Due to my current situation, I am in need of a second headphone because of a couple of issues I am having. I currently own an ultrasone signature pro which is closed, so I want this one to be open since I've never really owned an open headphone before. I did a bunch of tests with EQ to see what...

 Hey everyone. I was purchasing some new computer hardware, and came across word that an amplifier plus a dac provides really good sound quality for headphones. I am currently just using a claro halo to power my BeyerDynamic DT 880's 600ohm, and was wondering if i would benefit from getting an...

I got my dt 880s today and tested them out on my PS3 and PSP. ( i hooked them up to my fiio e9k/e17 )   Now what i found is that:   - Playing PS3 games the Sound was ok. - Playing PSX games with the ps3, the Sound was very good. - Playing PSP, the Sound was very good.   Now i...

Hi guys, I am new here so please excuse me if it has been discussed before.   I am looking for an amp (and maybe a DAC) for under 150$ to power my Dt880 (250 omhs)   I don't really care if it's used or not, but I would assume that something used for 150$ is way better than something new...

The title pretty much says it all. Amazon has the DT880 at $249 at the moment and I'm thinking of buying it while the price is still low, but I'd like to know if my Fiio E17 portable amp will be powerful enough to drive it. Any takers?

So I purchased a pair of 600Ohm DT880 on Amazon for a decent price last week. Yesterday I received the headphones only to find that they shipped out the 32Ohm version :( Amazon has amazing return/replacement policy, but it looks like there's going to be another week of waiting.   Does anyone...

Hi,   Can someone do a brief comparison of DT880, HD600, ESP 950 & A1000X please? I'm thinking about getting one of them (Next month is my brother's birthday). I have DT880's myself and I love it, but still I think maybe the other headphones to be a better choice. and If I know the...

Assuming both are driven by a good headphone amp, will the T5p offer a higher level of playback than the DT880? What are the expected improvements or differences? Refinement and detail? Are the differences appreciable or subtle at best?   I am looking to purchase the T5p as it appears to be...

Hi all,   I was a pretty active member several years ago... owned the HD650, DT880s, had a dv336i amp and basically sold it all, only hanging on to my Shure E500 IEMs (which still rock).  I'd really like to become active again, but I think I'd like to take it "down a notch."  I'm not really...

Hello everybody, I need an amp for my DT880 600 ohms and I'm undecided between the following amps: Violectric V100 and the Lafigaro-Darkvoice 339. I know they are quite different, but they have in common a feature that help me manage my problem: my hearing ability is lower on my right ear...

I have recently bought Beyerdynamic DT880 Premium 600ohm to use for a wide range of things, from videogames to listen to IPod. I already had AKG Q701 and they are perfect except the volume matter, and the Beyers are even worse. I don't want to give some large bucks for the amp or a DAC device if...

I'm not sure whether to get DT880 or DT990. Most comparisons between the two note the difference in the bass. The 990 has more bass than the 880. But Grado SR225 are the only headphones I've ever owned, so I'm hoping someone who has owned both Grados and a Beyerdynamic can tell me where the...

Alright I'm pretty set on getting one of these headphones. I'm just wondering witch pair would be better suited for me. I make electronic music. Are the 880's way better than the 770's in sound? And should I use closed headphones like the 770's or open like the 880's. Aaaaaand should i go with a...

Hello everybody,   I am totally new to mid- to high-end audio and since I don't understand it very well yet, I would really appreciate your help. As an FPS gamer, I have completely neglected audio in favor of video, so much so that my current setup is an ASUS Xonar DG, a 5 year old set of...

Could someone please give me some guidance on how these models compare soundwise and which you think would best suit my needs?    DT 880 32 ohms AD 900 AKG 550 Q701 (I've heard these are difficult to drive)   I'll be driving the headphones primarily through my iphone 4 and macbook...

Hello Head-Fi members,   I've been wanting to get a pair of high quality headphones for a while and now that I have to dough, I'm ready to buy.    I've been looking at the DT-880's and I really like the look of them. I will be using them on an external music player (iPod, smartphone...)...

Simple enough, would you say that the DT 880 PRO would be a good recommendation as someone who loved the DT 990 PRO ?    I've heard people say it sounds same but less bass, but I've also heard people say it sounds quite a bit different after all it is a different headphone entirely.   ...

Title says it all, what is the best Amp (preferably portable) for the Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro's 250 ohm for around $60.   So far the Fiio E11 is on the top of the list, but I barely know anything about Amps.   Cheers

So I got this nifty FR chart and I'm wondering... which is better or rather which is has more accurate sound quality? Ultimatley I'd like one of these two, and I hoping for a neuatrual can with that would be good for most genres like Classical Jazz, Rock, Folk, Accoustic Rock and a little...

 So I just bought the DT880's with 250ohm impedance and haven't gotten an amp or dac yet. I heard that there is a possibility of damaging them from under driving them. I'm using them on my computer right now and I can get them louder than I even need. Is there more to driving headphones than...

How much would is cost to replace two diaphragms for the Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro 250-Ohm? How much would it cost me to send it to Beyerdynamic for repair/replacement of two diaphragm? How much would it cost me to order two diaphragms and repair/replace it myself?

I noticed a huge price increase in the DT990 600ohm headphones in the last few days.  This wasn't my next planned upgrade as I wanted to get the tube amp first for my DT880s, then fix my mobile situation, then add the DT990s.   As prices fluctuate on Beyers, should I just ignore it, stick to...

Hi all,   I'm a relatively a 'newby' concerning audiophile headphones. This week I got my hands on a Beyerdynamic DT880 (Premium 250 ohm), and I quite love them. However, I know that my USB Creative X-FI HD is not enough for this headphone ...

So, I just got the Beyer DT880's (250ohm) and a Fiio E17 amp, but I'm having a bit of an issue.   To get to a pretty loud and full (but not ear blasting) level, the Fiio has to be turned up to around 55 on 12db, but around there it starts to peak and distort slightly. When it is set to 6db...

This Headfonia round-up of the DT880, HD650 and K701;   http://www.headfonia.com/old-school-trio-akg-k701-beyer-dt880-sennheiser-hd650/3/   ...seems to suggest that the HD650 has a 'much weightier' bass presence than the DT880?   However, I currently own both, and cannot hear that...
