legselevens Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Hi folks. Just wondering what Beyer cans you're using and what peripheral gear you have had good/poor results with. Any suggestions on an amp for the T1.2? I'm curious about amps to try with my Beyer T 1.2 so any suggestions welcome. Going by the Audio Science review of these hp I should have sold them years ago and rinsed my ears out but I actually really like them. I find them very detailed and easy to listen to. Plenty of bass and very open with decent imaging as far as hp can image. Quite comfy too. Positioning over the ears can effect the sound considerably with these hp. Other headphones I have at hand are HD650 and Hifiman HE400i the earlier one with removable cable. Amp wise I'm currently using Darkvoice 336se which sounds pretty good but curious about others. Also have an SMSL SP200 which is good with the Senns and HE400i but a little lean sounding with the Beyers. Speaker wise if it matters I have Kef 3.2 reference series floorstanders and Genelec 8330 with sub. Feel free to ad anything else you want on Beyer or other headphones you have compared to. Or if you have compared any HD800 versions to Beyers. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/beyerdynamic-t1-review-v2-headphone.20192/ https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/hifiman-he400i-review-planar-headphone.18544/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwhouston Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I have the DT770 Pro in both 32 and 250 ohms. I think the 250 sound better. Use them at home and on the plane. At home I use my DIY tube HP amp on the plane my DIY Blue Wave CMoy knockoff. http://retro-thermionic.blogspot.com/2022/04/apparition-6h3n-triode-headphone-amp.html https://retro-thermionic.blogspot.com/2020/04/blue-wave-cmoy-style-portable-hp-amp.html?m=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought it was a bad idea when youtube removed the thumbs down option. This reminds me of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent a message many yrs ago to have that thumbs down removed as an option and the mods and admin agreed as it’s no longer available. Sick of some members here stalking and giving thumbs down to even productive suggestions. That particular member doesn’t post here anymore as he said I was wrong in multiple posts on different subjects that he was technically wrong himself. He stopped firing at me after the last discussion. as I proved via measurements you don’t need impedance matching for spdif even at 24/192. Back on topic; I bought the T-90 simply because it can be driven from a phone and not requiring some mega dollar amp to prove a point. I listen to it with some of the expensive amps out there that are considered reference standards, then plugged it into a iPhone 4, now why would I spend mega dollars if it sounds this good with just an iPhone, I may not get the same volume but that is intended so I don't destroy my hearing. Don’t knock the Apple product as that audio jack and that $16 dongle measures and sounds excellent for very little money. It’s one brand that’s has mega dollars to get the research right that doesn’t require mega dollar audiophile approved parts and does it right. If you search for the iPhone 6 on these pages you’ll find there is a massive write up on just how good the iPhone6 is. You’ll need the dongle after any iPhone 6 as they don’t have the jack. then again I go one step further and enjoy Bluetooth. The Sony 1000mx3 does wonders in noise cancelling, something that you don’t get with open back cans The T-90 isn’t like the HD800 where it will need mega dollar amplification to sound good, The best outcome for a HD800 is via there amplification dedicated for it, which of course is in excess of over$2.5k. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legselevens Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 The t1 need an amp to sound their best otherwise they sound boring. The hifiman he400i need an amp too but I could enjoy them on my phone easily enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
