Hey, so could you guys please tell me what would suit best for me ? I don´t care about isolation,have big ears:frowning2:, i don´t mind open/closed,only for home use. I would propably buy Asus xonar DG for both of those, i know xonar dg can ony power up to 150ohm but do you think it would be bad choice for dt 990 250ohm ? If you have another choice for cheap soundcard that can power up dt 990 250ohm tell me :); also i think i would prefer more to hear the bass and less feel the bass. I mostly listen to dnb,soundtracks,proggresive house,alternative rock... something like this

Upto you DT770 are excellent closed phones good bass smoothe treble and nice stage. DT990 sound similar with an airier sound. I think airier open backs sound better but on the go DT770 is excellent they are both near the same level.

 


:frowning2: Do you think they are both good for my type of music ?

Fine for rock they can be a bit slow sounding and laid back though I find. The AKG 550 may be worth a look their mid range is decent and good clarity I would say they are better for rock than the beyers the soundstage on both beyers is better I'd say. I would put all three in the same league I'd personally go with AKG due to a better treble and faster sounding. All three are good choice if you want chilled sound with big soundstage and good bass go beyers, if you want a faster more clearer mid range phone go AKG550


AKG are out of my price range, so beyer .. But which one :) I will propably go for DT 990, now i need to think about if Xonar DG will be enough or if i should raise my budget and get Fiio E10
