I got them the other day, and the bass definitely had no impact. The bass is there, and well defined, but like I said it didn't have any punch, that's probably due to the open design, though I was expecting at least a decent amount of bass. The headphones will probably take a little while to...

Hello, As I read in Head-Fi I found DT880 a great neutral product for arranging and mixing. But as a matter of fact in the site: equipboard.com I found that some favorite producers like Skrillex use Beats by Dr.Dre ! I want to know If DT880 pro or HD650 are great headphones, why Skrillex...

decided to replace the 3.5mm jack on a stock dt880 cable.   cut the cable.   stranded enamel wire. why the hell do they use enamel wire?   How do i tin a solder this stuff??

Hey guys, I currently have an Asus Xonar DGX sound card on my desktop PC. I'm thinking of getting the Beyerdynamic DT880s, but I've heard that the 250ohm version sounds much better than the 32 ohm version when amped. Will my sound card be able to handle the 250ohm version or should I just go for...

I am starting at the bottom on Chinese gear, purchased this DIY set from Chongqing last month. A little about my perspective - I am a former club DJ of 20 years, got out of the business and sold most of my music and gear over 10 years ago. Now semi-retired and looking to reacquire some new...

Hello everyone,   Like the title of this thread, I would like to know if there are any sonic differences between the DT 880 Pro and the DT880 Premium. I've read a few threads, and all seemed inconclusive. I am most concerned with sonic differences that are not from the additional clamping...

Background Story I Got my DT880/250ohm about a month ago and initially found it to trebly and weak in the bass. After burn-in I like it more and more everyday. I mainly use this to mix in the studio but also to listen to music at home more recently so I can burn them in more.    I've been...

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...

Hey, wanted to see what you guys think my next purchase should be. My current setup being schiit gungnir > schiit lyr with Hifiman HE500 and beyers dt880. I'm thinking of getting a new amp (Either schiit mjolnir or bryston BHA1) OR purchase a pair of Audeze LCD2s to try out audeze bass. I'm open...

So I just bought a pair of DT880 pro for $180 ($192 after tax). Do you think this is a good deal? Since this is already a lot of money would I be fine without an amp/dac? I already have the vmoda M-80s, so do you think the 880s unamped are significantly better than the M-80s? If not, I might...

I've been a wannabe audiophile for a few years now, listening almost exclusively to conventional home audio systems. Then it happened: We had a baby. No more late night listening sessions. No more mid-day listening sessions. No more listening sessions period. But a whole lot of "TURN THAT...

Could somebody explain the line of audio or such or show pictures of how this all happens. Is a Preamp and a DAC the same thing? What about something like the Zero, which is a Preamp/DAC/Amp apparently. Does that mean you can use it as a preamp and an amp? What does this even mean? Explanation...

I may be able to get $300-$400 for a new pair of headphones; I'm wondering which should I get? I'm going to be gaming and listening to classical music and jazz (mostly classical). I listen to orchestral pieces and concertos. Also, I need headphones that can use the audio jack and mic jack...

EDIT: Nevermind, the original thread was opened back up. Ignore this one.

I own a BeyerDynamic DT 880, I lost my original receipt, how do I find out  how many OHMS my model has?

well, i bought the akg k550 headphones and there doesn't seem to be enough bass. i was asking for a non-colored sound and a nice balance between lows mids and highs and not overly bassy. i didn't say i wanted NO bass. i'm in the 300 dollar and under range. now i am considering the beyerdynamic...

So I need some recommendations for a DT 880 Pro 250ohm. I'm thinking about getting the Magni and a Xonar DGX to drive the headphones I'm getting. Would this work? What would be the most cost effective solution to drive my headphones?

I'm still deeply unhappy with my Denon HP-500. Six months later, it still sounds like the audio equivalent of a cold draught. Worse, all my music sounds as if it had been recorded in a totally dry room with all microphones stuffed deep into the individual instruments. It's been gathering dust...

Right now I have the fiio E17+E9 and thinking about upgrading to Schiit Asgard 2 and Uber Bifrost for my HD600 and Beyer DT 880 250 ohm headphones.  Is the jump from E17+E9 to Schiit Asgard 2 and Uber Bifrost huge and very noticeable in sound quality?  Would I need to upgrade again?  Is it worth...

I'm stuck between these two. Why pick X1: •Bigger ss (soundstage) •More bass •Look better •Efficient Why Pick DT880 •Replaceable Parts •Cheaper Why Pick ATH AD900X •I think the pads are replaceable •Efficient •Cheapest If I get the dt880, I'll get the magni amp. Anyway, I don't care about...

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade from my Sennheiser HD-280 Pro to one of those aforementioned headphone. But I don't know which one is the best choice under 250$. So I need your help. Which one of them do you think has better sub-bass & bass quality (with decent quantity), better mids & highs...

Hello Head-fi, I joined a few weeks ago and I have been reading a lot from your forums. I want to get into the headphone making and modding world, any advice? I am about to start my first project, probably something with the Koss KSC75's... I'll keep you updated...   I am also a proud owner...

Hello, just made an account to post this. So, nice to meet you all? Couple of months ago i've been surfing head-fi looking for decent cans and i ended up buying DT880 (Premium 250ohm) and i am using it with a fiio e11 with my laptop and nexus 4. I am happy with the sound im getting even though...

Hi Guys,   So i'm in the market for some new headphones.   Just to give a quick rundown of my previous experience; my first pair of decent headphones were some AD900's. Loved them but found they were lacking on the bass front. This lead to me purchasing some Hifiman He-400's a while ago...
