I have these 3 and I'm still not satisfied.   Don't get me wrong, they are each wonderful headphones.   Overall the sound of the ATH-AD700's pleases me the most as long as I use a 12dB 60hz boost.  The sound has good impact, depth, soundstage, airiness, clarity, very fun sounding, but...

Okay - I'm a noob.. I had no idea you got amp head phones. But, I love music and I love car audio. I'm a huge audiophile but I need my headphones to be portable. I need to hear on the airplane to and from Seattle (where I will attend college next year), in the bus, on the train. I have searched...

Hello everyone, -I just received my brand new Dt990 (from reputable website) today and they had these strange horn looking bumps on the headband.  It looks like there is something "popping" out of the band.  Is this normal? The headband does not have a smooth curve. -Also, is the yoke on the...

  This DT990 32ohm in my opinion is Beyer's most versatile and dynamic headphone they have ever produced. It can be used as a portable phone if you wish, with it's low impedance design and super-comfortable structure. My source is a T-Mobile G2 (Android 2.2) running Poweramp as my music...

Currently have the Fiio combo, looking to upgrade over the summer and I've so far decided I'll be going with a WA3, but I can't seem to figure out what DAC will work well for a reasonable price within my setup.   I'm looking for a DAC that falls in with my DT990's and a WA3 that has USB...

I'm looking for a bright/semi-bright full sized or over-ear headphone, with large soundstage, decent instrument separation, detailed, with good bass, that doesn't overlay the sparkle of treble. They can be open or closed, I just want the best sound for my budget. I'm not at all a bass head, but...

I just picked up a 600 ohm vintage pair of DT990 at an estate sale...... for $8. I brought them home and I am not thrilled with the sound. I will figure that part out on my own with some new wires and pads but I want to completely break them down, clean them, and add some flare. I got the...

Hello Head-fi,   First of all i have to appologize for making a recommendation thread, I Promess to contribute when i receive my headphone by making a review and other contribution will follow when i get ideas.   I will first state that i am exited to leap into the higher end audio but i...

Hi everyone! I've had the Grado sr325i's for a while now, and I love them. Now, though, I want to get the Beyerdynamic DT990 600 Ohms because I enjoy their deep bass and good treble (at least to me - sharp treble doesn't bother me in the slightest) and I after researching, I found that generally...

  Well, I've hit just over three hours listening to the HD650's now (three hours total burn in).  I guess its time to start typing up this comparison.  As I type this, I'm going to be actively listening to both the DT990 (250ohm) and then compare how the HD650's sound, so it will best capture...

Can anyone detail the differences of these three headphones? i am looking to buy one.   if there is already a thread for this i apologize and would appreciate it if someone could redirect me

I've been looking closely at buying a beyerdynamic dt990 or 880 for quite some time now. Since I haven't owned open phones before, I've settled on the 990. I've made the decision that every head-fier inevitably makes: time to pull the trigger and splurge. Only problem is, the 600 ohm is...

hi all. newbie here. considering upgrading from my ad700s to beyer dt990/600s (I really like large soundstages and open headphones).   my problem is that i'm not sure where to go after i've made that decision. it seems like an amp is required to power the dt990/600s, but am i then required...

I noticed some channel imbalance in my 990's and decided to disassemble the drivers to see if there was anything wrong. Noticed there was quite a bit of hair in there and started plucking that out but the more layers I removed there was always yet more hair. After a while of dicking around I put...

hmm i cant decide between ld mk2 vs mk3 does the mk3 have big advantages over the mk2? i use my dt990 mostly for gaming

Here's the thing... lately I'm becoming more and more curious about the Beyers, their sound signature, so I'm thinking in getting either the DT 770 (Pro or 2005) or the DT 990 (I prefer closed cans, but if the SQ of the 990 is much more superior than the SQ of the 770, I have no problem getting...

Hi all,   I'm looking for something to complement my AD700s for areas that they just aren't as adept at.  The AD700s seem great for classical and acoustic, but get into heavier rock or try to watch a movie, and they just don't seem to keep up.  I was originally set to buy the DT990s, but was...

I want to know how big my head is by comparing it with others. I have my DTs set to the 4th notch (the 4th dot/circle) on both sides. Take the poll! You can see how big your head is.         Ram (Rom)

Hello, i'm wondering if i can get some kind of studio mixer which can amplify 600 ohm headphones as well as providing an xlr slot driving 48v phantom power for a microphone   i did some research and found the type of thing i'm looking for:     mackie 402-VLZ3    but this is not...

So this is my first post here on Head-Fi, but I have been a lurker for quite some time now. Anyways, about two months ago I took a plunge and bought my first "serious" setup, which consisted of the Beyerdynamic DT 990 600 ohm version and an Audinst HUD-MX1.    Thus far, I have been happy...

I just put on my dt990s and started listening to music and I realized that the drivers aren't balanced any more.  The right one is about 30% more powerful than the left.  It seems like the highs are affected more. I plugged in my dt880's and those played fine, so its not my source or amp.  Any...

Hey everyone! It's that time again, the time when I'm looking for a new pair of headphones! So far, I'm kind of stuck on Beyerdynamic DT-990, or the Hifi-Man HE-300. I've heard lots of good things about the He-300's, and that I wouldn't necessarily need an amp for them to use with my...

Ok guys, I need help quite quickly (until tomorrow lol).   I planned on buying the DT770 (250) headphones, but as I walked into my local store and asked the salesman to order them for me , he offered me the DT990  32 ohm version that he had on the shelf.   He said that 990 are better...

So my brother asked me to get him good headphones(very roughly around 100euro category) So I suggested the dt990 Pros. After discarding AKGs for their looks and apperently mediocre comfort, sennheisers because I wanted something different than sennheiser for once and all the rest because of...

I'm new to full size headphones and am waiting to receive my DT 990 premium 250 ohm. I currently have a total bithead which i use with my IE-8 with the low/high gain switch but from listening to people with far more knowledge tham me this won't be adequate to drive the beyers. So i'm basically...
