I'm getting a second over the ear headphone to compliment my HD650. I feel like the HD650 is great for rock music and most of the pop songs I have, but I want a little more speed, sound stage, and treble for my EDM songs. I was able to get the 880 600 ohm at a recent amazon sale for $220, and...

I'm looking for a combination Preamp/Headphone amp.  It will be used with DT990s (600 Ohm) and a few IEMs and easy to drive headphones.  I'm also hoping to replace the Preamp in my speaker setup.  Budget is flexible, cheaper is better, but lets say $500 for now.  Also I want something that looks...

First of all, I’m not well versed in the headphone sound terminology and I haven’t made this kind of written review/run through before, so bare with me. I use my headphones a lot, therefore a decent pair of headphones is a must. I listen to all music genres, and I want to be able to pick up all...

well I spent $510 on a portable amp for by DT 990 600 ohms to realize they do not drive my DT 990 as I had expected, but I do not want to buy a desktop amp just for my headphones so I was thinking in buying a A/V receiver for my DT 990 600 ohms and for some speakers that I recently bought, I can...

Hello!   I recently purchased an DT990, and am fairly new to power hungry headphones/amps/DACs   I'm looking for an OTL amplifier, preferably one that is able to power other headphones I may purchase in the future without hesitation. I would prefer the Amp and DAC be seperate, if possible...

I haven't seen a dedicated  effort on the forum to quantify earpad size for our favorite 'over ear' headphones.  Because headphone comfort aka ergonomics are perhaps almost as important as sound signature for those of us who like to listen for long sessions in particular, maybe overdue to...

This morning when I plugged in my DT990 the left earcup was producing no noise and so I thought it might the amp I am using, Fiio E9, but I tryed some different headphones and made sure it was not the amp. I then plugged my headphones into my phone and the left driver was indeed making no noise...

I recently got a pair of 600 ohm DT990s and so far i have really liked the sound.  The bass isn't as big as everyone claims (which was a bit of a let down, but they have a spot in my collection nonetheless) and yes the mids are a bit recessed but that makes a lot of the music I listen to  a...

I was wondering which is the better method to use as an output. My MacBook Pro can do both. Does optical have jitter like USB? I read somewhere online that optical will give the best output quality. Will I even notice a difference? I have the DT 990 600 Ohms. I appreciate any feedback, thanks!

I don’t remember exactly how I heard of the SBH. I had heard of Blue Circle Audio, and since “mainstream” high-end audio manufacturers making headphone gear is kind of uncommon, I found it intriguing. I posted about it on head-fi, and lo and behold I got an email from another head-fier who is a...

Hey guys just some quick questions. Im looking at the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PROs or the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PROs and possibly the m audio q40s. I listen to mostly electronic music such as hardstyle. So punchy and hard bass is a must  but i dont want it to be extremely over whelming. The price...

Hi folks. I'm new here, having recently discovered the benefits of headphones. I've been involved with audio for +30 years, and it's never too late to learn something new. My system is fronted by analog front ends, along with an Oppo105  going into Krell/Dunlavy, which brings me here. You see, I...

Hello all,   Been a couple of years getting into head-fi, coming from 2 channel audio. I moved into a smaller place and the neighbors aren't too fond of the Dyn's so I am looking to put my investment into some better headphone equipment. My cans currently are DT990/600, and K702 in the past...

Hey guys,   Need some advice with my DT990s 600ohm. One day, the left driver decided to quit on me, and I discovered that it was the extremely thin, hair-like wires that lead into the driver itself was detached from the metal tabs. I have since resoldered it and I can hear sound coming from...
