Am looking at getting a new set of cans, I hear good things about the Beyerdynamics, and here's my situation:
-Will be used mostly for gaming, but I don't care about the uber-3d positioning features that tend to make the sound quality garbage for the most part. I'm not out to win gaming competitions, I want some immersivity in my games
-also to be used secondarily for music so I need something that won't sacrifice sound quality for gaming to the point they sound like crap in music/movies
-looking at an ASUS Xonar Essence STX sound card upgrade
-I will need a microphone, so I may have to look at a mic mod (I'm a beginner with that stuff though)
So here is my shortlist for now:
-DT 880
-DT 990 PRO
-MX 300 (yes, it's a headset please don't ban me LOL.....but I will need a microphone, so......and on a side note, anyone know how these compare to the new Sennheiser 360??)
No amp right now but am definitely open to the possibility. Don't think I need the 600ohm variety cans though, my ears probably aren't that discerning.
I am a bit of a bass whore but not to the point it drowns out everything else. I guess I'm looking for something solid all-around.
So.......input, thoughts, comparisons? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
