So, most of you know me here as an IEM type of guy. As a matter of fact, my signature bears out that I own no headphones at all (I did have the D2000 once, but sold it after the mids didn't satisfy me). Since I took my first plunge into in-ear monitors, I haven't looked back except for the the...

A while back, a year maybe, I bought a set of second hand DT880's (250 ohm) and have been using them happily with a modest rig comprising: PC spdif out to Musical Fidelity V-Dac and out to a Firestone Cute Beyond amp. The 'phones recently developed a rattle and, upon taking them apart, I was a...

which is better?!!

Is it too much to ask to want your cake and to eat it too? I have a Benchmark DAC-1 with a great headphone section. And I've spent a fair amount on headphones, but I can't seem to find any with a closed back that both sound good and I can wear for more than a few hours. Here's what I've tried...

Hello all, ive been a member of this site for quite some time, but this is my first time posting. Im looking to get some headphones for around 300, but am not sure what to get. I listen to a wide range of music, from Pink Floyd to Pig Destroyer, and also listen to a lot of dubstep/electro. Im...

This is my first post so please excuse me if I am doing anything wrong. I ve been spending hours reading posts in the headphones section and I am afraid I caught the bug. You guys are serious nerds when it comes to headhones (thats a complement). I really digg the community of this forum so I...

    I've bought a lot of headphones lately, trying to find the perfect pair. I'm looking for overall sound quality, bass and comfort. I've went through Shure 750DJ (Not enough bass, not very comfortable), Ultrasone Hfi-580 (This was my favorite pair until the Denon D2000), Beyerdynamic DT770...

      Hey guys, finally set forth on the path of no return and bought a pair of ATH M50's, and, worst of all, joined head-fi.     Just trying to figure what these guys are using in the video:     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNNNrnHF9Bo          Thanks

An odd question here...   A couple months ago, I bought my DT150 from a seller in Britain.  They are working fine, but one of the pads is starting to fall apart (the seam is splitting quickly on the inside of the pad).   Has anyone from Canada needed to get support in this kind of...

Hey guys, so currently, I have a set of Grado SR 225is being run out of my Denon AVR 2805 receiver (hooked up to my laptap via SPDIF to RCA port). The receiver was a hand me down, so I'm lucky to have it. It provides a better form of amplication than my soundcard or Zune. I love the awesome mid...

Hi, i found these forums some months ago looking for some good headphones for gaming, music, movies, etc.   It seems that there is some general consensus about the Betterdynamic DT770 pro and DT880 being the all-round best headphones (i leave the AD700 out of the list because i like bass)...

Im now looking for a new set of Headphones as mine aren't that great i don't think, they are a pair of Phillips SBC HP200 that i got for free. Done some slight modding to them some needed some not really, such as taping the buggers back together after superglue failed but also but stuffing under...

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good pair of headphones for Critical Listening and other studio based usage   I'm at University studying Music Technology and I need a pair, since I'm a student I'm also on a fairly tight budget.   In the UK if that makes any difference.  ...

  With the arrival of the DT48, I now have three of the Beyerdynamic studio headphones:   DT48E (25 Ohm) DT480 (25 Ohm) DT150   It must be time for a three-way shootout.   For this comparison, I used Foobar playing FLAC out of my laptop via optical to my custom DAC/amp, which...

So...I need good headphones and a portable amp [this is for long journeys...like a flight from singapore to america or stuff like that]. Right now i have the Shure SR750DJ but i want something better. My main music player is a 3rd Gen iPod Touch but i'll sometimes use my desktop which has a Asus...

Hey all, i've decided to get myself a new set of headphones and have spent the last 2 days scouring these forums for info which has been great but left me even more confused as to what headphones would best suit me, so any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated. I'm located in...

I'm looking to buy some new headphones. Currently own SR225i and a Little Dot I+.   I'm not an audiophile per say but I really enjoy music. Meaning I don't need headphones that are purely accurate. Prefer something enjoyable for long listening periods and lean towards a warmer signature. I...

my second pair of DT150 because i just love them so much. my first pair went well with the usual burn in and are stunning phones. i have always been a bit dubious about burn in but still feel it achieves something.   my second pair of DT150 were all over the place, with an obviously and...

Hello everyone,   (THE STORY)   I have always been interested in these cans, they have beautiful looks, and sound characteristics that would interest me. After pulling the trigger and buying them from another member here, the anxious wait began, and so did my unexpected sonic journey. I...

Hi   Need new phones. This time closed. For monitoring outside when we will record... So need cans with no or little sound leak. sound quality is not so important but still need to be good. Price? Something to around 150€ or maybe little more.   I was looking at: Beyer DT150, 250 -...

I'm looking to buy a ATH-FC700 and while the cups look awesome, the elbows on the phone just look weird when you wear it. It just out to make all this extra space between the  band and your head. The last time I had phones like these with the bent elbows, I just looked like a loser wearing them...

My question is exactly what the title says :P Mamba for my ipod 6G or buy a new DAP i.e. S:Flo2 ? I will be using SRH840,DT150 and Upcoming D7000 and LCD2s. Thanks  

Dear Head-Fiers, I have owned and enjoyed my DT-150s for over a year now, going from a pair of Audio Technica ATH-A900s and enjoying the more neutral, analytical, and revealing Beyers.  They have a great, very neutral, balanced sound with an accurate, relatively uncolored (if slightly dark)...

To my surprise, there is no general thread about vintage beyer headphones yet! There is the awesome dt48 thread of course, but I think a general thread would not be superfluous and there is none as far as I know. To remedy this most unfortunate situation , let all of us vintage beyer gear owners...

Hello everybody, Im new to this whole thing and my listening is at least 95% E.D.M. (trance, hard trance, hardstyle, and electro) Ive been reading these forums all day and im barely beginning to understand things a little bit haha.. from what ive read, those types of beyers ive listed seem...
