The following table is based on measurements, not manufacturer specs.   Target SPL is 110 dB SPL. The source is assumed to output 2 V. The amp is assumed to be a voltage source (0 ohm output impedance). Voltage, current, power are RMS figures.   What do the columns mean? S@1V is the...

Hi, head-fi community. It's my first thread here. I'm looking for good headphones and surfing through other threads I stumbled on these models:   Grado SR125/225/325i Grado SR60/80i Alessandro MS1/2i Audio Technica ATH-AD900 Denon AH-D2000 Sennheiser HD 650/750 Beyerdynamic DT...

Since they've been discontinued, what's a fair price for the Denon AH-D2000 in the current market?  What are some reasonable price ranges for new and for used?   Going headphone hunting on Friday and there's a shop nearby that might have them new for $350 USD.  Thanks.  

I recently had a thread like this... but it crashed and died, so im trying to make a new one to actually get some opinions. I honestly listen to Rock, Pop, Hip Hop, Dub Step, and Rap.  I like a prominent base and an overall clear sound.   Now all i usually hear is that the ATH-M50 is the...

Same price. Which would you buy and why?

I am in the process of buying a full size headphone. I have been reading loads of reviews and I am now down to the three choices. 1. Sennheiser HD-25-1 II 2. Beyerdynamic Custom Pro one 3. Beyerdynamic DT770 32ohm Anniversary Edition   I am not a bass head but I do like my music to be...

I've been using a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 - 32ohm for the past few years.  They are the first pair of higher quality headphones I have owned and I've been extremely satisfied. However, I know I would do more listening with a pair of in-ears so I'm looking to "down-grade." I've done some...

Hello I have been searching this forum for a long time... and still cant seem to choose what headphone to buy as there are so many..   My experience is beats by dre(all versions from store) And my current headphone siberia v2 gaming. I woud like some high end headphones that have good...

Whoops, nwm. Posted in wrong forum.

Hey all!   Still pretty new here... I have a question regarding an issue that I'm surprised no one has discussed (or at least that my 'advanced search' skills were unable to find).   The issue I'm talking about is the perceived curve vs the actual curve of headphones in comparison to...

I'm a pretty average listener, using primarily my iPhone and laptop for my source most of the time, and sans amp. I've long been using my Grado 80s for home and my Sony MDR-7506 for walk-around cans when I'm not in the mood for IEMs. I'm waiting to jump up to a $200 pair and am looking at the...

Hi, i'm new here, thanks for reading me!   I'm looking for the ideal headphones for me, i can't afford not buying the perfect ones haha, i've saved a long time for these so i want to make it count!     I listen to:   Killswitch Engage A Day To Remember Daughtry Bruno Mars  Bullet For...

Hi there I just got myself some dt770s 32 ohms. With the thought that it would be loud enough on my galaxy s3 and unfortunately it is not. They are not too bad on my pc -just good enough but there's always the is quiet source here and there. And I'm assuming from my tv it we'll be fine. So I was...

I just bought both m50 and dt770 as I wanted to try a closed back headphone. I am new to this the most expensive headphones I ever owned before this was apple in-ear which are pretty good for the price IMO. Anyways I have had the m50 for a while and LOVE it, the dt 770 is 32 ohm impedence and I...

I am currently using a sennheiser PC 350 headset, and have recently acquired a new mic, and now I'm looking for new headphones.  I have narrowed my search down to these two sets of headphones: Custom One Pro's and DT 770 Pro -32 ohms edition.  Which one would be best.  Factors are listed from...

ill get a mod mic unless you have other suggestions  (need to hear footsteps in CSGO)   must be lightweight be comfortable for hours   1. sound (listen to rap music games and stuff) 2.comfort (lightweight ) 3.looks (meh whatever)   This is my first post

I am after a closed can with sound signature as close to HD650 or Fidelio X1 as possible, under $300.   After months of looking the only thing I can come up with is Beyerdynamic, which is quite bright, I think I can stand it as I have owned the DT-990 250Ohm before and after burn in (not sure...

So as it happens, I'm pretty dumb. Washed my earpads. Taped away the crud from the driver covers. Thought it a grand idea to very carefully vacuum them off. Went around the sides on lowest setting. Was thinking: "Don't go over the middle where the driver is!" Went over the middle and heard a...

Hello everyone. I've been looking for a new pair of headphones since my IEMs recently bit the dust. The only experience I have with headphones is the Pioneer MJ51, which had terrible build quality - one the speakers actually broke off the headband :mad:. So I had to turn to some IEMs that came...

First off: longtime lurker, first time poster, im glad to finally have an excuse to join :D   I am in need of some serious guiding from some knowledgeable people.   Right now i have a Beyerdynamic dt770 pro headphone, with a really bad no-name DAC. but later this year, i will be getting abit...

I have a Beyerdynamic mmx300 which im told is really a dt770(32 ohm) with a mic. I've recently purchased a xonar essence st to power it. Is my sound card good enough to use this headset to its fullest potential?

Just got those and they sound horrible at high volumes and barely have any bass...they sound nice when plugged in to my MacBook but I mainly need these for work.   I understand there are portable amps but I don't want to go that route...Are there any headphones with built-in amps or something...

Dear Fellow Head-Fiers,   I wanted to create a list of the various headphones I have to give you an idea of how they differ and chime in on my opinion of them. You may agree or disagree but this is my general view for anyone searching for headphones. This is kind of my way of giving back to...

Can anyone directly compare the bass in the 80 vs the 32 edition of these phones? Mainly without an amp. I tried the 80 and the bass just wasn't there for me. Mind you the 80's had velour pads and most 32's have pleather.
