HOW MUCH YOU WOULD RATE THE DT990 PRO FOR gaming ?_ look because i am playing different genres in gaming like Action games Action-adventure games Adventure games Role-playing games Simulation games Strategy games Sports games Puzzle games Idle games Shooter Fighting Survival Action-Adventure Games MMORPG I MEAN in all these genres of game which i am playing the dt990 pro will be very good?/ 1)for you which are the best top 5 studio headphones for gaming in , the budget is 170 - 400 euros max? from the best to worst studio headphones for gaming ? can you rate them ? please with order? 2)in the guide of madlast envy is saying that the dt990 pro are great for gaming do you agree? with her review for dt990 pro? https://www.head-fi.org/threads/mad...0-25-2018-creative-aurvana-trio-added.534479/ These are GREAT for gaming. Probably easier on the ears than they are for music, as the treble's edge isn't as pronounced in Dolby Headphone mode. There is a greater soundstage, more fantastic bass impact than the 880s (super quick and tight, and unobtrusive still, but more lively), and the detail retrieval is on par, if not better than the 880s due to the more emphasized treble, and just as detailed mids (though the mids aren't as forward as the bass and treble). If you want a more fun oriented sound than the 880s have for gaming, the 990s are it. The bass isn't boomy, but more omni-present, which adds to the immersion. They also work very well for the hardcore gamers out there who wanna nitpick the finer details in games like Call of Duty. Imaging is excellent, and overall positioning is better than the 880s. The hole between 5 and 7 is no longer there, though it's still not as good at judging front and rear sounds as my other faves. However it does it well enough for me that I happily sold the killer K701s as I saw no need to own anything for gaming after the 990s at the time. The treble WILL be too much for some people, though I believe that is more of an issue with it's use in regular stereo. For gaming, I didn't ever feel it got up there... Comfort-wise, they can be truly great a hit or a miss for some. One, the padding is pretty much one of the best I've felt on any headphone. I love velour, especially ones as soft as these. The DT990 is very lightweight, and it will feel like pillows caressing the side of your head. The miss part is that the space for your ears to fit in isn't big and your ears may press against the padding protecting the drivers. update: My original review was for the 600ohm. I have also used the 32ohm, 250ohm, and more 600ohm versions, and I must say, they're too much alike to consider them different headphones. There may be slight differences, but unless you have them side by side, they're very much the same headphone with different amping requirements. Comparisons of the 32 vs 250 (Premium and Pro) vs 600 ohm: The 32ohm is a lot easier to drive in terms of volume, though they scale quite a bit with amping, to the point that I thought they were just shy of the 600ohm. The 32ohm I feel is recommended for those who just want an amazing headphone to pair up with something like the Mixamp and possibly a portable amp. As for differences between the higher ohm DT990, the 32ohm is slightly less refined, and the soundstage is slightly smaller in stereo mode. It also has a dryness to the sound compared to the 250 ohm Premium. One that wouldn't change my thoughts on it. The 600ohm is slightly better overall to the 32ohm, but to make it better than the 32ohm, you need a pretty good amp to bring out that potential. For most of us, the differences don't justify the hassle. Don't overlook the 32ohm, especially if you're not getting an ideal amp for 600ohm headphones. The 32ohm gets you 95% of the way there, with the benefit of being able to sound very good unamped, and better driven than the 600ohm on all but really good gear. You will still want an amp to bring out their sound quality, like the other Beyers on this guide. The 250ohm Premium is also just like the 320hm and 600ohm, but it has a darker tone, fuller bass, and less mids than the 32ohm and 600ohm. The differences again, are very negligible, especially if you don't have all 3 to compare. The 250ohm is also more refined than the 32ohm, with a bigger soundstage, and the sound as a whole has more body/weight, but again, the mids aren't as forward as the 32ohm or 600ohm. The difference yet again, are slight. The 250ohm is harder to drive than the 32ohm in terms of VOLUME, and only on certain sources will a portable amp be enough. To be safe, you'll want a desktop amp for the 250ohm. The Pro 250ohm model sounds just like the Premium 250ohm model, but it has a bit more clamp so the bass is raised slightly, and soundstage is slightly lessened, (though still very similar to the Premium 250ohm, and still bigger than the 32ohm DT990). Because the Pro model is the cheapest, if you're looking to save some money and don't mind the retro look and stronger clamp, the DT990 Pro 250ohm gets you 99.9% the same sound as the Premium 250ohm. The 600ohm is the most refined, and shares more in common with the 32ohm than the 250ohm, but just barely. The bass is tighter with very slightly less impact than the 250ohm. Like the 32ohm, the mids are ever so slightly more forward than the 250ohm. The soundstage is like the 250ohm, which is to say, slightly larger than the 32ohm. The 600ohm deserves some real good amping to make it worthwhile over the 32/250ohm variants. If you don't plan on getting something in the realm of $250+ for a bonafied desktop amp, get the 250ohm instead, though recent comparisons using the E09K have shown me that the 600ohm is still the better can (literally by a micro hair). Now, when using a Dolby Headphone device (also using an amp to help drive the Beyers), I found them all to sound almost too similar. virtual surround positioning, soundstage, and tone were all incredibly similar. Made the differences even harder to discern than when listening to music, etc, without the Mixamp. Because they're all so similar, I won't be giving them different scores. They're all within a hair of each other for fun, competitive, and obviously comfort. Fun: 8.5/10 (Excellent) Competitive: 8/10 (Great) Comfort: 8.5/10 (8/10 for the 990 Pros due to stronger clamp) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3)what rate you would put the DT990 PRO for the music which i hear? trance, house, psy trance, techno, deep house, chill out,, drumerbase,, uplifting trance?.. techno trance, electro,dubstep, trap,hardstyle? what rate you would put for 0 to 10? HOW MUCH YOU WOULD RATE THE DT990 PRO FOR gaming ?_ for 0 to 10? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ also there is one another review with the dt990 pro https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/8q5bb1/beyerdynamic_dt990_edition_review/ do you agree with his review?

These can be very polarizing headphones, I've owned them for many years (250 Pro Version) and I enjoy them for heavy metal/hard rock as well as movies, I don't think they are very good as an all around pair. If you love a V-shaped (strong treble/bass) sound then these do that quite well. If you've never owned a Beyerdynamic before I suggest you try to listen to one before picking these up. The Beyer Spike (between 8 and 10kHz) bothers some people pretty severely. The treble will be a whole world of difference from the CAL! sound.

Fantastic headphone for gaming. Also for the genres you mention. You cannot go wrong at the price unless you have a sensitivity towards hot treble. 9/10 for gaming 7.5/10 for music
