Hello, I use an Audio-gd NFB-12 as my dac and amp, and until recently used the Beyerdynamic DT880 Premium 600 ohm.  Before those I used the Sennheiser HD485s.   After about 6 months, I've recently sold the DT880s as I came to the conclusion that the sound was not to my tastes.  I've always...

   Totally overwhelmed by the choices and decisions I'm facing as I consider buying a new pair of headphones and potentially an amp or dac/amp combined.   I have once owned a pair of HD650s and a Rega Ear amp years ago. It was a nice setup though they always sounded a little dark/far-away...

Hi guys!   I'd just like some closure on what headphones to end up buying. My current headphones are closed Shure SRH440s and while they were a great upgrade at the time I think I'm ready to step it up and get more serious about my audio   I've narrowed it down to the HE-400s and DT880s...

Hey guys,   Just a quick question regarding the DT880's and how much power they need (specifically for the 600 ohm version).   My current DAC is the Focusrite Saffire 6 USB which has the following specs on the headphone output:     Headphone Outputs Frequency Response: 20Hz-20KHz...

My apologies if this is a noobish question but why are the dt880s more expensive than both the dt770s and the dt990s.  Maybe I am making a mistake in assuming that cost is correlated with the model number but I would have thought that the dt990s would be the most expensive out of the three.

Ok so I have a quandary for you to ponder. The basics are this; I have a pair of ath m50 that need repair (broken cable and such). Subsequently I have decided to get a new set of headphones, an upgrade of some type. I edit and mix for films, sometimes professionally sometimes not. I love alt...

Hey gang!   I'm one of these sensitive head chaps and find that many 'phones irritate the top of my head after a short time. I know that are headband replacements for the Beyerdynamic DT 770/880/990 Pro line, but those don't fit the Premium versions.   Does anyone know of a comfy...

I've had my DT880 pros (with a Fiio e6) for several months now, and I've recently noticed a very quiet but very noticeable ringing noise. At first I thought it was just my ears, but when I lifted up one cup off my ear, I could hear the ringing in the other ear but not that one. It seems to go...

Hi,   i am about fixing my good old beyerdynamic. It worked perfectly until my left channel was just sometimes working or when I pressed my finger against the upper area of the cable, where the cable entries the headphone. So i guess that there is a dodgy plug or contact. Anyway I have to...

[Edit] Dang I just realized this should have went to the amp subsection. My bad guys.   Hey guys, I know some of you may say that this has been discussed already, but there are a few finer points that I want to hammer out which I haven't found an answer to.   I have already decided on...

i wonder how this song will sound through my beyers hmmm...? -.^     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbimfBar5C0&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I did the same mod to my pair of DT770 Pros. I got my DT880s and missed my detachable cable, so....                       Lumberg 3.5mm jack                     V-Moda Cable :)  

  Hi fellas,   I've gone through countless of threads on the archives but couldn't find anything conclusive. I do realize this is subjective, but in general which is a superior sounding can, more natural, better bass, more refined highs, whatever, the DT880 Pro or Consumer version?  ...

After a trip to the headfone shop (here in Toronto) and trying out pretty much every headphone there (thanks again Charles) I decided on the DT 880s (250 ohms).  It really came down to the 880's, Sen HD 598 and Ultrasone 750 and the 880's just sounded better and the comfort was just perfect. ...

Hello everyone,   I have a Beyerdynamic DT880 Edition 250 Ohm headphone. Right now I'm listening to it through a plain external sound card.   Soon I'll upgrade my listening source with these equipments:   DAC: HRT Music Streamer II...

Greetings All   I am looking for some input to help narrow my search for a new set of full size phones   My Parameters and Gear I am looking to spend something under $500 and would prefer to land under $400 if possible I listen to a wide variety of genres and sources Genres include...

Hello all,    Long story short, I have self-diagnosed with the upgrade bug and am considering my next move for full size cans from the DT 880 (250ohm).    I am new to the scene and after much research and perusing of forums, my setup consists of:   imac ~> HRT Music Streamer II + ~>...

There's a lot of discussion between the DT880 Pro vs Premium's scattered in a bunch of different threads but no conclusion I could find. From my understanding the only difference is the aesthetics, headband, and straight vs coiled cable. I read somewhere that the Pro's have more bass due to the...

Hello , I,am looking for technical information about this model: DT-880S Studio. (80,s)   Is this model 250 ore 600 Ohm. Thanks for info and help. Bart.Wolters.

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...

Hey all, new to the forums and high-end headphones.  I recently upgraded to my current audio setup in August and September.  Did a lot of reading on here before I decided on the A1 for my amp.  The Beyers were pretty much decided on from the start, just read so many good things about them.  I've...

I am using a Leckerton UHA-6S.MKII with my HD600 and considering a DT880. Which to choose 250 or 600 ohm?

I currently have an MBox 2 interface http://www.zzounds.com/item--DGDMB2 and was wondering if anyone knows if it has enough power to drive headphones like DT 880 250 ohms?

I got into a discussion with someone about 701's vs 880 and was talking about how much forward the 701's bass is in comparison. Long story short they disagreed so I went and pulled the frequency graphs and sure enough my observations were true, but only comparing 250ohm 880 (what I own) to Q701...

I'm wondering if my E7 would be able to drive some DT 880s (250Ω)? Nwavguy says the E7 has better gain on digital inputs than on lines-in, but is that good enough to drive these? (To disambiguate, I don't use lines-in – it's all digital) If this is a bad choice, what would be a good choice in...
