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

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...

was about to buy the 250 ohms pro ONE but I saw the 600ohms premium one.   What is the difference between 250ohm and 600 ohm one? Should that worth spending extra $150 to get premium one?   I'm using Asus xonar essence stx sound card /w built-in headphone amp that could take up to 600 ohms

Nowadays I'm looking for an amplifier for my cans, Beyerdynamic DT 990 premium 32ohm.   my budget is $400, and I don't care any type of amplifier whether it is portable or full-size.   I hope my new amplifier must have punchy bass sound quality.   If you guys have any idea or...

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...

I'm definitely going to purchase a pair of these, it's just a matter of which one to get. I'll be using these strictly for my desktop computer. The problem is, I only have an on-board soundcard. So there's no way it will be able to work the 600's or even 250's. However, I WILL be getting ASUS...

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.

Hi all,   I was cleaning up my room today and at the same time using a vacuum cleaner to swipe the external of left and right driver. Before that, it was still working properly. After using the vacuum cleaner, the left driver became softer than the right. I tested on the output of my tv and...

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...

Hi there,   I have dt990s (250) hooked up to e7/e9 double and at certain bass frequencies they rattle or distort in one driver (left one). I have them plugged via USB to my computer but the Line-out does the same. It also did it with this http://www.djstore.com/item/novnio24.htm.   I...

I've read some post here about the two products but I still have a few questions. I decided to go with the DT 990 premium 250 ohm because I heard they are great for gaming and also for music/movies. Being new to all this audio stuff i also learned that it needs an amp and a soundcard to function...

So I got this nifty FR chart and I'm wondering... which is better or rather which is has more accurate sound quality? Ultimatley I'd like one of these two, and I hoping for a neuatrual can with that would be good for most genres like Classical Jazz, Rock, Folk, Accoustic Rock and a little...
