Jesus... 4 years and I am still to see these go on a sale (or even with a reasonable used price...).
used? i seen one sold for about 65pounds on ebay mid year...
and recently about usd90 for another..with bruised earpads.
It came. I'll check if I'd blast.
The cheapest DT150 there is costs 113,62€ (89,51 gbp) used, and taking into account it retails for around 130 it's not preciselly a huge saving. The extra 16-20 bucks are well worth the warranty and the certainty that you are buying a new product in mint condition. To be honest, when I look for used stuff I expect it to go a bit lower.
It just means no one wants to sell his they are well worth the 130€ though
Please, do share your impressions =)
(and try to keep all the hype-based bias in the Z7 thread where it belongs)
Claustrophobic... hmmmm
i just plugged the DT150 into the McAir via a FIIO E18...
my old Karajan was more holographic than what i known it to be. i am not unhappy...
Sorry to butt into your conversation, but this thread has got me really interested. I'm listening to Beyerdynamic 990pros out of a Lehmann Rhinelander, and really enjoying acoustic jazz and classical, but find them a bit fatiguing, with not quite enough mids for my tastes. Soundstage, layering, imaging, etc. are all good, though.
Is it possible that the DT150, which I see on Amazon for $270, would be a step up for me? I like bass and mids, and want smooth treble, (basically like most people), but also want to have a natural-sounding acoustic presentation ever so slightly on the beefier and warm/dark side.
I'm afraid of orthos (including Fostex mods) because I don't want a new amp at the moment and it only gives out about 120mw per channel.

So what I see is a HD600 sound.
I find the response to be almost identical, the 150 is just higher fidelity than the aforementioned.
Both my DT48s and DT150s make my 600 sound fake and grainy, timbre accuracy of the 150 is some of the best I've heard.
120mW should be enough on paper but its not going to be, at least 400mW-Root Mean Square for Beyer 250 Ohms, 400Ohms DT100s we're looking at a lot more..those are even more inefficient, more so than the DT 600s, DT600 Ohms around 500mW RMS.
With ideal amplification and all that, the 150 sound awesome but... beware of the weird sound descriptions you'll come across. Almost as if people are doing Stand-Up.
