I currently own the DT770 pro headphones. I was wanting to order a pair of open-backed headphones like the Superlux 668b or Takstar Hi2050. Would those headphones provide a different enough sound to be worthwhile? Or should I just stick with the DT770?

The title says most. I am wondering, what you would get, if you were me. The budget is around 350 dollars, and alternatively I can get my money back on my new dt-880, which would get me approximately 350 dollars extra.   I would really like a CIEM, but i am only 17, so i guess it would be...

Pretty straight forward, I have the AD700 now and use them at home on my PC for a combination of listening to music and watching movies/TV shows.  I like that they're open, comfortable and pretty good for a lot of the stuff I listen to with clean instrumentals and female vocals.  Eventually I...

So I'm looking into buying the beyerdynamic dt 880 premiums, 250 ohms. I also just ordered a fiio E10 for use with my current setup (laptop w/ ****ty sound card + vmoda m80. If I decide to upgrade to the dt 880s, will the fiio E10 amp/DAC be a good enough pairing for them or should I look into...

I ordered another pair of DT 880s after they sent me the wrong version. The one I got doesnt show an ohm on the plug how can I tell which one it is

I'm upgrading my Senn HD-580s (+ a venerable Oehlbachs cable) to HD-650s + a cable from Toxic Cables.   Currently I have an E-mu 0404 USB into a maxed-out PIMETA as my source + amp.  Wondering if I should consider upgrading the amp.  I'm into bang-for-the-buck, which I typically assume means...

Hi, buddies ! I need an AMP for both DT880 (250 ohms) and AKG K702 (62 ohms), source is SONY D50. I read that DT880 needs more voltage whereas K702 needs more current. Is it very hard to get just a single amp to feed both of them (to reach a good level of performace of these two headphones)...

I see a lot of good things about dt880s the 250 and 600 ohm. would it be a significant upgrade to buy a used dt880 over shure 840 I already own. I have an e10 amp

I'm a guitarist who uses a Kemper Profiling Amp to generate my sounds.  Without going into the technical details, it mimics the sound of guitar amps and FX, which I then send to a QSC K10 monitor for amplification when playing live with my band.  I've been using Shure SRH940 headphones when...

I'm sorry 'cause I made another thread earlier wondering about the AD700, but I've made a decision that I feel warrants a new thread of entirely different price range.  To summarize, I spend a lot of my time gaming, but I also really like music and listening to commentaries.  I'm using a Xonar...
