Hi guys,    after saving up some money after my birthday, christmas and other stuff, I am now again looking for new headphones. Therefore, i am looking for something like the DT1350 or an IEM.   Most time, i am listening to rock (Slayer, Metallica, but also Depeche Mode or ZZ Top), but...

Ive been on Head-fi for a while now and done a fair amount of research and reading. I am currently looking at purchasing a second pair of headphones around the intro audiophile price range. Ive looked up some of the classics recommendation and have contemplating the following with my current...

I recently woke up one day and I could swear I noticed distortion that was not previously there on some of my tracks, everything is lossless but I know that does not absolve the recording or the track of guilt when it comes to distortion, its just it seems that there is more on songs I did not...

Hello Head-Fi!   I'm very new, I started following this forum around a week ago in hope of learning about headphones until the day comes when I will buy one myself. Nevertheless, the day of choosing a headphone has come and I need your advice.   I can begin with introducing my musical...

I'm afraid to ask. How much more money will I lose if I want a better DT880? By that, I mean.. I want a more engaging sound. I found out that I love midrange (after listening to Paradigm speakers) and I'm not a basshead afterall (learned after hearing the SRH840's, ick, way too much bass). I...

Well, actually I bought two pairs of them from a guy who was clearing his inventory... :) I got a bit curious since there doesn't appear to be much info to be found on these. Makes me think they must be relatively rare because there are none to be found on ebay either.   They are supposedly...

Hi All,   First Post. I am a long time audio nut.  I have had the likes of Levinson, Classe, JM Lab and etc... for my 2 channel needs.  A few years ago, I settled in on my Revel Salon, Jeff Rowland, Transparent set-up and love it.  In that time, I found that having a wide/deep/accurate sound...

Hi guys,   So yeah, it's almost the new year. And with the new year comes a new job, and with a new job comes money to be spent on headphones!   Essentially what I'm looking for are a pair of full sized headphones for home use, so open or closed back is fine. In terms of sound signature...

I got a pair of Sennheiser HD 239s for Christmas and they were shorted out of the box! I placed an order for some AudioTech M50s in white and they shipped out Saturday at around 11 pm. They arrived in Ohio (2 states from me) over 12 hours ago. I think I should be receiving them tomorrow even...

I use my DT 880's a lot. Like in 3 years I've gone through 3 sets of the lush velour earpads. Enough that I wore out the headphone adjustment clickers. I tried to find replacement parts on their site but did not see that part listed, so I wrote an email to Beyerdynamic North America.   Mike...

A little back ground. I have the Senn HD650 and the Beyer DT880. Like the sound of the Beyer's more. They just sound a lot more clear.. However they lack low end for me. In any case both just didn't hit the mark for me. As it would stand I would look to get the T1 but the price is out of reach...

Hi,   I’m seeking some help and advice in choosing an upgrade to my Sennheiser 598’s. One problem I have is that there are hardly any specialist retailers near where I live ( Cornwall, UK ) so I’m mostly ‘flying blind’.   I am interested in a home setup ( I mostly listen to audio books on my...

Hi I bought Beyerdynamic dt-880 and Focusrite 2i2 because I need tools for music production. I'm beginner. Before I had Audio Technica SJ55 and Realtek 1150. When I tried DT 880 i heard: -bigger soundstage, all instruments were separate,contrast - many high frequencies ! I think a little bit...

Here's the full guide. Sadly I lost a couple pics that showed more info about routing wires but hopefully it's still useful for people. beyerdynamic DT880 Re-Cable Tools/Materials Soldering iron Multi-meter Appropriate wire(Mogami 2534 in my case) Appropriate termination(Canare F12 in...

Hi there,   had two questions for you guys.   1) I just bought Sennheiser HD598s (my 5th or 6th pair of headphones, I only keep one at a time though). I have a Cowon Z2. I have to have these at 45 (for loud music) or 50 (for quiet music) and it's actually still pretty quiet. Not quiet...

    I wanted to get some opinions on listening to lo-fi recordings, as well as recordings from the 60s and 70s, on headphones of this caliber. The general consensus of the LCD-3s seem to be: transparent, great bass response and impact, elite midrange, good (but not elite) soundstage. This type...

Hey, Long time lurker, first time poster!  A topic that has been covered hundreds of time, but please bare with me!   I've decided that I want to take the plunge into mid/hifi headphone listening.  I currently own a pair of Sennheiser IE6 and Sennheiser HD202, but recently I've been listening...

Like the title says I am new to higher end solutions for audio. I've always loved great quality sound especially in music and gaming which is my focus in this thread. I did try to look around to see if this question has been answered somewhere else but I just couldn't so forgive me if this has...

Looking to replace my Astro A40 headset and wanted to get an all around headphone. Will be using pretty much 50/50.  Also looking to pick up the Matrix m-stage and will be hooked up to my Titanium HD. Im currently leaning towards the DT880 but I have no idea how they will sound like, I've...

What would you guys consider a relaxing headphone? A DT880 relaxing? No? 

This card specifically:    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132010   I have it and desperately need a new pair of headphones with it. Looking for something that has a good price/performance ratio. I mostly game and listen to electronic music.   Also could...

Hi, I'm looking to buy a new set of headphones, with possible a DAC and amp if needed.  The problem is, I can't really try out too many types at local stores due to limited selection where I am.  The main place I'll be using them is off of my pc, which has a Xonar DG in it, and I also have...

My Dad brought me up to audio store today. They had these handcrafted in germany open air headphones German Maestro GMP 240. I was trying to find review but hadnt any luck to find any. Here is some flat review + specs.  ...

I have been buying a few new headphones recently as I want to upgrade from my K240's that I've used for mixing for about 10 years now. The new aquisitions consists of a pair of AKG K701, Sennheiser DT880 Pro 250 ohm and a pair of vintage Sennheiser HD540 Reference II. It has been a very...
