Best praise vs top criticism for Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro
“For 200. I would get the beyerdynamic dt 770 closed back or dt990. Dt880 is also good. And a cheap separate mic. If you want a cheap alternative. Cooler master mh751 for closed back or shp 9500 + vmoda boom pro. That's all you'll ever need.”
“I wish Razer would come out with an audiophile line. I am a bit OCD and I hate having all razer stuff, but then a different brand of something else on my desk. Something comparable to my DT990's. Not asking for much”
