Hi!
I would consider myself an average consumer (***I AM NOT AN AUDIOPHILE***), but I am hoping you can relate to my review, because it can be difficult to find if a product fits your needs based on reviews.
For starters, I bought these for gaming, as they were recommended one of my favorite streamers on Twitch, Repullze. I was skeptical, because I grew up hearing the headphones were the only things good for gaming, so this was something new to me.
For reference, I play games like Modern Warfare 2/Warzone, R6 Siege, Fortnite, Apex, Destiny 2, and a few more games, but typically shooter games. With the release of WZ2, I was on the quest to find new headphones, because the audio in the game is very poor compared to WZ1.
I first, bought PC38x and didn't love them. Audiophiles seemed to think they were great gaming headphones, but I was not a fan of the sound signature.
Next, I bought the DT 990 Pro 250 ohms and I really enjoyed them! They were incredibly comfortable. Unnoticeable clamping pressure. I was able to game for hours without any pain (I wear glasses and it still did not affect me.)
I was ready to settle for the DT 990 Pro after I bought a Topping Dx3 Pro+ DAC/Headphone Amp, because I feel it boosted the sound to another level. However, as I mentioned I wanted to try Repullze's recommendation.
Pros (this is with consideration of using my Topping Dx3 Pro+ DAC/AMP on high gain) :
* Incredible sound signature
* able to hear footsteps very clearly
* very good imaging (imagine the one scene in Batman: The Dark Knight where Morgan Freeman is telling Batman where the guys are at from the computer. Thats essentially a visual representation of imaging.
* very good directional cues (whether the footsteps are above me, below me, behind me, etc.
* great for music on all genres (again with consideration of using a dac/amp
* great for asmr (I tend to watch asmr videos to fall asleep and these allow the triggers to *tingle*
Cons -
* NOT the comfiest out of the box. The ear tips that come with the package are uncomfortable for me. I would say I have smaller ear ?holes?. I was recommended to pair these IEMS with "SpinFit CP155 for Wide and Long IEM Nozzle" on amazon for $11.49 (as of12/20/22) and they are amazing. You want to find the perfect size for your ears, because too big will obviously cause ear fatigue if you are an avid gamer and too small will change the sound of the IEMs making it seem muddy. I found that the SpinFit was able to fit perfectly in my ear and I have not yet experienced ear fatigue.
Thank you for reading my review!
