. You could also save some money and just go for the 990's.I started playing Apex Legends as my main since season 4, I love this game! The DT 990 Pro gives you a great rumble down low. As I mainly play at night I'll be looking to grab the 700 Pro X for isolation! From what the other members are reporting, these are largely the same sound signature but now with a 48 Ohm impedance. Thus not needing too much power to drive these babies! If you already have the 770 Pro then maybe you could go for the 900 Pro X which is similar to the MMX 300 or Tygr and call it a day!
I've got the 770 Pro (80 ohm), 990 Pro (250 and 600 ohm) and the new 900 Pro X. Compared to the 770, the 990 bass is reduced but there is still a bass boost and more so than most other open back 'audiophile' type headphones. In terms of the general sense of how 'bassy' the 900 Pro X sounds, without concentrating too much, I'd say it is broadly the same as the 990 Pro. As soon as you do start actively listening hen it is clear that the 900 Pro X is more defined/tighter in that region and it also extends deeper, so you get sub bass too. I'd got so used to my 990's that hearing the bass go so low was quite a a surprise. Not that the 990's are especially bad in that area, in fact they are like most other open backs. The 900 Pro X also isolate better than the 990 Pro, which makes me think that they are heading towards a semi-open design, which would also explain how they avoid as much low frequency roll-off.
Thats awesome to hear, and yeah why not try, Im sure they'll sound amazing! Thank you for the replyI don't know about the 900 but I own both the 770's and 990's and the 990's definitely have a serious punch and excellent subbass. I like to EQ to increase their subbass a bit because it sounds really great, but I don't feel it's a necessity. From what I read the 900's have at least as much bass as the 990's, so you should be good. I'd say go for it
I thought about isolation too but I game in my own room so it shouldnt be too much of a problem!I started playing Apex Legends as my main since season 4, I love this game!

Side note: If you're competitive like me, then you'll also notice Apex Legends sound engine is broken aF for the last few seasons! Still comes down your aim and positioning! Season 11 + New map looks to be cool but be prepared for the same broken servers and bugs that Respawn seem to do at every launch!
Thank you so much for that detailed response, much appreciated towards my buying decision!!!
Im cursed because I hear Mount Beyer every moment of every day. My tinnitus tone is located at 10,200 hertz. Fortunately the volume is very low. Who knows, maybe because of this, having one of these headphones might be a good thing for me.I was waiting on a frequency response for these new Beyers, thanks
The DT900 genuinely looks like a combination of the DT990 and the DT1990, still with the infamous mount Beyer treble. It’s a little difficult to judge by the measurement alone, but looking at the frequency response for the DT1990 made on the same rig (presumably), it’s obvious we’re witnessing the same treble behaviour.
Dammit…
Honestly, I've not heard a DT1990, but the DT990 (600 and 250 ohm) are my regular drivers and the DT900 Pro X has significantly less treble, to the point where I would even EQ it up a tad. To me, the tonality is quite different, as the DT900 does not have the same V shaped sound and the mids are much more forward than the DT990. I've flicked between a bunch of my headphones recently and I'd say that he DT900 is closer to my K371's in treble and midrange than to to the DT990's. I still prefer my DT990's, but I'm sure many will prefer the DT900's.I was waiting on a frequency response for these new Beyers, thanks
