Need help for final headphone decision

[GenialGiraffe]

I'm debating between the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 (or 200, I don't know what I can support) or the Sennheiser HD 579. 

 

For some background I'm a college student that would use them to listen to music and play Overwatch so having a closed back will be useful, especially in a dorm, but the Sennheiser is what my cousin is recommending and from what I can tell he has good reason to. I have a Steinberg UR12 but I'm not certain if that can support the 200 ohms DT 770, I just have no idea. As for pricing I can get the DT 770 here and the Sennheiser here. They're basically the same cost if I opt for the 200 ohm model if that helps.

I own a variation of the Sennheiser, and i tell you what - i am NEVER switching out.

Do you need external power to get them to sound as good as they could be?

Meh,  my brother had told me to get an sound amp for them,  I did -- but I think they sound great without it ( I srsly only turn the amp to about 25-50%).  I can't stress how happy I am with the Senns.  Even their cheap models are great!  The opened ear is extremely comfortable ( big guy, im 6')

Is there a reason? And if so could I power the 200 ohm one?

I just cant see any1 wearing 579s, also the dt770s have wide soundstage and good bass/sub.

 

First try it out with the interface, and if u cant power it get a cheap amp (but if ur budget allows if get a fulla 2)
