I've come full circle and went back to one of my very faves, the DT990/600. I've been long due for an upgrade from the E9 (the Lyr would be it, but I've already owned it and wanna see what SS options are out there). My budget is less than the Lyr's cost (less than $450), and I'd like the...

For I think 4-5 months ago I bought myselft a pair of DT990. And I was aware of them needing a AMP, and I coulndt get a better price for the Nuforce HDP i came over. I didnt know though that It wasent the best match mixing HDP/ICON with DT990, but I took an advice from here and turned 8khz down...

Hi,   I'm about to purchase a DT990/600, the order is placed already. After much browsing through the forums, I tried to find the perfect amp and dac for it. However, I was unable to find that one amp that would drive these phones. I actually found a list of amps, but without any...

Hi, this pair of headphones will be my first pair of headphones, high/low end regardless. i have been listening to iems all this while and thought of having a go at headphones. i am totally new in this area and therefore require some help or advice. I have read from other threads that i would...

Hello guys.    Could any Beyerdynamic headphone owners that listen to Hip-Hop, electronic music (dubstep, drum and bass, progressive) or game with their headphones please help me out?    I want to buy a new pair of headphones so I've decided to try out Beyer's offerings. I'm currently...

  Hi,   I’m new to the forum and but have been searching the forum about some shortlisted head phones, if you could offer your advice please?     In Short: Have HD570 need new & better ones. Tried ADH-2000. No presence, a bit shrilly, no bass kick and too much sub-bass depth for...

I am looking to pair a dt990/600 with an astro mixamp. Use it for games and movies mostly. So with the post processing done I see spending 350 or so to be overkill since the souce sound quality wont be great. So mo sacd or any othe audiophile grade source. Looking to spend about 150 250 max...

Good morning,   I'm new to the sound scene and was hoping to get some advice so i dont blow my money on junk. Right now i'm looking at getting the Beyer Dynamic DT990 premium 600ohm Headphones with a Fiio E9 amp.   Do i need a good soundcard to make use of these? I was thinking about...

Hello,   This is a sort-of long post, there's a tl;dr version at the bottom if you don't wanna browse through my rambling ;d   So I heard most people here at Head-fi pairs their Dt990 with an OTL tube amp (Dv336se, Crack, G3, WA2/3 ...etc). Most of the impression from my extensive...

Hello Head-Fi!   I currently have been using my Sennheiser HD-598's for a while now and last night decided to purchase the Beyerdynamic DT990/600 Ohm model. I have now read about various amplifiers for hours and seem (almost) just as lost as before and I thought I may be able to get some...

AppleTV -> LiTe Audio DAC AH -> Schiit Valhalla -> Beyerdynamic DT990 600Ohm   This is the setup I'm looking at building out.  I already have the ATV and LiTe DAC.  I'm about to pull the trigger on the Schiit and Beyers.  I listen to mainly pop, pop/rock, folk rock (think Warren Zevon) and...

Hi I currently own a Beyerdynamic DT990 600ohm and an Ultrasone H-Fi 780. I realize that portable amps are not really suitable for the Beyerdynamic DT990 600ohm however I am going to be traveling for a couple weeks during the holidays and want some good sound while I am not at home with my Woo...

Whats a good relatively affordable tube amp that will effectively drive these three? I know the d2000 is low impedance, so I'm not sure that there is a tube amp versatile enought to drive them all. I like a wrmer sound, hence the tubes. Will the Bottlehead Crack drive all of them? What other...

I have been using ATH-M40S. I pretty much decided to upgrade the DT 990 600 Ohm version. I have a Audio DJ 4 from Native Instruments, which i use for my sound card. It has a headphone output with a volume control. Works great with my ATH-M40 because the ohms are low "60 ohms". Is the Audio 4...

Hello everyone on head-fi. I currently have the e9+e17 setup from fiio with my dt990 600. While i love this combo i find that the highs can be a tad bit sharp sometimes. Based on searching the forums i found that the MKIII would be a good match however the MKIII would not be within my budget so...

Does anyone else have these headphones. I read around and everywhere people are saying that the treble is pretty bright but doesn't venture into sibilance. Well I just bought them and WOW they are VERY VERY sibilant to my ears.   People from this topic...

I'm looking to get one of these and will be auditioning them (if they are available) before getting them.   Now the problem comes with the DT990 since it comes in the 32Ω, 250Ω and 600Ω version. I don't have an amp yet nor can I borrow one but I do plan to get the Fiio E10 once I do...

I know that you can buy the exact replacements for the DT990 but I'm a cheapskate. Is there any difference between the stock pads and the ones for the DT250 that a lot of people have been using for the Htf-600?

I am looking into investing some money into one of those for electronic music (dubstep, house, electro house etc..) Which one do you guys like, and think I will like based on my music? Also which amps would work well with them, because I am going to buy an amp for whichever ones I buy unless I...

I currently have the HD555's and love them BUT I feel like they are lacking in the mids and the highs.      I really wish I could try both out and pick one but since that's not possible which one should I go with?    I listen all types of music from hip hop to classical. I might use...

Okay guys I am settling on three headphones. The Beyerdynamic DT 880 250 ohm, the Ultrasone Pro 750, the Ultrasone HFI 2400 and the Beyerdynamic DT990 32 ohm (there must be an amazing reason to spend more money on these.) Which is the best? I don't care if my headphones are open or closed. I...

Hi, im starting this thread as I have the DT990's 600 ohm and am planing to get the Q701's very soon. I was planing to get the little dot mk3 or 4 for my beyers but now the AKG's are in the picture i dont know what to get. it will be my first decent amp as i only have a ibasso d2. I am thinking...

Hi,   I've had an old set of DT990 headphones donated to me and since they still sound pretty good I thought about replacing the pads and a few other spares. They could do with new foam inserts to conver the drivers and the headband too.   The current headband is still functional but...

So I was looking for a portable amp that might be able to stand a chance against powering a pair of 600 ohm headphones. From what I gathered ,although intimidating at first, dt 990s are not as hard to drive as one might expect. Well, the amp I was using at the time, the fiio e11, would do a...

Deciding to go up in the AH-D5000 seem like a good way to go. Also considering DT990.   I'm a bit scared after trying the hd518 to go with the sennheisers 598, 558 or the 600, 650 I like punch to the sound 'impact'.   the AKG 702's are a bit lean on bass apparently...Any other...
