On every nice headphone I own, I have replaced the original cable or modded it in some way.   DT990 250 Pro - Coiled cable got really annoying due to awkward weight distribution // Solution Mogami 2534+Neutrik 1/4th inch ATH-M50 - Cable too darn long for a portable headphone // installed...

 first of all i am not an audiophile , but i found myself not enjoying any headphone much and that i want something more , i think a better soundstage would impress me .   so i decided to buy the creative Zx as my new sound card since a lot people said that there's no big difference between it...

Like the title says, is the Fiio E7 enough to power the DT 990 PRO 250 ohm's? I'm listening to modern music like pop, hip hop, rap, r&b, etc.   I looked at Fiio's website and they don't recommend to use the E7 with higher than 150 ohms, but people say it works just fine. I'm really confused...

Ive been at the amazon checkout page, looking at getting the DT-990 + e7 or the HD 598 + (maybe a e6). I love the looks and the comfort of the headband of the 598s, I have put them on but not listened to them (I know, weird right?)    I feel that the HD 598 are the perfect buy for me...

Hello guys, Im a new audiophile, I have just bought these Beyerdynamic dr 990 pro 250 Ohms. My interface is Edirol 25ua ex, Im a little confused about the amping thing of the headphones. With my interface, I have already an amp for the headphones? I dont have to worry? Thanks in advance!

Hello Head-Fi, first time posting in the HI-FI section. Im still a beginner to audio so i apologize for my lack of knowledge.   I have been on a quest to find a new set of hi-fi cans. So i narrowed it down to the the DT-990 pro's or the AKG-Q701's. Long story short i decided on the Q701's...

Hey,im buying new headphones for 200euros or less. Im listeninig to hard rock and heavy metal. I want open and neutral headphones,i was thinking about Beyerdinamic DT 990 Pro. My amp is Bravo V2 Thanks!

I was looking at a few different headphones, 300 or under.  I mainly listen to bands like Avenged, slipknot, and all that remains.  I was wondering which of these would sound the best.  I was looking at the V-Moda M100's, AKG q701, DT990's. HD598's, Soul Combats, and the AKG K701's.  Any...

Superlux hd668b has same sound signature as that of Beyerdynamic DT 990. However, Superlux hd668b cost 1/8 times that of Beyerdynamic DT 990. So is it worth to buy Beyerdynamic DT 990?

I normally use a pair of Sennheiser HD600 headphones and I enjoy the sound they produce. I listen to mainly classical music but not exclusively. As I am something of an amateur sound recordist I also own a pair of closed back Beyerdynamic DT250's which I find useful.   Now to my problem. The...

I have a Pioneer SX-315 Stereo Receiver and I use the built in Headphone output as an amp, but i cant seem to get the exact specifications for it online or if it compares to even an entry level Dedicated amp, i have not listened to side by side comparisons, does anyone know the exact specs of...

It has been about 9 months since Rob (Vorlon1) and I did a portable amp comparison. Since then I have had an idea of going back and adding additional amps. I hope that the additional listening time and perspective of all these months allows us to provide a better insight especially as we all...

After much help from the forums, I've decided to get the DT990's Pro version.  From what I've read, the differences do not justify the increased price of the Premium version.They are priced at $149.00 so that gives me some money to look at upgrading my AMP & DAC.  I currently listen to my Custom...

Hey guys,   Im new to this website and glad I found it. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and hopefully give me great advices. Im looking for new headphones and an amp to match them on my PC. Ive been using my HDJ 1000s for the past 5 years and they were my first good ones...

With Beyer changing the velour earpads from its DT880/990 series to the microfiber earpads in the T1/T90, do you think it is an improvement or a step back?   Which do you think is more comfortable and more suitable for long time listening?   Beyer owners throw in your views!

Budget - $400 would be the absolute max if I could order them on amazon, I have some credit there. Source - I'm planning on purchasing an o2 unless there is something much cheaper that would give everything than an o2 would. Right now I have an Astro Mixamp hooked up to a Fatality Pro sound...

I recently got a pair of 600 ohm DT990s and so far i have really liked the sound.  The bass isn't as big as everyone claims (which was a bit of a let down, but they have a spot in my collection nonetheless) and yes the mids are a bit recessed but that makes a lot of the music I listen to  a...

How is the sound leakage on these?  I'm going to be using them down a short hall where the baby and the ol lady will be sleeping and I don't want to wake them up at night lol.

For my recently acquired 990 pro´s I ordered a  Fiio E10. Currently I´m just using my on-board soundcard (Realtek 898). However, I just got an offer for a used Asus Sonar Essence ST for about  90$ which is actually  10$ less than I payed for the Fiio with shipping, and half of full price where I...

PSA for Beyer lovers and wannabe lovers. B&H Photo here in NY has the two TOTL Beyers for great prices: 2005 DT990's for only $179 plus shipping. These are the new one's folks. I ordered these myself after I crosschecked the manufacturer ID numbers on Beyerdynamic's website. I waited to get...

Well... I am looking to purchase some headphones for music and regular computer uses. Now I heard from different threads around the internet that these headphones are bad for gaming. Something to do with a small sound stage(Can you increase the sound stage or buy one of those DSS2 or with a...

Hello,   I am looking for a headphone amp for watching movies and gaming on Xbox 360.    What I have right now is: - TV without digtal audio out (only RCA) - Blu Ray Player with coaxial out - Xbox with optical out - digital cable box with optical out - Beyerdynamic DT 990 pro...

Hi folks. I'm new here, having recently discovered the benefits of headphones. I've been involved with audio for +30 years, and it's never too late to learn something new. My system is fronted by analog front ends, along with an Oppo105  going into Krell/Dunlavy, which brings me here. You see, I...

Back when i upgrade my regular apple buds to my current DT990 pro, there was a HUGE increase in sound quality.  it was the first time i experience what you guys mean by soundstage, deep punchy base, clarity etc.   However, the other day, i was at bestbuy and i sample all their high end...

Looking to get a decently priced amp at the moment. It is going to be used solely at my computer and its not going to move anywhere. Will get a DAC later down the road, but first and foremost I need an amp. Price range is going to be in the ~$120 range. Can be a little flexible.
