Hi,   I've had this setup for a few days now and I'm really enjoying it. I've decided to play around with the gain switches and found some subtle, yet audible, differences. In particular I find the result using setting 5 awesome. It really gives a soul to these headphones, while I found the...

So I read, lurked, browsed, compared, and researched, until I decided that the DT880 (600ohm) will likely be my next upgrade.  Of course, unlike my previous headphones (ATH-AD700s, which I loved), they will need some decent amping to work.  What would make a good desktop dac/amp for $250?  The...

So I am debating between the HD598 and the DT880 (600ohm). I listen to a lot of pop-punk, punk, elctronica, indie, and some dubstep. Not looking for bass that shakes my face but I want to feel each bass kick and the full range of the drums. Thought? Thanks guys. 

I had purchased this over a year ago.  Even though I no longer own it I want to chime in on perhaps one of the best headphones you can get.  I've craved more bass, so my journey for the headphone that strikes me solid continues.  Nevertheless, the DT880 600ohm has grand comfort, grand sound, and...

So, I posted last month trying to figure out what amp I should get for my dt880 250ohm.... I was looking at RSA portables...   I've come to the conclusion I'm going to buy the Beyerdynamic A1 and get a portable later. It seems to me to be the best most "neutral" response that caters to me...

  Hi everyone!   This is less of a formal review, and more of my thoughts on these headphones. This is not a scientific review in any way, shape, or form. This is all my personal opinion.   Perhaps this can be useful to a fellow noob or at the very least provide some unboxing pictures...

I don't know if something is wrong with my HD650 or not, but when comparing the sub bass response to that of my 2005 DT880 on sub-bass heavy tracks such as Massive Attack's 'Angel' - I can definitely hear more impact and quantity on the DT880's on the lowest of notes (such as the introduction...

  I have been changing my gear up a bit and decided to compare the (1) AKG k702; (2) Beyerdynamic DT880 (600); and the Shure SHR840 on a set-up that consists of: PC - Udac2 - Burson HA-160.  In respect of burn in all the gear has at least a couple hundred (or more) hours on it.  I have doing...

Hi all, I have been browsing through this forum for a few days now searching for reviews of beyerdynamic dt880 250 ohm headphones(cought my eye while browsing for headphones on internet).Found plenty of reviews,they seem like quality headphones and I am close to ordering them from "moon-audio"...

      Hi guys,   I'm thinking of picking up a DT880/600 soon, and as of now I don't have any amps/source components (other than my Macbook Pro).  I've heard that the LD MKIII is a good choice for these phones, but my max budget is $200, so I wouldn't be able to afford a DAC if I...

Hi Guys,   So I've been looking for a tube amp around this price range.  The source is a DIY amb gamma 1.   I've read that little dot mk3 is a good overall amp but I've read around that some people don't think it pairs well with a dt880.   Are there any other suggestions in this...

Download 'Slam' by Pendulum (the album it's on, 'Hold Your Colour' is available free on filestube at 320kbps) and test this for yourself. For me on my setup (320kbps mp3 -> ipod line out -> Fiio E9) the bass is exactly the same on HD650 as it is on DT880 (2005 version). The DT880 seems to play...

So I've had my SRH840's for over a year now along with my D4 Mamba. I've been really enjoying the detail and the whole new world of detailed music with these (first ever Cans, just amazing stuff). There is some music that they sound better than others, like when I'm listening to Classical on my...

I'm interested in how these 2 compare on bass response... Extension, slam, impact, quantity...etc...   Would be grateful for replies of people who have heard both (preferably at the same time period)   Also. I've heard some people say that HD600 has more upper bass slam than HD650 - is...

I've heard that the newer version (silver) HD650 is more bass light than the old.   Also heard that the 2005 DT880 is more bassy than the old DT880?   So which of the two have more bass?   Would obviously like answers from those who have heard both!!   Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone!    I posted a couple of questions in the original "Seek guidance here" thread but wasn't getting many hits on my questions so I thought I'd create a thread.    I picked up a few weeks ago, the Sennheiser HD-25 II's and absolutely love them. My only complaint is that I...

Which of these has more bass?   You hear of both of them being bass light yet I find my DT880 to have as much bass as my HD650. How does the K701 compare?

Hello Head-fi,   First of all i have to appologize for making a recommendation thread, I Promess to contribute when i receive my headphone by making a review and other contribution will follow when i get ideas.   I will first state that i am exited to leap into the higher end audio but i...

Hi friends,   I love the nice sound of my (now almost a year) well burned-in 880s. What amplifier could be the finest step forward from Darkvoice 3322 for Beyer DT-880 (potential gain is expected presumably in the area of pace and rhythm, as well as in slightly stronger bass). I have the...

While recabling my new dt880s, I managed to ruin one of the cloth pieces that goes into the back of the driver housing while using a heat gun on some heat shrink tubing.  Although the headphones still sound good without this cloth in the back I am wondering if anyone knows whether it is a...

Pretty staightforward. Looking for a decent quality amp to drive these headphones for under 250$.   On a side note, I don't have an audio interface w/ soundcard yet either, would it be worth getting one or would the sound quality be pretty much the same if I used only the amp and my Mac...

I've read here for a while and yesterday I found what I feel like to be an amazing deal, but I figured I would actually post and get some input.   Yesterday I was browsing my local Craigslist and I saw someone had a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 880's for sale, for $100.  I thought that was a...

  I think my Beyerdynamic dt880/600's are broken!!!!  Basically the right channel is about 25% as loud as the left.  It is noticeable, and was sudden.....     Here is my story....   After rolling a tung Sol 5998 into my Woo Audio 3, I turned on the amp, let it warm up, then sat down...

Hey everyone, I got over my upgrade-itis for all of about 2 months but I'm back already :( So here's the thing, I absolutely love my DT880s. They haven't disappointed me for anything I've thrown at them: Classical, Jazz, Vocals, Electronica, Rock, etc, etc. But recently I've gotten a little bit...

Just wondering if anybody tried the Musical Paradise MP-301 MK2 with the beyer dt880
