New headphones

[SmilesRising]

Hello! im thinking about getting new headphones and what i could gather from friends and different people on the internet is that the beyerdynamic DT990 pro is a pretty good choice? are they worth getting and would they work well with a FiiO E10K?

DT 990 is a V shaped headphone, they have a good low end (bass) for an open back, and they also have a lot of energetic treble that some people find too bright. If you listen to a lot of vocals I would stay away from the DT 990, because it has recessed mids. Soundstage is also wide and positional audio is decent.

 

They come in 3 different versions. 32, 250 and 600 ohm. The higher the ohm, the more difficult to drive. (600 ohm and an iPod wouldn't mix)

With the higher ohm versions, I believe the bass transitions to a more tighter and deeper impact, whilst the treble gets smoother and less emphasised. I've never owned a DT pair, but I've been told that they are pretty comfortable to wear.

 

It all comes down to amps with this one. I think on high gain, the e10k should be able to drive the 250 ohm version. Fulla 2 is also another option.
