Hey all, finally got my friend to agree to upgrade from a pair of Dixie cups tied with a string to a real set of headphones, so I picked out a set of Beyerdynamic DT880 / 600 Ohm for him.  I told him how much he was gonna like 'em, and he will, but when I asked what amp he was planning to plug...

Hey guys. I hope this is the right sub section. I've just pulled the trigger on a second 7970 graphics card which means that my Xonar STX soundcard will have to go. Current setup: Headphones: Xonar STX -> Little Dot MKIII Tube Amp -> Beyerdynamic DT880 600ohm headphones Speakers: Xonar STX...

Warning: This review was written in the beginning of my days evaluating and appreciating headphones performance, at that time I was lacking knowledge and experience and only amp I was using was Fiio E06 hence take it with a grain of salt!!!  Many of you know the story one of the king's servant...

Hello everyone!,   Recently I broke my old headphones (Steesleries Siberia V2), so now i'm on the hunt for a new set of can's   Got my eyes on the DT990/32, only one problem, I'm talking quiet alot on skype with friend's, so I have a question how bad doe's the DT990/32 leak? or even the...

It's a decent deal 145usd.   I don't have a sound card, but im getting a creative zx soonish   I don't enjoy the springs i have to force so that the pads reach my ears.

Way back in 2007, I bought the Pioneer TRE-2000/DIR-2000C Dolby Digital Cordless Surround Headphones. I used the thing for about a year before I decided to replace it with something more lightweight and portable. So the thing is, I recently picked up the DT880 Pro 250 and was wondering whether...

Hello everyone I know there are a many comparison out there between these two headphone, but I'd love to get some input in comparing them for a very specific purpose. I need new headphones and I'd use them for listening (almost exclusively classical music). Chamber music's high on the list...

Hello Head-Fi. I've never given high-end audio equipment much thought because I've always been more keen to spend more money on PC-related gear, and not so much on audio. I think most of it went into expensive displays, actually... but as of right now I'm ready to take the plunge into the...

I'm looking for a headphone that is great for FPS gaming and sound positioning. I've been using ATH AD700 but it's very uncomfortable for me. The pads are itchy and headphone is very loose. I've tried bending it here and there but it's always either too loose (at the perfect height to my ears)...

Hi,    I'm looking to get into open headphones. I'm looking at the Beyers because they're supposed to be insanely comfortable and I can get them ~$250 used. The only amp that I currently own is the E07K though. Will the combo work well enough or should I not bother until I have the cash for...

Hi All,   I'm new here, looking to buy a pair of good headphones, considering primarily the ones listed above. There's lots of discussion out there comparing these and discussing which ones need a headphone amp more than others and how they compare with or without amping. I'm planning on...

Hello all,   First post.   I've been enjoying my new DT880's (600ohms)  now for about a month, albeit out my Denon AVR 2907 phono jack.  I'd have to agree with what I've read that the headphones do lean a bit to the brighter side of neutral.  I don't mind that however, my 7.1 speaker...

Hello everyone,   First, i apologize for my poor English language, thanks for your indulgence. Resistance is futile… Yes, i know… and for my wallet too ! Indeed, i can’t resist the urge to try different Headphones, again, and again, like many Head-Fi'ers…   I wished to try another...

+++ UPDATE 07-24-2011 +++ What you need: - a DT880 edition/pro with 250ohm or 600ohm - a pair of EDT770Velour (black or grey) or Beyerdynamic EDT990Softskin or EDT300Leather or EDT300Gel   The mod doesn't work with the older DT880.   Alternatives:   - a DT770 edition/pro and...

NOTE: Both these were the 600ohm variant and were tested out of my MKIII through my P1260 using a large variety of music   Build, Appearance, and Function   Basic Build: Obviously, the build and appearance of both these headphone will be nearly identical. And that is correct, with...

I recently acquired a pair of Beyerdynamic dt880 pro (250 ohm) headphones and I just don't know what to make of them. The problem is that on the one hand, they are superbly detailed and crisp on good recordings but hideously harsh and excessively bright (and sibilant) on poor recordings. The end...

Just got 880s today and notice that there's a tad bit too mcuh treble for my taste.  also, i am using audinst as dac/amp.  is there an amp that i could pair nicely with 880 to give bass a little boost?  I am still planning to use audinst as a dac.  thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,   I've been reading this forum for years, and it has been tremendously helpful.  I decided to take a leap of faith and enter the audiophile world. I've just ordered a DT 880 600Ω as well as a LD MKIV SE. This should keep me busy for a while. I'm still missing a DAC, but...

  Hi,   I'm trying to figure out what portable headphone amp I should get.  I'm using the 32ohm version of the DT880 with my iphone and my macbook at work.   So far I've considered the E7 and the PA2V2.  The E7 seems nicer in terms of features, I could plug it into my macbook and use...

After about 2 years and tons of research I have the setup I've always wanted. Asus Xonar Essence ST --> Blue Jeans LC-1 ---> Little Dot MK III ---> Beyerdynamic DT 880 (600 ohm)     Even though I am passionate about music I really bought this equipment for FPS gaming on my PC. Now that...

Hi,   just wondering if, from your experience, the jack from an integrated amp with 220ohm output impedance would drive these fine.   Thanks

Hello,   I'm currently set on buying a pair of DT-880 600Ω, but would like to hear if anyone has suggestions for alternatives. I was looking at Ultrasone Pro 900s and K702s, but came to the conclusion that K702 doesn't fit my liking for electronic music. The Pro 900s seems great for...

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to the audiophile scene.  I'm looking to get my first pair of nice headphones! I've been searching around for quite a while now, and after testing out some DT880 250 ohms, I found their comfort combined with their excellent sound to be just what I think I'm looking...

  Hi all, After years of using only in ear headphones, I am decided to try a full size open ones. I have been pretty much a Shure guy (e3, e500, 535) and I have owned also some sennheiser ones, but always in ear. I need some help choosing full size open cans, because I've never tested...
