Help! The Beyer DT880 250 ohms are my first high impedance cans (the others being Grado SR325iS, AKG K550, ATH-M50, AD700 etc). Using my iMac as a source, I find that my desktop amps (Fiio E10, Audioengine D1) have to be turned to maximum volume to reach a listening level of about 1/2 to 3/4 of...

Hi guys, I bought a Sennheiser HD600 today on impulse, just after getting a Beyer DT880 250 ohms a week ago. This adds to my collection of Grado SR325iS, ATH-M50, ATH-AD700, AKG K550, etc. My music is predominantly rock, Blues, R&B and are usually from my iMac in Lossless and 320. I have an...

Hi everyone,   After reading some posts on Beyerdynamic DT880 vs 990 vs 770, I am leaning toward buying a Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro (250 ohms) headphone for my upgraded PC equipped with an Asus Xonar D1T soundcard.   I am really new to the high end audio stuff... my past headphone was a...

I got this set to use with a Line6 POD HD guitar amplifier modeler, because its spec sheet says to use headphones with a 150-600 ohm impedance.   Up until now i've been using the Grado SR80 (32 ohm), and the Senn HD280 Pro (64 ohm).   I've noticed a problem with the high notes when...

Hello again I'm sorry for starting a new thread but after reading the comments on my last thread my opinions changed big time so as I said before I'm about to buy a new pair of cans, my first pair of full sized headsets actually,so these are the cans that I found fitting my needs ...

Hello, I use an Audio-gd NFB-12 as my dac and amp, and until recently used the Beyerdynamic DT880 Premium 600 ohm.  Before those I used the Sennheiser HD485s.   After about 6 months, I've recently sold the DT880s as I came to the conclusion that the sound was not to my tastes.  I've always...

   Totally overwhelmed by the choices and decisions I'm facing as I consider buying a new pair of headphones and potentially an amp or dac/amp combined.   I have once owned a pair of HD650s and a Rega Ear amp years ago. It was a nice setup though they always sounded a little dark/far-away...

Hi guys!   I'd just like some closure on what headphones to end up buying. My current headphones are closed Shure SRH440s and while they were a great upgrade at the time I think I'm ready to step it up and get more serious about my audio   I've narrowed it down to the HE-400s and DT880s...

Hey guys,   Just a quick question regarding the DT880's and how much power they need (specifically for the 600 ohm version).   My current DAC is the Focusrite Saffire 6 USB which has the following specs on the headphone output:     Headphone Outputs Frequency Response: 20Hz-20KHz...

My apologies if this is a noobish question but why are the dt880s more expensive than both the dt770s and the dt990s.  Maybe I am making a mistake in assuming that cost is correlated with the model number but I would have thought that the dt990s would be the most expensive out of the three.

Ok so I have a quandary for you to ponder. The basics are this; I have a pair of ath m50 that need repair (broken cable and such). Subsequently I have decided to get a new set of headphones, an upgrade of some type. I edit and mix for films, sometimes professionally sometimes not. I love alt...

Hey gang!   I'm one of these sensitive head chaps and find that many 'phones irritate the top of my head after a short time. I know that are headband replacements for the Beyerdynamic DT 770/880/990 Pro line, but those don't fit the Premium versions.   Does anyone know of a comfy...

I've had my DT880 pros (with a Fiio e6) for several months now, and I've recently noticed a very quiet but very noticeable ringing noise. At first I thought it was just my ears, but when I lifted up one cup off my ear, I could hear the ringing in the other ear but not that one. It seems to go...
