ok, sorry for not getting my lazy ass in here earlier after you mentioned me in the thread title, but I'm kinda busy;)
but the test isn't working yet, anyway. So please work on those files (I agree that a 30 or 20 sec clip is enough) and I'll be right here to check it out.
PS: Stanza, I don't get what you're saying in your post. You converted a 96kbps MP3 to 192 and think it sounds better now? |

if they aren't to big i could host them for you...upload them to myplay or send them to [email protected] :)
gluegun: i have a Beyerdynamic DT411, does that count? |

DT411?
I've never heard of THAT model... can ya gimme some details of it? maybe post some comparative reviews? Which line is (was?) it in? It is no longer made, correct?
Anyways, I was merely saying that you would probably need an audiophile-quality or engineer-quality setup (sound card and headphones) to pick out the most differences.
And, I was hinting for you to go look at the tests the guy at www.r3mix.net did, because he already DID what you are talking about... |

| the DT411 is a pretty old version of the DT431...i had the DT311 as well but the qualtity of the DT411 was sooo much better. i thought about buying better ones but i haven't decided yet... |

| Gonna use it for music listening or recording/mixing? amped or unamped (like, does the headphone jack have some power or is it a balls-less portable?) |
|
|
| AndiH |
i wanna use it for music listening (trance, ambient, classical); i won't use it for live mixing...
my amplifier is a Harman/Kardon AVR 18 RDS
is there a big loss in quality if i'd connect high quality headphones to my pc (soundblaster live)??? |
|
|
| Gluegun |
Eh....Soundblaster live is hissy as all hell, and it can't drive all that much...
But I happily connect my headphone amp to it, and my big Beyers to it.
Do you want open or closed?
Will you be using it for computer gaming?
*ahem*
And, to get at least HALFWAY back on topic, what media are you going to use for the test? What will be the reference, the control? A *.wav of something? Well? |

For easy to drive closed headphones that are REALLY nice, check out the Beyerdynamic DT250-80, or, ideally, the Etymotic ER4P.
By the way, with amplifier, I was talking about HEADPHONE amplifier, or any info on the amplification properties of whatever you will be plugging these headphones into... you *don't* plug headphones into a speaker amplifier, unless you are plugging the AKG K1000's into a 6 through 10 watt speaker amp. |

ok thanks a lot :)...i'm gonna check them out
btw these headphones are pretty cheap here in germany...DT250-80 for $130
just one thing...what's the difference between DT250-80 and the DT831 cause they both cost the same!?! |
