I have a pair of DT880/250s and unfortunately it appears I damaged the right driver (long story).  Instead of fixing them (at least for now) I'm thinking of simply purchasing a new pair in the 600 Ohm version.  However, I am not sure my Millet hybrid (w/ TREAD p.supply, diamond buffers, love it)...

Alright guys, so I just signed up specifically for this question, hopefully you guys can help me out.    I'm going to be (hopefully very soon) be purchasing some 600 ohm Beyer DT 880's. The problem is, while I know how to choose headphones, I am very much a noob when it comes to amps. All I...

Hi,   I cannot borrow the Senns HD650 from the store to try out at home, so I find it difficult to gauge how much they leak compared to the DT880. My girlfriend said she could clearly hear music as I played it in the DT880 at home, will she hear more or less from the HD650?   Prologue: I...

I recently came into a bit money (About $1000 USD) and would like some suggestions on a DAC/Amp combo to replace my current set up (in signature).   What I'm looking for in terms of sound is:   -Neutral -Analytical -Good instrument separation and imaging -Just a little bit of...

  Hello,   I have decided that I am going to purchase the Beyer DT880 600 ohm headphones for music listening/monitoring purposes. I compose orchestral music as a hobby, and it'll be 50/50 between listening/monitoring.   I am currently wanting to update to a more advanced soundcard with...

Hi all,   My Beyerdynamic DT880 has died on the left channel. I am not sure what it is yet but I am thinking the driver might have died.   Would you guys consider it worth it to find replacement parts or just buy a new headphone?   Thanks

Just got my hands on a DT880 premium headphones bundle @ jaben! Since the bundle included a GoVibe Peak headphone amplifier i would just require a portable amp!(I know they are not suitable for outside use). Any suggestion or help would be appreciated, the headphone i am currently having is the...

Headroom no longer display the balanced DT880 on their website.   If they don't recable the DT880 anymore, does anyone else (reputable) still do it, or do you need to buy them used?   I would contact headroom directly to ask this but I'm in a different country to them and I don't have an...

Hello everyone,   As you can see my post count is now at 1. (whee) I have to admit I've been a music lover for several years now although my exposure and understanding of sound quality is probably well under-developed. I've been working for couple years now and finally have some breathing...

Hi everyone,   Recently my DT880 developed the infamous "grattle" or "rattle" on the right side. This only happened when playing low frequency music e.g. drums with plenty of bass etc... This phenomenon is best described as hearing some sort of paper rattling sound at low frequencies...

As the thread title says really... both are known for being light on bass, but which has more bass quantity?   I've heard that the K701 is quite mid-centric whereas the DT880 is actually somewhat the opposite and a mild 'v-shape' in frequency response (like a lot of modern headphones) - but...

Mine didn't come in a box. There are no markings that I can see.   ???

How good is the Fiio E9 for HD595 and DT880? (And possibly others, although I don't know which ones right now...). Does it have enough power to power the demanding DT880s (250ohm)?  

Going to buy a Little Dot III, and shortly thereafter, DT 880s...The 600ohm version. The upgradeitis has hit! (It's been since 2008 since I bought my HD595s, so it isn't happening quick)...  Is there a way to buy a Little Dot without $50 in shipping?

Please delete.

Is there an "all in one" box that will do ok with the dt880/600 ohm? I've read about quite a few of the ones in this price class and it seems like none of them are capable of driving the dt880/600 well enough..   Would the Bottlehead Crack kit at $220 and an $80-$100 DAC be ok? Or should I...

I don't know if a thread like this already exists but I have been unable to find one while searching. I am considering DIYing a thunderpants from one of smeggy's kits. but was wondering how there performance compares to headphones that can be had for around $300 (including used sets in good...

So I bought some Beyer DT 880's from someone recently, and I guess I actually have 2 questions.   1) How do you determine if it's the "Pro" or "Premium" version as whenever I try to look online at pictures it seems as if they're interchangeable, and   2) How do I determine which ohm...

How is the bass on the DT880 vs the V6? V6 are closed and DT880 are semi-open so this may be a tough comparison. Assume I will be using LDMK IV SE as the amp for the DT880s.

Hi I'm looking for something to compliment my new dt880/600. I was planning on getting the Bottlehead Crack, but for various reasons (unrelated to the amp itself) I'm looking for something else now. I bought the headphones for allround use but I would like them to do well with electronica...

So i finally got the K550..And i did not like them as much as id hoped..To darn bad since the overall design is..well for me, rather flawless.    So next up is the DT880 from beyerdynamic. My local store only had the 250 ohm version in stock for testing...Well i thought id give the...

So i'm not sure if this is old news or not, but i just discovered a very simple, very pleasant, mod for the 880's.    Maybe my ears have been changing lately but I've been finding the brightness of the 880's really fatiguing lately. Especially for electronic and trance the highs have really...

A/B'ing these 2 on the same equipment (Benchmark DAC1 for DAC and amp) and various metal and electronic tracks - I am not using an SPL meter - but the DAC1 has a stepped volume knob and I need to turn it only one step to get a subjective volume match between the HD650 and DT880. (The DT880 needs...

How well would they work together? Or should I dongrade to the 250 Ohms. I can also upgrade the OPAMP if that will help. Help please :)

The 600 Omhs are cheaper on amazon, but do I need the 600 ohm version or should the 250 ohms be better? What is better PRO or Regular from 2005?
