Hi All,   I am very new to headphones and audio equipment but I am very into good sound! I have just started reading about products and I have set myself a budget for $500 (although depending on the salesperson i could be convinced to go higher :P) for either headphones or a headphone and...

I used to have a DT831 and really enjoyed it's clarity. My Phonak 122 just broke (cable) and all I have now is a pair of old HD497.   My setup is Foobar (wasapi) ultra upsampled to 96khz amped by an Onkyo 507.   I dunno if I should just get the 598s and be done with it, or if I should...

Hi everyone! At the moment I'm owing a Cowon J3.  I'm planning to buy Beyerdynamic DT880 headphones soon.   I read a lot about the ones with 600 ohms and heard that they were the best. 250 ohms seem to be fine, too, but it looks like the ones with 600 ohms are better. I'm wondering...

I switched from dt770s to 880s and I'm so much more happy with the 80s in about every way...except the damn coiled cable! It falls off my desk as tugs at the headset. It bounces around when I walk and tugs at the headset. If I want to get up and walk further than 3ft away from my audio source...

Hi there! I'm from Europe (Vienna) and about to buy a Schiit Valhalla (and a Bifröst). In the threads about Valhalla I read it synergizes good with dark cans like HD 650 - iirc. The DT 880 (250Ω) being quite bright, I was just wondering, would the combination maybe be too trebly? Are...

Looking for an fast and organic sounding amp with great pace (imo a function of very stable timing) and excellent transient response, esp. at low to moderate levels.   Budget up to 700 new or used. i am open to dac/amp suggestions up to 3k aswell (over 1k with preamp function to use with my...

Hi all, first post here. One of the drivers in my DT-880 has developed a rather annoying buzzing with bass-heavy music even at normal listening levels. First I thought hair inside but I've gone as far as I can to clean it and the buzzing is still there. Next step would be actually removing the...

Hey guys,   I posted yesterday about trying to find nice cans for classical, and I think I've narrowed down to two options, the HD600 and the DT880.     Which would you recommend? Also if you recommend the DT880, would you recommend the 600 or 250?  Based on what I've read, some people...

I just ordered a pair, I liked the pricing ($230) and aesthetics of the DT880 Pro 250ohm over the Premium 600ohm and I don't have the budget for a good OTL tube amp to get the most out of the 600ohm. I'll probably get an Objective2 amp soon as well. I was just looking at random youtube video...

Beyerdynamic's DT880 is a headphone which I have been long familiar with and have always had a great affinity for since the first time I heard them. The sound is tilted just a notch brighter than neutral while still sounding very natural and transparent. At one point, not too long ago, the...

Hello everyone!   I invested in a pair of DT880-600 about a month ago and totally fell in love with them. I am now looking at a pair of IEMs with a sound signature (analytical and a bit on the bright side) as close as possible to them.   I read about the Brainwavz B2 and they seem to be...

Hey everyone, I'm looking to either get the 250Ω or the 600Ω version of these headphones. The 600Ω are quite a bit cheaper than the 250Ω variant here so I'm asking myself the question of how I should power them properly. How big is the difference between the two versions in terms of needing...

Hi Everyone,   Ok, so I have been researching for it seems like days now for a good headset.  I am currently running a Razer Carcharias headset for PC  gaming and listening to music.  I find my current headset very comfortable but the audio especially when listening to music sounds very...

Hey,   My HD 598's have been really great, I'm giving them away very soon though, so another headphone will have to take its place.   I've been looking around and listening to different headphones over the past few weeks, but couldn't a decision yet... These are the ones I'm considering...

I bought a pair of Beyers DT-880 Pro a couple of weeks ago. Being my first mid/high-end cans, I really liked it. So much that I often wear it outside. A few days ago, when I was hearing Angel by Massive Attack, I noticed that the left side started rattling, distorting at high volumes (around 5...

I just got a set of second hand DT880s that I bought off of Ebay. The first thing I noticed was that the headband adjusters were very loose. Apart from the up and down movement, there was a significant amount of left and right movement and in-and-out movement. I felt the other end of the...

I've had the DT880 Pro (250ohm) for about 2 weeks now and probably have around 20-25hrs on them. My previous headphones were Grado SR80i which I only listened to once since I got the DT880's and haven't bothered since as I've decided the DT880's are far superior in every way. I've heard they...

Earlier today I tried removing the felt discs covering the driver (just behind the foam in the earcup). It seems very amplifier dependent but aside from some very minor added clarity somewhere in the lower treble there was also a more irritating peak in the upper treble. I assume it was around...

Hello everyone, been a long time lurker of this forum and it's been a valuable asset for deciding on purchases, for that I want to thank all of you! This is my first post here.   About 4 months ago I purchased a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880 600 ohm headphones, they were incredibly bright out...

If I'm finding the Audio Technica M50 to be quite bright in the treble at times, will the DT880 offer smoother highs, or has it got even more sparkle at the treble end?

Which of these headphones provides the largest soundstage? I'm looking for a headphone that has the ability to present sound in 3D with detail. I listen to hip hop, jazz, and soul primarily, but want the sound I hear to be envisioned. I already own a pair of Grado SR80i's and HD25-1 II (which I...

Hi there!! i'm new to these forums, thought i'd say hi and sign up... because i have a burning question.   Here is the choices i have considering my next headphone purchase: Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO Beyerdynamic DT 880 PRO Audio Technica ATH-M50   Here's my situation: I already...

Okay guys I am settling on three headphones. The Beyerdynamic DT 880 250 ohm, the Ultrasone Pro 750, the Ultrasone HFI 2400 and the Beyerdynamic DT990 32 ohm (there must be an amazing reason to spend more money on these.) Which is the best? I don't care if my headphones are open or closed. I...

Hi im new to this so please forgive any school boy errors ;) I want to buy a pair of over the ear headphones for producing at night when i can't use my monitors, so after a long search i decided to go with the DT880 pre 600ohms as i make electronic music and these seemed to pip the competitors...

I've got about 800-1200 bucks out of my yearly bonus to burn on stupid crap, and was thinking about stepping up from my DT880s - I mainly listen to rock/indie rock/pop stuff, with some japanese pop/electronic-ish sounding stuff thrown in.  The DT880s seem to handle all of these well enough -...
