Let me make 4 things clear (ranked by importance):
1) Gaming is my passion above all else. (70% of my time on RPGs, 30% on FPS's).
2) I watch almost ALL movies and TV shows through my computer.
3)I love rock, screamo-less metal, and oldie country. (mostly the first two).
4) My budget is around $600 (can go higher if theres a MUST buy).
So I have been thinking... which should I replace?!
If I ditch my Sound Blaster Z, will I really lose a lot of positional audio for gaming?? I always just figured big soundstage meant good/decent positional audio, but I hear constantly that DAC/AMP combos hurt gaming more than they help. I also hear that DAC/AMPs make your headphones sound significantly better, so im not sure on whether replacing my soundblaster z is worth doing over a new pair of cans.
Are there headphones for my style (read above) that put shame to the DT990 pros?? I always see suggestions of other headphones around the same price of my DT990s, but the problem is this: I want not only a pair that fits my style, but I want them to be of higher quality than that of the DT990s. I want to be able to sit in my chair and do the same things I always do and be completely satisfied that I bought different headphones.
Anyway, choose which one i should replace and what i should replace it with and why.
I really appreciate the time you all spend on my post.
Have an awesome 4th of july everyone!!!
