I’ve heard a lot about 58x but then I watched some vidoes on them and half were saying the 6xx are better and the others said the 58x’s are. I recently went to SchiitR and tried out the Hd800S and was blown away by how wide it sounded and really enjoyed that, but I just want whatevers best for pin pointing enemys foot steps and that I can also enjoy music on.
At that price range, I think the dt1990 is a great value if you want the most for your budget for gaming performance. It is a bit expensive tbh, so actually something like the dt880 600 ohm is very good and honestly what I would pick. I would pick up a fiio k5 pro with that and I think you would be pretty set
I was thinking about those are the 660s, do you think a schiit magini, modi stack can drive them?
Wait are you talking about the 660s or the 880 600 ohm? The magni modi stack would drive them just fine (but personally I prefer the topping d10 + liquid spark stack)
I was talking about the 660s and I already bought the dac and amp with a Loki EQ
Gotcha, the 660s are good imo, but actually for competitive gaming I think the 880 600 ohm might be the better choice imo because it has a brighter signature that helps emphasize spatial queues, and I actually think the 880 also has better ability to recreate a space that makes them better in games.
I second the dt880 600ohm. Got them yesterday and they’re my new favorite rn.
are the dt880 even as close to as wide as the HD800S? Right now I oonly have razer krakens so I feel like Anything is going to be an immense change. I just have no clue about headphones so I’m gonna buy whatever you say is best out of the bunch!
Also does the 1990 stomp on the 880 600 ohm at that price difference?
I think they can get pretty wide imo, probably best for the price. IMO the 800s is impressive at first, it is pretty exaggerated after listening for a while (but that’s my opinion)
Compared to the 1990, I think the 1990 has wider soundstage and more impressive imaging and is an overall upgrade for gaming compared to the 880, I think it would be the most you would reasonably want to spend on a setup like this
would you say the 880 is better than the 58x
I think it is a large upgrade in technicalities, but I do think the 880 600 ohm might have a slightly better sound signature (but that actually might not matter to you)
For competitive gaming yes for sure
do you think they’re better than 990 too?
So personally I think the 880 600 ohm is the most refined and technically capable out of the 770 880 and 990. The 990 has some boosted treble that might be helpful for extreme games, but I think the 880 600 ohm can better recreate a space that allows for more accurate placement
Do you think the 6xx would be the better buy for me?? or should I go with the 880 600 ohms
For gaming I would not suggest the 6xx, it does not preform well in games and is more of a music headphone. If your really wanted to game in the senns the 58x or 660s would be my pick, but I think the 880 600 ohm is still what I would recommend
and just to confirm my modi magini stack can handlle it right?
Yes, you should have no problem with them with the magni 3. I’ve seen less powerful amps run the 600 ohm just fine
I have the magini 3 Heresy and experiencing the wideness of the 800S was like heroin and i need more… XD if the 880 600 ohm is similar I’ll buy the black edition rn
