Hello everyone.    I finally decided to jump onto the high quality headphone ship with the Beyerdynamic DT770 80 ohm Pros. They're really really nice so far, and after a bit of wearing them, I think I'll get used to their clamping pressure more as well (but I've already bent them out a bit). ...

Hmm... Okay, sounds reasonable. Does the 80 ohm model sacrifice on sound quality though? Or on something else (I hear about sibilance)? I'll see if I can get the 80 ohm version then, and depending on the development on the amp situation, maybe the 250 ohm. Thanks a lot!

Okay, thanks for that. I'm not sure yet, that's the problem. I'm looking into various options, even getting IEMs and not headphones at all, but if I can and the budget allows, I'd get the iBasso D4, a little dot Mk Ii and the dt 770 250 ohm pros (only ones I can get locally). But since there are...

Okay, problem is, the price on the auction just spiked, and is at about 50 bucks now... is it worth it to bid?   True, the 600 ohm version is available used locally, the 250 ohm or 80 ohm professional ones (even the 32 ohm) are available locally new. I would like to have a good balance...

Thanks for your response. I've been considering the portability factor more, driving 600 ohm models portable will be the problem, I really don't have a problem with them being large and all that, I'm the kind of person that carries a full dslr with 3 lenses around with me too :P. What's the...

Okay, thanks a lot! I'm also eyeing a dt 770 600 ohm on an online auction. It's in good shape and currently at 120 francs / dollars but rising slightly. I'm considering them more seriously for their closed design, something I think I'll prefer. Also, I was thinking I should get a more...

Thanks again,   I've been looking more closely at the DT 770 actually, because of their closed design. Which one would you recommend there? I'm looking into the Pros (80 or 250 ohm) which are available locally at a fair price. Any preference, and again, could I drive the 80 without an amp and...

Hello knowledgeable head-fi'ers I would appreciate some advice. I would like to upgrade my sound system, and already purchased a xonar d2x sound card as a dac. I'm also looking into the little dot mk ii headphone amp. I've somewhat narrowed down my headphone choice to the beyerdynamic dt...

Thanks for your reply PurpleAngel,   Okay, so I'll try to aim for a 600 ohm version, and I think I do not mind the slightly emphasised bass and treble for the 990, but we'll see. There is a 990 600 ohm used for 200 swiss francs (about the same in $) to be had locally. Is that a good deal?  ...

I'm looking into a similar set-up. As far as my research has shown, the Beyer DT 990 and 880 both like tube amps a lot, so you cannot go wrong with those. I must say however, I don't have any experience with them, so this is based on research. Also, you might not like the tube-sound, so be...

Hello Forum,   I'm fairly new to audio, and just recently got interested in this subject. I've been an enthusiastic techy, from building my own computers to photography, 3D and programming, and now audio interests me. I want to improve my audio at home, and with Christmas coming up, I might...
