@MLE - You said the G6 and HD6xx works but does not have much (or any) headroom. I have the HD 660s which has a lower ohm (150). Do you think it would be a good match with the G6 without adding an additional amp?
A lot of modern smart phones should decently drive 150-Ohm headphones.
And the Creative G6 should offer a more powerful headphone amplifier.

I will be playing apex,overwatch,six siege,tarkarov and battlefield . Which headphones purely for these games is the best? Is dt1990 a overkill for them? Or is dt880 600ohm or sennheiser hd58x will be a good choice.

If the Mobius was the same price as the Penrose, would it be "better" to buy the Mobius for the additional features or just stick with the newer Penrose?

EDIT: regarding the PS5 and Tempest 3D

600-Ohm headphones are just not that practical, for most people.
Check out the Soundmagic HP200 headphones.

Mobius does not work with the PS5. You'd have to attach it via Aux only. Not wireless. So for PS5, Penrose makes much more sense.

So,someone try connection to ps5 dual sense 3,5 jack? If it’s any improvement? Better amp? Better sound? Or it’s again trash?
I have used the LCD-X, Arya, Sundara, and HD660S and most of the time the volume is too low to be enjoyable. At max volume, the Sundara is the only one that sounds reasonably loud. I never used the 3.5mm with my PS4 bc my headphones sounded better through USB.

Really?! That sucks! I would think it would work through USB from the console to the Mobius like other USB headphones. Glad I checked here first before pulling the trigger on them.
