Curious as  to why at Amazon the Beyerdynamic DT-990-Pro 250 ohm model sells for $167. and yet the non "Pro" 250 ohm version sells for $302.  ?? 

So I recently got the Beyerdynamic DT990 250 Pro headphones and I've been reading a lot about them since I'm new to the higher-end world of audio.  I've seen a lot of people suggesting that others buy sound cards or amps or dacs or something like that.  Like I said, I'm new to this stuff and...

So I couldn't find an exact answer to my question on Tom's Hardware and figured this would be where the kings of audio knowledge would be.   Simply put I'm not sure what to get as many threads I've seen have mixed answers but that was from 2011 and 2012 so maybe people have more input on it...

  Hey there!       So I'm new to this forum and new to the higher-end world of audio as well.  Please bare with me while I "noob" my way through this. I've always been a big music/movie/video game enthusiast and had always used basic audio gear for it until recently I decided to purchase...

Hello! I was wondering what ya'lls suggestions would be for a sound card to power 250 ohm DT 990's. I will use the 990's for mostly gaming, with some music.. I've been looking at the ASUS Xonar Essence STX, and the ASUS Xonar DGX. THE DGX is much cheaper but apparently only supports headphones...

I already own the ATH M50 and V-Moda M80s and I have enjoyed both of them very much. I'd have to say I prefer the more treble and bass oriented sound of the ATH M50s over the smoother and darker sound of the V-Moda M80s. I will be picking up a new pair of headphones in the next 10 days and I'm...

DT 990 PRO 250 OMHS   Is that a great price? Are these great cans?    I have a US-122L but I don't think that's going to power these things to get the best use out of them.   What amps do you recommend around $100 or less? I don't want to spend a lot, I just don't wan them to sound like...

I think the above equation "sums" up my question.   Regarding budget, I'm assuming improvements on the HD600 will require entering Summit Fi territory. The LCD3/HD800 are the most expensive headphones I'd consider buying.   Depending on which headphone comes closest to the sound signature I...

Hi!   I am going to get one of these. I'll use it mostly for gaming and sometimes for movies and music. I'll be using them both on my PC and iPhone, iPad etc. My PC has a motherboard that can drive up to 300 Ohms headphones. Can you guys help me decide?          HD598 Price: 300$      ...

Hey, I'm not entirely sure where to put this thread, but this seemed like the right place. Bear in mind I'm new here so please reserve your judgement, but I couldn't find a straight answer elsewhere. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I rolled over the cord of my beyerdynamic DT990 Premium...

Hey I've got beyerdynamic dt990 pro 250ohm that I recently bought. (I also got some bookshelf speaker [ESM-4] for when I want to work freely in my room) I'm currently running it from my integraded sound card of my motherboard (asrock z87 extreme4, id like to keep the driver from that since I...

Good morning Head-fiers,   Next month, I'm going to NY and I'll buy my first hi-fi cups, but I'm having trouble choosing the best pair for my taste.   One of the main reasons is that I don't have the headphones on hand to test, so I will have to base on some feedback from you head-fiers =P...

Background:  I have a pair of Mad Dogs that I bought for use at work.  I don't really need much isolation, but I don't mind having some, as the HVAC in my office isn't exactly quiet.  That said, I have moderate hearing loss starting around 4kHz and it rolls off progressively to about -60 dB at...

So I am finally dipping my toe in the world of head-fi. After much research and some advice from local head-lebrity Skylab, I picked up a pair of Beyerdymnamic DT990 (250Ω) headphones. I am running them on the headphone output of my beautiful and rare Grant Fidelity MS-2a3 amplifier. The amp...

http://www.amazon.com/Beyerdynamic-DT-990-Pro-250-Professional-Acoustically-Applications/dp/B0011UB9CQ/ref=pd_cp_e_3   This might interest you Americans, they're a real steal at 147USD.

Hello need some advice on a amplifier for my new headphones i currently have a soundblaster z however the amplifier on it appears to not be working as it sounds exactly the same from the front and back headphone ports as well as the rear speaker out. So as i have very little experience with...

The magni and modi are much better looking and are cheaper and the 1/4" input is nice. The o2 and odac are don't look very good but are they better? (Approximately $20 more b/c of cheaper shipping and no RCA cables needed)   The magni and modi have a fixed gain and I have heard they are...

Right now I am using the Fiio e10 which is fairly new and it is nice although I am getting some static issues only through my macbook air. Not sure what is up there but it works fine on my computer. It can drive my DT 990-250 well and not going past 30% volume on it (Approx 2.5/8 on volume). But...

I'm really close to getting the Schiit Vali but the microphonics and is the sound quality any better than magni/modi or o2/odac combo? Or anything else like the TubeMagic D1 Plus?     Please keep in mind the bang to buck ratio. Will the Asgard 2 and Modi costing $350 sound that much better...

The title states it all. I want an amp that will also mellow out the highs a bit. A tad too bright for my likings. BUT I would like to leave the lows as is or maybe even enhance them. I love me some bass.   I've read around, and a lot of people are saying that tubular style amps are great for...

what is the best headphone/amp combo under 400 for use with pc gaming/music? can any expert give some recommendations..

Hi,   I'm thinking about buying a Fiio E12f or my DT 990 PRO 250 ohm's, but I'm not sure if its necessary because through my iphone 4s, the volume is very high, way higher than what I listen to and I feel like the bass and soundstage is very good, I like the highs too.   But everywhere I...

   first of all i am not an audiophile , but i found myself not enjoying any headphone much and that i want something more , i think a better soundstage would impress me .   so i decided to buy the creative Zx as my new sound card since a lot people said that there's no big difference...

I got a $ 300 amazon gift card from my family for my birthday and i am looking at getting another pair of headphones. I currently have DT990 Pros (250ohm version) and a E17 portable dac amp. as the tittle says im looking at headphones that fit really well in the edm and hip hop genres (this isnt...

Hey there! I just recently started to look for new headphones, but I'm having a bit of trouble. The thing is, I want headphones like my Shure SRH750DJ's but a pair of cans that are more comfortable, and have a bit more bass. I do realize that the 750's already pump out good bass, but I enjoy...
