I've got them recently and they're okay. But a little too bright for me and not reach enough. Maybe some more break in is needed but i suspect it's not the cause. Still the closed pair with the best soundstage i've ever heard, So i'll keep them. What about using them for studio monitoring and...

I have been doing a lot of research for the past week, and I realised how much minimal knowledge I have. So I figured maybe some knowledgeful people could assist me in my research for my first pair of cans! ^^   -Have around 300-400$ budget. -Need low leakage -Need decent clamp  -I...

Hello! I'm looking to buy my first reasonable pair of headphones. I listen to mainly classical music and these will be for use in a coffee shop powered from a laptop or iPhone etc. I'm on a tight budget of $150. I have no problem buying second hand to get in under this figure. I currently...

Beyerdynamic DT 660 / 880 / 990 Pro A comparison -- Intro/Background -- My first real headphone experience was with a pair of Grado SR60s which I still own to this day. All I knew at the time was that they were "audiophile" quality, and I truly thought that this must be the...

I have a pair of ATH-M50’s that I have had for about 1.75 years now and would now like to pick a new pair.  I have been out of the Head-Fi loop for a little while now and am now interested in getting in and getting something new again.   I would like to keep the budget under $250 and like to...

Looking to upgrade from my current pair: Denon D1001.  I know closed aren't preferable for classical, but I need to keep them closed to block external noises.  I use them mostly out of my MacBook listening to lossless files or streaming from MOG.   So far, I've been thinking about the...

Currently, I am running my DT660 with a Leckerton 6UHA MkII amp at work. They are great for classical music, but almost totally hit or miss with just about everything else. They have a wide soundstage and mids tend to sound very passive on them (on top of the overall sound being bass-light), to...

Reviews on Amazon.com look very good for cans selling under $60.  I prefer Open-Air(Back) cans, will run mostly off my computer output.  Enjoyed Senn 518s before, AKG K240 and MKII's, Beyer DT660's.  Loved the Beyers to death but unable right now to afford them.  Takstars look a lot like the...

Hello,   I have been reading the forum for days now and decided to ask for advice. I would like to buy a pair of compact closed head-phones for indoor use (office, library etc). I mostly listen classical but not foreign to electronic and rock. I have noted few recommendations, suggesting BD...

Hello Head-Fi! Long time lurker, first time poster here.   I'm looking to do a full upgrade on my audio system for my computer, coming from on-board audio (I used to use an external sound card but, upon getting new IEMs, I began to notice a hiss much worse than the one from the on-board...

This question probably has a simple answer, so here it goes. I purchased a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 660 headphones for listening to classical music. I simply have them plugged directly into my PC, and this makes sense since their impedance is 32 ohms. The product came with the 6.34 mm adapter...

Hi there,   I put some Equation RP-21 earpads on my Beyer DT660. Warmed them up significantly and they finally have the lowend impact i always wanted them to have. Down to 20hz there is a good amount of energy with these pleathers. The phones now sound much more balanced and almost relaxed...

I'm looking at buying a soundcard and headphones. I was thinking this combination. http://www.amazon.com/product/dp/B000Y03A3A?tag=donations09-20 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132010 Am I maximizing my soundcard with the current headphones? If I am not what should I...

I'm so crazy about Classical music that I want to do it professionally and so naturally I want some really excellent headphones. I'm looking for headphones under $90 that are clear and crisp treble, effective strongs mids, colorful, and punchy tight (not boomy) bass. I listen to all types...

Hello people,   I am in the process of buying my first headphones, and at the moment the BEYERDYNAMIC DT 660 or AKG K 550 might be a good choice. The purpose of these headphones will be to listen to Blu-ray dvd, HD music files (mostly alternative rock), and playing games offline.  So my...

Hi there! Does anyone know if the ear pads for DT880s fit 660s? If it makes a difference, my 660s are the old style with the silver mesh. Thanks for your help!

Hi all,   I'm looking for a pair of comfortable, closed back headphones to wear for hours at a time at work (the on-ears i normally wear on the bus and just wear at work aren't comfortable enough).  They'll be used for low volume listening to mostly instrumental (classical/orchestral...

Hi   I am standing between Beyer DT660, DT770 Pro (80 Ohm or 32 Ohm) and ATH-M50 for portable use without amp. I listen mainly to classical music, less so to jazz and acoustic, rock, occasionaly to some electronic music. I need a headphone that seals good and is portable in the way that I...

So I posted a thread yesterday asking for some help on selecting a pair of headphones - I have now got three options which I am trying to select between. Feedback would be greatly appreciated!   So background is I'm looking for a pair of headphones for around the $200 mark. I listen to alot...

My DT1350 sounds great but way too uncomfortable for 1hr + of usage.  I want to switch to a larger headphone with a similar neutral sound.  I use my headphone at my office so it must be a closed type.  I read reviews on the DT660 and it seems like a good one, unfortunately it is an older model...

Hey guys!   I'm trying to find some portable (or at least semi-portable) headphones. But I have a situation that's kinda tricky for me to find some good cans.   I find in-ear and on-ear headphones extremely uncomfortable, so I need a pair of over-ear headphones. But I need to be able to...
