Hey guys.   Been using the DT 990 pros for almost a year now and love them, but I am having an unsure with the right side of the headphones. They seem to be slightly quieter then the left and it has only started to bother me recently. Any known fix for these? I have move the cord around...

Yeah thats what I was thinking buying something cheaper at the start with the headphones and later on down the track trying out amps. Are there any other sound cards you could recommend around $50?

Yeah was going to say some people do not agree that the sound cards can handle the 990s but I will take your word for it. Thanks again for all the help! Sorry for being noob =P

One last quick thing Mal, if I get a Asus Xonar DG I wont need to get a mix amp? or will I need to get both? Just editing there is: Asus Xonar DGX PCIE Gaming soundcard, 5.1 Channel, Dolby, Up to 105dB, Built-in Headphone AMP, or Asus Xonar DSX PCIE soundcard, 7.1 Channel DTS Digital Surround...

Thanks for all the info man will look at the other headsets but Dt990 + the E10 is looking like a winner atm 

Found it its Realtek ALC889

I have a realtek audio driver? Really noob at this. Mother Board is a gigabyte x58a-ud3r

After doing a little more research it seems that I am going to need an amp for the DT990 250 to make them any good? Can anyone confirm this? Also is the E10 suitable for this headset as it falls within a good price range for me? 

Will I need an amp for this though? I only have a intergrated sound card on the mobo?

Hey guys. I am interested in buying a good pair of headphones. I will be adding a microphone to these. Either mod one on the side or use a desktop one. Currently I am choosing from the DT990 Pro 250Ohm for $215 or the Audio Technica AD700 for $125. I do not have a sound card or amp although...
