Hi everyone!
A few months ago I asked about the Beyerdynamics DT770-990 headphones and I've come to a point where I feel it would be good to gain everyone's opinion.
I know for a fact that I really want the DT770 or DT990, but dont know what to get (as the DT880 is getting out of my price range)
I will primarily be at my computer, and I know that I will be buying an amp too. At the moment I have Astro A40's that i use for everthing from gaming to producing.
I really want the DT770's because of the closed back design and the fact that I already have an semi-open backed headset (A40's) but many say that they would be good for listening to music more than producing and gaming.
That's where the DT990's come in. The open-backed design is something that I'm skeptical of, but I know from experience that they are better for gaming and have a wider soundstage.
I have also heard of the "V" sound signature(*...?) of both the DT770 and DT990, and the minor differences about the bass in both cans. I was wondering if I would even be able to recognize that "V" sound signature (*...?) and/or would it be extremely apparent as I am coming from the A40's
If there's anyway to get a more neutral sound out of either of these headphones, can people please tell me (i.e. amps/DACs, EQ's, or even other headphones) I'm up for any suggestions.
If anyone can help me with the minor details regarding sound relating to my concerns (*is that the right word?) between the two that would be great.
Thank you
