Yes it is a considerable blacklight bleeding, I'd return it because LG has a decent enough warranty and should replace it for you.

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 would say anything over USD300 is approaching that territory where you spend $$$ for marginal gain in quality / feature.
 
That said, I love my DT 1990 Pro. Its probably my new favourite pair of headphones.

Watching YT, playing games, eating while watching things. Things that are not jamming out. If you have ever had your ears plugged and were annoyed with yourself eating or talking you may go with semi-sealed headphones like the DT880/DT990's. I am sensitive to noises like that so that is why I bring that point up.

Should be good from what I read it can handle up to 300 ohm headphones

Have you done any research on the DT990? I have the Premium version (I think the Premium version comes in 600 Ohm only) which sounds about the same as the other version. It sparkles, my goodness it sparkles. Immediately after listening to it, I put on my HD800 and it sounds kinda dark.
 
I sure as heck hope you appreciate sparkly cans, the DT990 sparkles in spades. But I like it, guess I'm something of a closet treblehead.
 
I can't comment about the comparison between the Solo 2 and the DT990, since I've never owned a Beats before. Suffice to say the DT990 would have a wider soundstage, great clarity and detail, it has pretty good bass that isn't at all boomy. I just hope you like sparkly cans....

What's the use case? Mobile on the go or sitting at computer like a tater tot?

It depends on if you want more awareness (DT990) or more immersion (Fidelio). Both have sturdy builds and they are the most comfortable headphones I've used. Fidelio is good for hip-hop and rap. I haven't used HD650. Spend the extra $200 or so on a DAC and an amp, perhaps. Or get both headphones.

It's impossible to compare the bass on closed backs and open backs fairly. The Solo 2's are going to have more bass, but it's not going to be as clean. Try the DT990's for a while, switch back to the Beats, see which you like more. The Solo 2's aren't bad, and it's up to you which you prefer.
 
Again, it's pretty impossible to express in words the transition from closed to open headphones.

Just a quick postfrom my phone to reaffirm what some had said, if you wanna get the DT990, do audition at length (if possible) to ensure that you like the sound. I have the DT990 Premium 600 Ohm model and my word, the sparkle! I enjoy the sparkle so it suits me to a tee, but a majority may not be able to put up with the sparkle, let alone like it.
 
Btw, I would like to wish my American brethens a Happy 4th of July! Independence Day! 

It's tough because none of them are bad choices. If it's an option, I'd say get a good demo of the DT990 and buy one if you're one of those people it works well for. Failing that, if you're fine buying used stuff and you're in an area with an active used market, you can potentially just buy them all used when a good deal comes up and sell the ones you don't like. DT990's you can get fairly cheap used ($100 or less) since so many people try them once and dislike them. Used HD650's retain resale value well and are a safe option to hold on to even if you don't listen to them very often (or if you like them, also consider selling them anyways and buying the much cheaper used HD580's since they're very similar - especially if you're open to modding). X2 prices go all over the place depending on how strong the hype train around them is going. There are opportunities to make money buying and selling any of them on various used sites (avexchange, ebay, goodwill, craigslist); you can potentially try out lots of gear and make a profit doing it.
 
Then again, I'm super cheap. I guess my overall advice would be to try things out before buying, or to commit in such a way that you can get out if you're unsatisfied. Try the DT990's first since I think they're potentially your best fit, but don't be afraid to back out if you're one of many people who don't like them. There's no doubt the other two are better overall (or that the HD650 is exceptional), but if your main purpose is gaming, the price difference may not be worth it.

Welp, that's two SBAF'ers throwing in behind the HD650 and two randos recommending the others.
 
As much as I love my HD650's, I wouldn't recommend them unconditionally.
 
For gaming, they all have their strengths and weaknesses.
 
The DT990's are probably the best for pure gaming; they're cheaper, have a V-shaped response which makes explosions more satisfying and slightly accentuates your most important spatial cue (bullets whizzing), and a nice large soundstage. They have an all-metal construction, which can be seen as a pro or a con depending on if you'd rather have your headphones or monitor break when you tear them off and throw them in a fit of rage, and they cosmetically pair well with an ushanka, which is always a solid choice for anyone wanting to channel their inner Häyhä.
 
