Will my soundcard with no amp work with these headphones. I will use them for music like electronic and rock, but mainly for games like Counter Strike and BF3. Answers and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Brand new, got them for a great deal, but I feel like the deal blinded me from understanding what I was truly buying.   These are 600ohm headphones, and all I have for an amp/dac is my fiio e11 & mbox 2.   I'm glad that these headphones are awesome, but on the other hand i feel like I...

Which one is better and which amp would prefectly satisfy both of these very reputable headphones???

  Help guys. I'm pretty new when it comes to audio. When I was searching, a lot of people recommend getting DT990 for trance and electronic music. I have Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10, Audio-Technica ATH-M50 and FiiO E17. I'm thinking about selling my M50 and upgrade to something better. I'm kinda...

I really planned on using a FiiO E7/E9 combo for a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 Ohms version. Would it be enough to pull out it's full potential?

Just wondering if, based on the above "chain", there would be any need to buy a "better" sound card like the STX or Titanium HD?   I *think* the answer is "no", since the U3 is the "DAC" and provides Dolby Digital Live for surround sound gaming through the headphones, and the O2 drives the...

Hey all,   This is my first post in this forum, I've lurked for a little while, still not entirely sure this is the place to go. Sincere apologies if I've gone to the wrong place, but similar threads were posted here from my searches, so it seemed right.   My girlfriends ES7s cable has...

I like the DT990 Pro's sound a lot. Is there any in-earphones or closed back headphones that are similar? I want to be able to listen to something like the DT-990 Pros anywhere I go without annoying people :(   Thank you.

I think I have decided I want to get some beyerdynamic headphones. I fell in love with them when I tested some out at CES this last year. But I cant decide on on if I want to go with open or closed back. and If it is worth it to spend the extra money on the Tesla series? Anybody have any input...

I've been asking around the forums for a couple days (or weeks) now for the best gaming headphone for me, and I have narrowed it down between the Q701 and Dt990 250ohm. First, I will be using them for: %80 Gaming, %15 Music, 5% Media FPS isn't a huge deal, but I would like to have better...

HI im pretty new around here ive never really owned a real pair of decent headphones and i want to invest in a new pair Ive seen some really good reviews for the DT990s and can get them for 285 or I went to my local shop and they had the sennheiser HD650s and the HD595s i tried these two...

Anyone know if Beyerdynamics sells replacement cup bearings (the part surrounds the grills) for the DT990?

Hi the title states it all. I recently found a vintage dt990 600ohm and a hd595 for relatively cheap over the internet (needs some sprucing up)  I decided to bite the bullet and add it to my collection regardless.   This is my first high impedance over ear headphones and im very excited...

I wanted to do this comparison because despite these two headphones aren’t in the same price range, I do think they might appeal to the same audience. When I was on the hunt for alternatives to the DT-990 I found that this question had been asked before, DT-990 vs. HE-400. So that’s something I...

These are expensive direct from Beyer. Can someone give me a link for a good price on them? Prefer black.   thanks...

I have been using dt 990 pro 250ohm for about a year now and two days ago i suddenly lost audio on the left side. I replugged the headphone and they started working again. But the problem resurfaced so i tried to use them with other devices and the same result. However this only happens after 4~...

I just purchased a pair of denon dt 990 600 ohm and they dont get loud enough! I am using them with a fiio e7. I also own a pair of ath-a700 which get much louder then the 990's Is the e7 not enough to power these cans? I am considering a asus xonar essense st, would that be sufficient to...

Title says most... My budget would be around $100, but the cheaper the better.

Hi, I'm going to buy a pair of Beyerdynamic DT990 soon but currently I don't have any AMP or dedicated DAC. I have been reading forums in search of the answer for me but I couldn't find exacly what I wanted. My budget is about 400 $ for DAC and AMP. Before a lot of Hi-fiers recommended Meier's...

Hey guys. just bought a pair of Beyerdynamic DT990 Pros and while I do really like the sound I find them quite uncomfortable, mainly because my ear scrapes along the foam inside the ear cup and it can become really irritating and the way they clamp to my head so I'm trying to stretch them out a...

I can feel my wallet and conscience sharpening their tools. But... my curiosity just keeps tickling me. So, the story is, I absolutely love the sound out of my DT990 Pro. Really, wouldn't trade it for the world right now, and especially since I got it from another Head-Fi'er at quite a good...

I want to get the DT 990 Pro 250 Ohms and I'm looking for something to properly drive these.    I'm looking at the Sound Blaster Z and the Sound Blaster 5.1 Omni.   If both are the same product, with a DAC & AMP, then I am leaning towards the external so I could use it with my laptop too.  ...

I just got my career job and can finally get my feet wet with some real cans. I purchased the BeyerDynamic DT 990's 600OHM ( used this site to read and pick ones i wanted. You guys are awesome) and I am loving them. I paired them with a Asus xonar STX. Card became defective and they resent me my...

Hiya   I was wondering if anyone can tell me how a stax sr 207 or 202 (older model) compare to the beyerdynamic DT 770/880/990's   Also one of my most important questions i have is the bass, is it able to produce a thicker/deeper/more detailed bass than the DT's?   I have the DT 990...

I have a Asus Xonar DG in my desktop and I am thinking about getting the beyerdynamic DT990 250 ohm model. I wanted to know how much quality loss I would have by using this relatively cheap sound card. I am just trying to save money and I don't want to spend another $100+ on a separate headphone...
