Hi, the benefit of open back headphones is that their “soundstage” seems larger and they have less resonant frequencies. So the sound feels more open, large, and dispersed (imagine a speaker in a room). Due to less resonant frequencies the sound is also cleaner. You can also try X2HR by Philips as they are easy to drive, get fairly loud, and have a smooth bassy sound signature, if you want more neutral sound that’s accurate without any frequency emphasis then try the HD headphones. 

In my country the X2HR are actually more expensive. The HD 560 are 200$ (150$ on sale atm) and the X2HR are 300$

If you don't have any kind of existing source gear like an dac or amp aside from your motherboard I highly suggest you stay away from the 600 ohm models if you wanna keep within budget. There are a good amount of variety to choose from all dependent on your needs and wants.there are many good reasons as to why people would choose a higher impedance headphone up to 600 ohms but those reasons tend to be very enthusiast level reasons like for example with beyerdynamic the 600 ohms just flat out sound better than the lower impedance models.  Another reason is they have gear that can support the headphones. Higher impedance also means it has a higher versatility with amps as they tend to be less sensitive.  First of all what is your use case if  for music what type of music do you listen to?
 

Ohms is a measure of resistance. Essentially higher ohms means that you need more power for your headphones to produce sound. I would stick with HD 560S or HD 58x due to lower resistance compared to other headphones you listed. Higher ohms doesn't necessarily mean better sound but it does mean more power to drive the headphones. But another thing you should look at is sensitivity which dictates how loud your headphones will be at certain power level given by decibels per volts. The higher the sensitivity the louder your headphones will be. I would say that you should stick with the HD 560 / 58x for now as those headphones have a pleasing sound compared to DT 770/880/990 as DT  headphones can sound very thin with no bass if they are underpowered. I own more than 100 headphones including the ones you mentioned here (I am buying and selling headphones all the time), funnily my first “real” headphones were DT 990 Pro followed by sennheiser HD 600, and then HD 650 and then the list kept on growing. 
 
also wanted to ask you the following 
1. are you looking for only open back headphones ? Open back headphones sound great for music and games but all of your noise will be head by others around you, and they let sound in if you are in a noisy environment 
2. are you willing to buy used headphones? You can get awesome deals on used headphones if you are willing to spend sometime on hifishark and headfi 

Summary
Mining Youtuber Brandon Coin found a way to bypass the Dagger-Hashimoto mining algorithm performance lock on the RTX 3060. He achieved this by using Nvidia's very own developer drivers (version 470.05). The card hits around 50MH/s with the perf unlocked.
Edit: The card's memory is overclocked but this is still a huge leap from the 20-25MH/s limit.

 
My thoughts
It was only a matter of time before the lock was broken, but for Nvidia themselves to slip up like this is hilarious.
The driver does require a developer account to download but as of now, verification is instant. Perhaps this driver can be reverse engineered to break the rumoured mining lock on the unreleased RTX 3080 Ti.

Try hovering your mouse over all of the options. I think the app explains it pretty well, but if you don't understand again try searching in YouTube - "MSI Afterburner tutorial/guide". I think you will get it, it's not hard.

Wow. Didn't even realize they made a 360hz display. Honestly, I think we're reaching the point of stupidity here. 144hz was meaningful. 240hz less so, but for competitive gaming it does help. 360hz? Nah. Besides, you need to be pushing at least as many frames to make it worth while, and aside from maybe CSGO, you're not going to get 360 FPS with any card you can get this gen or next.

The stealth hoodie is of high quality, but I think the sizing is a little off. I’m 5’9” and a thin build and tho long enough. I find it a little tight on the arms. 

Hello everyone!


So I took the plunge a couple of weeks back (30/10/19) and ordered The Swacket and LTT "Stealth" Hoodie.


The order came to a fair bit but i just done it anyway, it was despatched the same day and arrived in the UK a few days later, Like 4 I think, It was stuck in customs for like 5 days : / but thats, not LTT's fault... the customs charge wasn't actually that bad either worked out at 23.71 that was including a £12 parcel force handing charge.  The item was shipped to the highlands of Scotland and we usually get shafted for post for items in the UK already. From start to finish i got the products in around 13 days.

The stuff arrived and right away I could tell it was good quality, i'm really chuffed i bit the bullet and ordered it.
 
It cost me around around £164 all in and I'm pretty chuffed with the products.
 
Would be nice for LTT to have an EU stocker sometime in the future


I would advise anyone thinking about getting the stuff... Just go for it!
