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 everyone! I've had the Grado sr325i's for a while now, and I love them. Now, though, I want to get the Beyerdynamic DT990 600 Ohms because I enjoy their deep bass and good treble (at least to me - sharp treble doesn't bother me in the slightest) and I after researching, I found that generally...

  Well, I've hit just over three hours listening to the HD650's now (three hours total burn in).  I guess its time to start typing up this comparison.  As I type this, I'm going to be actively listening to both the DT990 (250ohm) and then compare how the HD650's sound, so it will best capture...

Hi, just joined the forums and this is my first time posting :) I read somewhere that replacing the pads on DT770's may improve the recessed mids. So, i was wondering if it is possible to buy DT990 leather pads and replace the velour pads on my DT770?

Can anyone detail the differences of these three headphones? i am looking to buy one.   if there is already a thread for this i apologize and would appreciate it if someone could redirect me

I noticed some channel imbalance in my 990's and decided to disassemble the drivers to see if there was anything wrong. Noticed there was quite a bit of hair in there and started plucking that out but the more layers I removed there was always yet more hair. After a while of dicking around I put...

Here's the thing... lately I'm becoming more and more curious about the Beyers, their sound signature, so I'm thinking in getting either the DT 770 (Pro or 2005) or the DT 990 (I prefer closed cans, but if the SQ of the 990 is much more superior than the SQ of the 770, I have no problem getting...

Hi all,   I'm looking for something to complement my AD700s for areas that they just aren't as adept at.  The AD700s seem great for classical and acoustic, but get into heavier rock or try to watch a movie, and they just don't seem to keep up.  I was originally set to buy the DT990s, but was...

I want to know how big my head is by comparing it with others. I have my DTs set to the 4th notch (the 4th dot/circle) on both sides. Take the poll! You can see how big your head is.         Ram (Rom)

I currently use the e11 with my grado sr80  and it sounds fine. but those are 32ohm headphones (the source is a sony x10 mini) basically i have to options: 1) use the dt990 with the fiio e11 2) properly (re)build my cmoy-like DIY amp and use it instead (and give the e11 to my mom with the...

So this is my first post here on Head-Fi, but I have been a lurker for quite some time now. Anyways, about two months ago I took a plunge and bought my first "serious" setup, which consisted of the Beyerdynamic DT 990 600 ohm version and an Audinst HUD-MX1.    Thus far, I have been happy...

Hey everyone! It's that time again, the time when I'm looking for a new pair of headphones! So far, I'm kind of stuck on Beyerdynamic DT-990, or the Hifi-Man HE-300. I've heard lots of good things about the He-300's, and that I wouldn't necessarily need an amp for them to use with my...

So I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a pair of Beyerdynamic headphones and am now trying to decide between the 880s and 990s.   Would you go for the 880 or 990? What's the difference between the two? Will a Sony home receiver be able to drive the 600 OHM versions? (if not I'll go...

So my brother asked me to get him good headphones(very roughly around 100euro category) So I suggested the dt990 Pros. After discarding AKGs for their looks and apperently mediocre comfort, sennheisers because I wanted something different than sennheiser for once and all the rest because of...

I'm looking to get the DT990 250ohm and wondering if my Total Bithead has enough power to run these. thanks guys

I'm new to full size headphones and am waiting to receive my DT 990 premium 250 ohm. I currently have a total bithead which i use with my IE-8 with the low/high gain switch but from listening to people with far more knowledge tham me this won't be adequate to drive the beyers. So i'm basically...

Hello Head-Fi.   As you can guess from the title i'm new in this forum and new to the "headphones" thing. Searched a while to find out what the "best buy" would be for me in my price range (which is ~125£). Many people recommended M-50 and DT 990...

I have enjoyed my closed AH-D2000's through the Grace m903 for some time now, but wanted to investigate open cans for two reasons.  The first of which is to find a can with a nice sound stage that can image well.  The last is to find an open can that is super comfortable that compliments my...

I have the Xonar DG and i believe it can handle up to 150 ohms. From all the reading I have done on the forum (Mainly Mad Lust Envy), I am really leaning towards the DT990 Premium 600, but I don't think my Xonar DG can drive it properly. I currently have the M-50s and I can agree with everyone...

Hi,   I'm looking for a new amp to power my DT990 250ohm and have always heard good things about the voyager and would prefer to go portable if at all possible, has anyone heard this combo and can give me a bit of insight.   Thanks in advance.

Hello Headfi!   After the purchase of my m50's i brought them to class to show to people, and many were blown away from the sound and asked me to reccommend them some headphones (even the Beats owners thought they sounded better than beats) So right now, ive got someone who wants a 200-300$...

  My current setup is playback from an ipod connected to a Pioneer AV receiver that has a proprietary ipod line-in connection.  I am using a Musical Fidelity V-CAN amplifier connected to the tape-out connection of the Pioneer and have Beyer DT-990 headphones connected to the VCAN.    I am...

I have recently received a $250 gift card to bhphotovideo.com, and since I'm a huge music lover without a decent pair of headphone I chose to invest my money on a quality pair of headphones.  I don't have too much money as I am currently a college student, so the most I can spend on the...

Hey all,   My current setup:   PC --> Foobar2000 --> Optic --> Maverick Tubemagic D1 --> Schiit Valhalla --> Beyerdynamic DT990 600 Ohm Premium     Last night my Valhalla finally came in (listening to the DT990/600 on a D1 for a week waiting for the Valhalla to come off of back...

Hi i'm new to high-end headphones, I have been looking at the AKG k701 headphones and the Beyerdynamic DT990 with the Fiio E9 & E7 combo, first of all i wanted to know if the amp & dac combo would be good enough for the headphones and also if they are the right type of headphones for me, i...
