Regardless, speakers remain king for music.
Listening to beautiful, detailed music produced by proper stereo setup... Bliss! There is something a bout a room filled with music that headphones cannot replicate for me.I want to agree, I really do... but there is just something personal and "tactile" about listening to headphones. It's a different experience.

With that, I can only agree.True, and I don't disagree, I guess what I'm trying to say is that for me there isn't one is better than the other. I enjoy headphones for what they are and I enjoy speakers for what they are and I enjoy a live concert for what it is
With that, I can only agree.
I also prefer swinging live. :3Live jazz or swing is always great.
Would neva got to rap or hiphop concert tho lol. Thats for home and carb use only

Thoughts on the dt770?
Hey dude! Sorry for this thread moving at this rate. But it is the only place for us to discuss audio on the forum where a few members are actually active.
To answer your question, there is no best. The general consensus here seems to be that any half-decent open back headset would give you better gaming performance.
A few points to note though; if you mention that your g930 is lacking oomf what exactly do you mean? Loudness, clarity, bass, detail? What do you require in the oomf department?
Your onboard dac/amp should be alright. Not decent or good, but useable. If you do not plan on buying a soundcard or external dac/amp, make sure whatever you buy are easy enough to drive with your motherboard.
What do you need from your headphone? Personally I am not a fan of the mx50, but many swear by its performance. It is just way to bassy for my palette and there is no soundstage to be found.
Mic- vmoda boompro works for meI was actually looking at Arctis Pro + DAC. Seeing that it is a very nice looking pair. But then this thread started and got me digging. Now I am not sure.
What I meant by oomf is actually very vague and broad. So let me try to explain. In some cases I feel that the sound is not loud enough. In other cases other sounds are too loud. To give an example, when I play Escape from tarkov, then I sometimes feel that the softer sounds are not loud enough. Then When I play Overwatch or APEX then certain sharper sounds are too loud. And I just can't stand the stereo sound on those headsets. It has to have 7.1 enabled. I am not sure what is classified as good sound but when I listen to music, it sounds better for me with 7.1 on. It might be that I am just too used to 7.1 but the sound stage sounds different/better than without 7.1 enabled.
What I want in a headset is to have the low rustle of a bush to be clearly audible/louder and to be able to have good directional sound. If the Arctis Pro + DAC can deliver on that then that is all I want. But then the constant thing nags at the back of my mind... is there something better?
I like wireless, but due to the quality I will be open to have a proper headset. The DT-770 looks like a very good pair based on what you all talk about. Then I need to buy a proper DAC and of course a Mic. So is the inconvenience worth the quality and price of just having an all in one gaming headset?
Hey gays, i have an AKGs 270 mkii now, and want to upgrade them but i dont know if i should save up for the HD600 or get a beyerdynamic DT990, i like my AKGs they sound really good, the mids and highs are really nice, the bass is dont know if im using the word correctly but its tight maybe punch, even with heavy bassy songs, i listen to mostly 80s music cause of the beats and sounds, also like listening to orchestra music. so which should i go for?
From my super limited knowledge that should be a fantastic step up.I’ve been looking into the Massdrop 6xx and an amp + DAC to pair with it. Would that be a worthwhile step up? Or what other options are there worth looking in to?
What you are looking for does not exist... All those games have wildly different audio implementations. You will have to adjust your volume accordingly, no matter which headset you are going to end up using. Open back headphones would naturally give you a better a sound stage and imaging, but some prefer closed back still.I was actually looking at Arctis Pro + DAC.

Hey dude! You are in luck, I've had everything you mention.Hey gays, i have an AKGs 270 mkii now, and want to upgrade them but i dont know if i should save up for the HD600 or get a beyerdynamic DT990, i like my AKGs they sound really good, the mids and highs are really nice, the bass is dont know if im using the word correctly but its tight maybe punch, even with heavy bassy songs, i listen to mostly 80s music cause of the beats and sounds, also like listening to orchestra music. so which should i go for?
Hi there,
Having followed the thread and been overwhelmed by the info. What would a decent upgrade be from my current headphones the Sennheiser HD 518 + on board audio? Mainly used for gaming and music (All over the place).
I’ve been looking into the Massdrop 6xx and an amp + DAC to pair with it. Would that be a worthwhile step up? Or what other options are there worth looking in to?
Thanks
Wrong pandela, but YES.
What does your budget look like? Nuprime uDSD + HD6XX is an amazing setup. And the nuprime will leave a lot of headroom for future headphones and amps.
No I haven't demo'd one. I have very limited experience with headphones having only used the HD 518, HD 201 and Plantronics Backbeat for reference.Have you demo'd a 6XX before? Coming from a HD518, most phones mentioned here is a big stepup...
You can always try something more V-shaped, or with heavier lower end if gaming is your primary use. I personally game with HD58X at the moment, there are a lot of scenes where I wish I was wearing something more fun though.
