    Where to go after DT990

    The DT 1990 Pro has popped up on multiple occasions so it's definitely on the list, no open stores (thanks Covid) that I would like to spend that amount of money in has them though. But would you say they resemble the very clear vocals of the DT 990 or have it been dialed back a bit?

    Where to go after DT990

    So, I'm looking to go somewhere after my DT990 600ohm, I love some parts of them (vocals, comfort) but I would like a little bit more sound stage and some more depth. Essentially I only listen to female vocals in the pop and singer songwriter genre (at least 95% of my music consumption). Some...

    Closed around ear with a sound like HD660S

    I'm really happy with my HD660S but I need something that doesn't leak, obviously a closed headphone won't have the same openness but I would like something with a similar signature overall when it comes to mids and bass. I haven't tried the DT1770 Pro but I like the DT770 Pro 250. Anyone have...

    Schiit Modi (v1) and macOS 10.13

    Does anyone have this setup and got it working? I have two Modi, tested on an iMac (2017), Macbook Pro (2016) and Macbook Pro (2014). Power comes on but there's absolutely no device identification to be found anywhere, tried two diffrent USB cables, the Schiit Pyst and some generic one.

    PS4 with 3.5mm x2 Type Headset...

    Old thread, but I've seen a lot of mentions of the Mixamp, I just got the latest one (2014) and holy moly, it makes my MMX300 mic sound like a $2 toy. I've asked astro about it and they replied "Yes it will sound worse, that's how it's designed". Returning it.   The rest of you don't have this...

    USB soundcard for Mac with microphone input

    Should probably been clear about that it's an hackingtosh :) The onboard inputs are very noisy on the motherboard, but after some more testing (I tried the Mixamp pro from Astro) I'm starting to think the USB chipset is really bad, that or there's a ground loop messing things up (never had any...

    USB soundcard for Mac with microphone input

    So I'm looking for a decent quality external sound card for my Mac. I only want to use my Beyerdynamic MMX 300 with it, so it needs to have microphone input (3.5mm is what the headphones have by default).   So far I've tried the following; The Beyerdynamic recommended sound card that you can...

    As comfy as DT770 but more isolated.

    Oh, didn't even know about those, they seem to be exactly what I need :)   Might have a look at the ATH-M50 too, they're not kind on the eyes however ;)

    As comfy as DT770 but more isolated.

    The title says it all, love the comfort of the DT770 Pro but I would like it if they were a bit more isolating from outside noise. Any headphone that would sound and fit as good but isolate more?

    NuForce UDH-100

    I actually experienced another bug before I sent my unit back for a refund. I was listening to some music, put my headphones on the table, went to the kitchen (none of this actually matters of course) and when I got back the volume was almost twice as high, no change on the volume knob. I then...

    NuForce UDH-100

    Has anyone experienced issues with the drivers in Windows x64 (both 7 and 8.1)? When using WASAPI the drivers occasionally hangs for me, need to disconnect/reconnect the usb cable for it to reset, I've also had one occurrence of massive distortions in the output. Going to send it in but I doubt...

    Want something more than the DT990 (around $1000)

    Decided to go with the LCD-2 (ordered, haven't received them yet), thanks for the tips!   Edit: Received the headphones, also decided to get a NuForce UDH-100, solid DAC and an upgrade on the amplifier side from my Icon HDP. Initial impressions aren't as high as I expected, they do sound...

    Want something more than the DT990 (around $1000)

    Oh, comfort is quite important actually, I can sit for hours with my headphones on while developing. I changed the post to reflect that it was the HD650 I had previously, not the HD600.   I have been looking at the T1 a lot, for comfort it seems to be like the DT990 but a bit heavier which...

    Want something more than the DT990 (around $1000)

    I'm currently using the DT990 (600ohm) and DT770 (250ohm) but I want something more, maybe a mix of them both that expands on their capabilities. For my commute I'm using the Sennheiser Momentum, they're a bit more fun but they don't really exceed in anything. I had the HD650 before but found...
