I'm a newbie on the Head-Fi blog. My headband has become sticky. I believe it needs replacement. Does anyone know the best way to get a new one and replace it? Thanks for your help. John

to be paired with Magni + Modi... which should I choose for optimal SQ ?

A little over a year ago, I sold off my setup of a Little Dot Mk3 and Grado HF-2. Before that, I've had numerous headphones and even had the pleasure of owning an older pair of Stax. In addition, I've been to a few meets in my area and have heard many grand setups. I realize now that I dearly...

Hi,   I have a pair of DT880 03 @250ohm and I love them. But I just saw and offer of a pair of DT880 newest model for 249$ at 600ohm, at that price I just did the order. Do you think it's a good buy and do there is lot (if any) improvement when we compare to the 03 model?   Here the link...

Hey guys. I hope this is the right sub section. I've just pulled the trigger on a second 7970 graphics card which means that my Xonar STX soundcard will have to go. Current setup: Headphones: Xonar STX -> Little Dot MKIII Tube Amp -> Beyerdynamic DT880 600ohm headphones Speakers: Xonar STX...

Hey all, finally got my friend to agree to upgrade from a pair of Dixie cups tied with a string to a real set of headphones, so I picked out a set of Beyerdynamic DT880 / 600 Ohm for him.  I told him how much he was gonna like 'em, and he will, but when I asked what amp he was planning to plug...

Hi guys, this is my first post on head-fi so please bear with me.  About a year ago I bought my first set of quality headphones, dt770 pro 250 ohm and a fiio e11.  The headphones have been treating me very well, but I am looking to try something a little different.  I have my eyes set on the...

Good Day! So I received a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880 (600Ohm - Version) yesterday. I was really exited about them, so I hooked them right up with my DIY amb M^3 to give it a listen. Oddly the right channel was dead. I concluded the headphones were faulty, since the right channel didn't...

Basically, I saw the deal of $130 for ATH-A900X's a couple days ago and jumped on it instantly after some quick googling - it's commonly regarded as a clear upgrade to the M50's, and I got those for $150 (bought em last year in January). I purchased these ASAP because you never know how long...

Hey Head-Fi,   Recent joiner here and I have a couple headphones already but am looking for much more. I have the Ultrasone HFI 780s but they don't pack nearly enough punch for me and sound far too tinny; I also have the V-Moda M80s which I like a lot but am looking for an overall upgrade...

I have been searching around a lot and I'm reading a lot of inconsistency in amp recommendation for the DT880/600 ohm. I was originally going for the LD MKIII but people said it wouldn't have good synergy. Headphone amps are though to come by in my country so I guess I will have to order...

Hey guys, I've been playing around with headphones since jan 2010. I've owned quite a few in this time. However nothing has been as enjoyable as the $20 Koss KSC75. So far I have owned: DT770 - 250ohm HD650 SR60i DT880 - 600ohm Porta Pro RS1i Now don't get me wrong each of those listed...

I am looking for a new tube amp to go with my HE-500s and my DT-880s (600 ohms). I have owned a tube amp before, so I know and quite like what "tube sound" is. I currently have a budget of around $1200, though I can go a bit higher if need be. I will be using this with a Schiit Bifrost DAC, if...

I bought the Beyerdynamic DT880 600Ohm headphones and need a DAC/Amp for it. I'm going to be using it mainly with my PC, playing FLAC files. I'm willing to spend around $400 on it.   I would prefer a DAC and Amp in one unit, or maybe something like an ASUS Essence STX with an amp, but i'm...

Hi guys,   Since I bought my new audio setup a few weeks ago I've had a constant problem. Every so often (maybe 10% of the time) there is a high pitched, oscillating noise in the right ear of my headphones (beyer DT880 600 ohm), I'd say it goes between 10 KHz and 13 KHz as a rough estimate. I...

Hi Guy, I've been using these for a couple of years, and am not sure if my warranty is still valid now. Anyway, Lately I've noticed that the right earpad seems to be noticeably quieter than the left. I'm going to try a different pair of phones/source when I get home to be sure, but any ideas if...

Hi Guys, I love the way they sound, and the comfort level is great with velour pads. Unfortunately, the right headphone appears to not be matching the volume coming through the left. I'm looking to see if this can be fixed, but am also wondering about any alternative phones I could buy to use in...

Hi friends,   I love the nice sound of my (now almost a year) well burned-in 880s. What amplifier could be the finest step forward from Darkvoice 3322 for Beyer DT-880 (potential gain is expected presumably in the area of pace and rhythm, as well as in slightly stronger bass). I have the...

Hi All !! this is my first post , glad to part of the community.   I stumbled on this forum a few weeks back looking for information to assist me in my first headset purchase and boy did I find the right place, what a fantastic forum. I’m happy to hopefully also make a valuable contribution...

Bottlehead Crack + DT880/600 ohm, good synergy?  

By 'amp not an issue', I mean that will not be a problem for me.   The headphones currently in my possession and not in storage are...   ER4S (nearly perfect, though could be a touch more liquid),   modified isolating HD25 (liquid, but a little uneven and not super tight or...

Hi guys, I'm thinking in buy one tube amp for mine DT880's.   I'm actually using it with the FiiO E9+E7, I know it isnt the right combination for it, but since I didnt have much money to spend, and knew that I'll do a update soon, the combo did his best. My beyer's are the 600ohm model, and...

I am looking for a tube amp for Beyer Dynamic DT-880's 600 ohms for under $1000. The source will be Yulong Audio Crystal DA. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Alright guys, so I just signed up specifically for this question, hopefully you guys can help me out.    I'm going to be (hopefully very soon) be purchasing some 600 ohm Beyer DT 880's. The problem is, while I know how to choose headphones, I am very much a noob when it comes to amps. All I...

I picked up a pair of 600ohm DT880's off of ebay for $230 (including shipping) that were slightly used. Very good condition actually, pretty much brand new. The guy told me they had less than 100 hours.   My question is, I'm going from Xonar Essence STX through line out to a Littledot MK3...
