I am assuming I should just stick with my Amiron Home headphones over these.

JustFluxzDepends what you want to do with them. In my opinion, the DT990 is more for people in studios who mix and master music. The Home model is more for personal listening enjoyment. If that's your aim, then you have a great headphone.

RayFWould you say that these are worth getting if I already own the Amiron Home and HD 700?

Jul 23, 2018

JustFluxzI would not. But I'm in the "no-need-to-feel-obligated-to-constantly-buy-new-headphones-every-ten minutes-camp"--admittedly a minority on this site ;- )
On the other hand, some of the folks 'round here seem to be searching for the meaning-of-life and the holly-grail all wrapped up in a set of headphones, and damn the price! Reminds me of that Muddy Waters song "I Just Can't Be Satisfied"-- or worse, a dog chasing its tail.
That's not you is it?

RayFI have a fair bit of headphones but I normally only buy a pair like once a year. Those 2 headphones I mentioned are the only 2 I would consider high end where as I have a few mid range headphones. I have a nose qc35ii but i dont think that really is in the same level of audiophile headphones. Was looking at the Focal Elex as that seems to be the blend of my 2 headphones in the way that I wanted them to be but the price tag..
The DT990 has had my attention for awhile and I am curious to how it sounds.

Jul 23, 2018

JustFluxzWell it's only money, as they say. When you get around to the DT990s, be sure to let us 'Po-folks know how they sound. BTW, I have those QC35s too and I like 'em plenty (good for droning out whatever my sig-other is watching on tv. True, you wouldn't wanna call 'em Audiophile-grade, but they do job. I have a pair of MD 6XX and a pair of 4XXs that I'm pretty happy with at present--should be a while before I need to upgrade to the Focals (hopefully).

RayFyeah, the Bose are my goto headphones outside of the house. My headphones before the HD700 were the HD598SE but it left me wanting more.

Jul 23, 2018

JustFluxzIf it's just listening enjoyment, man you have enough. If you are using them as a tool to create music in the studio, the DT990s are a good consideration for critical listening, as would Sennheiser 700.

Jul 23, 2018

JustFluxzThey're just too easy to use--pairs with two devices at the same time (my phone and computer come up instantly when I turn them on), and if you have the Bose app, and know someone with another pair, two can listen to the same device. Plus they're very comfortable to wear. --what's not to like?

Jul 23, 2018

RayFExactly

Jul 23, 2018

sirthoughtMostly listening enjoyment and gaming. I want to get back into video editing though, but that isnt the main concern

JustFluxzI've been wanting the Amirons for ages, and I just refuse to buy them. There is a threshold you cross where you hear EVERYTHING in a recording and you just can't hear more. If you're a producer or a sound engineer, you know that fact. Things get different, not better. It's just a game of tastes.

Jul 24, 2018

raansire7I bought my Amirons on Ebay from an official retailers page. I offered to buy it for lower than MSRP of $600, and my initial offer was declined, but my second offer of $450 was accepted. I've never spent more than $500 on a pair of headphones despite there being so many over that price point that I want or want to try.

My little room work in progress.

It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.

I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review

The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners

How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.
