just did some research and if you look at my last thread you know I am looking for an upgrade for my HD598. All I want is increased bass, without loosing any of the pros of the HD598. The cheapest solution from what I can tell or the viable option for me would be the HD700 or the HD800. (90...

I'm a little confused about the relationship between the PC sound card and the DAC/Amp.  So please bare with me...   I currently have a Creative Labs XtremeGamer sound card in my PC.  I use AD700s.  I am happy with my sound, but I can't help but feeling there is more out there to be enjoyed...

Hi all! I've been looking lurking around different sites doing A LOT of research recently on different headphones and I've hit the point where I'm left with two choices. The DT 990 Pro (on sale at adorama) and the AD900x (~$180 CAD). From what I've read, these two headphones seem to fit the bill...

ok, i just bought the ATH-AD900x and to get most out of these i am going to need a DAC. (still a few days before I receive them   i am considering getting a Portable dac/amp so i can also exploit these cans from my laptop aswell as desktop, and also maybe phone (bit unsure as they are...

So my earlobes react really bad to having pressure on them even for a little while. Looking for over the ear headphones that are big can fit 4 fingers in as ZeosPantera would say. I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990 pro's that I'm going to sell, I'm not a fan of them. I'm also looking for a...

Currently, I own DT990s pro. Need closed back headphones to listen music at work. Also to plug on my guitar effect box. The DT990s are a little bit too treble heavy to play with my guitar without annoying noise. Maybe the M50s ? I tend to like bass tho ;)

Hello Guys,   I have signed myself up on Head-fi for quite a few years. Never posted anything until today. The reason why I do today, is because I can use some inputs from everyone on one very troubling question I've been asking myself for quite a few weeks. How can I justify myself for...

So long story short my IEM VSD1 broke after lite use :( While it sounded good for the price I dont consider it a good deal when it was pretty much disposable..   I own a pair of noontec hammos that I LOVE for portable usage.. But wanna try something different just to see whats out there.. i...

DT990 pro are considered as one of the best headphones under 200$. Some people even compare them to HD800 in some regards(check the french version of "le numerique" and golderears.net review), without having a profound bias. The main reason, I believe, is their semi-open construction(like almost...

Hi, i have received 2 defective Beyerdynamic DT 990 pros in a row. head over to full size headphones section for the thread. Since im feeling a lil burned i was thinking about using the money for an expensive IEM instead. I like bass,hip hop, and would also use the iem for heavy gaming/movies...

Hey guys,   I currently have the Ultrasone PRO 900, and want to try something different. I have already had three pairs of Ultrasones (HFI 580, HFI 2400 and PRO 900). I want the bass of the 900s (or almost), but with a bit more of a refined sound (especially in the mids). I can spend up to...

Hi guys! That's a very nice forum! I checked here a lot of reviews and opinions but I'm not able to choose! Please help me!  I need to choose a nice headphone or headset for music and gaming. I have a Sound Blaster Z like source and my budget is around $200. A feature that interest me...

I have both of these headphones in my possession now. I'll probably be selling the DT990 soon so anyone want a detailed comparison before I sell them? Quick comparison: HD600 is full, lush mids, sound feels closer to your head, more intimate and relaxing. Not as exciting for some music. Tone is...

Summary : I want a super comfortable headphone that doesn't have very reccessed mids, doesnt skimp out on the highs and has a good amount of bass for music and movies, under $250     Let me start off by saying comfort comes first. I want a headphone that is better for listening to movies...

After 4 years of using Creative- and Sony in-ear plugs, I figured that music sounds so much better through headphones. So now I'm looking for very good headphones that suits trance music the best. I almost always listen music on my phone, so I don't know if I'm able to use headphones like the...

Beyerdynamic DT990 (30 years old/unknown ohm) vs Beyerdynamic DT990 Manufaktur 600ohm Well I would like to thank fellow headfier CaptZ for sending 2 pairs of these old beauties my way for me to review, he wanted me to test them against some new DT990's which I will do soon. This will be a...

Hello; I am looking at a couple different Beyerdynamics for a friend of mine who is building a gaming PC. I have a pair of DT770 Pro 80ohm and absolutely love them.   However, after reading about the DT990 Pros, I'm thinking they may be the way to go because they're an open headphone. Which...

Hi Guys :)   Could you please advice me IEM for my Ipod Classic?   I just bought Ipod 160GB because of its huge capacity and hopefully at least good sound   I have DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm and i just love them. But they are not portable and i would like to hear my collection outside too     I...

Hello all, just this week I've stumbled on an issue with my DT990 Pros which I've only owned for ~3 months. The right driver has developed a rattling noise, it happens under very specific bass frequencies in the mid-bass area. I've disassembled the headphones and taken out the drivers, I removed...

The DT990 have a lot to offer but I'm realizing more and more that I don't really like this. The culmination of this occurred when I got my hands on some fairly cheap ($200) studio monitor speakers and to my ears they sound much more pleasant than the DT990. The DT990 has great ambiance and bass...

Hello.   I have been using the Astro Gaming Headset/Mixamp combo for gaming for years now.  I have been interested and been reading many forums and watching videos on Youtube on the Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic headphones having a great soundstage, especially for gaming.   NOW,  I want a high...

My Sennheiser HD-280 Pro headphones are great, but no matter what I do - they clamp my head too tight and I get headaches within 10-15 minutes of their use. I am very sensitive to head clamping - more sensitive than an average person. AFAIK there is no way to stretch them permanently. I kept...

Hi! I just bought Odac and o2 amp combo and I began a search for new headphones to use with it within 200$ I was wondering, would DT990 pro sound great with that combo or will it be too bright? Are there any other headphones in this price range that can compete with DT990? Thanks! :)

Hi guys,   New to the forum and still a bit of a newby when it comes to do audio but I'm willing to learn.   I've got a set of DT990's running off a NuForce ICON HDP and I'm not completely sold on it's bass. I purchased them based on reviews as there's no places nearby that stock...

Hi !   First off, thanks for the beautiful forum and all the ones participating, it is my first post but I have been reading quite a bit    I would still need a bit of a help though.   I have purchased and sent back three headphones : DT 990 Pro, AKG K551 and K701. All of them were used...
