Is there any good portable amp to drive this?  I was thinking alone headstage arrow 12se but i am not sure how good is this.  

Hi all I almost decided to listen to the music from headphones only. I have currently beyers Dt880 Pro 250 Ohm version plugged into Asus Xonar Essence STX. Sound is satisfying me for now, but I heard that dedicated headphone amp can do a lot better than this card. Many suggestions is "go for...

I decided to get the Beyerdynamics DT880 but don't know which version (250ohm or 600ohm) is best for my DAC/amp.  I have the Peachtree Nova.  Specifications for the headphone amp section (from Peachtree's website):   Headphone Amp (shared with the Pre-Out stage) Suitable for all...

hey guys, im kinda new here and just got into this new hobbie. well, i own a pair of ATH-ES7 and i recently bought an ibasso t3d amp. im using a 2nd gen 16gb ipod touch as my source. i kinda have problems telling the difference when i plug in my amp or not, it sounds exactly the same. on first...

I'm just curious what the greatest headphones that have come out are. I know "greatest" is very much based on opinions but I just wanted to see what people had to say. List whatever you want, best all-around, best sound quality, best comfort, whatever!

What do you guys suggest?  Looking to spend no more than $200.  I'm pretty much a noob here but wanna get something to start with.

I want to get some new gear for my rig. My current set up is the fiio e7+e9 combo along with denon d5000, AKG K702 and grado sr60s. I want a headphone that is basically a combination of the K702 and Denon. Which would be a can with a decent soundstage and bass. However I recently realized that...

okay so I'm a real noob at this whole thing, I'm trying to understand why it would be better to have high impedence headphones? head-fi gurus, school me please.  

Hi,   After browsing many threads here, I would like to be sure of my DT880 version, that i have been using for about 1 year now !   (I don't own any multimeter)   On my DT880 premium (not pro) which was said to be the 32 ohms one (mentioned on the box), there is nothing written on...

Hey guys, I'm getting into the music stuff lately (well actually I've been making electronic music for about a year now) and I need some studio monitor headphones, because I've been monitoring only on my Koss PortaPros that broke recently. I heard that the Audio Technica ATH-M50 are great. I...

I've had my heart set on a pair of DT880s (look at sig) and I've recently come accross the DT770s. They seems to be very simliar in price of the DT880s but are closed instead of semi-open. Can anyone tell me what kind of difference in sound they each have? I'm not considering the DT770s...

Hello All,   Making a final decision in going for the A900xs or the DT880 250 Ohm. Any opinions are welcome. I also need to find the cheapest place to buy either. Any coupon/price reduction would be nice. Thanks!

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...

I'm looking for headphones where sound quality is not a factor. i just want as much sound cancellation as possible + maximum comfort. I'm not really sure where to go, since most reviews factor in noise quality, which is something i just don't care about in the pair that i'm looking for (i...

My current sound setup is ad700's paired with a xonar essence stx. I'm looking to upgrade, and I just wanted to know what headphones would be a good upgrade for me and my soundcard could still handle well.   lets say my budget is $250 and below, but preferably less than $200 USD  ...

This Headfonia round-up of the DT880, HD650 and K701;   http://www.headfonia.com/old-school-trio-akg-k701-beyer-dt880-sennheiser-hd650/3/   ...seems to suggest that the HD650 has a 'much weightier' bass presence than the DT880?   However, I currently own both, and cannot hear that...

So I have now owned... I think 6 mid fi cans, all said to have linear sound signitures and on overall impression of neutrality. Seeing as I didn't get much help [outside the obvious] I chucked a $500 paycheck into a FURRY of purchases and re sales!   In the end I've owned 7 headphones that...

I've been lurking for a while and bought a set of Grado sr80's five months ago based on the recommendations in this list http://www.head-fi.org/a/headphone-buying-guide and I absolutely loved them whenever my roommate wasn't watching tv or making some kind of noise. I can usually turn them up...

These two headphones are going to be my first major high end headphones if I were to buy one of them, I currently have a Superlux HD688B (Modded).  Do you people think that the HE-400 price is right or get the less expensive HE-300.  Buying the HE-400 is going to put a dent in my wallet but I...

Hi, What is the best beyerdynamic headphone? What is the difference between the DT880, DT770 and DT990? Are the DT880's closed-back? if so are they good at noise reduction/leakage? I am basically looking for really durable headphones but I noticed that the cables for the DT880 aren't...

Hi everyone, I'm a new user to Head Fi, but I have been lurking for quite a while, so without further ado... I need a pair of headphones between $100-250; I've considered the Shure SRH840s, AKG Q701s, Beyerdynamic Custom One Pros, DT770s and ATH M50s. I mostly listen to metal, but I have a...

Hello,   I've been using garbage headphones and other audio equipment for a while now and have decided I want to invest some money into getting something better. I am hoping to spend around $300 for a good pair of head phones. So far it seems it is between the Sennheiser HD 598's and the AKG...

Hello to everyone, I am new on the forum :) have been reading only for a few days this forum that i just discovered to find out which headphone should i buy.     I will start by saying a few things that may help you to help me        I listen to practically every kind of music...
