Great price drop for these amazing set of cans. Highly recommend getting an amp to get the most out of these.

Updated, thanks!
Thought I would be satisfied with the WH-1000XM4 for my PC usage, but upon learning about the limitations of bluetooth codecs and Windows I'm considering getting some wired headphones.
Would these be a good entry set? Would probably pick up a Topping MX3 to drive them.
These are fantastic headphones. They are meant for home use, and being open back they leak sound.
They are great headphones, you will need an amp powerful enough to drive the 250ohms though. i thought my Xonar DGX sound card would be enough to power the cans, but it wasnt pumping enough volume. Went with a Fiio E10K in the end and its been working brilliantly.
Awesome headphones, I use it for gaming and movies/music. I didn't require an amplifier as my motherboard supported up to 600 Ohm headsets and theses were really loud and clear.
Great price. Just bought some 880s a month bank and noticed they are cheap too at like $292!
Have any amp recommendations?
Wasnt getting enough power to drive 250ohms with my Asus Xonar DGX. After some research i picked up the popular Fiio E10K, great little dac amp combo. The headphones are great too.
My Luxman DA200 drives this beautifully
Yes this is a good price. I own two pairs (both retired to cupboard as spares)… my thoughts are:
Pros:
Cons:
I've been using my pair at least 3 days a week for ~4 hours a day, for 3 years, and while the ear pads aren't like new condition, they're still fine IMO.
Okay, but 3 days per week is not frequent use.
If you search the web for feedback about the pads, plenty of people saying they go flat after a year of frequent use.
When they go flat you start to feel the frame underneath. The top headband also goes flat, causing pressure up top. Some people simply pay the $50 to get new pads, as I've done several times over the years. Others will look for headphones with pads that last longer.
I have no doubt Beyerdynamic have made a TON of cash from the replacement pads.
Agreed, regarding usage. I would say "frequent" would be at least a few hours every day.
Are there international currency transaction fees involved?
Kinda wish I got these to compare vs the AKG K702s.
it looks like this is still on, and the price has actually gone down to $176.40
Should I purchase from the local authorised reseller ($239) or Amazon UK ($201)? My consideration is the after sale service and warranty issues? Anyone can share your experience? Many thanks, Roy.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to get from Amazon UK? $180.02 with prime delivered.
