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...

Hi,   I'm thinking of getting a sound card, but not sure if it really matters for my setup/use.   I have a on board soundcard (ASRock Z68 Pro3 board) with FiiO E10 dac/amp for my Beyerdynamics DT770 Pro (80ohm) and Philips Fidelio S2. I use it to listen music and play games.   Thanks...

I'm looking for a closed headphone with a similar sound to Sennheiser's HD558. I'd love more bass too. I need non pleather pads too as pleather causes a bit of sweat and get uncomfortable. I've tried the Beyerdynamic DT770 80 and 250 ohms but the midrange wasn't as good as my HD558's. I'm...

I've been listening to the Beyer's for a while now, but recently the Philips Fidelio X1 has caught my eye. They were recommended in another thread, and I'm curious to try an open back headphone, because I never have before.   However, $230 is kind of steep. If the sound signature or sound...

I'm quite knowledgeable about audio equipment until it comes to DACs and amps. I'm going to be purchasing the Grado sr80i's and I hear that they work best with an amp just like every headphone. Should I spend that money on an amp instead? I own Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80ohm headphones, and I know...

Hello I have been reading all very much for here and it turns out that after the death of my westone um3x walk looking for a closed earphone of comfortable quality and obviame of good sound I use com repro a fiio x3. I like a sound with serious sharp detailed but that it sounds also well the...

Closed headphones are so important, they give the user freedom to listen to music whenever, wherever. While open headphones are superior sonically, they are most unpractical when used in public for obvious reasons.       I would like to dedicate this thread for users to nominate their...

Hey,   So after using them for a couple of weeks i have to say they are rather good headphones but theres just one thing thats bugging me and that is to do with the sound stage. Im not too sure how to explain it but here goes. Basically, ive been playing CS:GO alot lately and i have noticed...

So I have the Beyers and my girl has the M50's. One day I spent about 30 minutes switching them out comparing them. To me, (from a newbs standpoint) the M50's seemed louder, almost more "in your face" if that makes sense, and the bass more prominent. I read the mids of the M50's are more...

Wondering if there were better headphones around the $200 CAD range.

Preferably ones that barely need an amp.

Is that straight cable really that expensive? Hahaha

All-purpose studio headphones are closed (for monitoring) and must translate well to near-field monitors (for mixing/mastering). Ideally, they should also be comfortable and durable. I thought it could be interesting to make a list of the top contenders, regardless of price. I try to list only...

Hey everyone!    I recently got the pristine opportunity to do a review on Phiaton's Bridge MS500 headphones.   Oh. My. Goodness.   Truly, these are my new favorites. Massively better than the M50, and even surpasses my previous favorites, the DT770 Pro.   I mean, have you *seen* them...

A couple weeks ago I decided to look into a new pair of cans. The ATH-A700x and A900x took my attention for a short time, but I didn't want a repeat of my past experience. The A700's I had owned a few years ago left a lot to be desired in the bass department. Many years ago, before I bought a...

I used to own a pair of AH-D1100 for some years, I enjoyed the sound but the build quality was horrible, and I never really got used to wearing them. Had to take them off or re adjust them every 10 minutes or so.   I just bought a pair of DT-770 Pro today because I heard beyerdynamics made...

(This might be overkill research/nit picking as the item is a simple one, but I just want to be sure for peace of mind.)   I am getting my pair of Beyer DT 770 Pro modified to have a detachable cable; it will be terminated with a Switchcraft 3.5mm plug (nickel plated). As I am no longer able...

So i am upgrading from sony xb500's and am down to these two options. I want headphones that still have significant bass but are more refined overall than the xb500's. I will be using them with my smartphone and laptop. I would use a portable amp like the e11 with the dt770's wich brigns them...

Hopefully theres someone to point me to what im looking for.. I currently have some Superlux HD668B.. which are OK but find them a bit uncomfortable if i wear them for longer than an hour or so (ive changed the pads to velvet ones).   I mainly listen to streamed music from deezer @ 320kbps...

I purchased a pair of ATH-M50's and I was only using a pair of AKG 518 headphones. I don't know if my expectations were too high or they are overrated? The only thing that comes out from songs is the overpowering treble, overshadowed mids and very very weak bass. I can't even hear bass at 20hz...

I have a pair of ATH M50's and I wanted to upgraded to Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO. Does anyone know if these headphones in this video are the 80 ohm version or the 250?   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0QBqJaN2qg at 4 min 30 secs.

Hi Guys I'm not terribly clued up on full size phones but do like my IEMs, particularly my Hippo VB for gym use with their divine sub/mid bass thump. Likewise I've also owned Atrios, so you may get a feel for the sound I like. I've grown quite a hobby of late in learning Ableton Live 9 for...

Hi, I own a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro 80 ohm and I would like to upgrade to open headohones because people says that they sound better. My budget is $250. Any recomendations?

so I will be using a astro mixamp and a turtle beach xp seven audio control unit to test them both and see which is better for the surround sound processing and overall experience and immersion. I will be using the beyerdynamic dt770/80. since the astro mixamp is rated for 32 ohms I will also...

So right now i got Xonar DS sound card and i want to know if its worth to upgrade to fiio e10. Xonar DS has Chipset Wolfson WM8776  Specs:http://www.wolfsonmicro.com/documents/uploads/data_sheets/en/WM8776.pdf Fiio E10...
