I'm in the market for a good set of cans for my project studio.   I have been reading on these cans, their siblings, and their predecessors for the past week. I've learned alot about the similarities and differences, read review after review after review, and have come away with the...

I narrowed down my choices to these 2 headphones for all use purposes.  I will use them for gaming (e.g. Diablo 3 and maybe some FPS), music, and movies.  I am not picky with music and listen to classical, country, rock, hip hop etc.  Bass and vocals are pretty important to me.    It was...

Would it be worth it saving up 100$ for the Hifiman HE400? Or is the Hifiman not that much better than the Beyer DT990?

Hey guys, I have some money to spare, so I want to have a good portable audio setup for once. I was looking around and heard good things about the DT900 600 OHM model and it's within my budget. I however need a portable amp that can power them decently. I was considering the E7, but I'm new to...

did very little listening but the m390 despite the big difference in price seems to match or at least comes close to the dt990 in performance. so are my ears bad or is the m390 just a very good deal? 

Hey all,   I just got the DT990 Pros and have a couple of issues with them.   They squeeze my head a bit. And they get my ear super hot. Would these symptoms be the same with the HD595's or are they more comfortable? Hows the sound compare?   edit : I hope this isn't a dumb question...

Hey! This is my first post here and I thought this would be the best place to get some opinions about my dilemma. I'm getting into the headphones realm and the more I read, the more I want. I have to say that I´ve tried several Sony headphones and earphones and some Bose as well, but after...

I've had a Woo Audio 3 (WA3) in the past to power these bad boys but the output volume was never quite enough. I'd crank up the volume all the way and it would barely be loud enough.    I listen to a lot of music with bass, mostly rap/hiphop and dance/trance.   Does anybody have...

After owning the D2000 since christmas, I'm debating whether I should shell out some dough for a set of comparable cans. I love the Denons to death, but the hot treble can be fatiguing sometimes. I've been eyeing the HD25's for a while, and they seem like a great supplement to my collection...

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I hope you can help me. (oh and sorry for my bad english) I'm researching since 2 weeks on Head-Fi, Headphone.com and many others, and I finally fixed my choice on this 4 product but i can't make the final choice.   Sennheiser HD 518 = 102€ (127$) Beyer...

Hi guys I'm a new member here (I've actually been through head-fi.org for a while, but I've just registered ^^). I now have Beyerdynamic dt880 600ohm with O2 amp. I feel that they are too flat for me. I mostly listen to Symphonic Rock/Metal, Movie OST songs ,and fir Movies/PS3 gaming. So I've...

Hello All,   I just received my Beyerdynamic DT990/600 Ohm headphones and have it paired with the Fiio E17.  It sounds really good but I was wondering if it was worth the upgrade to a tube amp <$200.  My budget is really tight at the moment.  I would like a WA3 or MKIV but not happening at...

Due to my current situation, I am in need of a second headphone because of a couple of issues I am having. I currently own an ultrasone signature pro which is closed, so I want this one to be open since I've never really owned an open headphone before. I did a bunch of tests with EQ to see what...

Would the MX1 in 600 ohm mode be able to adequately power the Beyer DT990 Premium 600 ohms? Also, where is the jumper on/in the MX1? Cheers, csm

Hi, I have the DT990 600 ohm version and DT1350, and am curious how the T1 sounds in comparison. Does anybody have all three? Thanks! Peter  

Hi all. Recently just bought the Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250ohm headphones and am really enjoying having a good pair of headphones to compliment my studio monitors. I am going to using them for some production in the future so I was hoping to use some subtractive EQ to tame the  "V-shaped"...

I have a pair of Dt990 600Ohms on the way, but my finger is itchy and I want to order a pair of T90s also and just keep one.   Amazon has them for $650, is that a fair price for T90s?   Also, can the good old Fiio E9 properly power a T90? If not what amp for them thats under $300?  ...

Hey everyone! I'm trying to buy some new headphones and was hoping you could help me out with a few questions   -Budget : around the 300$ range (for headphones, amps on a seperate budget) -musical preference: mostly Dub/House/Trance/Progressive electronic music also looking for rock/blues...

Hey, I just ordered some Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO 250 ohms, and I'm wondering how well they will go without any amp. I'm pretty new to this higher end audio stuff if you can't tell... So am I okay without an amp for these headphones? And how much difference would an amp make (for someone who...

Hello everyone,   After my gaming headset broke, I found this site have been on this forum extensively for the past couple weeks.  I knew nothing about sound before coming here and now I know only enough to be dangerous.   My use is 70% gaming and 30% listening to music and watching...

Hello Everyone,   So I've decided to finally get myself a pair of decent headphones! After reading a lot of reviews, it seems like the DT990s are the one for me. It'll mostly be used for long gaming sessions and movies so comfort is a big issue. I've had a pair of Shure SRH440s in the past...

Hello Head-Fi, I just purchased a pair of DT990 Pros and an Objective2 from JDS Labs. (I'm using a UCA-202 DAC). The sound isn't very smooth, I hear hiss and there is distortion, I'm using the lower gain option. If it matters, I'm listening to all FLAC. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Simple enough, would you say that the DT 880 PRO would be a good recommendation as someone who loved the DT 990 PRO ?    I've heard people say it sounds same but less bass, but I've also heard people say it sounds quite a bit different after all it is a different headphone entirely.   ...

Before responding to this thread, please refer to the subsequent updates made by me. There could be a few changes here and there which make all the difference.   I am now at the crossroads of upgrading in the hierarchy of headphone audiophila. But I have a lingering thought in mind that is...

Hi   First post. It's going to be a doozy:   How do I power my dt990 250 to its full potential? What do I need? I hear a lot about this amp and DAC stuff, but I have no idea what you people are talking about. What do you recommend I buy that I can use to power these things well. I am a...
