Hi all, I have been browsing through this forum for a few days now searching for reviews of beyerdynamic dt880 250 ohm headphones(cought my eye while browsing for headphones on internet).Found plenty of reviews,they seem like quality headphones and I am close to ordering them from "moon-audio"...

      Hi guys,   I'm thinking of picking up a DT880/600 soon, and as of now I don't have any amps/source components (other than my Macbook Pro).  I've heard that the LD MKIII is a good choice for these phones, but my max budget is $200, so I wouldn't be able to afford a DAC if I...

Hi Guys,   So I've been looking for a tube amp around this price range.  The source is a DIY amb gamma 1.   I've read that little dot mk3 is a good overall amp but I've read around that some people don't think it pairs well with a dt880.   Are there any other suggestions in this...

Download 'Slam' by Pendulum (the album it's on, 'Hold Your Colour' is available free on filestube at 320kbps) and test this for yourself. For me on my setup (320kbps mp3 -> ipod line out -> Fiio E9) the bass is exactly the same on HD650 as it is on DT880 (2005 version). The DT880 seems to play...

So I've had my SRH840's for over a year now along with my D4 Mamba. I've been really enjoying the detail and the whole new world of detailed music with these (first ever Cans, just amazing stuff). There is some music that they sound better than others, like when I'm listening to Classical on my...

I'm interested in how these 2 compare on bass response... Extension, slam, impact, quantity...etc...   Would be grateful for replies of people who have heard both (preferably at the same time period)   Also. I've heard some people say that HD600 has more upper bass slam than HD650 - is...

I've heard that the newer version (silver) HD650 is more bass light than the old.   Also heard that the 2005 DT880 is more bassy than the old DT880?   So which of the two have more bass?   Would obviously like answers from those who have heard both!!   Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone!    I posted a couple of questions in the original "Seek guidance here" thread but wasn't getting many hits on my questions so I thought I'd create a thread.    I picked up a few weeks ago, the Sennheiser HD-25 II's and absolutely love them. My only complaint is that I...

Which of these has more bass?   You hear of both of them being bass light yet I find my DT880 to have as much bass as my HD650. How does the K701 compare?

Hello Head-fi,   First of all i have to appologize for making a recommendation thread, I Promess to contribute when i receive my headphone by making a review and other contribution will follow when i get ideas.   I will first state that i am exited to leap into the higher end audio but i...

Hi friends,   I love the nice sound of my (now almost a year) well burned-in 880s. What amplifier could be the finest step forward from Darkvoice 3322 for Beyer DT-880 (potential gain is expected presumably in the area of pace and rhythm, as well as in slightly stronger bass). I have the...

While recabling my new dt880s, I managed to ruin one of the cloth pieces that goes into the back of the driver housing while using a heat gun on some heat shrink tubing.  Although the headphones still sound good without this cloth in the back I am wondering if anyone knows whether it is a...

Pretty staightforward. Looking for a decent quality amp to drive these headphones for under 250$.   On a side note, I don't have an audio interface w/ soundcard yet either, would it be worth getting one or would the sound quality be pretty much the same if I used only the amp and my Mac...

  I think my Beyerdynamic dt880/600's are broken!!!!  Basically the right channel is about 25% as loud as the left.  It is noticeable, and was sudden.....     Here is my story....   After rolling a tung Sol 5998 into my Woo Audio 3, I turned on the amp, let it warm up, then sat down...

Hey everyone, I got over my upgrade-itis for all of about 2 months but I'm back already :( So here's the thing, I absolutely love my DT880s. They haven't disappointed me for anything I've thrown at them: Classical, Jazz, Vocals, Electronica, Rock, etc, etc. But recently I've gotten a little bit...

Just wondering if anybody tried the Musical Paradise MP-301 MK2 with the beyer dt880

Hi, I'm a very long time lurker that just made an account. I have ordered the DT880/600 Premium (ie straight cable), but am now having doubts regarding the cable reliability; especially because of this review. First, I notice that the cable is not detachable like my AKG K702. How hard would it...

I've had these DT 880 for about five months now and when I went to put them on there is almost no sound coming out of the left driver. I don't hear anything out of the ordinary it's just that it's very, very quiet. Honestly I don't know what's wrong but I want to say that the soldered wires have...

I've come across a couple other threads on this topic here, and have seen amps like the Little Dot and the DarkVoice mentioned.  I wanted to see if there are other options I should be looking at.   Right now I have Millett Minimax and an ASL MG Head OTL.  I'm going to have to give one of...

Any opinions on this? I'm thinking of getting a pair of 325is ( or maybe a pair of 225i). Is there anything you believe Grado 225/325 would do better than my DT880?

Hi people.   How different would be driving a Beyerdynamic DT880, 250 ohm and 600 ohm versions from a vintage 70's pre-amp (Sansui CA-3000, Pioneer SPEC-1...), a new small mixer board (Mackie VLZ3, Allen&Heath, etc...), or a new dedicated headphone amplifier, like the Headroom series...

What is a semi open headphone? How much leakage of sound is there? I'm getting complaints about sound leakage from my AKG 701. I'm looking for  a headphone that wont leak sound but sounds good. I've read good things about the dt770 600 ohms.I' got about $300 to spend. Are there any others I...

Hey!    My actual headphone is a Beyerdynamic DT880 @600 ohm. It is great for classical music or jazz but I think for Rock and Metal there are better headphone out there. What I need in comparison to my Beyer is more and faster treble and livelier voices and guitars, overall more musican...

I want to know how big my head is by comparing it with others. I have my DTs set to the 4th notch (the 4th dot/circle) on both sides. Take the poll! You can see how big your head is.         Ram (Rom)

I got my DT880s a couple days ago and setup my old Yamaha to drive them.  While its not the best synergy, it doesn't seem to have any trouble with the 600 ohms.  My first impression was, "Wow, bright!"  But after a few hours of usage, they seem to have settled a bit and are much more...
