Hi,
Which one is more comfortable and sound quality better than the other in games?

Both are excellent headphones for the price.  I would imagine comfort is the same on each of them.  I don't have either of them so I'll have to use logic and what I've heard to assume that the tygr is focused more for gaming and being driven from onboard audio.  It is 32ohm and designed that way from the beginning, meaning that it'll be easily driven by anything.  It was tuned for gaming as well.

 

The DT990 is more of an audiophile product which leads into more options and more critics plus the desire to go higher ohm for an amplifier, if you are going deeper into the rabbit hole a 250ohm dt990 would probably sound better.  The critics say that the DT990 can be rather bright, or that the treble is out of proportion, which some like and some can't stand.

 

It's honestly difficult to say which is better to be honest.  I have the 880-600 and 1990-250 and they're both excellent headphones but I drive them on a powerful amp.

 

My assumption would be that for gaming the tygr gets the win and for music or content the 990 gets the win, while either is probably a close second in each category.

I vote Tygr. It's an excellent headphone for gaming, movies and music. Treble is very smooth and sibilance is silky smooth too. Comfort is excellent too. The 990 is very sharp and not everyone can bear that.
