Hi All,   After spending HOURS reading threads on this great forum, decided on the DT880's.  Got them, burned them in for 100 hours, and they just didn't do it for me.  They were a bit bright and sterile sounding.   Then decided to try the HD650's.   Bingo.   Much more organic...

How well would they work together? Or should I dongrade to the 250 Ohms. I can also upgrade the OPAMP if that will help. Help please :)

I'm interested in hearing from anyone currently using 600 Ohm Beyerdynamic DT 880s with a NuForce Icon HDP.   I have the Beyer DT150 @ 250 ohms & they work great with the HDP.   I now want to purchase the DT 880.  I feel that the 600 ohm version is the best impedance choice,  but may...

hi there,    looking to upgrade from my ibasso D10 to something a little more powerful. it hasnt left my desk for almost 2 years and im thinking it would be best to sell the little blighter and get a full blown desktop amp.    i use both the USB and optical inputs on the D10 and the AUX...

Hello everyone, been a long time lurker of this forum and it's been a valuable asset for deciding on purchases, for that I want to thank all of you! This is my first post here.   About 4 months ago I purchased a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880 600 ohm headphones, they were incredibly bright out...

Hello all, I've had amazing help on this forum so far, and I'm nearly done researching to purchase my new pair of cans (my first ever audiophile grade ones, yay!)   My previous thread can be found here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/593980/400-budget-looking-for-a-good-pair-of-cans   From the...

Basically, I've been digging a huge research mine in my own head over the past month or so. Just two days ago I was sold on the DT880 600ohm, and Asus STX combo (best for my needs atm)   I've started to look for where to buy them, but a local store has offered me a very good deal on the...

Which one sounds better? Could you go into the detail of their signature sound and stuff like that? and which music style is better for one of the headphones? I listen to pretty much everything except Electronic type music.   Thanks.

I've been reading the forums trying to come up with a good amp and DAC combo that I can use with the K702 for under $600.  I also want to add a DT880 600Ohm to my headphone stable and it would be great if the amp will be good for both. Can anyone make any suggestions for a good US or European...

Other thing i've been worried about: I'm going to have the Fiio E17 soon. It supports up to 300mw headphones (??). with that having been said..   Would the 250ohm version "sound" better than the 600ohm, because it's "potential" will be used better? or am i wrong? and still- the...

They sound great, look great, they're comfortable, light, not real expensive...  what's not to like?  So why do I get the impression that many people here just don't like them?   If you don't like them, tell us why.

The main genre of music I like is rock and metal, in this case, I would choose a grado. However, I want a headphone with a bigger soundstage and more bass than the grado. I will also be using these headphones a lot for gaming, so I need a good soundstage for imaging and a decent bass impact. I...

Hey guys need your help with this. I just bought a new soundcard to satisfy my gaming urges and give me a better edge in competitive (RPG/RTS) gaming while not limiting my ability to listen to my heavy metal (which won't be done often from the cans) or playing other games casually.   More or...

I got this set to use with a Line6 POD HD guitar amplifier modeler, because its spec sheet says to use headphones with a 150-600 ohm impedance.   Up until now i've been using the Grado SR80 (32 ohm), and the Senn HD280 Pro (64 ohm).   I've noticed a problem with the high notes when...

Looking to switch out my headphone and try the HE-400.  Would it be much of an upgrade going from the DT-880 to the HE-400.  Also, I don't want to keep too many phones, so not sure if I would sell the DT-880 or the Denon D2000 after I purchase the HE-400.  I hate Head-Fi, gives me too much...

Hi, I've spend a few days going through old threads on this forum and got a lot of useful information. There are a lot of threads on dac/amp for dt880 (600 ohm) so I would not repeat and go into this but instead would like some advice on integrated amp.   I understand a dac+amp would be...

I already ordered the Audioengine D1, but got an oportunity to get some DT880s (600ohm) from a fellow head-fier(stocked!!) but the problem is now I need an amp, I really don't have a budget (as in I have no money) but I'm selling some of my xbox games to cash some money, my budget is around $150...

old thread

This is a request for a recommendation for a new pair of headphones, with several preferences.   My current equipment includes:   Main: PC>Maverick Audio D1+>headphones Transportable: PC>ODAC>Altoids Cmoy (OPA2227)>headphones   My main genres of music are rock (Led Zeppelin, Pink...

Hello Head-Fi, I just purchased a pair of DT880 600ohms and I had thought that my vintage receiver would power them fine, but the audio sounds a bit muddy, it doesn't sound very clear or not what I expect from $300 headphones. I use a Behringer UCA202 ($25 DAC), which I think will work just fine...

Since I can't find any comparisons on these 2 headphones, I'd figured I might as well just ask. In my country there's a litmited offer on the (discontinued) D2000's and I was previously looking at the Beyer DT880 and I would've coupled them with an e9k . Now I'm doubting wich to get. The...

Hi dudes,   I figure all the pain and research I've gone through can be helpful to someone, so here goes:   ---   Chapter 1: How it all began:   I bought some DT-880 600 ohm's to upgrade from my ATH M-50's on Amazon for $245 thinking I just landed myself a steal. I have spent a...

Hi guys,   I currently use my headphones for music, tv/movies and gaming so I need a good all round setup. I current have the setup listed in the title but am thinking of upgrading.   My understanding is that the DAC in the Titanium HD is very good and so probably the weakest link is the...

So I've narrows down my selection to these to beauties. Now I know one is clos and the other is open; I listen to all kinds of music, but if I were to choose which type of genre I listen to more it would probably be indie/alternative. My budget is 300 dollars so both of these headphones are...

Hello all   I am about to buy these headphones, I tested them and I like them. It is possible that in the future I will also buy the reccommended Fiio e09k amplifier but for now I'm only thinking about buying headphones only. I got no technical knowledge about what is important for...
