I just received the K550 yesterday. I'll do a comparison test w/ the DT770 Pro. First impressions are great. The K550 looks and feels fantastic. They are really a work of art. They're solid, the band is metal, and they're very comfortable. The pads are pleather, but I don't mind them. I've been...

I like it. I'm no art critic, but here's something you might want to consider: the text. It's a bit harsh on the background. It doesn't 'fade in' to the back ground, which gives it noticeable edges. I think that makes it less pleasing to look at (though it feels 'retro', in a sense).    Take...

Thanks for the awesome response, Evshrug. My discomfort with the 770s seems to stem from my lack of experience with any low frequencies lol. I've never had any bass heavy (or closed) cans, nor have I ever owned a subwoofer (apartment life <--- the reason I got into headphones). I'll do exactly...

Quote: I haven't seen much praise for it's isolation/leakage performance. From what I've read, 'semi-open' might as well just be 'open' (at least, for the 880s). When I was looking for open cans, these were at the top of my list. I meant to try them, but got the HD598s and enjoyed them so...

Quote: I must be so used to open headphones, then. The 770s seal really well, so that must be the reason for the discomfort. I've worn them on and off for about 2 hours every day for the past 4 days. I still can't say they're I've gotten used to them yet. I'll give them another week and see...

Hey everyone.   I'm back in the world of headphones after selling most of my old stuff. I've been through an AD700, HD598, and HD558, all through a Mixamp. After listening to my crappy Logitech 2.0 speakers for the better part of a year, anything is an upgrade. At first, I tried to resist...

Quote: I wish I could find some. There's only one on eBay for $550 from the UK, which is pretty much out of my price range. Everywhere else, it's pretty much gone:-(

Hey everyone.    After listening to my crappy 2.0 Logitech speakers for so long, I've decided that it's time to buy a new pair of headphones. Over the years, I've owned a few decent headphones, which I use about 70/30 for gaming and music respectively. These were the HD598, HD555, and the...

I sold my Mixamp about 2 years ago, along with my AD700s, so I all I've been using is my crappy monitor's built in speakers. Sadly, my monitor died of old age, and it was time for a new gaming setup.  After a long time away from headphone gaming, I finally bought a Mixamp and a pair of KSC75s...

Looks like I may end up getting the Stax then. A played a few rounds of COD4 yesterday, and something occured to me: There was just so much gunfire going on I could barely hear my footsteps, let alone the enemies footsteps. I think that a phone with a bass response a little better than the...

Dude, they both will end up costing around $520 dollars, so I won't be saving any money buying a dynamic setup.

I will also use them for music, but probably 30% music and 70% gaming. I live in an apartment, so I can't have a surround sound system blasting all the time (believe me, I tried it and the neighbors were not real happy), so this is why I want a headphone setup. I also love to hear the minor...

I'm pressed between two setups. I'm mainy going to be gaming, using a setup like this: PS3/360 ----- (Toslink/optical)---> Astro Gaming Mixamp----> Headphone setup I am torn between these two: DT880 and Little Dot MKIV or STAX SRS-2050A (headphones and amp). Which one would be...

^ How come Duggeh? PriceJapan.com

Instead of the DT880 and Little Dot MKIV, I found these: STAX SRS-2050A They should roughly be the same price, and I hope they are good (around $500 shipped). How would the soundstage and bass compare to a dynamic setup? Will I need a voltage transformer for these? Btw, they look quite...

I was going to buy a DT880 and a Little Dot MKIV, but this has intrigued me. How good would a stax setup around $500 be compared to this? The main thing I'm looking for is soundstage and precise imaging.

To anyone who has owned these headphones, which has the better soundstage? Also, could you please make a short list of the differences between the two? I believe the DT990 is the higher model, but why it costs less confuses me.

Still no repsonse from the seller, so I guess I should wait till tommorow. The SE may be worth the extra money if it has better tubes and that "mod". I was thinking of getting this combonation: DT880 MKIV Black Silver Cable Since the MKIV is a tube amp, it should make the sound a...

^ Well, the I am also considering the some other amps as well. What is a DAC for? Is it to connect to the computer? Penchum: Which of the Little dot amps do you think has a wider soundstage/imaging, the MKIV or the MKV?

I messaged jasmine_chine about the differnces between the 336i and 336SE. I'll post back later with the response, but I think the stock tubes look like they are changed. If the 336i sounds "tubier" than the 332, Id rather have the 336i because the DT880 are very analytical, correct? Id...

Which would be the better choice? I will be using it with a Beyerdynamic DT880. I am looking for the one with better soundstaging/imaging. In the future I might consider tube rolling, but not as soon as I get the amp. Thanks for your help!

The Darkvoice Figaro's are around $159.99 on ebay, but the shipping is around $60. 2008 Brand New Darkvoice Headphone Tube amp--Figaro - eBay (item 370027008240 end time May-26-08 06:34:56 PDT) You'll find some reviews on here if you search.

AD700's are what I bought for gaming a month ago. I absolutley love them. The soundstage is large, and they are very clear. They have very little bass though (I mean VERY little), but some see this as a pro, others see it as a con. As much as I love them, the more I browsed these forums the...
