Hi there. This is my second post on here, this time regarding a choice I have come down to. I have found 2 headphones, the Fidelio X1 and the DT990 Pro. I play games like skyrim, gta, far cry, Minecraft, ect. I also enjoy listening to classic rock, Mumford and sons, classical, and some rap. I edit videos daily. Which of the two names headphones would be the best? Thank you for any replies

Hey!
 
DT990 Pro and Fidelio X1 are quite different headphones
 
The Beyer is analytical, very detailed and clear.
The Fidelio is more cohessive and bloomy but also more forgiving with poorly recorded music.
 
I had both in the past and preferred the Beyerdynamic.
It's a technically better headphone but more picky with recordings and amplification.
 
Best Luck!

from what I've hear on here they're very alike. I've never heard the 990s get. Called analytical before. Which would be better for the purposes I gave, if you don't mind?

Well no, they're not that much alike.
Both are open back headphones with a slight bass and treble boost but the Fidelio is closer to the Sennheiser HD6x0 in overall sound signature. It's hard to explain in words but having both side by side, the Beyer is cooler and sharper.
 
Based on your purposes I would suggest the Fidelio X1 which is a more forgiving headphone, easier to drive and has bigger bass (for rap). Both are comfortable and well built.

The X1 also has Boompro support if you ever want to use it as a headset. It's a good all-rounder for sure.

I'm not planning on using it as a headset. I make YouTube videos, so I already have mic. Thank you for the help. Any idea on how these compare to the dt990s?
