Beyerdynamic - DT 990 PRO (250 Ohm)

I have some Beyer DT990s i need to fix. My cat chewed the cable in half and so theyve been sitting in a box waiting for me to creck em open and replace the cable. In the meantime ive been using the HD599 from Sennheiser and they have also been great. 

It's worth it to save up for the DT990s. Bear in mind they are very comfortable and can be worn for long periods of time which is why I got them. They are not the most balanced (particularly spatially) and I need to use my monitors sometimes to balance sounds particularly leads or synths. But I like them for comfort and they work well enough. If your budget is low aim for comfort and balance and pick which is most important for you and lean that way. Comfort is more important than balance for me so I went with the BD 990s - as I can always go back to my monitors for balance and then back to headphones.

I have DT 990s i paired them with the fiio K11 Rdr Dac/amp and they sound Mint.

The DT900's are only 48ohm, much easier to drive - DAC is kinda overkill. I have 250ohm 990 pro's as well so I know where you're coming from, but 'horses for courses', not everyone needs the same. DAC is a big expense for little benefit in OP's case.

I bought my DT990 pros 2 years ago. They have been great. Recently i also bought a DAC (FiiO k5 ess) because music with lots of instruments sounded “muddy” (I don’t know to describe it I’m not an audiophile). That fixed my issue, now my music sounds incredible.

Yeah I’ve been rocking regular dt 990’s for a decade.

if there is word 'gaming' attached, it usually means below average quality with above average price and a lot of lights. Don't buy anything 'gaming' for gaming. Not chairs, not desks, and surely not headsets. Good audio headphones and a mic is the way to go. I got Beyerdynamic 990 and it is awesome. They have some version with mic attached, and as well stand alone microphone. it is German company, but I heard recently they are going to be acquired by Chinese. Still, I think the majority of their products are eu made.

BearDynamic dt770s or the dt990s, they worked the best for me. But the thing is 250 ohms sounded very good to me but the 80ohms ones had some hiss.

Beyerdynamic DT770 or DT990. If you want an actual headset with mic, Audeze Maxwell

For the price, you can't really beat them. They're solid quality headphones from a great company with higher priced models if wanted

I've been working with the 770s for about 5 years now. They're really good, but I find they make the audio "small". Not tinnie, or less loud, just a feeling of smallness. Recently, I've switched over to the 990s and they feel much fuller, so I recommend them.