That's not to say either of the others are bad for gaming. The X2 has a good soundstage as well, and the HD650's more focused stage makes imaging (especially picking out stuff within a narrow field in front of you) better as you can pretty easily triangulate the exact positioning of things with a few scans back and forth. Both have respectable low-end for open-backed headphones as well. I'd like to say the HD650 has the worst build quality since it's mostly plastic, but this also allows you to disassemble, repair, and mod them like virtually nothing else, with actually decent prices for replacement and upgrade parts.
 
Comfort always depends on the specific person. The HD650's are the least comfortable straight out of the box because of the tight clamp. With proper adjustment of the headband and some time for the pads to conform to your head, most people will find these the most comfortable over time. The DT990's are typical Beyer comfort, which means excellent. No special considerations here; these will be comfortable for virtually anyone. Beyer stock pads are close to perfection comfort-wise. Sure, they'll get dirty over time, but washing pads is effective. The X2's have that suspension headband that you'll either love or almost love; they're perfect for some heads but apply more pressure in different areas for heads that aren't quite normally proportioned. It works for everyone, but I'd call it extremely comfortable for some people, comfortable for most people, and almost comfortable for a minority. I'm unfortunately usually in the "almost comfortable" camp; I love the ability to finely adjust things, and leaving that up to an elastic strap doesn't always produce results quite as good.
 
For sound quality, HD650's easily. Especially if you get a good amp (get a good amp). As far as I'm aware, nothing quite matches the timbre of their mids even at much higher price points (if anything does, please let me know). X2's may be more satisfying right off the bat thanks to better bass extension and sharper treble, but like most headphones tuned that way you can get tired of that. The HD650's are a wonderful break for me from a market that keeps trying to push out more exciting-sounding headphones that are great on first listen but become wearing over time (I hate it when treble is bumped up to create an illusion of added detail); I fatigue quickly when listening to things that don't sound quite right, and the HD650's do nothing glaringly wrong. The DT990's have bass and treble and that's it; if you don't mind everything sounding thin and like bass but want open-backs they're one of your few options. Some people love them, some people can tolerate their flaws for what they excel at, and many people can't stand them.
 
For me, HD650's. For you, see if you can demo things before buying. If you plan on upgrading in the future or love dark, rich mids, HD650's. If you plan to never buy audio equipment again, consider X2's. If you're on a tighter budget, want both bass and positional audio, and feel that treble that bites like the winter of '39 will only make you stronger, try the DT990's. They're great for pure gaming but may or may not be the right fit for you musically.
 
They all have velour pads; if anything the X2's are the most fabric-like. Most people find velour more comfortable than leather anyhow, and velour is better for the majority of open backs sonically.

They're fabric. I hate fabric ear cups.

I'd get the Philips but that's because I absolutely hate the ear cup fabric of the other two choices.

Settle settle it's going to be alright

how are the dt990 too good and not the hd650?

One thing to note is that you will basically need an amp to drive the HD650s so factor that into your budget. 
 
The HD650 are also far more expensive on their own. 
 
They will work fine for gaming, although if that's all you're really going to be doing with them you might want to look into closed back headphones instead since hearing pretty much everything around you can be a little distracting. 
 
I do not have direct experience with them, however looking at reviews, the HD650 are a lot more prevalent in the mids and lows. Both should be close in quality with probably some preference towards the HD650s. I can't comment on comfort, on this one you might want to look around and see if there are any music shops that have both so you can try them on. 
 
As to fun to use, That's very much up to you. 

oh yeah that was a brain fart  

Come on now, recommending DT990 when $500 is the budget???
 
I recommend going with HE-400i and schiit $200 stack

sound blaster cards suck and that full potential is just bs. Most onboard on decent motherboards will have no problem delivering the power a pair of 250ohm DT770's would need. Also you can always improve upon your DAC and amp which will make the sound better in some way, there really isn't such a thing as full potential.

The 990dts is exteemely comfy to most People and Got decent soundstage. Have not tried the others so I can't give you an answer. Pretty sure @Dackzy has tried both the 598 and 990s

Didn't mean to double post oops.. 
 
Open back basically has a speaker on the outside... anything you hear, others will hear. fyi.

That's audiophile price lol.

Beyerdynamic is probably the way to go if you want bass. Open-backed is the way to go if you're looking for positional audio. DT990's are most likely your best bet; just be careful if you're sensitive to harsh treble.
 
If you've got the money and are willing to get an amp some planars might be a good option too. Not too familiar with that lineup, but I'm guessing you'd be looking at something like HE400's or MP1060's and a Magni. Much better performing but worse QC/comfort, and may need some modding.
