Hello Head-Fi! After browsing the forums for about a year now, I thought it was time to make an account.   I'm looking for a new set of cans. I bought my first pair, Shure SRH750s, about a year ago. I love them and they sound great with my music (hip hop, electronic, dub step, alternative...

So I am looking to upgrade my headsets (currently PC 360). And I've been reading around and my clear choice is the HD 598. I love the sound stage and how my music sounds on the PC 360's and the HD 598 wouldn't be a huge departure from them (hopefully a bit better though)    However I am very...

My DT 990's came in today. I have the 880's already but the premium version and this is unexpectedly different. I knew from the pictures that the outer covers were a little different but I assumed the rest was the same.   1. The headband is a button over kind but it seems to be fake leather...

Before I go into detail about my inquiry, I'd first like to make it known that this is my first post, although I've been obsessed with head-fi for about a week. I'm a mere infant in the world of true sound, so even the most basic explanations and details will be much appreciated. Secondly, I'd...

 Hello, still looking into more "possible" to buy headphones.  I came across the AKG K550 while looking for reviews of the headphones and to what headphones I can compare since the only decent headphone carrying store only has headphones the like of the low end Sennheisers and the Shure's, the...

Hello all, anyone have any dac/amp suggestions for the dt880 pro 250ohm? Im going to be running it through my toshiba laptop and my budget is 170 or less. I was considering the fiio e10 or e17, any other suggestions are greatly appreciated thanks!

Hey guys I was looking to get some nice audiophile headphones with an amp. I have a budget of 350$ (MAX MAX MAX) that I would like to spend on a set of headphones and I really don't want to spend more than 100$ on an AMP/DAC (I might go for the NuForce uDac2). Basically I would like a little...

Hello, so i´m going to buy dt 990 pro but currently i only own Steelseries USB Soundcard. So my question is how will they sound without amp ? I´m going to buy amp/new soundcard at my birthday 3.3. Will the sound be alot better with amp? Thank you

Hi, just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the German Maestro GMP 435s??? Stumbled across it when looking for a mixing can. Comparing them to the likes of DT880 K70x HD600 Thanks Carl

I've been researching headphones for the past hour or two, trying to find which I'd like to get. I currently have the Studio Beats, and have always been pretty unimpressed. They have quite a bit of bass, which used to satisfy me, but whenever I turn on The Smiths or classical music I feel...

hey guys and gals, I need suggestions on a new set of headphones,  I will use them for everyday stuff mostly music and movies. I don't listen to rap or hip hop. I'm not thinking about a budget right now, but wouldn't want to spend a thousand bucks either. I want something good, that will last. I...

Hi all, as per the title, I need to ask you some questitions regarding the Beyerdynamic DT880 Premium (32 ohm version).   Currently I'm using a Sennheiser PC360 plugged in to an Asus Xonar DG, and I'm wondering if the DT880 would be an improvement over my headset in terms of sound quality...

Need a decent flat set of cans for mixing at home. After hours of searching I think it's between these bad boyz! Just wondering what most people would recommend? Beyerdynamic DT880 pro -£185 AKG K701 - £165 Any help or recommendations would be appreciated.

Basically been looking through tons of headphones but still don't know what to get. Input would be appreciated.   For reference, my current headphones are the FA-011 and the Westone ES3X. Current speakers are the Swan M200 mkii. Not much of a fan of the FA-011 anymore; it is fun but it's...

Low Skies is the band. Cousin is the song. I've heard it 524 times according to Itunes. But that's only sitting at the computer, not in the car, or on my mp3 player. I can't say if I've listened to it on the DT880 since getting the E9 amplifier but tonight I heard it on my new Q701's and heard...

I'm pretty new to the whole audio obsession but nonetheless I am very curious about all the stuff. I have seen some post about tube amps and their benefits over solid state but I am curious as to what headphones pair well with tube amps and why they don't drive all headphones like they should?

Hi guys,   I've been wanting new headphones for a while now and had done a good bit of research here over the past few weeks. My price range topped out at around $200. I went to a guitar center to try out a few after coming up with a list of good candidates. DT770, AT M50's, and Senheiser HD...

Hi, I am looking at buying some headphones purely for mixing at home. I have been searching the forums constantly trying to find an answer, but haven't been able to make a definitive decision on a pair. I know it's all personal preference, but I just wanted to see what the most recommended...

Hello, so i´m going to buy dt 990 pro but currently i only own Steelseries USB Soundcard. So my question is how will they sound without amp ? I´m going to buy amp/new soundcard at my birthday 3.3. Will the sound be alot better with amp? Thank you

Hi guys,   I'm only starting my life as an audiophile and I have some noob questions to ask. I recently purchased some DT 880 Pros (250Ohm) second hand recently and I'm really happy with them, but I do not have an amp yet. When I plug the headphones directly into my laptop (via 3.5mm) and...

Hi there,   Like many of you I have a new Little Dot MkIII, I have it since a week and have listened to it intensively. Right from the start I was impressed with the way it sounded even in not burnt in form. Since I was waiting for a new headband for my old Sennheiser HD565, for the time...

Hello everyone.   I need new headphones or headset and sound card for competitive gaming. My preferences:   Build: - Large around-the-ear pads with space to breathe. - Only open back! - Only velour pads! - Long cord from only one earpad.   Sound: - Competitive gaming only...

So I love my headphones. My ATH-M50's make my whole experience with my collection of alternative/punk/pop-punk so much... MORE. It blew my soon-to-be 15 year old mind away. So I am pretty happy with these, but I've been searching around and keep seeing open back headphones. These sound like an...

I am curious to know how many of you (if any at all) who have higher end headphones (DT880/990, AKG Q/K 701/2's, HD600/650, HifiMan 400's, etc) have replaced their mid/expensive cans with a less expensive headphones under $100? It doesn't have to be that you have "replaced" your headphones but...

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...
