Hello.    My music tastes are heavily centered around Classic Rock and Hard Rock. I'll just let my iTunes artists list do the talking...   -Allman Brothers -Avenged Sevenfold -The Beatles -Black Sabbath -Blink-182 -Blue Oyster Cult -Boston (<3 their debut album) -Bruce...

I've been trying to trade a pair of K702s for a 32 ohm pair of Beyer 880s because I have a weak amp and have read that the 880s are easier to drive ... so far no luck finding a trade for the 32 ohm variant--but I've also read that the 32s aren't all that easier to drive than the 260 ohm 880s ...

So I am really looking at buying some DT880s...I saw these on Amazon.com for ~$220, which is the lowest I've seen. Are these the ones I want?   http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F2BLTM?ie=UTF8&tag=buytheche-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000F2BLTM   Next...

in the last 3 months   DT-880 pro and dt-990 pro had been my gaming phones   since i got a hd600 , i used dt-880 pro way les for i sold it.. now i am still selling the dt-990 pro but should i ? how does the dt-990 pro compare to MD5000 and d5000 in gaming???( i paid for both of...

i think this is long over due. i searched but did not find a thread with this title. i really wonder why? these are way beyond underrated and they have been out for years. they are like a closet secret or something. i went and compared them in another thread to the ps1000 and that did not...

Hello, I have a Yamaha RX-V793 receiver. I have a set of Boss speakers for movies, and custom built speakers for music (both connected to the receiver). I also use Sony MDR-V600 headphones via the receiver's front headphone exit. My input is an ADI AD2000B sound card onboard an Asus P5Q...

I'm planning on keeping the SA5000, but will be replacing the Sennheisers in my collection because their sound signature isn't really to my liking.   I'd like something similar to the SA5000 in sound signature (fast, detailed, clear, somewhat bright) but more natural sounding. I'll be...

I'm a newbie to the world of audiophyllia and  I'll admit, my wallet has already started hurting. Please excuse my ignorance.   I've recently acquired Grado SR-60i because I had to hear what this "Grado" sound everyone always talks about. I've noticed I enjoy these headphones much more...

I'm searching about beyerdynamic DT880pro, which is very confusing   First confusion is that is the can closed or open? I will use it at dorm and my roommates might kick me if it leaks sound. Second confusion is that how many version it is? 32, 250 or 600? I have iBasso D4 and cannot...

Are these the sames as DT770/880/990, size and type?

  I’m a 20+ year DJ that remixes and edits tracks. I also make mixed CD’s, and am about to dive into the world of Ableton to add my own instrumentation. Some of my tracks are sold on a DJ web site to DJ’s that play in clubs. I need a pair of headphones in the $300 or less price range that will...

Is there any way I could tell a pair of DT880's impedance just by looking at it? Are there any special marking on the cans that indicates that? The reason I ask is, if I buy a used pair online and it doesn't come with a box, there is no way I could tell if I am really buying a pair 600ohm...

Are the differences between them *that* significant to warrant this course of action?   Or are they just very slightly smoother (the "it's night and day" claims being audiophile exaggeration)?

Hey, I am looking for a portable amp for my Bayerdynamic DT880. Unfortunately I don't know which Ohm I have, someone in a different forum suggested they might be 250Ohm as the sound on my ipod is too quiet for me... I would use the amp with the said headphones on my ipod classic 160gb.  ...

A big of a long read here so...   Some backstory. I was popping off the retainter ring on my 880s a while back, these are the 2005 pro models, anyway, so while doing this I manged to mangle the acousticly semi-transparent material in the grid that supports the driver on one of the sides. I...

Good day everyone,   What is the main difference between those three in terms of sound quality ? for example, you may buy a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 770 or DT 880 with any of these impedance.   I know that a 32ohms impedance could be used directly with an Ipod but you need an amp for the...

Hello again head-fi!   I'm wanting to hear back from people who may have heard both phones.  I would like to know how the bass is on the AD900 vs the DT880's.  I currently own the DT880's and I'm currently finding it hard to swallow the price tag of the AD900 without knowing what to expect...

I am getting some Beyerdynamic DT880's (250 ohm) and am wondering what would be the best amp for around $200, no more. Suggestions?

  Hi   Fellow-HeadFiers    For many years I have listened to music through my Sony headphones but after listening to a pair of Beyer headphones I found that while my Sony headphones were very good the Beyer's were better still, as naturally technology has moved on since those days then...

Hey guys. After careful consideration I settled on these headphones, now I'm wondering if my ancient Sony TA-313 amp will do them justice. While it says "low and high impedance headphones", this amp is at least 30 years old and my technical expertise is just enough to know not to lick cables...

Hi there, I have a major question The little dot mkIII has 4 gain settings. 10 gain is normally used for headphones with an impedance greater than 300ohms. But the beyerdynamic DT880 (05), are 250ohms. Which setting should I use? I find the 10 gain is a bit boomy, and the treble seems...

  Hi everybody, I start introducing myself cause It's the first time I post something in this forum. My name is Gabriel, I'm from Argentina and I'm about to buy  a new headset/headphone. I'm looking for a Gaming headset/headphone.   I want you to tell me the most durable...

before i came to head-fi i was using my dt-880 pro 250ohm mainly for playing first person shooter ( as the sound stage was great)   then i moved to a dt-880 600ohm( ofcause i use it more then just playing my games)   and now i just sold my DT-880 and paid for a T1 ( which should be...

Basically I'm getting an ASUS Xonar ST soundcard and I'm running my PS3 through it which accounts for my movies, music and obviously gaming too....however I cannot seem to decide which headphone to go for as I keep changing my mind and yet I have the same 3 or 4 headphones to decide from which...
