Hi everyone, thanks in advance for your opinion and replies!
 
I have DT-990 premium 250 Ohm paired with Creative ZxR, so far i'am happy with it but you know it is never enough :)
 
So i wonder what could be next upgrade, i could go for something like 500EUR in Europe. But maybe ZxR would limit next level headphones? 
 
I use headphones for music (rock, house, some pop, electronic. Not classics) and gaming BF4 hardcore and other games casual.
 
What i dislike most of DT-990 is headband, it feels like hurts my head after some use, though i almost got used to it so i wouldn't  dismiss something from Beyerdynimic... Sound seems great, but sometimes it seems i miss something, though i can't tell for sure what, because i had my hands on too little hardware to tell for sure :)
 
And should be open for sure.
 
So maybe something superior out there could make this upgrade?
 
Some "usual suspects" for the upgrade is T 90, Hifiman HE-400i (100 EUR more than T90), cant find nothing more.. is this stuff worth it over DT990?

Thanks Shaffer! :wink:
 
Meh, nobody want to give a hand :)
 
Gone through some pages of T90 thread and decided to go for it, as it seems a descent upgrade over DT-990. Anyway i got terrible hand itch to buy something :) Ant it seems for price of T90 i can't get something better, and i don't want HD 600/650 i don't know why :)
 
Hope ZxR will handle it well, or i will need to spend some cash on amp.

I am also rather pleased with 990, especially in games, but in music i sometimes feel something is missing, so i decided to upgrade, then i will see weather it is my ZxR fault or 990 and do next step.
 
Will post my impressions, though it will be rather noobish :D
