I recently bought the Sony MDR-XB950N1, and I've loved them since day 1, great for listening to music, specially bass-heavy music. Not so great for gaming though, even with the the "bass effect" turned off, the bass would heavily drown out the mids, and highs. And they are not so great for long sessions due to being battery-powered and the fact that they're just not that comfortable on my ears, since the inside of the cups is kinda shallow and the drivers are angled. So I decided to start looking into open-back headphones since I'll be using them just at home, for gaming. I've now seen tons of videos, forum threads, etc. and have settled on the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Premium.
Now, I'm trying to make a decision between the 32 OHM or the 250 OHM versions. The 32 OHM version costs around $150 on amazon, and the 250 OHM version around $210. $60 price gap between the two. If I get the 250 OHM version, I would definitely need to buy an strong, warm amp (considering most people say that the DT 990 are kinda high on treble). With the 32 OHM version I'm not sure if an amp would help.
So my questions are: Will I get much better sound with the 250 OHM + Amp, or the 32 OHM + Amp combo?
Which amp would you guys recommend for each version?
