I have a beyerdinamic 990 600ohm, along with a smsl su8, and project polaris amp, the use is exclusive for games, and I was thinking of changing to something that gives more detail, for example when I play at fps. I’m reading good reviews for the HD560 and the tygr 300, HiFiMAN Sundara or maybe look at other models?
Change dt990?

Takstar HF 580 planar headphones, with Sendyaudio AVIA ear pads.
I have those Beyers and had all the ones you mention. For gaming out of the 170 models I've bought and sold the best was the Audio Technica adh1000x, Grado 325 with it's excellent driver matching, and the HD800s of course, but the price is sky high.
Nothing beats a silent noise floor and headphones with drivers matched within .5db. Also the ADH1000X has the best female vocals I've heard. I think the Grado 225 and higher have the really close driver matching. If I was going to play for prize money I'd get the 1000x or Grados unless money is no object.

Audio Technica ATH-AD700(X), lots of positive feedback from FPS gamers.
The Beyerdynamic Amiron Home have been recommended to me, but I can't find references in gaming on the forums
a perhaps silly question, is the ADH1000x the same as the ATH-AD1000X? It is that I have located a second-hand one at a very good price, but the pads must be replaced

I'm guessing ADH1000x is a misspelling of ATH-AD1000x.
