any recommendations? I am looking at the aune t1 and ASUS stx

I currently use the DT880 Pro 250s, and plan on getting the AKG K240 Studios. I use the Audioengine D1 DAC and amp, but I was looking at getting a tube or hybrid amp to hook up to the D1, in order to give the DT880s a bit warmer sound, also because from what I heard the K240s like hybrid amps...

(Asus STX) vs (Asus DX + SCHIIT Magni)   Headphone i am using :DT880 250ohms   Thanks in Advance

Falling shelf scared my dog who was laying on the wire of my Shure SRH840s which in turn broke them in half at the headband. I don't necessarily care if my new cans are open or closed. I'd prefer to stay under 250 or 200 USD but I'm willing to go up to 300 USD. Currently I'm considering the AKG...

Dear Head-Fiers,     I'm looking for an all-round headphone that will see use in music, movies and gaming.     I was previously considering a DT880 paired with a tube amp but now I've read that headphones like the DT880, HD600 and HD650 are only good for classical and jazz, and are...

Hi everyone - I've been reading about heaadphones for the last week and figured I would post a thread to get some more specific help on some questions I have.   I need a headphone for comfortable listening at home 8+ hours each day. I listen to metal, rock and electronica mostly. (All EAC...

Howdy, new guy here. I'm a media nut. I love my music above all, movies are a close second and games are fun when I'm bored. I love rock and hip hop type genres. Movies and games in my opinion have very similar sound profiles (not sure if used right). I want a headphone set that can handle what...

I currently own a pair of V-Moda Crossfade LP's and really like them because of the bass. I use them for listening to most genres of Heavy Metal but mainly the more extreme sub-genres (Death Metal, Thrash Metal and Black Metal)   I've had them for a little under two years now but I'm...

Okay so basically, I'm getting a bit picky about my sound, and long story short I'm looking for some decent headphones plus an amp to suit. Don't know too much about amps or enough about headphones for that matter, only that my IE 80's are sweet! I'm probably what most of you guys would call...

Hi everyone! Ill start off by saying i really love my 80s and it fits my taste in music (house, dubstep etc..). After a few months with it built my appetite for something better, something in a definite "higher level" and not just a bit better, if it makes any sense. I also kinda like producing...

I am a starting audiophile, and the only good headphones that i have that have a certain prestige is the: Audio Techniqua: Ath-M30 (Getting it friday) Ath-ANC23     some day i might get the Ath-m50 I think the ANC23 is very good, but it seems to be lacking in my taste of opinion...

Hey guys, I've been a longtime observer, first time poster. I currently have a Audioengine D1 and a pair of their A2's for my office. I wanted to get some good cans so I can listen to stuff at a more moderate volume without bothering my neighbors at work. I have a $500 Credit at guitar...

Hi there. Looking for a set of headphones that is good for a wide range of rock music (acdc, Marilyn manson, slipknot etc.) pricerange 150-250 $

So, Ive had these DT 8800s 250 Ohms since a couple months now and i must say that the soundstage just doesnt seem to compare to the Audio Technika A700 which i tried before the DTs.   I am running them on a Asus Xonar Essence STX 2. ...

I tired the Mad Dogs, but they where TOO warm   I'm thinking of ATH w5000 or w1000x woodies as my next attempt for clean warm cans [I use a tube for extra warmth a a little more bass]   I love my byer dt 880 pro 250s and I want a closed version of them :O [and not the dt 770] Sound stage...

I recently decided to purchase a pair of Beyerdynamic 880s, but I haven't the slightest clue about how I should power them.  Can anyone give me an overview of what I need in the amp/DAC categories, and maybe suggest some affordable equipment for me?  I see a lot of posts about how good the...

Hi, I just bought a DT 880 Pro 250 ohms version. Plug it in the Fio E7 / my lap and WOW; The sound stage and clarity are amazing, I heard something I've never realized before :). The bass and treble are okay, I could enjoy it more than any other full-size I bought (Sony V6 and AKG 701). But...

Hey Guys and Girls,   First time poster although I've read threads on here before. Seems like the best possible place I could get this advice. I am looking at getting a set of headphones. They would primarily be used on my PC for music and the odd bit of gaming. But I am starting to believe...

want to get Amp only of necessary. dac if absolutely necessary (for now). I thought it sounded fine with iPad2. In fact I was floored by how good it sounded. Perfect for trance and vocal trance I thought. However they were just a little underpowered and not loud enough by just a little to my...

Hey guys. New to the pc audio game. I am looking for something that will make my Beyerdynamic dt880 pro 250 ohm headphones sound real good while playing BF3. I also enjoy some music, but gaming and specifically BF3 are what I am trying to dial in. I have encountered a problem that I am confused...

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 + ~>...

I have spent the last month or more with the q701 and it's had about 300 hours of break in now so it's finally time to see how it  stacks up against the DT880 250 ohm. The format of this shootout will be 3 songs, chosen for their clarity, dynamics, and quality,  they lend themselves well to...

Sennheiser HD598's seem to sound better than DT880s *without* an amp, pretty passable IMO.   Even at low impedence, Beyer headphones just seem to need a lot of juice.   Anyone else have experience driving medium-range open capsules in this range? Words of wisdom? Suggestions?

Hello!   I've been searching far and wide and asked stuff about headphones. Now I feel like this might be just me wanting to get new headphones, for the sake of new headphones. Really I just want sound that I like and can live with for a long while. I don't want to get something new that I...
