    I've had a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pros for about 5 years, use them for gaming and music listening, and they've never disappointed me, love them to death. Last year, I bought my first set of IEM's, the Linsoul Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lites, and boy, do they sound really good. I now use the 1990s for more single-player games to get that wide soundstage/immersive feeling and use the orchestra lites for stuff like competitive shooters. I run them both through a Fiio K5 Pro dac/amp and actually use the steelseries software to route all of my audio and customize the EQ. If you have any other suggestions on ways to improve my sound setup, fire away!

    Last year after about a decade that I had stopped gaming, I bought the razer barracudas v2 and man was I disappointed, but after going through 4 diff headsets I gave up and kept those. I was using them with a ps5 so I couldn’t adjust eq, I’ve since built my gaming pc and gave those barracudas to my 8yr old and started using my kz zs10 pro that I use when I play bass guitar and then using your audio eq has been a crazy change that I can’t see myself playing with big “gaming” headsets ever again

  • @pretend8r
    @pretend8r Před měsícem +4

    After using DT 900 pro x and kiwi orchestra lite, I kept the OL. OL may sound flat and low bass, the clarity, sound stage and imaging in COD is next level. I can pin point where people are in Rebirth Island etc. because its low bass the footsteps are not as loud. Where as Dt900 pro x has more bass so foot steps much louder but to me it also sound crowded and more difficult to pinpoint enemies, however sound immersion is awesome. Thanks Art for the IEM recommendation.

  • @KorruptorGaming
    @KorruptorGaming Před 26 dny +1

    Just to note on headphone resistance numbers: higher impedance allows the driver to have a tighter response so its good to try to strike a balance between needing low enough power to run and having the sound you want. I use a set of Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250ohm for PC gaming that sound absolutely amazing, but of course need an amp to really get the most out of them. For console I have a set of Sennheiser Game One's that are the predecessor to the Pc38x and have the same awesome mic, but they only cost $100 on Amazon.

    I’m an old gamer, I was gaming on a 386 and before that amstrad and Sinclair and I’ve had all the earphones, all of them, I’ve probably got 10 headsets hanging around the house, most of them go to my children, Astro is the only one that has everything I need. The A40 cannot be beaten in the price range. Your mileage may vary but for me that is it. Whatever you are plugging into adds more price on to the purchase anyway. The need to make content has sent you down a path that doesn’t serve most people. Choosing headsets that have no microphone just makes zero sense and half the things you talk about being bad on the astros seem to not be other people’s experience.

    Of course IEMs are gonna be better sound. They are made for musicians. Problem with IEM headsets like these for console players is there isn’t a mic attached. So as good as an effort of a video this was… u just created another problem. And cheap stand up mic is gonna pick up too much background noise. So when you talk about better options… make sure you are inclusive of the whole gamer community and fully think thru ur advice
