I bought a pair of DT-880's ('03 model) this summer, but felt that they were really missing the oomph i get out of some other headphones. So for christmas i wished for and got a Little dot mk III, thinking that the problem was that my macbook couldnt drive the 250ohm impedance phones. However I still feel like the headphones are missing the oomph, its not that the sound is bad, its just a tad boring, as if it were a bit muffled. I enjoy the sound from my e4c's and SR60's a lot more. I've been plugging my headphones back and forth between amped and not amped and honestly i really cant hear much of a difference if any.
Has anyone come across something similar. I know I'm not an expert, but i thought i could expect some difference between amped and not. Could it be that the DT-880's just have too little bass for my needs? (though i wouldnt consider the music i listen to very bass heavy: pink floyd, RHCP, springsteen, etc..). If that is the case what headphones can you recommend, higher end grados?
