Very nice read, thanks for your thoughts.
nice review, but i think u should have included the KSC75s!
I just got mine today, they're on my head and pumping out Muse into my happy ears and brain.
It's beyond me why nobody slices off the two center bumps on the K701 with a razor...
Okay, resell-value = lost, but now you DON'T HAVE TO sell 'em anymore...
Guess I'm weird, the K702 bumps give me a better fit : |
Thanks for your thoughts on these headphones OP! I have the HD600 and getting the DT880 in a few weeks when they come back on loan so looking forward to hearing them. The HD600 is quickly turning into one of my favorite headphones.
Fiio E7/E9. It was mentioned somewhere in the upper half of the review.
The DT880 have some annoying smiling face EQ type of sound with piercing treble... I mean is fine for a beginner, but it gets boring after awhile. First I can recommend you to get a nice SS hps amp with a quality DAC, just to try to get the maximum out of your hps. Second burn in those hps for a minimum of 150 hours.
I personally did not find the highs much different from the K702. I do understand what you mean by smiley face EQ, I just simply don't find it that.
I highly doubt my DAC/amp will be replaced anytime soon. I purchased this with the goal of having a setup under $500, having a portable USB DAC/amp for when I travel, and still having enough power to drive the three headphones in this review. The HD600 and E7+E9 would have been slightly over that, but $30 wouldn't ruin me. If I were to upgrade my desktop DAC/AMP, it would possibly be around Christmas time.
He's using an E9...It said that in the review...
"I would say the DT880 is that wild and crazy chick you dated that was open to threesomes, while the HD600 is the trustworthy one you love that you decided to marry in the end."
Looking at a Headroom graph, I can see why the sound of all 3 was so close:
Nice review. First time I've seen the 3 compared side by side.
