In another post u said you are using dt990 with xbox. Which one is it? DT1990 or DT990?
M0N, for horror atmospheric games, also the audioquest nighthawk?
That would be pretty freaky with the nighthawks lol, that would be pretty awesome. I personally canāt really play horror games though as I get jumpscared too easily and it drives me nuts lol

I hate jumpscares too, even non-horror movies some jumpscares scare me to death!
I used dt990 before, used. Now I use dt1990.
You recommended the m570 to me for positional accuracy in FPS gaming and you ranked them number 1. How come you donāt have them anymore? I just ordered themā¦
with the 2 weeks I owned the m570 I cant say I agree. positional audio was good sometimes. but not the best. the treble is way too forward to be good for gaming., forward treble can be beneficial in games but in this case it felt like actual assault. I do own the dt 990ās and love the treble on them and find the forward treble on those quite useful in games.the imaging on those and positional audio overall is my favorite in my collection for competitive. the m570s also have QC issues here was mine.

There are other headphones that I like the sound of more. The Nighthawk carbons for example. The m570 is still a great headphone and is the best gaming headphone that Iāve tried but I value music performance more than gaming performance so thats why I returned them.

I used the nighthawks to play through Resident Evil 3, the original one on the psx. Was a pretty great experience.

So after my disappointment with the M570ās hollow resonance, I am still curious about planars. I was otherwise impressed with the sound for music, but when itās just someone speaking the resonance was intense and reason enough to return them. Budget under $500. Do the Aivas or B20s have this issue as well? Iāve also been eyeing the Verum 1, but Iām hesitant about that one because I would not be able to return it for a refund if it doesnāt satisfy my taste.
Thanks. Which one is more immersive and fun for Single Player games, Nighthawk or Argon MK3? I love bass with rumble and punch but i hate muddy bass.
The Argon will have a boomier bass, but the midrange might get a bit muddy because of the bass.
Nighthawks sound a bit too easy for games if you want to play something that is very immersive and powerful in my opinion.

when u say easy for games is this good thing or bad thing?
What I mean by easy is that they are a tad more laid back, if you are looking for immersion then Argon > Nighthawk.

Ok so Argon Mk3 > Nighthawk for single player immersion (horror, witcher 3). Letās see what JJPablo has to say and I will pull the trigger after. I love rumble bass with a punch and good soundstage but i hate muddiness.
Yeah, no one is a fan of muddiness. But as I can see you are playing games in which immersion is a massive benefit. The same with FPS games. The Argon is the way to go.
More relaxing games such as Fez, or something that doesnāt involve big explosions like Dota would be better for the Nighthawk.

Strange, I find the argonās more traditional in sound, doesnāt really seem as immersive to me as the nighthawks, but thatās just me. I think the presentation and signature on the nighthawks makes it very exciting
