Quote:   Maybe you do, but I don't bottom out much when gaming. I prefer mech switches because I know exactly when the key is pressed and released, as opposed to being able to feel the bump in the key but still not press hard enough for it to register like on membrane/scissor switches...

Back to playing DayZ all the time again... 9.5/10, even with the bugs and ****. Game is absolutely amazing.

Playing the new XCom. Having a lot of fun.   Only complaint are the dang mini-cutscenes every time you find an enemy.

So much want. Next time I get some money I'm gonna have to pick up a pair of these. They sound like exactly what I'm looking for in a headphone.

GW2 (still lets me use my beta key even though the game is released lol). Thought I'd try it out and see if anything's improved... Nuh. 5/10. Time to look for a new go-to game to play until DayZ goes standalone.

Quote: Uh... That's exactly what overrated means.

Quote: Haven't heard either of those headphones. I wouldn't describe the DT770 80ohm as bright, compared to most headphones I've heard (Q701, SRH940/840, M50, any Grado). If anything the treble is a bit rolled off. I'd definitely describe the 250ohm as bright though.

Quote: To my ears, far less harsh and bright. After listening to the M50, my DT770s sounded dark in comparison.

Quote: They're only repetitive if you play them like that. They're called sandbox for a reason, you do whatever if you want.

I personally found the M50s very harsh. People describe the DT770s as bright/borderline sibilant but they sound positively dark compared to the M50s.

Past week or two, nothing but DayZ. Absolutely amazing.

I'd say it's not very flat at all. Sounds very V shaped, with recessed mids, and in-your-face bass and highs.

Quote: Not really, at least not the DT770.   @OP, I'd go for some Creative Aurvana Live! headphones.

I find the M50s are greatly overrated. I didn't like them much at all, especially not for $160+. Maybe around $100-$110 they'd be decent.
