And they don't have that bad feeling for music ? I mean there aren't those sharp highs and they have better mids ?
I think i'm gonna buy them ( also I don't think it'll need an amp ^^ )
Thanks
I cant really comment on that. I have read about others complaining about the highs of the Fidelio series in the past. Either I got a great pair,or my ears arent bothered by it the way Beyer highs bother me.
Movies and games are quite similar,err,at least action movies. Lots of added bass.Its been my experience when a headphone is good for games,it crosses over to films to varying degrees,based upon genre of films.

Regarding music:

I own some very nice,expensive headphones for music listening,so I never(and I repeat,NEVER)use my X1s for music.
I do think think 500.00 is insane for the Fidelios though. Def not worth that kind of cash IMO.
If you can get the DT990s for a better price,go ahead and do that. The difference isnt massive.
Again,get the 32 ohm version if you dont want to bother with an amp.

I'm so sad, because in 2 days the price of the DT990 Edition went up ( from 140 to 190 € O_o ), but the only difference between Edition and pro is clamping and cable type right ? ( Pro is at 122€ actually ) I've also heard that the Pro was a bit more bassy and has cleaner trebles and not that recessed mids. ( according to this thread : https://www.head-fi.org/threads/guide-sonic-differences-between-dt770-dt990-models-more.513393/ )
I want to buy 250 Ohms version, but for the amp, I can't find any Magni 3 in my country.. any other idea ?
Also, I dont know if you noticed the Edit 4, so I said : After inquiring, I'm more listening to these kinds of musics : dubstep, house, electropop,.. and also animes openings :3
Here are some examples of musics I love to listen to, to give you an idea :






( ikr the last 2 ones are stupid ^^ )
And much more in this kind..
Thanks

I have no experience with any DT990s other than the 600ohm version.
Regarding the amp,again I have no idea whats available in France. Perhaps look in the classifieds and see if there are any used items for sale in Europe you can use.

Yeah,lots of synthetic bass/pop style vocals. Most bass heavy headphones will give you what you need.

So yeah,either the DT990(open) 32 ohm version or DT770(closed) 32 ohm version will work w/o an amp. If you opt for the 250 ohm version of either you will need an amp.

The 770 will have more bass. The 990 will have a wider staging. Very similar sound signatures.

So that means I should take 770. There isn't the edition version of it in France (removed yesterday :/) so I will need to take the pro one. I'll find the amp myself ^^. Thanks for your help !
EDIT : On the thread I sent you before, they say dt990 have more bass o_o : https://www.head-fi.org/threads/guide-sonic-differences-between-dt770-dt990-models-more.513393/

I'm so freaking lost..

Dude,

I cant advise you anymore than I already have. Seriously.
I suggested to you awhile back that you should just order the V-Moda M100s and be done with it. They have more bass than either Beyer,and more bass than any headphone Ive suggested previously,other than the Kannons.
They dont need an amp. Theyre closed back. They have so much bass with proper EQing that my teeth were rattling.

Read thru this thread for EQ tips. I met Disco at a He3ad-Fi meet a cpl years ago,and his V-Modas were shaking the very earth with bass and his EQing.

Haven't received the Fiio E10K, because I found a Focusrite Scarlet Solo 2nd Gen in my house.
The DT 770 Pro 80 Ohms is... amazing. Honestly I found it has the perfect amount of basses and I don't find the treble bad at all !
Would recommend to anyone :D
