2nd set of headphones to compliment DT880s
Looking for a second set of headphones to compliment my Beyer DT880s. I am relatively new to the audiophile world and have really been enjoying my DT880 250 ohm, with my Schiit Vali/Modi stack. I really like the sound that I have, but want to continue experimenting. I'm looking at a budget of $200, so that would include the 58x, 6xx, HE4xx, and the K7xx, but I'm open to other suggestions. I listen to a wide range of music, but mostly acoustic and indie. Bands like Manchester Orchestra, SYML, Elias... What would pair with my Vali and give me a different sound. Thanks

Tony: in this context, it's "complement" and "complementary," in the sense that other HFs will add to or complete your kit. The double e's in complement are a handy way to remember the correct usage.

Took your advice and just placed my order for the HD6xx. Between your advice and the countless great reviews they have received, I'm really excited to get them and add them to my collection.

Thanks, I saw that in other reviews as well. I was looking for something with a different sound from my DT880s. Just starting to get into this and thought the HD650 would give me a good complimentary sound. Plus, so many reviews out there use the HD650 as a reference point. I'm sure I will continue to experiment and add to my collection over time.

Aserpico73A lot of people like the sound, but don't accept it as a reference, or feel like something's wrong if you don't enjoy it. They are a very over hyped headphone, which isn't to say they're bad. The good news is that they sell well used if you're not a fan!

I own the 880, 6XX, and 4XX, and have heard the 7XX. The 6XX and the 4XX would provide the biggest difference in sound signature. But with your preferred genres and your stack, I'd say the 6XX is your best bet. Between the two, you'll have a really nice sense of two contrasting, well-done sound signatures.

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
