Hi, thought I would finally join on here after a long time lurker.   I've been researching much over the past few months, as I'm after some new headphones for gaming and listening to music. I have some HD555's at the moment and after much reading I want to go for the DT 880.   Now I know...

I produce dance and techno music in a home studio. I have nice monitors but I need some headphones to work with since I live in apartment and can't really crank a lot of bass for any extended period of time.   From a lot of Googling I've narrowed it to the DT880, HD 650, or AKG K701 (I am...

Hey guys, I am about to purchase the Bey DT880/250 ohms, but I noticed some listings state "PRO" in the title and others don't, is there a difference?   Thanks,

Hi All !! this is my first post , glad to part of the community.   I stumbled on this forum a few weeks back looking for information to assist me in my first headset purchase and boy did I find the right place, what a fantastic forum. I’m happy to hopefully also make a valuable contribution...

So I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a pair of Beyerdynamic headphones and am now trying to decide between the 880s and 990s.   Would you go for the 880 or 990? What's the difference between the two? Will a Sony home receiver be able to drive the 600 OHM versions? (if not I'll go...

Hi guys,   I've recently acquired some older (pre-05) DT880s, and I'm falling in love with their sound.   The only downside is that my ears (mainly left) are being pressed reasonably hard by the foam covering the driver. I'm wondering whether it's the pads - they are clearly quite old...

I have got these DT880's that i have been sitting on in a non-working state for about 6 months now that have got a problem with the sound being greatly reduced and distorted on the right hand side, yet still resembling the music you are playing. Now I asked this about what the problem might be...

I'm very close to choosing one of the cans in the title. I've read a bunch of conflicting opinions on the mids between the HD 600 and HD 650, so I'm going to try them out before making a decision. Any input on the mids or sound quality on any of the models would also be greatly appreciated.  ...

Hello everyone. I've researched for months and have had several changes of heart, but I ultimately have decided that I will purchase the Beyerdynamic DT880s and use them as my main stationary listening phones to complement my hd595s. The dilemma I face is knowing which version to buy, and I have...

Hi, I've just bought some AD1000's and an  Asus Xonar Essence STX . The problem being i wanted the DT880's (250ohms) but was told that the Xonar would not be able to drive them . I've been searching forum's and have found conflicting reports ? So can someone please help me out with a more...

Hi so I finally decided on what headphone I am getting and that is the Beyerdynamics DT880 pro. I was wonder if you guys think that the fiio E7 as a portable amp and the E9 as a good destop amp I will be using the E7 on my zune hd and my computer/zune/xbox for my E9.

Hi all.  I haven't posted a whole lot on head-fi so far but I had the opportunity to have a shoot-out of sorts this Labor Day weekend and I wanted to share with you fine folks.  Thanks to Kinger and Mchuck for your Denons and beyers, respectively.  Enjoy!    Associated gear goes like this...

I'm currently looking for an amp to drive the Beyerdynamics DT880 headphones. The primary candidates I've read up on are the Schiit Valhalla/Lyr, Little Dot Mark III, and the Woo Audio 2/6.   I would like some advice/impressions from people who've auditioned or own any of these amps and if...

I've been looking around and I figure this would be the best place to look around for it. I'm looking for someone to rewire my DT 880 600 ohm headphones with silver conductor.   Was just curious what that would cost me and who I could talk to?

By 'amp not an issue', I mean that will not be a problem for me.   The headphones currently in my possession and not in storage are...   ER4S (nearly perfect, though could be a touch more liquid),   modified isolating HD25 (liquid, but a little uneven and not super tight or...

Hi all,   I am really keen to try out some orthodynamic headphones, but am not sure which would make the best starting point for my preferences.   Of the many conventional headphones that I have owned, I am most keen on the sound signature of the Beyer DT880, more so than Senn HD650's...

Hi, I've been lurking these forums for the past month figuring out what to get as my first set up. Last week I finally decided to get the audio-gd nfb-12 and a pair of dt 880 600 ohm headphones. I just started listening to this set up and I noticed when I have the volume knob past 1 o' clock I...

Hi. Yet another newcomer to the forum and hifi equipment. Read quite a few reviews and got interested in buying the DT880. Maybe it's too much for the 1st hifi gear (maybe I should go with the so famous M50) but anyway. Guess it's pretty obvious that I do not have any other gear such as...

thinking of purchasing the DT880 600Ohm version... Currently own a HP-P1 and a E7/E9 combo...   I generally use the E7/E9 for the desktop computer source but also spend time with my HP-P1 when i am commuting or not in front of my computer...    I guess my question is does these two drive...

Hey guys, just like the title says. I'm looking to place an order for some new headphones. Currently have this in my shopping cart at moon audio..   Beyerdynamic DT 880 Ohm Rating 600 Ohm Dragon Series V1 Cable With 5' Silver Dragon V3 Headphone Cable Connector Oyaide 3.5mm Plated...

to cut a long story short, i'm now sitting at home with the SR225is on my noggin, listening to all kinds of music.   I went to the local electronics market in Beijing earlier on today, with the preconception that I wanted to try a number of different headphones, namely, the beyer T50p, the...

I need an amp that's under $190 to support the 250 ohm Beyerdynamic DT880. Any suggestions?

I've been doing a lot of searching the forums and haven't found a a consensus on a portable headphone amp. I have the 250 ohm DT 880s and Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10.  I am looking  for a solid headphone amp for my Macbook Pro and that would work for my iPhone. I have heard a lot of mixed reviews...

Do they basically have the same sound signature - ie. weak bass and sharp treble?   If they differ - how do they differ?   Which has weaker/stronger bass/mids/treble - and is it different enough to consider them a different presentation?

I have recently received a $250 gift card to bhphotovideo.com, and since I'm a huge music lover without a decent pair of headphone I chose to invest my money on a quality pair of headphones.  I don't have too much money as I am currently a college student, so the most I can spend on the...
