Hi everyone,
Very recently, I purchased the DT770s, 80 Ohm model for use at home. I use it infrequently during evenings but often for extended periods (about 4 to 6 hours at a time). They are plugged in to the front port of my computer (which are ports provided by the relatively cheap case and not the motherboard itself) and I usually turn volume up to full.
The problem started yesterday where I seemed to detect a change in the sound coming through (specifically it didn't sound as 'full' as it had previously, where the stage just seemed sort of hollow, if that makes sense). I had taken my headphones off and then come back to them after some time so this might be entirely conjecture. I have, however, started to hear a buzzing noise at high volumes and at certain frequencies. In other words, the buzzing is not constant but sometimes comes in.
I am just wondering if this is because I am putting it directly into the case port or because I am utilising them at maximum volume or perhaps a mixture of the two. Additionally, if I purchased an amp, is it likely this problem would go away?
Thanks for reading this. Any suggestions or advice would be welcome.
