tryed em all. went back to the Iridium. Hollar if you want to get in depth. I use a 32ohm set of dt770s make sure they are low ohm. I was using 250ohm and it sounds like muffled ass.

absolutely. I plug my headphones in, plug my guitar in and hit a a chord. it feels good every time. I had a Endgame and tbh it was clipping ass. a cool piece of kit that didn't perform well for what I needed. YMMV.

Hey, i recently bought DT770 Pro black edition and was wondering how i should drive them considering i'm mostly gonna use them for gaming/listening to music on my PC. I don't really have a huge budget for it sth like 100 bucks would be nice, anyway if you have any reco would be nice. (btw they are 250Ohm)

Ultimately you have to look at the pictures. Look at these, DT770, big giant cups. [https://north-america.beyerdynamic.com/p/dt-770-pro](https://north-america.beyerdynamic.com/p/dt-770-pro)

They are comfortable, yeah. I got some the other year and really like them.

Yup. Over ear or in ear is practically mandatory with glasses. The DT770 headphones are a pretty good choice.

Then get either a professional(non-gaming) headset, or get professional headphones and microphone(non-gaming) For example right now I have an Audient id4 mk2 interface, BeyerDynamic DT770 headphones, and a Sennheiser MKE600 mic on my desk. Free yourself of the gaming market and there's so many good choices that will last for many years. If you want a headset, get a professional headset that would be used on the job, not a gaming headset.

If he’s ok with a wired one, look into the beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro, 32 Ohm version. Built well, repairable. No active noise cancelling but they insulate well enough that they might work for him. The pads are also THE MOST COMFORTABLE EVER. But, cable. Whatever you do, stay away from anything by Audio Technica. They’re notorious for breaking right on the yoke between earpads and headband. For earplugs, look into Mack’s Thermafit soft foam earplugs with NRR 29. I myself have small ears and they work great for me. I’m very sensitive to noise, and when needed I pair those earplugs with headphones

Ich hab die Limited Edition als auch die DT 770 Pro 32Ohm und muss sagen, die Pro X Limited Edition piepsen durchgehend (nur hörbar mit guten Ohren? Oder AuDHS?), dämmen weniger die Außenwelt (weniger Anpressdruck) und die Höhen kratzen in den Ohren.. Zudem stört das piepen bein gucken von leiseren Videos extrem (viele achten sowieso nicht auf ihre Klangqualität, wodurch ständig das doofe rauschen und PC Lüfter in den Videos hörbar sind) Ich bevorzuge meine DT 770 Pro und brauche dringend mal neue Polster für sie 😁

I’m a sound engineer by profession, so I can comment on wired headphones, which are preferred in my industry. (this is just my subjective experience) Open-back headphones are arguably the best-sounding type—bar none—but their main drawback is that they don’t perform well in noisy environments. You’ll end up turning up the volume to compensate for ambient noise, which can damage your hearing. When it comes to closed-back headphones, my top choice would be the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro, 32-ohm version (note: they come in 32, 80, and 250-ohm variants). The 250-ohm version might be on special, but it requires a dedicated headphone amplifier to drive properly. These headphones are well-regarded in the industry and are known for their comfort and durability. I couldn’t afford those, unfortunately, so I opted for the Sony MDR-7506. They might look a bit silly, but they sound great—if perhaps a bit bright (think of it like slightly turning up the treble knob on your EQ, if you’re unsure what “bright” means). These headphones have been used by countless sound engineers around the world and are considered something of a benchmark in the industry. There are also many alternatives or clones, such as the Audio-Technica ATH-M50, which are just as good—and some even come in Bluetooth versions. Finally, I had to buy cheap closed-backs for our field recording kits and for musicians to use while tracking, and I ended up getting AKG K72s, which I think are excellent value for money. Honourable mentions: Sennheiser HD25-II – They sound amazing and reject external noise well, but they pinch my ears to my head, which is uncomfortable. Sennheiser HD280 Pro – Another industry workhorse. No comment, except… Joe Rogan. Shure SRH840A – Never tested them, so can’t comment. AKG K371 – Also never tested, but they’re generally well regarded. *edits: mostly formatting

There's no such thing as gaming specific audio, just get good headphones. If you want immersive I'm assuming you mean bassy and closed back with leather pads. My best recommendation would probably be the beyerdynamic dt 770s (32 ohm version unless you have or want to get an amp) and replace the pads with the dekoni leather/fenestrated leather.

This my EXACT setup. The Iridium is so simple, and it sounds absolutely lovely with 32ohm DT770s. Even with variety of pedals (including dirt) and guitars, it sounds and feels “real” and continues to blow me away.
