Hi guys. Currently I own IE80 earphones from Sennheiser. The sound quality is amazing. However, I also want to get myself a headphones for home usage, and also for my computer sound card Essence STX. What could you recommend? Budget is $500 max.

Hi everyone!   I have my DT880 250 Ohm headphones plugged into my Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 Firewire soundcard and it sounds awesome right now, the volume is far more than enough for me at 40%.   Would a dedicated headphone amp make much of a difference for me? I'm sorry if this question...

A total noob here ;) Does anyone use Schiit Vali w/ Beyerdynamic DT880 250? I'd like to buy Vali so I can drive my DT880. If you currently have this combination can you share your thoughts/impressions? Thank you in advance.

Friends, HAPPY NEW YEAR !!   I have beyer's DY880 250 ohm HPs. I trying to get the best amp for it. I've researched a bit on the ones that are well reviewed.  Fostex HP-A4 (~$640), Maverick Audio D1 Plus, and some FiiOs. I've zeroed in on the Fostex's A4. Haven't checked out yet from...

I cannot find a headphone impedance specification anywhere for my AVR-e300 and was wondering if it would drive a pair of beyer 880 250 ohms.    

Background Story I Got my DT880/250ohm about a month ago and initially found it to trebly and weak in the bass. After burn-in I like it more and more everyday. I mainly use this to mix in the studio but also to listen to music at home more recently so I can burn them in more.    I've been...

Yeah, best title. Hi, everyone. I'm contemplating between those in the title.   DAC\Amp: This will be my first DAC\Amp. I've read good things about both. I'm leaning towards the Aune T1 because of the modularity of the tubes and the fact that I can just upgrade the Amp in the future and still...

I cannot find a headphone impedance specification anywhere for my AVR-e300 and was wondering if it would drive a pair of beyer 880 250 ohms.  

So I'm not going to pretend I know what I'm talking about, and just ask whether or not it'll be a worthwhile upgrade from an E10 to a MX-1 or even the new Geek Pulse.   I have DT 880 Pro's, M50's and Emotiva Airmotiv 4's. I know, they aren't super high end, but I will probably upgrade in the...

Hello Head-Fi!   I decided to buy the Beyerdynamic DT 880 Cans. I will be using them for my PC. The soundcard I have is the Asus Xonar Xense. I have been searching alot on the internet for answers on this, and with the things I've read it should drive 600ohm just fine. But I need some...

Hi guys.   Here's the deal. I bought a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880's about 6 months ago and I've not used them in about 4 months. I was looking for a pair of headphones that would allow me to hear the full spectrum of my music but at the same time be able to play loud without distortion. Now...

Hello,   Looking to pair my DT880's with a DAC for around $100. I am thinking of getting a tube amp to go with it. What would be my best option, the Schiit Modi?   Amps: Bottlehead Crack Schiit Vahalla

I have a pair of 250ohm dt880s and am looking for a new amp DAC. I've been using a fiio e10 which is working pretty well. But I tried my friends modi/magni and its noticeably a lot better than the fiio e10. I see people talking about the new vali and the o2/odac is also an option. Looking for...

1994 or so I bought my Sony MDR-CD570 that carried most of my headphone experience up to this day. What I liked most with these were the comfort. For hours upon hours I could listen without any fatigue on my ears or head. The sound quality was fair and today they have become unbalanced with...

I just recently got my iMod back.  I was speaking with Vinnie of Red Wine Audio and he stated he wasn't a fan of Fiio amps, and suggested I looked into the Ray Samuels Audio amps.  But I also wanted to get some opinions here before I do anything.   I purchased the E17 not too long ago.  Got it...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a pair of headphones to use with primarily classical music. The biggest thing I'm looking for is DETAIL. I want to be able to hear the bow sliding across the cello strings. I prefer a more neutral presentation with an airy top end, but I'm not too set on bass...

I listen to a lot of these genres and was wondering what my best bet would be. I have a budget of around $350 give or take. I'm considering the Sennheiser HD 600, HD 598, HD 650, Beyerdynamic DT880 (250 or 600), Audio Technica ATH-AD900, HiFiman HE-300 or the Sennheiser HD 650 if Amazon puts...

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a Dubstep/Hardstyle/Strong Bass on ear headset. I've been looking at Denon AH-D340, and brands like Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, Sony, Ultrasone or other Denon headsets. My budget is 160€ (1200 Kr.) - 270€ (2000 Kr.) Hope you guys find me something good!;) (Ps. I'm...

Hi, I'm thinking about buying the dt 770 pro 250ohm headphones hearing they are great for studio use and such. I will be getting them for at home everyday use for movies music and such and I don't know if they would be good for these things. I am coming from the  sennheiser pc 330's  and I need...

Yo everybody, I've spent the last few weeks reading hundreds of threads and countless opinions to find a good replacement for my PC360s (they have some problems that are driving me nuts). Firstly, my budget is €200 (I can exceed it, not by too much though) and, as I've written in the title...

Hopefully this is the right forum, and this shouldn't be posted in the headphones forum lol   Thanks to the recommendations from people on this site, I've had the Beyerdynamic DT880 Premium headphones for about a year and a half now. I use them primarily for gaming, and they are excellent...

Hi guys,   While I love my current HD428s, I am looking into buying a pair of open backed headphones.  I also would like to buy a (somewhat) portable amp to power them and my HD428s.  My top 3 options for my budget are the Grado SR60i's and SR 80i's or the Sennheiser HD 558's.  I mainly...

I am on a budget of about 200 to 300 dollars and need some most balanced and highest sound quality that can be worn for a long time. Thanks

So I own both of these headphones.  First I owned the DT440 which I adored.  The ball joints broke on both though after about 2 years.  I picked up some DT880 pro's not long after.  Today I resoldered the wires on the DT440 as they had separated earlier.  The headband still is broken but I was...

Hey Head-Fi'ers You see, I recently bought some Sony MDR 1R's that sound pretty darn good. If I had any complaints, they would be with the soundstage and comfort but overall they're some pretty good cans. Now I'm looking for something to complement them, so I've found some open cans that should...
