Yup one time buy for new member

anyone using Govibe Vestamp to drive DT880 250ohm? just curious, i can crank the vestamp volume up to max while listening to music sometime, and most of time quarter to max. below that its kinda too soft.. i just wonder, is vestamp capable to really drive this cans or not? or is it lacking power.. afraid that all this time actually i didn't hear the full potential of my DT880. lol

I also have DT880 pro.. I think vestamp amplifier is not enough to drive 250 ohms of DT880pro.. I am currently using Govibe Peak to drive it.. feel like getting a vestamp as DAC..

i think this vestamp is still on low gain.. i want to check the gain switch which is hidden inside the casing on the PCB, but i don't have the star screwdriver! sighh.. i wonder which genius has decided to put a switch unaccessible

I've tried both the ALO RX MK-II and JDS Labs O2 amp; both are sufficient to drive the T1; I supposes driving the DT880 at 250ohm shouldn't be an issue with these amp.

Nv try the GoVibe before

I think a good combo with DT880 and govibe peak would be the AK10. Instead of spending so much on a combo like Vestamp+, why not get a specialized DAC?

so i tried to resolder my dt880 wires that got stripped off.
wasn't aware theres 3 tiny wire which i accidentally broke..
is this repairable? do i need those 3 tiny wires? anyone got pointers..thanks

try send the faulty unit to Jaben Malaysia, they are able to help you send for repair with charges.

T51p
Around 100+hours old.

What I thought of the sound signature on the demo unit, it turned out to be different on mine!
I enjoyed some bass punch, and the demo unit ones are just the right amount, compared to DT1350 and T50p. Mine now... OMG the bass was really punchy (neither too tight nor too loose, but in a lot of quantity).
Mids are still the Beyer house signature. Sit right at the middle, nor forward nor deep inside. Treble is well controlled so far I hear, with some splashes here and there but it's not really sibilant (due to being too warmed by the bass, I suspect). Staging is fairly good, okay-good kinda type with enough left-right and forward-deep positioning.
One thing for sure, to my taste, I'd prefer to reduce the bass. In my case, by using the Line Out on iBasso DX50 (which increased the clarity and reduce the bass impact of the source). Even that, the bass is still quite punchy.
This porta-HP isolates quite well, and the cable length is of sufficient length on outdoor use. Well, time to experience more burn-in to find out if anything changes!

my XP1 died again. Just after 3 months, and this is the 3rd time I'm claiming warranty.

Shameful, such a good brand, but such a bad quality.

i guess i'll have to try that option

Guys, have a try on the latest DX120 and DX160, damn they are good, comparing in similar price range product, they are much better than what current market has to offer.

To my T51p seem to have much better dynamic compare with DT1350 and T50p, better bass and treble extension, while DT1350 still maintaining a flat and extremely detail headphone.

Just got my self a pair of dx160 since my xp1 died on me after the warranty period. How long do I need to burn in? Also it sounds a lot louder on my ipod rather than my Xperia tablet z2. But most of the time I'm using the z2 as I have spotify on it. How do I improve the sounds of my tablet z2? Why ipod can sound way more louder?

burn in is really a prespective thing, nothing concrete to prove it

z2 might have a weaker amp than ipod, as ipod is a dedicated player and z2 is an AIO smartphone, you want better loudness, then get players with eq and gain function, like the app poweramp for android, but i'm not sure how much will it detour the original sound of the DX160

After much deliberation, I have decided to let go of my Beyerdynamic T1. It will be missed and it will mark my exit from the Beyer clan after selling off my T5p as I started to use the more convenient custom IEM's for portable use a few years back.

Damn, I also had the T1 a couple years back and sold it off as well. Looks like you're almost on the full planar swing soon

And the price is great too, even better than buying on head-fi FS threads for those interested out there. The packaging provided by Beyerdynamic T1 puts the HD800 packaging to shame.

i might inherit his t1 haha
