huh, i must have miss read/got a bad review then. Either way

So, I currently have the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO's. I love the sound and I find them comfortable and they have been great headphones. But my living situation has changed and now there is a bit of outside sound and its bothering me. So I'd like to move from open back to closed back. I considered...

So I got a pair of S5s that I enjoy, but I got them used, so it's missing a lot of tips. My favorite of what I had was the double flanged ones but they just broke. I'd like to buy some new tips, but I wouldn't even know where to look. I don't care for foam tips, so comply is kind of off the...

And with a total of $237, a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-990-Pro-250's and a Schiit Magni are on their way! Thanks again!

Great. I'm talking to a guy about one now. Thank you for the help! I am so excited!

Sorry for the slow response. That's awesome! I'm pretty much sold at this point. I'd be using them on a regular ole desktop pc. That's about it. I don't have a dedicated sound card or anything. Would a Schiit Magni work?

 Quote: Alright, cool. Thank you. Can you point me in a direction of an amp that would work? I'm pretty much ignorant about amps. I've heard good stuff about the whole magni/modi thing but thats about it.

So, I have for a long time now lived in a house hold that is very busy and loud and because of that have never owned a pair of open back headphones. So That is what I am looking for! I have a pair of Shure SHR840's and love how they sound so anything similar to that is welcome. I want them to be...

Yea, i dont really have anything to drive them. No amp or anythying like that. 

Wow, thank you! I'll check them out

Hey, I'm looking for some new headphones. I've had a pair of Shure SRH840's for a while and I love them, but they're getting a bit old and I kinda just want some new headphones to be honest. I really like how the SRH840's sound, the only thing I would add is a tiny bit more bass. So I'd like to...

Alright. I'll definetly have to look into it. I've heard good things about the Schiit Magni as well. 

Unfortunatley no amp. What kind of price would I have to spend for a decent one?

Hey everyone. I have had my Shure SRH840's for a little over a year now and I love them to death; however, the right ear is beginning to short out. They are certainly still usable but I'm just thinking about whats next. The sound of the SHR840 is amazing and I want to stick to something like...

Alright. So i can probably get the jack fixed, i just wasn't sure if it was something that i needed. But now i realize that until i get the modi i cant bypass the jack. Everything is making sense! Thank you very much for all of your help!

Oh. okay. That makes sense now that i think about it. Because the dac doesnt have a jack... haha. I have a laptop, how would the amp be hooked up to my laptop? Oh and my headphone jack on the computer got messed up. 

So, ive been looking in to getting one. Seems to be amazing for the price. The only thing is that right now i can't buy the whole thing. So my question is that is it possible for me to use just the Modi without any amp? I hope this isn't a dumb question. Just trying to figure stuff out. I dont...

Quote: So if im right the Magni part is the amp, and the modi part is the dac?

So here is my issue. I'm just starting to really get into the high end audio stuff and i'm kinda getting confused. Right now i own a pair of Shure srh840s. they are great but im looking for something with more bass, so i may go with the hifiman he-400's but that isn't right now but rather in the...

Quote: Okay, do they have a removable cable? i cant tell. And what amp/dac would you recommend? would a fiio e07k work?

Quote: Maybe i should of put some kind of budget... haha. Lets just say absolute maximum would probably be around $500 or so for everything. But i am willing to go over.

Good day headfiers! looking for some help here. I am looking to upgrade headphones. Right now i have a pair of shure srh840's. and i love them to death! But i'm looking for something a little different. Right now i dont any amp or dac. That is another place where i need help. i want a pair of...

Quote: Thanks. Yea, i am on that same road currently. Guess we will see what the ent has to say.

I love the headphones to death. I really do. As for portable use... eh. Not so much. Its just the cable can get to be so long and cumbersome. Is there any other shorter and possibly straight cables available?

Just a side note but Bose isn't "bad" but rather overpriced for the performance of the headphones. There is much better headphones for much cheaper.
