Started my Beyer infatuation with the DT770 Pro 80s and DT880/32ohm at the same TIME (ordered one open and one for closed/bass). I loved both but they weren't right for me for my applications (needed them to excel for Dolby Headphone gaming, the 770 pros did but were too muddy in general, the 880/32 is probably the best headphone I've heard but just didn't do as well in pinpointing rear sounds with my Mixamp). Since then I have gained the best of both worlds with the DT990/600ohm. My love of bass and open sound combined into one headphone was god's gift to me. Not only is it wonderful with music, but it works spectacularly when gaming with Dolby Headphone. Virtual Surround sounds sooooo good with it.
My next Beyer purchase will be the DT770/600ohm as an upgrade to my Creative Aurvana Live (which I love even more than the 770 Pro 80s), since I want an audiophile quality closed headphone, and I know DT770's do so well with gaming too.
To anyone wondering, I use my Mixamp as a pre-amp and hook that up to my E9. But to be honest the Mixamp powers them well enough alone for gaming as long as you have the Mixamp juicing the game audio completely, without a hint of voice chat mixed in. DH spreads the sound enough making it hard to notice them being underdriven, and besides, when you're gaming in virtual surround you're not overanalyzing how perfect the sound is compared to music listening.
