Hi All.
I'm a complete noob when it comes to sound systems, so I'm looking for a bit of advice.
I'm currently using a wireless Corsair H2100 Gaming headset (seems fairly shocking) for sound quality and mic quality. I find them very uncomfortable to wear for extended periods and quickly cause ear fatigue. I'm not really interested in wireless headphones anymore, due to my new desk setup and getting fed up of them running out of battery mid-session. I prefer the feel of open-back headphones, as I suffer from tinnitus and closed-back headphones seem to make this feel worse.
So far I've come across these 2 headphones which I like AKG K712 PRO and Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO. The DT 990's seem to have a much higher resistance than the AKG's so it looks like I would definitely need an amp to take full advantage. The AKG look like they could get away without an amp?
If I got an amp, I've been looking at the Fiio K3. Would this be suitable for the DT 990 Pro's?
I'm completely new to this so any advice would be great. Here are a few more details.
I plan on eventually getting a stand-alone microphone in the future, something like a Yeti. So would I benefit from getting an amp that could also take a mic input?
My budget is around £200
I mainly listen to liquid drum and bass, house music, and tech house. I occasionally play FPS games like battlefield and CS.
Thanks in advance.
