Hey, this is my first post, sorry if i did something wrong since i'm new to the forum and audiophile world. I recently got some beyerdynamic dt880s which arrived a few hours ago and i have a g-lite amp on the way (i hear it may take awhile.) The only other headphones i have to compare against are the Bose triports (i know everyone hates them). Anyway, listening to the 880s and the triports plugged straight into my macbook (the volume has to be hugh for the 880s but they get plenty loud), it's clear that the 880s are better (insert flowery/technical language) but not by a huge amount. Some stuff sounds similar, but, for instance jazz sounds way better.
I'm wondering how the two (880s & bose triports) will compare once my amp arrives. Will the beyerdynamics "come to life" and completely outshine the triports in every way, or just get a little better than they already are. I simply cannot wait a couple months to find out so i'd love it if someone would tell me how they are going to improve because as of now they are the best things i've ever heard sans amp.
Thanks for reading my lengthy/stupid question.
also, the whole impidence thing seems to me to amount to "high or low ohms everything gets better with a good amp, but highers ohms get even better" is this right?
