Disclaimers 1. I am not as knowledegable as many others on the forum. As such, I am closer to a consumer than I am an audiophile or even an audio enthusiast. 2. I have purposefully kept myself out of the loop when it comes to headphone reviews. I have not even read the rest of the thread. About...

Honestly, I have a Bottlehead Crack and Speedball with the 650, but it is so big and heavy that I cannot use it often. I have been using a Burson Soloist, which is slightly smaller, makes less noise, but is slightly heavier. The 650 sounds fantastic.    Regarding the topic at hand of...

I am interested in purchasing a pair of headphones with a budget of 1000 USD. These are the criteria I'm looking for:   Comfortable Fantastic build quality Huge soundstage Musical, not purely technical: I don't want a pair of headphones that are technically fantastic. I want a pair of...

It could also be noise related to static. After putting ferrite beads on my cables, I had considerably less static-related issues.

Right. The only thing I remember between the DT varieties is that there are differences between the premium and pro lines. I don't know if there really is a difference between the pro and studio lines though.

I don't know much about the Soloist SL, but I love the Soloist with the HD 650 and the NightHawk. 

@timind I was looking into that when I was first interested in purchasing a pair of DT 770s. I ended up with the conclusion that the second picture you posted is the older version and the top picture is the newest one. I believe that the only difference is in the cable (straight vs coiled)...

You have to keep in mind three things: 1) that there is so much misinformation out there; 2) people exaggerate differences between headphones 3)noticeable differences may only happen with high quality equipment. 1) People who haven't heard headphones recite what other people have said as fact...

Wow. It feels as if you just released Ether Flow-C. I think it is pretty incredible that your company has been outputting products at such an incredible rate.

@Bern2 Portable? I thought they leaked sound.

I can't wait to hear your opinions since it seems like you've heard just about everything.

I have a pair of NightHawks that I will hopefully get to listen to this weekend. Since people are saying that the sound is similar to the NightOwl, I may just listen to the NightHawk for a while and make a decision later.

@shurealltheway   Hmm... now I'm stuck. I was planning on getting a pair of SRH 1540s because the SRH 840 is one of my favorite headphones I've ever owned. However, these NightOwls sound like they could be what I'm looking for.
