Arya Organic I cant believe you rated the 1990Pro mk2 so high, i have had them for a month testing against OAE2, Arys etc and they were honestly not great with and without eq (especially without) Try out organic
Nah, the treble is murderous. Speaking from experience
That’s a good point. I’ve been pleased with them, just not the borderline “wall hacks” like some people have claimed
I’ve been incredibly pleased with them for music. I can definitely notice a difference there. It’s mainly just the gaming piece. I don’t feel like I have “wall hacks” like some claim. But I’ll definitely try an amp
Yeah I may have jumped on the bandwagon for beyer just because I see a lot of gamers pushing them. I still need to get an amp to push them to their potential. I also still use a ps5 a good bit alongside PC so I wanted something that could be driven just from a controller
Volume is more than enough for the mkii in my experience so far at least
It’s the mk2 yeah. Debating on whether to get an amp just to see if it’d put out even better sound
The more I use them the more I like them. Incredible for music
I was originally going for that category with the Dt 990 pro, but I bit the bullet and treated myself on the 1990s. The more I use them the more I can tell differences, still better than turtle beach for sure
1990 MK2 is great, 990 Pro X treble is HORRIBLE for games. join the HD 490 gang.
Lots of people hate Beyer Treble. The only Beyers I can handle are the 1990 mk2 and the 1770 mk2
Get him some DT 1990 Pro Mk II and a standalone mic. I prefer the Sennheiser HD 490 pros. They’re pretty affordable.
Sennheiser has good sound quality, however the build quality and materials cannot be considered good, as evidenced by many budget models such as the HD 560S. I've had several Sennheiser headphones, and the plastic was flimsy. I was very careful with them, but I always had the feeling that the plastic could break, so I sold them after a while. Then I decided to try the Beyerdynamic DT 900 PRO X. They weren't too expensive, and I was pleased with the build quality. They're not light, so some people might find them heavy. They suited me in every way: the sound wasn't dull, but more musical; the build quality and repairability were good; and they were comfortable to wear! After a year and a half of use, I switched to the new DT 1990 PRO MKII, which I do not regret!
Love my DT 770 Pro and DT 1990 Pro MKIIs. 1990s are unbelievably good.
