Beyerdynamic headphones

Thinking of getting a new headset, Looking at the Beyer Dynamic 990 Pro 250Ohm, Thoughts ?

For that money freaken worth it! I own a pair and use it with a Fiio E10k. The sound is balanced. Not to much bass or highs which means the mid isn't drowned out. I listen to metal music and the bass is enough for me. I never feel like it needs more. If I do add bass because I like certain parts of a song or i'm gaming and want it louder then I just turn on the bass boost from the E10k and it really hits hard. Sounds lush! Never distorts at any levels I'm willing to listen to. Just be aware they are OPEN not CLOSED so people WILL hear what you are listening too. They can get loud if you push them. If you ever plan on wearing them outside then get the 770. If you just use them when sitting down at the PC then I'd get them. That's why I choose the 990's over the 770's. If you need a mic make sure to buy one, i use a modmic for mine:)

Edit: I should mention, after a while my ears start to hurt. I don't think it's the headset because that's happened to me with every headset I have ever used. Usually start's to get real bad around 3 hours of use. Once i stop wearing them it goes away within 10 mins.

Well 990 Pro 250Ohm it is then.

For a mic I'm looking at the Blue Snowball, In gloss black -

Would there be much difference between the 250Ohm version and the 600Ohm version of the 990 Pro ?

I'm not sure. Honestly I don't think there is a difference. You can always ask them or even google it on their forums if they have one? I'm sure you would get a better answer there than you could hear for audio. Unless someone lurking knows;)

I don't think it would matter in the end. The 250ohm is more than enough for gaming and music, if you wanted more you would spending much much more:)
 
600 Ohm is worthless imo I won't go into detail right now don't even ask, maybe later
 
250 will be fine for your uses dice :)

I have 770 pro 250's and they're lush, I can only imagine the 990's are excellent at that price.

Cooleo thanks SuB, Do you know the difference between 250 and 600 apart from needing more ohms to drive them ?
 
The legend says that the 600ohm version has a "smoother" sound signature and has nearly 0% distortion what so ever, but before you get distortion on 250ohm ones you are deaf
 
I have 990 Edition 250 Ohms and my mate around the corner has 770 Pro 80 Ohms, we've used them both with my Essence STX and Maximus VII sound card. It is noticeable that the 80's are a little louder especially using onboard audio or phones and if you want to use them with a range of devices i'd definitely recommend going even lower than 250. However on my Essence they seem fine, I bet they would be even louder with an E10k and I will probably change to something external when I part with my main rig. Definitely wouldn't go to 600 either, it seems excessive and i'm sure it would demand some other ridiculous kit for no real advantage in a home environment.

The difference between Editions and Pros is purely the way they fit and feel, internally they are identical. Editions are a little softer and more comfortable, it's not much but you do notice after several hours. They are however ridiculously expensive so I guess you will almost certainly get Pros.

Snowballs look good i'm sure you will like that, I got a Samson Meteor and nobody seems to complain but they definitely know when I rage type :D I use a pad though so idrc.

All these microphones are condenser mics so people will always know when you're typing - especially on mechanical keyboards. Personally I do think the Blue microphones are a bit overhyped for what they are by the YouTube Gaming community, but hey if you're looking for a plug & play microphone you could do worse.
 
GET THOSE HEADPHONES!!! GET THEM!!! [Warning it will take 2 days for the headphones to burn in, they will sound like crap at first]
 
checked all the cables? No hardcore bends or knots in them?

Nope, all the cables hang straight, pop it on then off they go when I'm done. Its never happened before so I'm hoping they are okay tonight but I doubt they will be.

Sorry for robbing your thread Dice. :(
