How do the TAKSTAR PRO82 compare with the Beyerdynamic DT990 250 Ohm Edition? Just the extra price justify? Which should I get? I have a Audiotrak Prodigy HD2 Advance DE sound card which has 180 Ohm output.
You asked in my for sale thread, but I'll answer here. These are completely different headphones... apples and oranges. The DT990 is open back. It will have a wider soundstage and a more airy feel, but will also leak sound. Are you looking for open or closed?
The Takstar sounds more detailed to me. The DT990 will have more bass, a sharper treble. It's not as revealing as the Takstar, but more dynamic and "fun", as long as the trebles don't bother your ears. Again, these are not similar headphones and a strange pair to be shopping against each other.
