DT 990 PRO (250 Ohm)

I had the 990, the 250ohms one, pretty nice but then I tried the m50 and it just clicked, I do listen and produce Neuro DnB and Tekno so I guess the 990 was just too flat for me, I think is all on taste at this point.

I‘ve been playing with the beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro 250 Ohm for a few weeks now and i‘m very happy with it!

100% I have the 990 Pro 250 ohm and cherish them deeply.

You can probably somewhat address this with EQ, but if you're going to mix on headphones, you probably want to get some that are flatter to begin with. As the old saying goes "You can't mix what you can't hear."

I got the 990 pros 250ohms with a DAC and they’re incredible after changing the EQ with angelcc, paired it with a cheap razer siren mini and it’s better than any ‘gaming’ headset u could ever get.

IMO open backed headsets make locating objects in 3D space easier for me vs. closed back. But headphones go north $ wise once you add gear like amp/dac, so here are some normal options. (No amp needed) Sennheiser HD 599 with their clip on mic - ~$165 if you find deal Price tracker included cuz you def missed out on holiday deals so you might wanna wait https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B07Q7S7247 https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0FRVVG2JQ Philips Fidelio X2 i think works with clip on mics as well A step up would be like beyerdynamic DT 990 80 Ohms, those really plushy, but IDK about mic options, you may have to get a boom/clip on but if you wanna dive deep an amped set up with beyerdynamic DT 990 250 Ohms is also option. If $150 is too much, their are a few sub $100 with mics included I can find. HyperX Cloud Series can be found pretty cheap and isnt too bad. You got a TON of options tho, so shop around.

I'm pretty happy with my DT990 Pro tbf. 250 ohm version. They really come alive when driven with my old Marantz amp.
