Hey all. Long time viewer of this forum, first time poster here (be gentle!)   My apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. I have spend a good hour on this forum looking for this answer, but seem not to have found it.   I have a Fiio E17. And I have recenlty bought the (very nice)...

Long time reader, first time poster here. I'm in the market for a new set of cans, and over the past month or so I have narrowed it down to the Beyer DT 770 Pro's (I think).  This is because of the following criteria: closed can little to no sound leakage comfortable enough to listen to for...

Hi everyone,   Somebody is offering me a pair of DT 880s for $70, that's a steal right. But it does have a problem of having noises (crackles?) at very high volume, what do you make of its quality. Should I go for it? I don't usually listen at very loud levels though, my metalhead days are...

Im sorry that im not posting this in the "buying headphones" section, but i find that section doesnt work well for me. I usually only get about one reply and no mix of advice :(. Sorry. Hello all! Im looking for a pair of headphones under $300, preferably open for better soundstage. I would like...

Hey guys,   I've spent the past year and a half or so enjoying listening to powered studio monitors and portable cans here and there and now I am seriously planning of returning to the full-size cans game.   At the moment, I have the Beyerdynamic T1 on my wishlist as I've been thoroughly...

I planning on moving up from my Fiio E9 to a better Headphone amp. I thought of 3 different ones but I cant make up my mind between them.   I mainly looking for a sound Neutral sound signature while having a big sound stage , while still having good clear Details. With a Tight controlled bass or...

I'm getting ready to buy a new integrated amp or a stereo receiver and I'd like to get one that will do a good job of driving my Beyer DT 880 (250 ohms) without having to buy a separate headphone amp.  I'm considering the NAD 326bee, the Cambridge 550A, the Marantz PM5004, and the Marantz...

Hello guys. I'm looking to upgrade from my first set of audiophile cans (Grado SR60i) and I'm not sure what to get. I like the sound of the Grados, but I don't have much to compare them to. While I want good accurate sound, I wouldn't mind if my new pair had a little more low-end punch than the...

Hi everyone. I'm brand-spanking-new to the whole audiophile/hifi/spending-money-on-headphones-and-amps-because-you-actually-value-the-sound-quality-of-the-music-you-listen-to/etc. hobby. I've been doing some research here and there, and finally settled on the Audio-Technica ATH-AD900...

Hello!   I've been using Sennheiser PC350 "gaming" headset for little bit over one year now and i want to buy new and better headphones but i'm not really sure what headphones would be good for me. I play games and listen a lot of music, mostly pop but some other genres as well. I was going...

Hi guys,   I was wondering if you could help me choose a headphone to show me detail on my music, to really show me what's in there, with no coloration. A headphone that I could compare a very well mastered track with another and make cirurgical adjustments specially on the bass and sub...

New to this forum, been lurking for quite some time now, trying to research into some headphones. I'd really appreciate some help with this :)   I'm a 17 year old student, I have a job and I'm saving up for a really, really good set of cans. I'm mainly going to use them to listen to music...

Hi all,   I am the happy owner of a set of Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's. (80Ohm version, in retrospect the 250Ohm probably would have been better, but you learn with time) I think they sound great, but lately I have had a little problem that bugs me.   I have been driving these out of the...

Hi guys,   I recently became interested in appreciating music as opposed to listening to my Ipod out of the default Apple earbuds.  I've done some reading but still have lots to learn, so please bear with me and pardon my silly questions.   I started out with the AT M-50s after reading...

I've been doing a lot of searching the forums and haven't found a a consensus on a portable headphone amp. I have the 250 ohm DT 880s and Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10.  I am looking  for a solid headphone amp for my Macbook Pro and that would work for my iPhone. I have heard a lot of mixed reviews...

I have the Beyerdynamic DT 880 pros (250ohms) and I'm having trouble deciding on which DAC/Amp would be best in the $200 price range. I have considered the Audinst HUD MX1, NFB-12, Yulong U100, and the Uber Muzik Tiny Tube.   I will be using these cans for everything from recording acoustic...

I need an amp that's under $190 to support the 250 ohm Beyerdynamic DT880. Any suggestions?

It all reads in the description. I basically want open or semi-open headphones wich would have a good synergy with the hdp(wich i havent infact bought yet).  My price range is up to 300€ wich values a little below 400usd.

           I am trying to buy a pair of headphones within a 200$ budget. I do not have the opportunity to listen to them before i buy them....              From the reviews i found on the internet i came to the conclusion that the AKG 272 HD would be right for me. But before i buy them, i...

I narrowed my choices between the Flio E9 amp and the Musical Fidelity V-Can amp. I will be using the Beyerdynamic DT 880 250ohm. Which amp is better? Any owners out there have these combinations? Thanks, 

I know there are a few scattered threads on the musical fidelity v can here but they seem to be a little all over the place and I was hoping to get some impressions and views.  The views seem pretty mixed.  The price has dropped recently to $119 which seems like a good deal.  I have the Beyer DT...

Edit:  D'oh!  Typo in the title but I can't seem to edit it.  It should be "How important is distortion *in* choosing headphones?"     Hi Folks,   I'm getting close to buying my first set of "real" headphones.  I'm coming from the speaker world where I've dabbled in designing...

I have got these DT880's that i have been sitting on in a non-working state for about 6 months now that have got a problem with the sound being greatly reduced and distorted on the right hand side, yet still resembling the music you are playing. Now I asked this about what the problem might be...

Hello Head-Fi'ers!   I am very new in the audio world and I want very much to learn a lot about it. I eventually want to have my own headphone setup to listen to music to at home and I really need everybody's help. Basically all I know is that I need a good pair of headphones, an amp, and a...
