After kind of staring at audiophile equipment for a few years not wanting to take the financial plunge, I finally pushed myself to do it and now I'm hooked.
So I got myself a pair of dt770 80ohm headphones, absolutely loving the upgrade as im going from a pair of logitech gaming headphones(G930). I Bought a $35 portable dac & amp which is doing good enough for now.
The reason I got the dt770s as I wanted closed back due to me being a truck driver and sound isolation is essential. I was wondering about maybe getting dt990 600ohm for home listening/gaming. as open back is better for gaming and sound stage. I was thinking of going to the $600-$1000 range for home headphones eventually, am I better off just waiting and using my dt770s til then? Also what would be a good upgrade in that area if I like the sound of the dt770s/dt990s?
Oh, I'm also upgrading to a new phone in january and most likely going with the LG v30, is it as good as I've been hearing? I would love not having to carry a dac around if I don't need to, I would imagine a dac from the source would be better than using a dac on a regular phones 3.5mm jack.
