Any opinions or conclusions on whether the Dt880 unamped still does better than the new sr80e , or are they at par ? Price considerations aside , which set of cans are more suited for rock and heavy metal songs ?

Currently running a Rotel RA-05 SE. Plenty of power, but the woman wants something more compact since I've taken over one end of the dining table with my listening space... And besides, I'm craving tubes for the DT880.   Based on what I've read, the Woo Audio WA3 has emerged as a front-runner...

Can someone help me out with my LD MK3: I have finally received the amp - I have restrengthened the grip of the tubes, put both DIP switches at ON 1 (normal 5 setting, for my 250Ohm DT880) and let the amp warm up for 30mins. The music hasn't changed much and sounds *very* distorted. The...

I am currently in the market for a new setup. I listen to to almost all genres of music and I am a very analytical listener. I own the Meelectronics A161 and I hope to continue to use it. This is what lead me to the Dt-880 Pro. I have read that it is a very analytical headphone and I think that...

Hello everyone, I am a noob and my question is probably very noob to you. I just bought the DT 880 250 ohm and the main use is gaming on PC and listening to some music while playing.  I read that I should get an Amp, what do you think about the Fiio E10? Enough? It is also a DAC so I would...

Hello guys, I got the DT 880 250 ohm for my PC. It is mostly for gaming and listening to music while playing. Where I live I can easily get anything that is Fiio related. So should I get the Fiio E9k+E17? Would it be good enough? Or E18 alone? OR X3 & E12 ? Or X5 & E12?       ...

Been listening to the DT880 250 pro for almost a week and love it... Things did take around a day or two to settle in sound-wise, but now it's amazing. Took delivery of a pair of the 600 premiums today, and initially I'm not too excited. Right off the bat I prefer the clamping force of the Pro...

Which one of these is better for the following: Most Important Music (Electronic, Classical, Rap, Rock) Gaming(A lot of BF4 so hearing footsteps from different locations is important) Less Important Videos(Youtube videos, Twitch Streams, short movies) Music while traveling(this would be very...

Hello, head-fi! I've been a lurker here for years and never signed up, but have received some good advice from others' questions in the past. :)   I'm looking for some closed cans for listening at work. I'd like something around $25, but might be willing to go as high as $50 if it's really...

This is my second review / comparison of Headphones on this forum. I first must admit I love music. Listening to quality Headphones makes a huge difference no matter the brand. For this go around I am going to compare the Beyerdynamic DT880s (250Ω) and the Beyerdynamic T1s (600Ω).   I must...

I'm looking into these two headphones so I'm wondering if you can tell which one is 250 ohms and which one is 600 ohms? Does it actually say on the headphones itself? (says if you're buying one without the original box)

decided to replace the 3.5mm jack on a stock dt880 cable.   cut the cable.   stranded enamel wire. why the hell do they use enamel wire?   How do i tin a solder this stuff??

This is my first posted review for any headphones. I would like to start out and state that I listen to headphones at work almost every day. My company moved to a cube environment and this required me to find another way to block ambient noise from other co-workers and be able to listen to...

A new pair of DT880 pro 250, Or used DT880 600?   I generally tend to lean away from buying used, but its it's a good enough upgrade i would consider it.

Hi, I recently purchased a DT 880 Premium 250ohm headphones and I'm loving it. I also got an Fiio E17 with these pair of headphones and even with gain set to 6, the volume from 30-40 is loud enough for my ears. Will I benefit at all from purchasing an E09k if the E17 is loud enough? Other than...

Hey guys, I currently have an Asus Xonar DGX sound card on my desktop PC. I'm thinking of getting the Beyerdynamic DT880s, but I've heard that the 250ohm version sounds much better than the 32 ohm version when amped. Will my sound card be able to handle the 250ohm version or should I just go for...

Good morning Head-fiers,   Next month, I'm going to NY and I'll buy my first hi-fi cups, but I'm having trouble choosing the best pair for my taste.   One of the main reasons is that I don't have the headphones on hand to test, so I will have to base on some feedback from you head-fiers =P...

So I've spent a few weeks reading up on threads between the DT 880s and DT 990's as well as the comparison thread w/ videos etc ( which was an amazing read) I'm aware of most of the pros and cons on most though there are a few questions left from my side to ask as I'm on a journey ( which I get...

I've taken a recent interest in classical music. (Cello and violin,I enjoy the cello a bit more though.) and I need some good cans to compliment the music. The ones I have been looking at are the Senn HD600s,Beyer DT880 pro (250),and the AKG K501s. The sound I would like to get is,very...

ATH-M50? I own the M50's for almost 6 months now and I really enjoyed it listening to Hiphop and electronic music but not for Orchestra and Rock music. I want more soundstage to fully enjoy movies and music in the likes of Il Divo, Josh Groban and Paramore etc. More controlled but still...

Hello I've got a Beyerdynamic dt 880 250 ohm. I got kind of cheap, and am currently running it with a Fiio e11. Works decently, I can get ample power when used through my laptop... Was wondering if it's worth the upgrade to E12 and what the benefits of that would be.

Hello, I am looking to purchase a pair of heaphones to match with the O2+ODAC combo (which I will purchase in about a week). I am still a bit new to this quality   I have zero'd in on the AKG Q701's and the Beyerdynamics DT 880 Pro's.   They both seem like really great headphones from what I...

Alright, so I recently had to move my pc into the main living room where the tv/pool table is. I had my own little computer room where I used my klipsch speaker setup and was pretty happy playing games and watching movies, but all that has ended and now I have to figure out a good...

Alright moved my pc in the main room and there is a lot of sound going on in here. I know the DT880's are semi-open but I was just curious how loud they would be, and if I would be able to put the headphones on and not be annoyed by the tv. And if not do you guys have any other suggestions? I do...

how does the TripleFi 10 compare to the likes of DT 880 PRO 250 ohms or Philips Fidelo X1?   is the sound quality much better?     i am also looking for any suggestion under $300     i currently use Fiio E17 as USB DAC/AMP but i might also upgrade to Audioquest DragonFly or something...
