Ok, so recently my DT 990s packed up (under warranty, so I got a full refund) and I am now looking for a replacement.
I will be using these for everything, gaming, movies and listening to music.
Here are all of the headphones I’ve ever tested and my thoughts:
DT 990s (250ohm) - My daily driver for the last year, great detail and incredible soundstage. The only problem was the treble which benefitted from EQ.
DT 880s (250ohm) - Very good, unfortunately not as detailed as the 990s but they didn’t suffer from the massive treble spike, the soundstage was also narrower.
HD 560s - Very clinical, I found them incredibly neutral but a bit boring to listen to.
I’ve recently gotten my hands on some HD 599s and am currently testing them, I’m also waiting on the TYGR 300rs for testing alongside them. The 599s are £90 and the TYGRs are £120, essentially what I’m wondering is what you guys would suggest, what would you do in my situation? Ideally I’d like to spend as little as possible while getting as much for my money as I can.
Thanks for the help lads.
