So I have a broken pair of dt 990s that I used for 4 years, one speaker works still. I tried the cable mod and it went badly so now I have to shop for new headphones.
My thoughts on each pick.
DT 770 250Ohm: I already have a good speaker so if one goes out I can just replace it (assuming I get better at soldering)
Vmoda M100: It has detachable cable already and more bass which is what I want. More bass than my 990s But I head they are uncomfortable to some people and the bass extends to far.
DT 990 250Ohm: I had almost no bass, this is what I want more of in a new set of cans, I amped it with a Fiio E11 on high gain with a the bass EQ boost and it still wasn't enough bass for me to really feel it.
I won't be using these for music, strictly for gaming/youtube/podcasts. Not competitive gaming either so sound stage might not be as big of an issue since I will be playing singleplayer games like divinity original sin.
