Rig: Laptop (Lenovo Y580), Galaxy S2
Usage: Gaming (RTS mostly), Music, Watching YouTube videos, dramas, variety shows, Skype
File Format: FLAC
Genre: Pop, Ballad
Budget: RM300-400+? Budget can increase if it has performance much more worth its price, aiming for best bang for bucks
Headphone/earphone type: Still thinking which one would be more suitable and comfortable for long hours usage, staying in a hostel, need to keep the volume low
Other requirements: Will be pairing up with an external DAC which will be suitable for Aktimate Mini as well, suggestion will be appreciated

QUOTE(noobandroid @ Oct 20 2012, 04:08 PM) some may fatigue some may not, YMMV What type of headphone is the most comfortable for long hours usage? Is there any headphone that provide comfort up to the level that you can't really feel its presence? |

QUOTE(noobandroid @ Oct 22 2012, 03:15 AM) laptop as source, but need to get an external dac and a powerful amp, then you can think of some headphones to start, if directly take a headphone and into the laptop audio jack, you are going to have a bad time Hmm okay, is external DAC enough or do I need an amp as well? |

Hey, HD558 vs HD598 vs DT990, which of these will be more suitable for me if I'm using mostly for RTS gaming, pop and ballad songs?

Added on November 4, 2012, 1:20 amAKG K550  Hmm, AKG K550 is closed headphone right? I prefer open headphone since I need comfort for long term usage. QUOTE(SpringBiscuit @ Nov 4 2012, 07:36 AM) in the range of these 3 products you comparing, DT990 should be level against HD650 from Sennheiser, so we are comparing against brand mostly. If Sennheiser VS Beyerdynamic for music and game, Sennheiser headphone mostly caters toward on jazzy and vocal due to its laid back and dark signature such as HD650 and HD598, in term of staging accuracy, both Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic performed almost the same. Beyerdynamic presented more brighter and thinner sound, with a direction of all-rounder presentation with the usage. However, do expect Sennheiser requires good amp to maximize the performance, while Beyerdynamic is more on easy going depend on which model.

Added on November 4, 2012, 3:38 pmGo for Phonak PFE012, my top recommendation!! Ah, I forgot to mention I'm actually comparing the cheaper version of DT990 which is DT990 Pro 250 Ohm version. |

QUOTE(SpringBiscuit @ Nov 4 2012, 01:20 PM) Not really, actually pro and non pro is the same in sound, just pro has slight different design, headband and cable. Pricing wise depend on region. As pointed out, the compare rank for 990 actually will be hd600 and hd650
Added on November 4, 2012, 9:22 pmNope, it still wont come close to ur m50 in term of sound quality. Prof gaming headphone usually will sound bad in music, as they must be flat on bass and treble, thinner sound to get the best detail and least distraction from bass or trble during game play. Oh ok, will DT990 Pro be selective when pairing with DAC/Amp? Cause I'm planning to use the DAC with both my speaker and headphone. |
