Hey all,   Newbie to these forums, but I've been lurking around here for the past 3-4 weeks reading anything and everything on higher end HPs/amps/dacs, etc.  My main priority is gaming (very serious into Counter Strike Source), but want a HP that will excel at music and movies too.  I tried...

Hey guys, I used to run a HD650 through a pro-ject audio headbox mk. II and was somewhat dissapointed with the anemic bass response resulting. Have since sold my HD650, now looking to get a HD600, but want to get an amp that will bring out its full bass potential. I'm guessing such an amp must...

So, about 6 months ago I got an iBasso D4 for my Denon D2000. I took it on a few trips, but lugging it around was more of a pain in the a** than I thought it would be. And not just the amp, but the headphones too. Anyways, thats a different story. Now, the amp hasn't been outside the house in...

Right now I got a pair of AD700's and DT770/80's going on, mainly using the DT770's for trance, and AD700's for metal and everything else.  I've been pondering selling both and just getting the DT880.  Would this be a good upgrade choice, or would there be no difference? (i.e do you consider it...

Hi everyone- could really use some help with my DT-880's (2003 250ohm).  I found a buzzing noise in the left driver on during the bass heavy parts of music this evening.  After looking through the knowledge base here, I figured my best shot was to remove the pads and look for hair or debris...

Budget: $200 (can stretch to $250, but that will mean I sacrifice an item for my PC I have my eyes on)     Debating between: Beyerdynamic DT880 (32 ohm vs 250 ohm) Sennheiser HD595 Sennheiser HD600 Sennheiser HD650 Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 Any other recommendations?    ...

Hi guys,   So I finally got my dt880s used from the forums and I'm looking for some songs to compare the differences.  To me, I'm still a noob, the differences are sorta minimal.  I can tell that the dt880s have slightly more bass and its a bit more open than the a900s.  That's about it.  ...

I plan to buy dt880 250ohm 05'. It seems 05 version is better for classic and jazz, and bigger soundstage. And Im not sure wether this version is avalible now...When I go to amazon, I only see two versions of dt 880 250: dt880 pro 250 and dt880 pre 250. Do anyone know which number below is...

After reading a couple comments about Beyers packaging errors, I've gotten a little paranoid as to which DT880s I might have.   I've tried looking a the plugs, around the headphones, but there doesn't seem to be any identifier as to which impedence version mine is. Or is the 250 ohm one not...

I don't understand why would you chose a high impedance headphone thats harder to drive than a lower impedance headphone thats easier to drive with or without an amp?

Just the other day, I ordered a pair of DT880 off ebay. The item was listed as the 250ohm version. However the version I received is the 32ohm one. I did a search on headfi, and found that people generally think that the 250ohm version is superior because of its less reliance on current...

I think a year ago or so I posted a thread about getting my first set of headphones but never purchased any as its overwhelming as there are so many options.  Also, I don't have much of anyway to test them out other than buying from amazon and then return them if they are not to my liking.  I'm...

Its around 180. Should I get it for my DT880s 250 ohms?    Anyone can help me out a little.... $180 can get me say the M50 and the AD700s, but would an improvement in sound worth the price for the amp?    Pretty simple question.... hopefully someone who has experience with amps can help...

I just got a pair of DT 880s (250 ohm) and I love them. But I don't have a very decent amp and the bass is a little anemic. I'm wondering if there are any physical mods I could perform on the 880s to boost the bass (I did the tac mod on my old Sen 280 pros, for instance, and the bass improved...

  Basically the question above.   I kinda want an amp but I don't have the money to pay for a lot. I've found a good deal on a iBasso P3+ but it doesnt have a DAC or anything. Would it be ok to hook it up with a 1/8 adapter from my computer into the amp (which is hooked up to the...

So after a lot of research and reading and asking around I bought the DT880s. Got a pretty good deal for them on amazon so if you're looking for a pair check it out. It was $208 for a day I believe (got lucky).    My situation is kind of special. I currently do not have an amp. I'm a college...

I am looking to buy a pair of gaming headphones for my nephew. I am completely out of my depth as I own only in ear monitors and open back headphones. Requirements are that the headphones are closed back, good 3D imaging for the games, price around $50 and DURABLE. My nephew will be 11 years...

I recently ordered a pair of dt880s(250ohm).  I read a review on them stating that with the STX they were the holy grail of gaming so I was dead set on getting this combo.  After I posted that I was buying them somebody messaged me and told me I should get a matrix mini amp instead of the STX as...

I'm considering buying a Nuforce Icon HDP to use with Iphone 4/Pure I-20 dock via optical. However, I have an old Corda HA-1 Mk2 that I haven't used in a while. Would a DAC in the $450 to $500 range paired with the Corda give me better results? Thanks!

Is it worth the purchase?    Sorry for bringing this topic up again, but I wanted to see a more recent perspective on the DT880s unamped.    After doing a lot (hours and hours and hours) of research I decided that the sound of the DT880s, and along with their build and comfort are...

  I am so close to ordering these headphones, but I wanted to see a more recent perspective on the DT880s unamped.    After doing a lot (hours and hours and hours) of research I decided that the sound of the DT880s, and along with their build and comfort are definitely for me. I like a...

Hi,   i would like to buy a new headphone included a compatible full-size amp and a audiophile source.   For the headphone i prefer the Beyerdynamic DT880 at the moment. But i have some problems in this case... There are different versions available. -DT880 Pro (250ohm) -DT880...

Hi Guys,   I have a gamma 1 dac and a mini3 amp high performance.  Will it be fine at powering dt880s 250 or 600?  I'm planning to grab a pair thats used on here to test them out.   I've read around that SS amps aren't that good for powering these and vacuum tubes should be used...
