Im looking to get a fun sounding pair of headphones for music and some gaming i.e. counterstrike global offensive with friends. I had clouds II which got damaged by my friend's kid who threw them into the swimming pool (I took them apart dried etc. but they do distort now...). My relaxing/gaming room is in the attic so noise won't be an issue. To drive any headphones I can use my Pc onboard or Yamaha S501 headphone output.
The only comparison I have is the clouds as headphones. They sounded little lacking in midbass department to my liking, however, after a slight tweak in the lower frequencies of +3 db made them sound highly enjoyable. I can buy another pair but Im really looking for an upgrade so my budget is not high 120 pounds at most.
I was thinking about DT990's 250-ohm version (which I can get for 70 pounds used like new)
Or
Philips Fidelio X2 for 100 in very good condition yet not sure which version it is as I believe they changed a manufacturing company.
Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks
