I have the Philips SHP9500s for competitive (not pro) gaming. Would the Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250 ohm cans be an upgrade when used with VSS and looking for good positional audio for footsteps and gunshots? Will likely be using with the Sound BlasterX G6.
How about the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro Plus?
Thanks guys.
I'm gonna plant the seed of doubt here.
Having myself both the GSX 1000 and the G6, I really feel the GSX (without reverb) gets more pinpoint positional accuracy compared to the G6. The G6, although cleaner sounding and more powerful, might feel confusing at times, not coherent compared to the GSX, when talking about positional cues.
Just my 2 cents. If you can, get both and keep the one you like the most. It's a toss up in most scenarios, but competitively I'd give the slight edge to the GSX.
I've kept both, but in the end, I just use the G6 as a line out to my selfpowered desktop speakers. I really like how clean it sounds with them. Headphone surround is all about the GSX.
