Best price for Beyerdynamic DT990??

[BandofBrothers]

Hi guys.

After hearing a LOT of praise about these headphones, I have decided I am going to buy a pair (I assume they come with the little adapter for the little green slot on the side of my hdtv)

Are these 2 links the same product?

http://www.superfi.co.uk/index.cfm/p...roduct_ID/1781


Why is one a lot cheaper? I have found like 5 different sites with various prices, and differing RRP prices.

Can anyone help me find the best price please.

Many thanks for any help



Edit: Also I heard the DT100 are famous for their build quality.....are these worth considering over the DT990's? if so, where is the cheapest place online in the uk, thanks

There are a few different models of the DT990, you have pre-2005 (I think it's was 2005) models and the latest models released from 2005 - You also have the pro models and normals models with different impedance values.

Are you going to be running them amped as you really should be?

can you link me to a good amp?

I have no ideas as far as headphone amps go lol

What sort of budget are we looking at for an amp?

[BandofBrothers]

no idea lol

just throw me some recommended amps @ various prices

I really have no idea how much decent ones are

The Heed CanAmp is at a very good price point and it's supposed to be pretty decent going on peoples opinions;

I currently use a NAIM Headline 2 and have a Corda Prehead MkII SE in the post, which I can't wait to get my hands on.

The price at Superfi is the old model of DT990 but they actually supply the new model which is worth quite a bit more.

As above,the Heed has some very good feedback,and moving up from there,the Slee range is very well reviewed.
From there,you can keep going on up to a whole lot more,but the law of diminishing returns eventually kicks in.
