Somewhat disappointed by the HD 598's
I got them the other day, and the bass definitely had no impact. The bass is there, and well defined, but like I said it didn't have any punch, that's probably due to the open design, though I was expecting at least a decent amount of bass. The headphones will probably take a little while to...- mattslaughing

I want to know If DT880 pro or HD650 are great headphones, why Skrillex...- mehrdadiii

Will my Xonar DGX be able to drive 250ohm headphones?
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...- BagelMonster

DT880 pro question
So I just bought a pair of DT880 pro for $180 ($192 after tax). Do you think this is a good deal? Since this is already a lot of money would I be fine without an amp/dac? I already have the vmoda M-80s, so do you think the 880s unamped are significantly better than the M-80s? If not, I might...- bobcow120

Confused on the line of connections, difference between Preamp, DAC, Amp etc.
Could somebody explain the line of audio or such or show pictures of how this all happens. Is a Preamp and a DAC the same thing? What about something like the Zero, which is a Preamp/DAC/Amp apparently. Does that mean you can use it as a preamp and an amp? What does this even mean? Explanation...- Fetou

I'm still deeply unhappy with my Denon HP-500. Six months later, it still sounds like the audio equivalent of a cold draught.
