I am looking for a high quality headset or pair of headphones + mic and possibly external amp + dac that reach "audiophile" level. I would like to stay under $500 for the setup, if possible. This will be used for gaming on my Xbox and PC plus music and movies on my PC.  As far as taste goes, I...

I have owned the DT990-250 Pros for about 18 months and the Q701s for about 1 month. I’m pretty sure that the Q701s are completely broken in. They warmed up a good bit over the first 100 or so hours of break in, and they have leveled off for quite some time.   Equipment is Foobar playing...

After sifting through hundreds of threads and google searches, I cannot get a straight answer.   I am new to high-quality headphones and want the DT 990 250 as it seems to be what I need- open, good bass, etc. I primarily listen to trance, techno, house etc.   There are three amps I am...

It would be interesting for everyone to list their THREE most comfortable cans they've ever worn.... BarryT

I have these two Beyer headphones and they give me vastly different listening experiences. I always thought the DT770-Pro/80's were supposed to be the bass monsters of the series, but they simply are not able to perform at the level of the DT990 in my testing. The DT770s seem to have more...

Hello guys, I'm looking for a good headphones for music (Dubstep, Electro etc..) and for gaming (CoD, BF, MMO games etc..), I do not need an microphone.   Currently I have the SteelSeries Siberia V2 hooked up to my Asus Xonar DG, When I will buy the new headphones I will buy the Asus Xonar...

I want to get a pair of surround sound headphones for PC gameing. I have looked into the Astro A40's but I'm not convinced of the price. I heard that parting the AD700's with an Astro Mixamp will make a great pair of Surround sound headphones. Is this true and are they good for gameing?  I have...

I'm looking for a pair of headphones that have good bass and sound quality. I listen to mostly electronic music such as house/filthstep/dubstep/hardstyle/trap and some rap. The most i can spend is $300(Refurbished or new only please)

I did post in the sticky before you flame me, I am in desperate need of a new pair of headphones I'll delete this thread asap I promise.     Looking to pick up a pair of headphones and amp So far i've looked into 598's, ATH- m50's, ATH A900x's,ATH  A900's, SRH840's, DT 990's and DT 770's...

Been searching for an upgrade from $25 headphones to $200-$300 range headphones and I am liking the reviews on this headphone (also searched at DT-770, ATH-a900x, sr-80, etc.). I am not an audiophile but I know higher quality headphones can make badly mixed/compressed metal sound bad. I wear...

Has anyone used both of these headphones for gaming?  I am trying to find the best gaming headphones and I think I have boiled it down to these two.    I have a "Sound Blaster Z" PC sound card that can supposedly drive 600 ohms.  I currently have the AKG Q701 and I am mixed about how i feel...

I will attempt to create this thread again, since the last one detoured, got messy, and the mods deleted it!!   Anyway, the HD650 is known as a bassy open backed headphone, but can it match the bass quantity and impact of an 'averagely bassy' closed backed model?   (By 'averagely bassy'...

Hello,    I joined the forum for the sole purposes of being able to get in touch with the experienced audiophiles in the crowd. I was hoping I could get some input on my soon-to-be realized dream of owning HD800s.    Some background, I am an avid PC gamer, someone who appreciates the very...

so im searching for the best beyers for under 200. On amazon  i can get the custom one pros the dt770 pro 250 ohms or the dt990s 250 ohm... for extreme death metal deathcore dubstep hardstyle techno  and classical, what would be the better choice either paired with a fiio e07k?

Hi there, I'm fairly new to Beyerdynamic headphones and where I live they are not sold in stores and cannot be tried on, I want headphones that deliver loads of bass, good treble and great high's, mids and lows. These headphones are the ones I have conculded with but I don't know which model to...

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...

Hey whats up peeps, noob here :)   I need some help. after some thorough research i bought a pair of beyerdynamic dt990 32 ohm (i am using an ipod) in mid FEB for my bday and was waiting on the Fiio e11 to power it since it was slated to be released in march. but i read on here that that the...

I unfortunately don't have one, but wondered if anyone did? i think it would be quite feasible to print out the rest of the outside cover or partial covers - to clip on to the the outside of the DT990's to create a completely reversible mod. - Would be very interesting to hear peoples thoughts...

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has any good tips or links for buying the dt 990 600 ohm in the uk? Best price I've seen is £219.99 I'm also looking for the fiio e9 bit that seems stuck everywhere at £89.99 give or take a couple of quid Your help much appreciated, thanks

Hi everyone, I've been a lurker for a while and have enjoyed the information here. I bought my first pair of full size headphones a while ago (M50's) but I am looking to step up my game and get a pair of open back cans. I have been shopping around for a while and keep coming back to the...

I have these 3 and I'm still not satisfied.   Don't get me wrong, they are each wonderful headphones.   Overall the sound of the ATH-AD700's pleases me the most as long as I use a 12dB 60hz boost.  The sound has good impact, depth, soundstage, airiness, clarity, very fun sounding, but...

Hello everyone, -I just received my brand new Dt990 (from reputable website) today and they had these strange horn looking bumps on the headband.  It looks like there is something "popping" out of the band.  Is this normal? The headband does not have a smooth curve. -Also, is the yoke on the...

My desktop setup consists of a Musiland 02 paired with a fiio e9 and I am lookng for something portable that can decently power my DT770/250 and PFE 112's. Not looking for anything that can power them like my e9 just something that can do it decently at less than $150. Was looking at the...

  This DT990 32ohm in my opinion is Beyer's most versatile and dynamic headphone they have ever produced. It can be used as a portable phone if you wish, with it's low impedance design and super-comfortable structure. My source is a T-Mobile G2 (Android 2.2) running Poweramp as my music...

I'm looking for a bright/semi-bright full sized or over-ear headphone, with large soundstage, decent instrument separation, detailed, with good bass, that doesn't overlay the sparkle of treble. They can be open or closed, I just want the best sound for my budget. I'm not at all a bass head, but...
