I wouldn't even consider the 250ohm version (I also owned a pair of 2003 dt880/250).

so the 2005 dt880/600 is better than the 2003 dt880/250? or different?

IMO, it is better. I have posted quite a bit about the benefits of 600 ohm versions of the 880 and 990.

yea you did but i just kind of want more people's opinion. in fact i got dt880/600 too and i heard 2003 dt880/2003 too. i like them both but not as much as my dt990 pro

. i guess my next can is going to be a dt990/600. by the way, i just got back from hd600 and hd650, they're nice but i guess i'm more of a beyer guy.

also the 770 too. that's why i'm thinking i'm not getting 770/600. too little bass. i'm thinking maybe the djx1

 

[Skylab]

Yes yes, I should have said the 770 as well - I *love* my DT770/600's.

Hey guys,

I picked up a pair of DT770's (80ohm) over the summer and I think i need to pick up a portable amp to use with my iPod.

What would you guys recommend? I like bass (not too disproportionate), and i cant spend a lot of $ (freshman in college, not exactly a high roller yet, LOL). What would you guys reccomend around the $120 price range?
Is that even on the radar yet? :lol:

 

[mtakahata]

Dt-770 pro 80ohms and loving it loads.

I hear everything clearly during my mix in live sessions

I just picked up some DT770/80 pro's and a Nufoce Icon Mobile. Taking into acount that I don't have much to compare it to, I'm pleased with this combo thus far.

I haven't had a chance to try the setup with an ipod yet, as I'm awaiting the arrival of a LOD.

I have to tell my story - coming at this from a different angle, the speaker angle.

I recently converted to BIG Tannoy speakers. We are talking 15" cones, dual concentric speakers in big cabinets here - none of you narrow towers... Cabinet volume, mine are only tiddlers at 100L. I am planning some DIY 180-200L cabs over xmas / new year.

Anyway. Loving the big Tannoy sound, that means full range bass that you can hear / feel ever note and complex detail of, I found my HD-650's a bit lacking.
I had a read of Head-fi and got a pair of DT-770 - 80 pro's.
Ah at last a pair of headphone that does something similar to the Tannoys bass wise. Ok they don't sound like Tannoy's across the range but they do pretty good bass. I was amazed to find some odd sensations in my head caused by the bass on some of The Who's, Who are you album, and a great blues rocky heavy sound with the Allman Brothers.
I am sold on this sound. The bass is there to be heard not hiden by inadequate speaker or phones design. It should be THERE and not all tight and trussed up by some small cones.

I put the phones on when the family don't want loud / heavy music on and these phones are just the compliment to my system for that.

Just now I am listening to some MP3's through my Nokia N82 and with the equaliser set flat the 770's deliver...

All our ears are different it seems.

 

[smeggy]

I only have one set of Beyers.

The ET 1000 Electrostatics.

New DT990/600ohm owner. WOW BASS!!!

 

[Nick 214]

2005 DT770 and DT880 Pro, both recabled with the ED9 cable; checking in!

 

[boomy3555]

Marilynn and I really love our DT990's (2005,250 ohm).

These are by far the best all around "Fun" headphones I have ever owned. They are not reference audio flat soundstage but they make me feel happy about my music. I think that there are reference lovers and fun "Pop" lovers and these are definitely lively and fun. A little hard to drive but well worth it.

 

[Wilashort]

Hey, where you get the Ed 9 cable, and how much it cost to you?
Thanks
