Hi guys,
I've been reading up a lot the past couple of days but am still very new to audio and all the terminology being thrown around, and so far I'm fairly torn between getting a 58X and a DT 990 Pro. I hear both are fairly good for positional audio but am not sure what the other differences are. I already have a good standalone mic.
Currently when I play games (Overwatch mostly, some CSGO etc) I often have no idea where sounds or footsteps are coming from (if I even notice them at all) and find it very difficult to identify certain sounds that my friends do seem to easily hear, so I really want something that could help out in this regard. I'm not a huge music listener and it definitely isn't my main reason for getting headphones, but of course it would be a nice plus if it doesn't add too much to the total cost.
Since I live in Europe the 58X and anything else from massdrop is more expensive than it would normally be ($200-$220 after import/shipping fees). I can get a DT 990 Pro for about 120 euros ($140) which seems like a good deal to me.
I don't mind buying a DAC/AMP if I can get something for not much more than 100-120. Currently I'm looking at the Sound Blaster X3 since I can get it for about 100 and it lets you split games/voice chat into separate channels and control them individually which is a big plus for me.
I'd love to hear some of your opinions on this! If you have other suggestions of course I'd love to hear them, but I would prefer not to go beyond the $200-$400 range for my total budget unless you feel the extra cost brings a lot more value.
Thanks!
