Hello everyone,   I've been reading this forum for years, and it has been tremendously helpful.  I decided to take a leap of faith and enter the audiophile world. I've just ordered a DT 880 600Ω as well as a LD MKIV SE. This should keep me busy for a while. I'm still missing a DAC, but...

Hi,   just wondering if, from your experience, the jack from an integrated amp with 220ohm output impedance would drive these fine.   Thanks

Hello,   I'm currently set on buying a pair of DT-880 600Ω, but would like to hear if anyone has suggestions for alternatives. I was looking at Ultrasone Pro 900s and K702s, but came to the conclusion that K702 doesn't fit my liking for electronic music. The Pro 900s seems great for...

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to the audiophile scene.  I'm looking to get my first pair of nice headphones! I've been searching around for quite a while now, and after testing out some DT880 250 ohms, I found their comfort combined with their excellent sound to be just what I think I'm looking...

I have soldering experience but never trimmed a cable before, was just curious what i would need to know.  How do i tell which wire is audio left and right?  What about the ground wire, are the ground wires on the dt880 grounded at the plug end, or the headphone can end? ( Does it need to be...

So I came across an add one Craigslist of a brand new pair of DT 880s for $250. I've been wanting to try a pair of Beyers, and I'm pretty sure they're legit. I just want to know what year/model they are. They are not the newest ones, I know that much. They have a flat grill rather than a rounded...

I currently run a Xonar Essence STX with some dt880/600's via the headphone out.  I feel the upgrade itch and am ready to make my next move.     I have been drooling over a Woo Audio 3 for quite some time, and am considering it.    However, I realized I have yet to dink around with the...

After reading quite a bit on these forums, I finally decided to purchase Beyerdynamic HD880/600ohm with a woo audio 3 amplifier. I have my source connected to a fireaudio spitfire DAC, which then feeds the WA3. I just hooked up the amp today. The problem is, I get almost no sound out of the...

Hello everyone! How are you guys doing?   I'm a total noob at the whole headphone business, so I come here to ask for your help! I recently purchased(yesterday) a DT880 250 ohm and now I want the 600 ohm, cant' return it as I threw away the box because it wouldn't fit in my backpack(I have a...

...hallo i would to change the original cushions, very very comfortable, with a leather pair. do i have to aspect some improvement? and what's about the comfortably? thanks have a good weekend!

First off, I'm incredibly new to amps. It's almost overwhelming trying to digest everything, so try to take it easy on me.   Anyway, I was originally going to grab an Asus Xonar STX to power my Beyerdynamic DT880 - 600 ohm headphones and Swan M200MkIII speakers. The speakers are probably a...

A little while ago I was fortunate enough to receive a 2 month review model of a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro (250 ohm) headphones to review next to my AKG K701. Both are fantastic mid level headphones that many head-fier's find themselves going back and forth on which to purchase. This review...

Hi,   I've had this setup for a few days now and I'm really enjoying it. I've decided to play around with the gain switches and found some subtle, yet audible, differences. In particular I find the result using setting 5 awesome. It really gives a soul to these headphones, while I found the...

I had purchased this over a year ago.  Even though I no longer own it I want to chime in on perhaps one of the best headphones you can get.  I've craved more bass, so my journey for the headphone that strikes me solid continues.  Nevertheless, the DT880 600ohm has grand comfort, grand sound, and...

So, I posted last month trying to figure out what amp I should get for my dt880 250ohm.... I was looking at RSA portables...   I've come to the conclusion I'm going to buy the Beyerdynamic A1 and get a portable later. It seems to me to be the best most "neutral" response that caters to me...

  I have been changing my gear up a bit and decided to compare the (1) AKG k702; (2) Beyerdynamic DT880 (600); and the Shure SHR840 on a set-up that consists of: PC - Udac2 - Burson HA-160.  In respect of burn in all the gear has at least a couple hundred (or more) hours on it.  I have doing...

Hi all, I have been browsing through this forum for a few days now searching for reviews of beyerdynamic dt880 250 ohm headphones(cought my eye while browsing for headphones on internet).Found plenty of reviews,they seem like quality headphones and I am close to ordering them from "moon-audio"...

      Hi guys,   I'm thinking of picking up a DT880/600 soon, and as of now I don't have any amps/source components (other than my Macbook Pro).  I've heard that the LD MKIII is a good choice for these phones, but my max budget is $200, so I wouldn't be able to afford a DAC if I...

Hi Guys,   So I've been looking for a tube amp around this price range.  The source is a DIY amb gamma 1.   I've read that little dot mk3 is a good overall amp but I've read around that some people don't think it pairs well with a dt880.   Are there any other suggestions in this...

Which of these has more bass?   You hear of both of them being bass light yet I find my DT880 to have as much bass as my HD650. How does the K701 compare?

Hello Head-fi,   First of all i have to appologize for making a recommendation thread, I Promess to contribute when i receive my headphone by making a review and other contribution will follow when i get ideas.   I will first state that i am exited to leap into the higher end audio but i...

Hi friends,   I love the nice sound of my (now almost a year) well burned-in 880s. What amplifier could be the finest step forward from Darkvoice 3322 for Beyer DT-880 (potential gain is expected presumably in the area of pace and rhythm, as well as in slightly stronger bass). I have the...

While recabling my new dt880s, I managed to ruin one of the cloth pieces that goes into the back of the driver housing while using a heat gun on some heat shrink tubing.  Although the headphones still sound good without this cloth in the back I am wondering if anyone knows whether it is a...

Pretty staightforward. Looking for a decent quality amp to drive these headphones for under 250$.   On a side note, I don't have an audio interface w/ soundcard yet either, would it be worth getting one or would the sound quality be pretty much the same if I used only the amp and my Mac...
