I am looking for a closed gaming headphone, something that is comfortable with minimal adjustment needed for at least 2-4 hours. I have ATH AD700's and V-Moda M-100's using a titanium HD sound card. I am planning on purchasing a dac/amp soon though and ditching the sound card, most likely...

Looking for input on changing my PC350 SE headset for either of these 3 headphones:   Beyerdynamic DT880 Beyerdynamic DT 990 Sennheiser HD 598   I do have a soundcard that can output at 600 ohm but I don't know if that will be such a large improvement in the Beyerdynamic headphones...

So, I'm looking to buy another step up from my DT990s, and so far there are these four in question, all around the same price range. I loved the sound of the DT990s, but the mids were perhaps a bit recessed and the treble slightly bright. I listen mainly to electro, but acoustic here and there...

Hey guys I am looking for a headphone amplifier to power my 250 ohm dt 880s and was curious what would be a good amp on ebay or amazon under $100 (used is fine too) I see a lot of made cmoys from companies saying the power 600 ohm headphones or ones with a single tube keeping it relatively cheap...

Hey first time poster here. So I am running DT880 250 ohm out of a presonus HP4 amp at the moment for the purpose of not pissing of the girlfriend when mixing music at night in my home studio. Problem is this is premastered music so it hasn't being brought up to the level we listen back at...

I always see these brought up for great all arounders. This always intrigues me because their price is pretty cheap ("cheap"). But I never buy them because they look to "industrial" to me. The 990's look like the ear cups are big aluminum vents; like something people in a factory would wear...

About two weeks ago i got my DT880's (250 ohms) and i absolutely love them. I am currently using my phone, which is a samsung galaxy s2, connected to an E11 amp. I heard that the S2 has a wolfson dac (which is supposed to sound great) but the the problem is that my phone is running out of space...

Hey all, finally got my friend to agree to upgrade from a pair of Dixie cups tied with a string to a real set of headphones, so I picked out a set of Beyerdynamic DT880 / 600 Ohm for him.  I told him how much he was gonna like 'em, and he will, but when I asked what amp he was planning to plug...

Hey guys. I hope this is the right sub section. I've just pulled the trigger on a second 7970 graphics card which means that my Xonar STX soundcard will have to go. Current setup: Headphones: Xonar STX -> Little Dot MKIII Tube Amp -> Beyerdynamic DT880 600ohm headphones Speakers: Xonar STX...

Warning: This review was written in the beginning of my days evaluating and appreciating headphones performance, at that time I was lacking knowledge and experience and only amp I was using was Fiio E06 hence take it with a grain of salt!!!  Many of you know the story one of the king's servant...

Hello everyone!,   Recently I broke my old headphones (Steesleries Siberia V2), so now i'm on the hunt for a new set of can's   Got my eyes on the DT990/32, only one problem, I'm talking quiet alot on skype with friend's, so I have a question how bad doe's the DT990/32 leak? or even the...

It's a decent deal 145usd.   I don't have a sound card, but im getting a creative zx soonish   I don't enjoy the springs i have to force so that the pads reach my ears.

Way back in 2007, I bought the Pioneer TRE-2000/DIR-2000C Dolby Digital Cordless Surround Headphones. I used the thing for about a year before I decided to replace it with something more lightweight and portable. So the thing is, I recently picked up the DT880 Pro 250 and was wondering whether...

Hello Head-Fi. I've never given high-end audio equipment much thought because I've always been more keen to spend more money on PC-related gear, and not so much on audio. I think most of it went into expensive displays, actually... but as of right now I'm ready to take the plunge into the...

Hello everyone I know there are a many comparison out there between these two headphone, but I'd love to get some input in comparing them for a very specific purpose. I need new headphones and I'd use them for listening (almost exclusively classical music). Chamber music's high on the list...

I'm looking for a headphone that is great for FPS gaming and sound positioning. I've been using ATH AD700 but it's very uncomfortable for me. The pads are itchy and headphone is very loose. I've tried bending it here and there but it's always either too loose (at the perfect height to my ears)...

Hi All,   I'm new here, looking to buy a pair of good headphones, considering primarily the ones listed above. There's lots of discussion out there comparing these and discussing which ones need a headphone amp more than others and how they compare with or without amping. I'm planning on...

Hi,   Can anyone who owns a pair of DT 880 Pro's (250 ohm preferably) tell me how the sub bass quality is?  Sub-bass quality of course being relative (these are headphones afterall and not a near field system with a sub woofer), but I want to know if frequencies like 40hz and below come across...

Hello all,   First post.   I've been enjoying my new DT880's (600ohms)  now for about a month, albeit out my Denon AVR 2907 phono jack.  I'd have to agree with what I've read that the headphones do lean a bit to the brighter side of neutral.  I don't mind that however, my 7.1 speaker...

A while back I bought a pair of sony xb700's and now I wish I would of bought 5 more pairs of them back then.    I will never understand why sony replaced the nice over ear xb headphones with crappy on ear headphones instead.   My head and ears are very sensitive due to health problems...

Hello everyone,   First, i apologize for my poor English language, thanks for your indulgence. Resistance is futile… Yes, i know… and for my wallet too ! Indeed, i can’t resist the urge to try different Headphones, again, and again, like many Head-Fi'ers…   I wished to try another...

+++ UPDATE 07-24-2011 +++ What you need: - a DT880 edition/pro with 250ohm or 600ohm - a pair of EDT770Velour (black or grey) or Beyerdynamic EDT990Softskin or EDT300Leather or EDT300Gel   The mod doesn't work with the older DT880.   Alternatives:   - a DT770 edition/pro and...

NOTE: Both these were the 600ohm variant and were tested out of my MKIII through my P1260 using a large variety of music   Build, Appearance, and Function   Basic Build: Obviously, the build and appearance of both these headphone will be nearly identical. And that is correct, with...

I recently acquired a pair of Beyerdynamic dt880 pro (250 ohm) headphones and I just don't know what to make of them. The problem is that on the one hand, they are superbly detailed and crisp on good recordings but hideously harsh and excessively bright (and sibilant) on poor recordings. The end...
