Hey everyone! I'm trying to buy some new headphones and was hoping you could help me out with a few questions
-Budget : around the 300$ range (for headphones, amps on a seperate budget)
-musical preference: mostly Dub/House/Trance/Progressive electronic music also looking for rock/blues
main use: alot of PC gaming but really enjoy listing to quality music as well
-open/closed: Fine with open or closed design
-amp: dont have one currently but will get one that fits whichever headphone im getting (thinking E17 though)
Did my research for these headphones but I feel like I'm getting conflicting opinions everywhere.
general impression im getting is that the DT990 is the way to go if I want more Bass while still getting the higher end quality in middle and treble but im getting alot of opinions in the mid/treble range. I generally like a stronger mid and a neutral treble. Looks like theres some saying that the Dt990 premiums have a recessed mid with higher treble while the Pros have more of a heavier bass with more neutral mid/treble. Also people seem to be saying that 32 ohms and 600 ohms are the way to go rather than 250 when it comes to bringing out the middle. Im leaning towards the premiums just because it sounds like it has a little higher quality but would it be better to go for the heaver bass and neutral mid/treble of the Pros? Also im considering the 250 ohms over the 600 and 32 just because of quality (for the 32) and price(250 is cheaper). Finally, was wondering if I can correct some of the premiums higher treble with EQ settings or something like that with the E17 amp/dac.
Sorry for the wall of text and thanks!
