I'm definitely going to purchase a pair of these, it's just a matter of which one to get. I'll be using these strictly for my desktop computer. The problem is, I only have an on-board soundcard. So there's no way it will be able to work the 600's or even 250's. However, I WILL be getting ASUS...

Looking at the 990 louver cups, they look like they could be replaced for a srh1840 type mesh to show off the driver and look infinitely cooler. Anyone have any insight on this kind of thing?

I have a laptop with foobar and some nice DSP configs and a Fiio E17 with upgraded cable as my source.   I currently own a pair of Ultrasone PRO 750s and enjoy them, but I have heard that the HFI models have smaller cups (do not completely encircle the ear)   I listen to mostly...

found a cheap pair of bayers but would like to know if anyone actually knows what they are ? they look exactly like the current pro line but have 600 ohm printed on them instead of 250. all research points to these not existing.  

I have a very small budget, having picked up the headphones for cheap used. The most I would be willing to spend is £100 (GBP) Will be using it at my desk only, so it being portable is not a requirement There are a lot of options around this price range (I have looked at the dac destroyer...

Hey Head-Fiers,   I've read a lot on the forums already and got the DT 990 250 ohms as my first "higher-end" headphones. Their sound is really great compared to my other headphones even when I drive them with my Xonar DG soundcard or just the built-in output of my Macbook Air. Sometimes I get...

  I was hoping you would be able to help me out with this...   I am fairly new to the head fi world and have read many, many posts about this topic and just can't figure out what would be best as far as making my headphones run great. Most threads I am coming across are fairly dated, newer...

This is my first post so please be gentle :p I am about to buy a gift for a friend who listens to a lot of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3FAFzLKgUQ&list=FLA8qURgNEpssbfT4OGiN97Q&index=12 <-- that kind of music, along with lots of rock like Rammstein, Drive By Truckers, Pink Floyd and older...

Hey there,   I would like to ask you guys about this setup im planning to buy:   Beyerdynamic DT990 PRO: http://europe.beyerdynamic.com/shop/hah/headphones-and-headsets/studio-and-stage/studio-headphones/dt-990-pro.html  Audiotrak Prodigy CUBE...

Hey everyone. First time posting here.    I'm looking to buy a new set. My first REAL audiophile setup. Right now I own a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M40fs and a pair of Grado SR60's. I love both of them, although obviously the Grado's more, but the more I listen to them the more I dislike...

Trying my best to be concise. I’m on  the market for a pair of open/semi-open headphones which I’ll mainly use for gaming (I’ll pair them with a mic, that’s the reason I’d like to have them open) and for listening to some music (very diverse genres: electronic, pop/rock, classical…) at late...

I'm looking for an good desktop amp and DAC combo to use with my DT990 250ohm pros (it could technically be portable if its powered by usb, I just don't want something that runs only on batteries).  Currently using a Fiios E10, but it barely has enough power to drive the dt990s.  It could be a...

I have noticed with the dt 990 pro they sound a lot lower than my other headphones, I have the e7/e9 combo, e11 and a cmoy from jds labs. I have tested the 990 on all them and I have to turn up the volume on the amps. My other headphones are Denon d2000 and grado sr80 I normally have the volume...

What do the metal wings do on the headband of the DT990? Are they just for looks or do they have a purpose?   Thanks

So I just go a set of DT 990 600 ohm's in the mail today.  I'm loving them, but when I crank them up they get very distorted.  Plugged them into my Marantz PM5004 integrated amp which is being fed from the line out of my MacBook Pro.  Granted, my taste in music is drum & bass.  I'm thinking this...

Well I just ordered a Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250, and am wondering what AMP and/or AMP+DAC would be good to pair with it.  I have tried researching it and so far have mainly heard either a cheap tube amp off of ebay + DAC Destroyer and the other option is the Fiio E17 but the problem is they are...

I have just ordered the DT990/250ohm and I have a xonar DG PCI sound card. I was planning to power these with a FiiO E10 originally but thought that my xonar DG would perform better as a DAC so I would only need to power it. However I am a bit of a newbie to audio and not sure which method would...

I've recently purchased some new cans and thought I'd share my impressions.    Gear:   15" Mid 2012 Retina MacBook Pro (10.8.2) Kawai CA95 Digital Piano   DACPort FiiO E09K Onkyo SR607   Beyer T1 (600 Ohm) Beyer DT-990 Premium (32 Ohm) Sony MDR-V900 (24 Ohm) Bose QC2...

Love the phones, hate coiled cables. I could solder a new cable on in a heartbeat with my Weller but I was thinking of something more posh. Where might I find something like a mini XLR jack to mod the 990 pro to have a removable cable?   Has anybody had luck doing this before?

So Ive been using the Dt 990s pros for some time and i decided to invest in a dac/amp. My budget is 200, but the lower the better. The main one I saw was the Maverick AudioTubeMagic D1. I was wondering if its any good. Another one that I found was the Matrix M stage. I know its a little over my...

Just got these yestarday and from reviews I have read they need an AMP to sound great.  I mainly listen to J-Pop and Anisong + gaming on my computer.  From looking around the forums the Fiios seems to be within my budget of $100 give or take a few bucks.  Are the Fiios my best choice atm given...

Okay, I like these headphones a lot. Comfy as hell, doesn't really heat up my ears or make them sweat, sounds great, etc. The only thing I don't like (and I mean this in the lightest way possible) about these headphones are the highs. Well, I LOVE them because everything just sounds so...

I found an old av receiver around the house and I was wondering if it can power the beyerdynamic DT990 250 ohm. I was looking at the spec information on the yamaha website and I have to tell you that I am confused if this is a decent option or not.  Here is the page  ...
