Hi all,
This is my first message in this forum so hi everybody
I currently have an AKG K550 + Asus Xonar DG combo in my computer and Im very happy with the quality of the result. But Im looking to upgrade. After doing some research the first option is this one:
Beyerdinamic DT770pro 250ohm + Asus Xonar Essence STX
But Im not sure if those headphones would be a jump big enough from what I have now, even with the Essence STX. So Im asking for your advice. I dont care spending 300€ on headphones if Im going to notice the difference. But before spending like 450€ between everything I have to be sure.
My main use is gaming, films and listening to music, electronic mainly but Im happy with the bass of the AKG K550, I dont need a super huge bass. But I do enjoy the clarity of the sound (specially compared to "gaming" headphones I had in the past) when I listen other types of music. So Im looking for something versatile and with sound quality.
I would prefer if the headphones were closed, as there is a lot of noise in my building and Im afraid that some of it could come in through the headphones if they were open. Or I dont have to be so worried about this? In that case Ive heard good things about the Sennheiser HD600. Would I move those with the Essence STX?
What I do not like are leather pads, my ears sweat like no tomorrow on summer, so Id rather have something different.
I think I dont forget anything. Thanks a lot for your help, you have an amazing forum.
Cheers!
