How much better is the e11 as just an amp compared to this? Using 250ohm dt990 beyers.

i believe the e11 has more power. the e07k is probably best utilized as a dac and complemented by the e09k as the power source for this specific set-up.

Nope, other than this having a built in noise gate, the VT999 has a 3 band EQ, treble, mid, and bass, while the VT911 only has a tone knob, making this VT999 a more detailed option. . One thing tho is that the VT999 is nearly 1 and a half times bigger than the VT911, so it'll take up more space on a pedal board, in my opinion, it's worth it for a more detailed sound

I have not used the 112's, but if you are gonna be using the mics daily, this is the one to get. It is very robust, and the syncing and sound quality make these worth every penny. I have used cheaper ones from shure and ev and these are much better.

This question highly depends on your headphone amplifier. The bass response is awesome with a proper headphone amp. For electronic music get a solid state amp.

I don't know but I'm using the Fiio E17 and it does a fine job with the HE 400's.In my opinion you definitely need an amp and the FIIO E17 has bass control which makes all the difference. I just want to say that the more I listen to these headphones the more I appreciate them.

I just put on a set of EDT250V pads, they do fit. However, the sound is slightly altered. It is slightly more scooped (more mid-range absorbed by the Beyerdynamic pads). Anyone try something different? I want a pad that gives a little more room and comfort so my ears don't touch the harder plastic.

The internals might be similar, but it depends on how you want to use it. If you want to plug your iPod into an amp then headphones into the amp, the l9 is the way to go. If you want headphones directly into the line out then the 11 is better. The fiio e1 is a better option for plugging headphones directly into the line out because you get volume control, which the l11 does not offer.

I've used the 1200 MK2's and the Audio Technica. The AT is built like a tank and very high quality. I use it with my tube amplifier and have a phono amp between the two. If you don't have a tube amp it's likely that the usual phono amp is sufficient.

Thanks for the reply. I purchased a Series 6 pair(three years old) with eq on Craigs for little over a third of the Bose price as I couldn't justify paying $1400 for them. I don't have an amp with pre-out and am buying the HK 3490 to run them. I hope they sound better together.

I use my amp with 2 sets of phones. Both are Beyer-Dynamic at 250ohms each. One open back, one closed back. The sound is great, I think you will be pleased, especially with Sennheiser open back phones.

Hi, sorry can't help as I don't have experience with this devices. Anyway you ordered outstanding headphones, top class for sure, I used with a good DAC and a Magny amplifier and really are one of my prefered headphones (well, I keep the 250ohm version as I almost never use portable devices for music). Hope you likes the Beyers. Leo.

I'm a fellow electronic music junky. I'm an audiophile with basshead tendancies. I would say its above neutral. depending on budget, I'd go with one of the following: KEF-M200 for good clarity and thunderous bass, DN-1000 for near perfection and great bass, and/or Fischer Amps 4A XB (hefty price tag, but the all-around winner). These have the remote/mic and aethetically look cool, but sound isn't kick-a** like I think you're looking for.

if u can... i suggest u go for the audioengine d1. its performance is superior to this. but if ur using it for headphones only.... this wil def. do the job.

For those who have the 701 already but are thinging about 702. I'd say don't bother. Not an upgrade, at best your moving laterally. Save up a bit longer make a jump to something lme the Audeze lcd 2. That's a very nice upgrade. Save longer jump to lcd 3 now that's not big its huge. But now your looking at Sennheiser hd 800 territory. Nw were talking true audio bliss.

The Beyerdynamic web site shows 250 ohm. See the linked spec sheet. All I know is these cans are hard to drive. I finally broke down and bought a Beyerdynamic A1 amp to push these. Its not the volume that is the problem; its power needed to push these cans to accurate resolution. These are much more finicky than my AKGs or Sennheiser headphones.http://north-america.beyerdynamic.com/shop/media//datenblaetter/DAT_T90_EN.pdf

If the sensitivity is above ~86 or so you should be OK. I am driving a pair of Sentry 100A which have a sensitivity of 92db. They make plenty of sound and sound quite good even without a good preamp (e.g. a smartphone input).

IMO K612 are best for listen to pure music or as studio monitors. They are durable and should hold up to your application. DT 990 are also great audiophile or studio monitoring headphones. You should not have a problem. I don't see the need for a headphone amp. Be aware of which ohms you choose as this can affect volume.
