I'm new :)   Currently looking for $300 - $400 (no stretching price) open back fun. I listen to EVERYTHING. I want as wide a range music and movie headphone as I can get.   ATM I Have: Sennheiser 598 Topping TP41 amp   http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=310-324...

Hi I'm wanting to buy new headphones and I'm coming from a Beyerdynamic DT880 600ohm paired with a matrix-m-stage amp and asus essence stx soundcard.   I'm wanting warmer/more fun and possibly more bass. These will be used for music(electronica/edm/epic) and gaming. Comfort is also a big...

I hope some of you can help me here, I don't have much experience with over ear headphones. Maximum budget is $100 and I will be using the headphones with my iPhone and my laptop, it has Waves Maxx Audio3. I don't have an amp and don't plan to get one. My music is mostly Rock and Metal. I would...

Why is everyone selling their Audeze headphones. Is it that they regret their purchase? There are currently 10s of LCDs for sale... wow...

Three years I purchased a set of Sennheiser HD590s. I was happy with the sound and the physical comfort of the ear cups and the headband. However I found that regardless of the type of music I listened to, even at low to moderate volume levels, my ears would hurt after 20 minutes or so. I was a...

Just got a pair of these on Amazon for $150 ((http://www.amazon.com/beyerdynamic-DT-860-Premium-Headphones/dp/B000Y0IPF8) as a substitute for my T90 that I can leave at work while the T90s stay home, and I have to say, I'm damn impressed. Soundstage is proportional but not enormous, but it's a...

Hi everybody! I'm new to the forum and I'm not a native English speaker. That said, I am willing to buy an AMP, a DAC and, of course, a pair of headphones. My budget for the headphones only is 300$ max. I've read all the previous threads about this and I think my options are: -AKG k701...

Hi. I have been a member here for a while now. I am looking for a pair that look fashionable to be used with my iPhone. I really like the sound signature of my DT880s. I want a pair that look kinda like the beats or the Sol Republic or the SMS by 50 Cent. You know the look they have. I am not a...

I was very eager to pick up my um miracle this morning...........but after a few hrs testing it out i realized i picked the wrong sound-signature,it doesnt do me any satisfaction like my beloved ety er4s im going to put it on sale to fund another CIEM,i really dont wanna make the same...

  Hello thanks for reading my post...   I've been reading a lot of  posts on the best headphones for electronic music  and have been very keen to  decide on which ones to buy soon.....I mostly listen to electronic music   I am after an organic, analogue type of sound...imagine listening...

For regular non headphone listening I use a NAD T753 with Dali Lektor 3's and Sub. The warm sound of the NAD and the wood fiber cones of the Dali's yield a detailed yet warm sound. I recently got the ASUS STX card. I have owned a pair of Grado SR60i HP's for several years. I listen to classical...

I just got the Fiio X5, which i am very much enjoying with my Shure 215s.  I would like to do a little better than this for a portable though.  I have some cool headphones like the q701 and Beyerdynamic DT880, but I feel a little silly leaving the house wearing any of those.  The 215s are...

Where is a good store to demo headphones in Manhattan? I went to J&R MusicWorld this evening and was completely disappointed with their setup. The HD580 right ear was not working. The HD555/595 was no where loud enough to get a good sampling. Same goes for the HD600/650. I also wanted to try...

So I've been reading through posts and threads to find all the comparisons of these 'phones, but there is never really a conclusion as to its price to performance ratio with specific numbers; In where I live, the HD600s are $500, Q701s are $279, and the DT880s/990s are $330. I get conclusions...

I will add a few more frequency-response graphs published some time ago in the German magazine «Stereoplay» (1/07). As expressed in several post, they match my own sonic impressions better than the HeadRoom graphs (which show a uniform «distortion» throughout the product palette)...

Where are you guys! Seems like not alot of people are using this amp now. I've been using it for years now and i'm still very happy with it. hmmm.

Hey everyone, I just got my LD MKIV in the mail last week, and was wondering if anyone has any experience with tube rolling on it, as I am looking into buying more tubes. I currently have them laced with DT 880s, 600ohm. I tend to like bassy music, but I really like classical music as well...

I would like the best headphone for the money that can fullfill some requirements: - Closed-back - Great for hip-hop/rap - Low impedence so I can drive them with my iphone - As I said before the most bang for my buck - Velour pads or replacement velour pads available - Good bass that doesn't...

I come across numerous terms that just don't make sense to me.  I can understand a more relative relation when one reviewer says a headphone is detailed than another, but on the contrary, when you lack the experience of having gotten a hold of some of the best of the best headphones, it's hard...

Hi all,   Recently i bought a Little Dot Mk3 to go with my hd595 witch ive had for a long time, and before i knew it, i bought a dt880 and a second hand hd600. I am fairly convinced that the DT880 isnt a keeper, but i love the hd600. My setup looks like this   Sonos ZP90 (ultimo...

Hello all.  This is my first post so bear with me.  I caught the audiophile bug a while ago but im still pretty new to the hobby.  Im looking into getting my third pair of (noteworthy) headphones.  Im up in the air between the sennheiser  hd650s, the AKG k701s, and the beyerdynamic dt880s.  I...

I got a pair of old spares sitting around. I've always like the pad (wasn't a huge fan of the phones). Do they fit on anything else or work for a mod? I don't hear too much about them.

I have compared two amps with the 250-ohm Beyerdynamic DT880s, an ODAC/O2 and the Apogee Duet 2. I am getting results that are apparently not supported by objective measurements. I am finding the O2 to be a little bright and even what some people call 'thin' for my taste. The Duet does not have...

I've been comparing the Sennheiser HD 650 to my Beyerdynamic DT 880 600 Ohm, and after 200 hours of dutiful burn-in, the winner is… The HD 600! Here's a recap of how I got to this point. Just add "to me" to the head of any sentence that describes the sound. A couple of months ago I started...

I've had my DT880s for about 3 years, and they have been great, but recently, I noticed that they have developed a channel imbalance.  If I play this file http://www.sensaphonics.com/test I notice that the high pitched tone is slightly to the left in the stereo image, and the low pitched tone is...
