By the way it’s about 40% better than it looks. It’s worse in the picture.

Should I return it anyways and get a new one? Do you know how long the warranty for these are?

Ok thanks! This is what I'll do: Headphones AT2020 xlr 2i2/solo Amp if needed If the mic picks up the sound from the open back headphones I'll return the AT2020 and get the AT2005.

I have two choices and btw I'll be doing gaming videos so I don't want a shotgun mic. Also I won't only get one pair of headphones I'll get multiple for different things like for music, competitive gaming, immersive gaming, etc. That also means some will be harder to drive and need a normal amp. 1. -Headphones -AT2020 xlr -Focusrite 2i2 or solo -Headphone amp 2. -Headphones -AT2020 USB/USB+ -Headphone amp So if I get a headphone amp I can't plug the headphones into the audio interface right? Is there a downside to that? Also I have a mostly white setup so is it a good idea to paint the audio interface since it's red?

The only thing that's loud for me is the train that goes by on occasion. I will eventually get a higher quality microphone and headphones when I need to. So should I get something else? Also if I get the dt990s they will be harder to drive than the x2s. Gen 2 (I'm 99% sure) is just aesthetic updates. What would you do if you were me?

(In advance I'm sorry if these are stupid questions I'm new to this stuff) I am planning on buying DT 990s or Fidelio x2s with an AT2020 xlr microphone. Since I'm buying the AT2020 I will need an audio interface or mixer. I was looking at the focusrite solo gen 2. Should I get that or a mixer? I will be using the mic for gaming and making YouTube videos. Should I plug my 990s/x2s into the interface or use my onboard sound? (I have good onboard sound) Some people say that headphones distort when you turn up the volume to a certain point on the interface with headphones plugged in. So if I don't plug my headphones into the interface I won't hear myself and know if I'm too loud? Also since I'll be using open back headphones will the microphone pick up the sound leakage? Thanks for replying in advance!

Doesn't the non USB version have better sound quality anyways? What about my other questions?

Anyone?

Should I get the AT2020 USB, USB+ or XLR? Which is better and why? If I was to get the xlr version what audio interface should I get? I will be using the mic for gaming and making YouTube videos. Also if I get the dt990s or fidelio x2s will the mic pick up the sound since there open back headphones?

I know that...

Ok I will I was just asking for some opinions. I know I might not like the same thing as everyone else but I wanted to know what you like.

I could also get dt990s or x2s for gaming and v moda m-100s for music since I listen to hip hop and rap. Should I do that or get different headphones?

Ok because I saw other people say before that it's a bad headphone for hip hop and rap. Also what about gaming out of the two headphones? Or even the 650 if it's good for gaming. Which is more "fun" to play games with?

Also is the Hd650 good for hip hop and rap music? If not what headphone is?

Can anyone else give me their opinion?

Ok thanks for replying. I will either do that or go somewhere to try them.

So how's the dt990s vs x2s for gaming specifically then? And is the 650 good for the music I listen to? I have not auditioned them

I could. What would you recommend out of the three then?

I have been making a lot of threads lately and I've finally narrowed it down to these three headphones. First I would like to thank everyone that helped me. First we'll start with the dt 990s vs the x2s. So I'm planning on using these for 90% gaming and 10% other. I will be using them to play competitive games and single player games. As I always say I want a mix of immersion and a little bit of a tactical advantage. Which is best? I will also consider any recommendations. Keep in mind I don't really have any experience with other headphones besides beats (specifically solo 2s). Now let's get into the Hd 650s. The kind of music I like is hip-hop/rap and some pop. How do the 650s do with this kind of music? How would you describe the lows, mids, and highs? Should I get different headphones or these for the music I listen to?

Ok thanks!

If I can't get these then what should I get? Including all the things I said before. Dt990s or something else?

I definitely won't spend 1k on headphones yet as these will only be my first "good" headphones. I have only had and still have beats solo 2. I just don't think it's reasonable to spend over $300 right now I don't know what sound signature I like. What headphones should I get if gaming is number one priority? And like I said I want an immersive experience but also a little bit of a tactical advantage.

What would you recommend?

I think I will get different headphones for music than the ones I'll get for gaming (I might get the dt 770s for music). The kind of games I like are competitive and open world games (some single player games). I want an immersive experience but also a little bit of a tactical advantage as I say a lot. Some people think that means I don't care about losing games but that's not what I'm saying. I still want to win games I just want to have a fun time doing it.
