I have soldering experience but never trimmed a cable before, was just curious what i would need to know.  How do i tell which wire is audio left and right?  What about the ground wire, are the ground wires on the dt880 grounded at the plug end, or the headphone can end? ( Does it need to be...

So I came across an add one Craigslist of a brand new pair of DT 880s for $250. I've been wanting to try a pair of Beyers, and I'm pretty sure they're legit. I just want to know what year/model they are. They are not the newest ones, I know that much. They have a flat grill rather than a rounded...

now before the influx of GET GRADOS I recently sold off my 80i's in hopes of getting some vintage RS-2. That quickly went out the window and I have herd pretty polarizing things about the rs-2i and rs-1i; not to mention I HATE the sibilance of the 80i's and 325is. Some say that the rs-x series...

I'll start by saying that I love my 990 Pro's sound wise, but the comfort does pinch a bit, and the high highs are a tad harsh....bass can be a little harsh at times too....overly rumbly....   BUT   I love the detail, omg i adore the instrument seperation and wider soundstage!     So...

I currently run a Xonar Essence STX with some dt880/600's via the headphone out.  I feel the upgrade itch and am ready to make my next move.     I have been drooling over a Woo Audio 3 for quite some time, and am considering it.    However, I realized I have yet to dink around with the...

So my replacement ear pads came in today. They came with 2 pieces of replacement black foam that goes under the ear pads, along with instructions on how to replace it. Except they are very basic and the pictures don't help very much at all. I can't figure out how to get the "ring" thats locking...

Hey Everyone,   This is my first post or blog or anything ever so I hope this works. I'm looking to buy a new set of headphones. It's kind of become my hobby lately. The only good pair I own is a pair of Shure SRH840's and a Udac2. I really like the sound and all but I think I'm looking for...

After reading quite a bit on these forums, I finally decided to purchase Beyerdynamic HD880/600ohm with a woo audio 3 amplifier. I have my source connected to a fireaudio spitfire DAC, which then feeds the WA3. I just hooked up the amp today. The problem is, I get almost no sound out of the...

Wondering where I can get the same exact gold plated screw on 3.5mm to 1/4" adaptor? Does anyone know?  

Hello everyone! How are you guys doing?   I'm a total noob at the whole headphone business, so I come here to ask for your help! I recently purchased(yesterday) a DT880 250 ohm and now I want the 600 ohm, cant' return it as I threw away the box because it wouldn't fit in my backpack(I have a...

  Hello everyone, I’m new to Headfi, have been reading threads on this forum for some time finally decided to make an account. I’ve been into music and sound for some time but have just recently discovered the world of headphones. I promise I won’t be a troll and make repetitive threads. IF I...

...hallo i would to change the original cushions, very very comfortable, with a leather pair. do i have to aspect some improvement? and what's about the comfortably? thanks have a good weekend!

First off, I'm incredibly new to amps. It's almost overwhelming trying to digest everything, so try to take it easy on me.   Anyway, I was originally going to grab an Asus Xonar STX to power my Beyerdynamic DT880 - 600 ohm headphones and Swan M200MkIII speakers. The speakers are probably a...

Hi Guys   I’m looking to replace my damaged Grado 125's (beyond repair).  From what I read and for my £100 price, a lot of people seem to think the Grado SR80I is about the best bet at this price.  Thing is I liked the Grade’s, but they are not very comfortable, leak sound like crazy but did...

hi all! im iso new headphones for mostly gaming (some fps mostly rpgs/rts) ive heard good things about these 3 but cant decide which 1 to pick i wont have enough for an amp if i go with the akg or beyer but i will probly get an e9 later on all my headphones have been generic 10$-20$ so...

Some or an IEM that could be a portable choice with the same (for me) balanced sound spectrum of Beyerdynamic dt880?

A little while ago I was fortunate enough to receive a 2 month review model of a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro (250 ohm) headphones to review next to my AKG K701. Both are fantastic mid level headphones that many head-fier's find themselves going back and forth on which to purchase. This review...

Hi,   I've had this setup for a few days now and I'm really enjoying it. I've decided to play around with the gain switches and found some subtle, yet audible, differences. In particular I find the result using setting 5 awesome. It really gives a soul to these headphones, while I found the...

So I read, lurked, browsed, compared, and researched, until I decided that the DT880 (600ohm) will likely be my next upgrade.  Of course, unlike my previous headphones (ATH-AD700s, which I loved), they will need some decent amping to work.  What would make a good desktop dac/amp for $250?  The...

So I am debating between the HD598 and the DT880 (600ohm). I listen to a lot of pop-punk, punk, elctronica, indie, and some dubstep. Not looking for bass that shakes my face but I want to feel each bass kick and the full range of the drums. Thought? Thanks guys. 

So, I posted last month trying to figure out what amp I should get for my dt880 250ohm.... I was looking at RSA portables...   I've come to the conclusion I'm going to buy the Beyerdynamic A1 and get a portable later. It seems to me to be the best most "neutral" response that caters to me...

  Hi everyone!   This is less of a formal review, and more of my thoughts on these headphones. This is not a scientific review in any way, shape, or form. This is all my personal opinion.   Perhaps this can be useful to a fellow noob or at the very least provide some unboxing pictures...

I don't know if something is wrong with my HD650 or not, but when comparing the sub bass response to that of my 2005 DT880 on sub-bass heavy tracks such as Massive Attack's 'Angel' - I can definitely hear more impact and quantity on the DT880's on the lowest of notes (such as the introduction...

  I have been changing my gear up a bit and decided to compare the (1) AKG k702; (2) Beyerdynamic DT880 (600); and the Shure SHR840 on a set-up that consists of: PC - Udac2 - Burson HA-160.  In respect of burn in all the gear has at least a couple hundred (or more) hours on it.  I have doing...
