I know I know, I have the micca origin+ in my pinned post where I use the german and UK amazon to find EU prices and one of my mates bought it a month ago from the UK amazon, very weird.

Also Schiit also has this EU shop https://schiit.eu.com/

60€ difference :P

80ohm is OK for my motherboard? 

When people say it's too low, is it like too low I can't hear it or is it for the picky people?

What should I say else than fine? It doesn't really matter...

yes they are better than a gaming headset.

DAC/amp cambo*, nah they are fine with onboard as I said before a cheap MSI laptop can power them same with a ThinkPad L460 and same with my phone.

most gaming headsets are crap, you can't find any headset that in this price range that can beat the DT 770's in audio quality.

do you know if the dt770 sounds like, damp, or something, like you're underwater? Or is it a bit clearer than that?

none of that. They are detailed with a bass and treble boost, aka a V shaped signature.

They are good for gaming, since they have a decent soundstage for closed headphones with a good amount of detail. I think they will fit your taste, since you like bass music. Plus their positional audio is pretty good...

 

A big soundstage makes the audio sound, less like it is in the middle of your head, while a small soundstage makes everything sound like it is happening in the middle of you head.

Oh nice, I thought bass-nice headphones wasn't good for gaming. :D

 

Is big/low soundstage just a preference or is one better than the other one?

And THANK YOU so much for answering my questions, i've been so torn as to what I should I buy, and I can skip the dac yay :D

well bigger is always better for gaming, but you also need good positional audio to go along with the soundstage. 

And no problem ;)

I think it is free to return with amazon, but I am sure you can find them somewhat locally
