Hey guys,   I've been having my Beyers for a while now and I've noticed that there are spots or smudges on the earpieces (specifically where it says DT 990 and whatnot).  I guess it's all over the metal or plastic? Not what the material is made out of.  I haven't touched them for probably 3...

I'm on a pretty tight budget as far as buying an amp goes, and I don't demand extreme volume. Just extreme quality. Will consider anything below $100, but really trying to get one for under $50.

So I built an ember and its sounds great. I was messing around with the output resistance selection which varies between .1, 35, and 120 ohm. Is the general idea to match the amp's output resistance as closely to the headphone you are using as closely as possible? I guess Im looking for a "rule...

Long story short i've been hit with upgradeitis and I need some opinions from the more experienced members.   My current Setup   320Kbp/FLAC songs-->Bifrost-->Hifiman EF-5-->DT990/K702   My go to headphones are the DT990 600ohms and once in a while i'll use the K702s.   I...

Hey everyone, so im new to this site and ive been doing a lot of research on a pair of headphones. Ive bean looking at the dt 990 Pros and I was wondering if they are good for me. Every thread that ive looked at helps answer part of my question but does not fully. I love listening to dubstep and...

Upgrading from ATH-M50's can anyone who has heard both of these cans share their experience and which they favored for what reasons? I know the 880 is more linear and accurate but I think it might lack "life" you know that zest just because its so focused on being precise, on the other hand I...

Hello, so i´m going to buy dt 990 pro but currently i only own Steelseries USB Soundcard. So my question is how will they sound without amp ? I´m going to buy amp/new soundcard at my birthday 3.3. Will the sound be alot better with amp? Thank you

I think the pads on the DT770 are too firm and wanted to pick up a pair of the DT880 or 990 pads which I heard are much softer and deeper but I was wondering if they change the sound a lot, if anyone can tell me that would be great :)   thanks.

Circumstances (financial and otherwise) have changed and I need to replace my Stax lambdas (I had a couple pairs, I liked the originals paired with a new amp most, but all were similar) with something cheaper, more durable, and with more noise attenuation.   I'm looking for dynamic...

Actually I need some help..I'm totally new to audiophile sound but I now own a couple of "fairly" High-end headphone. Here is my setup: Shure 535 IEM Sennheiser IE8 Beyerdynamics DT900 edition (600Ohms) NuForce uDac2   I want to be able to power the Beyer dt990's from my desktop...

need help..i've been reading and googling alot regarding these hp. I just got my fiio e17. i usually listen to all kinds from heavy(e.g. korn,manson,rammstein during my workout session) to meditational music or even classical(beethoven)..lol..i use my iphone with spotify at 360k/bits or...

So much for Fridays being a good day. Fell asleep listening to music on the 990's and when I woke up I moved my head and the left speaker cut out. I reached up and jiggled the cable and sure enough, the left started cutting in and out quite loudly I might add.   At least the seller has a...

Hey guys,   I am new to the site so Hello   Anyway, I have been listening to music for a long time. I usually bought a cheap ear buds or just found some of the Apple earbuds to wear. The best I got were a Pair of V Moda ear buds for like 60 bucks.   Anyway, I have been looking into a...

Hello folks.   I primarily listen to electronic music, specifically genres such as Dubstep, Electro House and Progressive House. I also listen to classical and jazzy music every now and then. I currently own the DT 990 Pros and are quite happy with them. I'm just looking for some new...

So I'm returning some recently bought ATH M50s and a Fiio E6 amp to Amazon. I really liked the M50s but I kept getting crackling sounds through some of my music no matter how I listened to it. Also, in general they just weren't for me. That being said, Ive got about $200 Amazon gift money and...

Hi, I have a choice of getting one of these headphones and am not sure of which one would fit my liking more. I'm not a huge fan of bass I'm more of a, "Midhead." I am aware the 990 is open air which is fine with me.    (Both are 250 ohms.)

I'm currently looking for a good place to put around $250 between a couple of potential headphones or an amp.   At the moment I am using a pair of AKG K701s, and a pair of Beyer DT770 Pro 80s depending on what I'm doing/listening to. Have an Essence STX with the headphone amp going through...

I need your help.  I am looking to buy a new set of cans to upgrade my Sennheiser 380s.  In my price range, after hours upon hours on these forums, I have identified a few headphones and would like your opinion on which ones to get. The ones I identified were the Beyerdynamic DT 880 (250 ohms)...

I love, I mean LOVE, the sparkly, crisp treble of my Beyer DT 990 600Ω headphones, but want to get a "statement" headphone that has slightly more forward midrange and perhaps (but not completely mandatory) slightly tighter, less dominating bass.  The DT 880 600Ω (which I also have) almost does...

I realize that they are both very different but long and mcquade has the beyers for $165 and I was going to pair them with a Schitt Magni. The K167s are around the same price and I've heard they have a vey wide soundstage for closed back cans. I mostly game on PC and listen to mostly rap and rock.

Hello again, sorry for "spamming" this forum but in my last thread I was asking for advice on AMP and DAC for DT 880 but things changed, I had a possiblity to listen to both 990 and 880 and decided on DT 990 (250 ohm). I was testing them both on MF M1 but it's not in my budget but it sounds...

Which one should i pick? I saw the He-300's online for $150 so that's a definite consideration. I listen to mostly alternative but i pretty much listen to anything. I currently have Sennheiser HD 550s, and i really like them. 

(I've already posted in the recommendation thread but my post seems to have been lost in the onslaught of other replies.)   I'm looking to get an open-back headphone in the $200-300 range. So far I've narrowed it down to the AKG Q701, Sennheiser HD598, and Beyerdynamic DT990 250ohm.  ...

I'm considering purchasing a pair of DT990s along with an E9+E17, but have seen quite a few people mention that the 990s can be a bit "bright" for some people. Was wondering if the Fiio E17 was capable of taking a bit of the bite out of the high end to make them less fatiguing? If I'm not...

I've got a pair of dt990s 250ohm and i love them to bits, I want to upgrade and i am looking for a good tube amp match, I'm under the impression that the schitt valhalla is a good one to go for.   is this a good idea and are there any better amps i could get?   cheers    Dave
