphones yet! There is the awesome dt48 thread of course, but I think a general thread would not be superfluous and there is none as far as I know. To remedy this most unfortunate situation , let all of us vintage beyer gear owners...

hi folks!   i mostly listen to spoken word and vocals, occasionally watch movies, and rarely listen to music.  i have been using a pair of sennheiser hd 25-1 II's.  they sound wonderful, but my ears hurt if i use them for more than a couple of hours.   i used to have a pair of bose...

A few points for consideration:   I like my Grado SR80s, but I need a set to listen to in bed while my wife snoozes next to me.   The Grados are a tad bit harsh on the top even with the EF2 tube amp. I'd like something with a bigger soundstage (wider and deeper), as well as better...

Looking to purchase a set and want to see wood combos with close ups if you have them.

Happened upon these by chance on German e-bay today. For you crazy guys out there.   Sennheiser Surrounder:   http://cgi.ebay.de/SENNHEISER-SURROUND-RAUMKLANG-HORKRAGEN-RAR-/130411736331?cmd=ViewItem&pt=DE_Lautsprecher_Martin&hash=item1e5d252d0b   Beyer blow-up pillow-phone:  ...

Am currently running these high impedance phones off a Ming Da tube amp.  Would like to try a solid state amp just to contrast and compare the sound signatures.  Would a Matrix M-stage be a good match?  Any other SS amp recommendations.  Budget is <$500.     Skylab.......you out there????

My fellow Head-Fiers, lets see how many of you can pay attention to the actual question.....   I've been using the etymotic 4p/s headphones for quite some time and enjoy the sound quality very much (unamped)   BUT I've listen to the Beats by Dre studio headphones on many occasions and...

I have decided i'm willing to spend up to $400 max, sorry for creating lots of threads my priorities have changed and so has my budget.   Here are my priorities, the list IS in order from most to least important but they are all important :)  I don't mind if its open or closed, YOU CHOOSE as...

which one is better?
