Is this a good choice for these headphones? I'm hoping this DAC/Amp combo is a step up from something like the FiiO E17. I like that I can pick out different tubes to influence the sound.

Hi all, I've been struggling to make the jump into the semi-serious audio world for awhile now and, as seems pretty common, have gotten lost along the way. While googling, I was very impressed by the feedback and quality of this forum though, so hi and thanks for any and all help!  ...

http://www.amazon.com/Koss-Pro4S-Studio-Headphones-Silver/dp/B00MCVOT48/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top   I just read the initial review here from ODDEEO and I'm eager to hear the follow up.

Herro headfi, newcomer here! I'm looking for my first pair of high-end studio headphones to use for a little bit of everything (gaming, music, movies). Gaming is my first priority, but I play RPG oriented games so I don't need extreme pinpoint accuracy. Instead, I'm looking for something that is...

Hello, Recently purchased an AKG K601 and am really enjoying it. The point of this post is that I am tossing around the idea of a getting a closed can to add to my repertoire.  I have done some looking around and searching on the forums, but most of what I found were older threads, and since I...

Hello all! While i already have a pair of DT990's, I'm on a tight budget right now for a portable canalphone or clip on.   I personally like deep, extended, bass with lots of impact. For reference, i find the DT990's treble a bit too sharp.   Thanks all!    

Hello, I have been very interested in buying an audio setup for the past while. I have about $500 to spend. After doing some research I will be buying the Fiio E7/E9 combo. I was wondering if I was to run my audio through my PC would I need a sound card with those two acting as an amp? I have...

I've seen the blue model 32ohm floating around here, but cant find any resellers or even ebay listings who have them! Were they a special release or something?  WHERE CAN I GET ONE

I recently upgraded from a pair of DT990/600's to the Sennheiser HD650's and while just about everything massively improved with the upgrade, the one thing I miss about the DT990's is the massive soundstage, it made it feel as if the music was all around me.  I could sink into the music and it...

I am concerned about hearing damage-Do you think that on the bus i will have to crank up the volume into dangerous levels? I really like open headphones

HI all,   I'm slowly putting a head-fi system together...probably over the next year or so, since my next big purchase will be a new gaming computer, so that my old computer can go back next to my hi-fi where it belongs.   But Intel pulled all the systems off the market so I moved on to...

Hey there,   I've had the DT990 Pro 250 ohm for a couple of months now, and I just recently got the udac-2 dac/amp, and I think that it sounds great. I love the great bass and the bright highs, it really makes the music come alive.   After getting the udac-2, I've been bitten by the...

man i kinda gave up trying to buy fa-003 but i dun wanna buy a headphone thats a downgrade from it either... just a last opinion about whats a good alternative or saome what better for you or even what is on par against it? thanks a lot!! =)   Edit:im thinking beyerdynamic phones but not...

I have a wierd crackling sound in the left side of my dt-770pro headphones. I still have a warranty on the headphones but i'd prefer if it was something I could fix myself. I recognize this sound before from when a) I have too much volume/bass b) I have a hair or similar on the drivers in my...

So I have the HD600, HD650, DT770 250ohm, and the Sextetts are on their way. I will probably end up selling or trading either the 600 or the 650 at some point.   Because I am building a Crack amp which is best paired with 100ohm or higher headphones, I'm trying to figure out what I may like...

Just yesterday, I was thinking that the 990 are really headphones that you should never sell because you'd eventually end up regretting it... On some albums they can sound extremely good. Great for classical, voices (ex; chorals), etc, can sound remarkably good, and many reviews are all...

The 'Underrated Headphones' thread uncovered a few DT440 fans, and I'm sure there are others out there.   First up - full disclosure : I sold mine a few months back in a fit of madness, along with most of my kit. I have regretted selling them and the K501 ever since. Even though I was able...

  

Basically, I have the K702s and love many things they do, especially their soundstage, but I am looking for some headphones that are more universal in their ability to play varying genres well. My eyes have fallen up the Beyer DT990 Pros or just the DT990s.   Anyone out there have any advice...

Hey,   I am looking for a set of headphones to rock out at work with and I have a SS amp there (Music Fidelity X-Can V8).  I can barely drive the Beyers (DT990 600 ohm)  and find myself at 3/4 or so volume when I'm enjoying them.   I am a big fan of the in your face fun sound they have...

Long-time lurker, first-time registrant/poster here. I've a pair of Sennheiser HD280-Pros that I am very happy with SQ-wise. I am growing increasingly frustrated with the comfort level, or rather, the lack of comfort I experience wearing these for extended periods. I find that they clamp my...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a new pair of headphones, this will be my first entry into high quality headphones and audio in general.   Budget: $100-$150   Closed back, decent soundstage, does everything at least OK (Mids, high, lows, bass, etc), great sound, easy to drive but can...

Hello everyone,   I've read this forum for a while and see here a lot of knowledgeable people willing to help so I'd like to ask you for advice.   I'd like to spend about $250 (maybe a little more if that would make a noticeable difference) but don't know if I should buy just headphones...

Hi first time poster long time reader. So this site directed me to buy both the Beyerdynamic DT 990 pro and the fiio e17. Problem is first set of beyers the left channel had extreme rattle. Returned them got a new pair and now this pair does the same thing except in the right ear/channel...

I first heard about these pads in this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=248311 Here is a pic on some Darths: Anyway, that thread was a little soft on opinions of the pads, but it seemed the clear gel pads were the best, so I bought a set from the link below and...
