Everyone's ears pick up on frequencies differently. What you hear from 1 headset does not mean the other person hears the same thing. With that said, your video is very detailed and informative for the way they compare to your ears. I would always recommend customers try all the headsets before settling on one.
I have both right now and I feel like the hd560s are less confortable for me with that clamping force. I have stretched them for a week on my subwoofer and still gives me headaches. Dt 990 x are smaller on the cup which is another kind of uncomfort but much more tolerable. The sound is better too, wider and clearer than the 560s. Gaming is insane on the Dt 990 x for fps.
You and this video are a blessing to me. I was torn between dt 900 pro x and epos h6 pro (both open) I mainly play rainbow six siege (r6) and I thought that epos would be useless for any other thing than gaming. This video helped me with all my uncertainties and for that, I’m truly thankful.
Considering 560s is 125usd and 900 pro 250usd on sale it’s a bit difficult to compared them. I love my hd560s on balanced on my E1DA powerdac which gives me the smoothness and warm that this needs, I like it more than the tygr300r since the tygr are so dark sounding that this makes and awful impact on the dialogues while gaming. You will feel more immersed in explosions with the Dt 900 but I don’t think it’s worth over 100usd of the hd560s
Personally I have the 560s, the Tygr and the DT 900 Pro X and I feel like the 560's are barely worth the money. Even if the 900 Pro's were twice the price l, they'd still be worth it based on comfort and build quality alone. But depends on the region I guess because in Europe the 900 Pro X's are only 60 to €70 more expensive than the 560s
@@bananawarlock3981 I enjoy more the wider sound of the hd560s, meanwhile the dt 900 is more precise on direction. In gaming and movies they trade blows, personally a bit inclined to the 560s, but in music the dt 900 hits way different
TY for the detailed comparison video. I've landed on these 2 sets of Headphones for FPS gaming. I initially went for the Sennheiser HD560s headphones and though I enjoyed their sound they were uncomfortable on my ears, so I am thinking of returning them and going with the Beyerdynamics DT 900 Pro X in hopes they are more comfortable for long gaming sessions. My goal is to find the best set of 'budget' Imaging sensitive headphones for FPS gaming, combined with long session wearing comfort.
@@District.24 They were/are also in the running with the HD560s, DT 900 Pro X so if the 900 Pro X are also uncomfortable for me I'm move onto the H6Pro's.
I got the 560s for gaming and the first day I have my personal best game. I want to try the dt's but there was one play in particular where i know in the past i wouldn't have heard that audio queue. I've previously tried the Kiwi Orchestra Lights, the Simgot super mix's, Hyper x cloud 2's, and the Arctis Nova Pro's. I pick up more audio que's and i'm better able to pinpoint them with the 560's. These are going to be hard to beat.
Im also chooses 900 pro x and return 560S. The 560 was a tad more comfortable due to its lower weight, but bending the riser slightly removed the problem. The 560s played too cleanly and were not cool in music. Only in FPS. 900 Pro X are more versatile because they are both for gaming and music.
560s have never been comfortable for my head. Just got my 900 pro x last week. So far they feel so much nicer. Audio i cant tell a difference but i never have
I like your review but the moving camera severly triggers motion sickness for me. Just putting that out there in case you weren't aware that some people can't handle that. I ended up listening and glancing at the screen once in a while. Love the content and insights though!
Tested both for 2 weeks. Definitely DT 900 is more consistent, rounded, bodyish. For me it lacks airiness in treble. No 3-blob effect. Closed sound, wonderful bass and sub-bass. Hot for ears, heavy for my bold head. On the other side, HD 560s has 3 blob effect on some music, open but limited dry sound with a little of bass. Returned both. Ordered discounted HD 660s. Hope will enjoy it more )))
That’s what I keep telling people - sound and comfort are subjective. If you like the Beyerdynamic more then that’s the one for you. I, personally, loved the 560S, but when I heard the 900 Pro X, I liked that more. That’s just my ears.
I play counter strike 2 I grind the 3200 elo on faceit and I rely a lot on the sound in my gameplay... and having tried both for me the 560S in terms of imaging is the big winner but in sound quality the dt 900 pro x is superior... but in imaging such as the 560s
Well the 990x actually rolls off a bit earlier than the 560s in terms of bass so no idea why you experienced the opposite. The mids are almost on part and the treble is aot more linear with the 560s instead of the 990x boosted highs which can create bad sibilance. In terms of imaging and sound stage they are very close. I prefer the 560s for digital piano playing. For music I prefer the 1990 or edition XS
No idea, you say. Let me share one with you. The sound signature of any headset/headphones is based upon the structrue of the device (drivers, pads...etc.) and the structure of your own ears. This is why two individual audiophiles, listening to the same song on the same equipment can critique it differently - because they hear different, albeit similar, things.
The 900 pro x have much better extension. Oratory1990 has graphs up on his subreddit. If you meant the DT990 Pro, which was not featured in this video, then you would be correct - the 560S does have better bass extension (on paper) then the 990 Pro, but NOT the 900 Pro X.
For listening to Music (90s oldschiool HipHop, pop etc), without an AMP on the Pc would you go for the DT 900 Pro X or the HD560s or even the DT 990 (80 ohm)?. Or do you have other recommendations?
@@District.24 thanks, so you enjoy Music in the H6Pro more than in the DT900pro x? I just want them to listen to music. Do you have the h6pro opdn or closed?
After watching this video i bought the 900 pro X and man they are uncomfortable. They sound really nice but I couldnt keep them on my head due to the tight headband pushing down on my head. ended up returning them and ordering 560s
I'm currently torn between both of these and I hear great things for both. My main usage would be gaming and music. My only concern regarding the PRO X is the comfort since the pads on it are round rather than oval, I'm not sure its pads would go around the whole ear like on the HD 560s. I have an AKG with round pads and it's a real deal breaker for me because the pads press the top and bottom of my ears, causing a lot of discomfort. I wouldn't want to get the PRO X and have the same issue.
@M3G4ZZ The 900 pro x goes around my ears, and I "unfortunately" have large ears. That being said, they do touch the ears. I don't have an issue with that. Some might. I also have the AKG 702s, and I find those to be very comfortable, but I find the bass to be a bit weak. The DT 900 pro x are definitely sturdier and easier to drive with better bass, but a slightly smaller soundstage. Don't put them on high gain. They don't need it and seem to get slightly distorted if you do.
Great video, and good comparison, just not a fair one. Comparing a constantly on sale at $150 HD560s with a mostly $280 DT 900 Pro X. However, DT 900 Pro X do offer better comfort, overall better sound quality, more bass extension, and greater sound stage and imaging...because it costs double. I own both. My daily driver is the DT 900 Pro X for movies and AAA gaming, but I do use HD560s for competitive shooters because of the near perfect tuning/tonality, and super clean & precise imaging with wider sound stage for greater vertical accuracy. For me, the HD650s is wall hack mode for FPS gaming, while the DT 900 Pro X do the same, plus better bass with higher immersion, just less accuracy for verticality.
Heard 560s and 900 pro x was like the best for gaming (if we disregard mic) but then you recommend tiger or H6PRO instead I'm like lost. I want a headset mainly for gaming and like listening to footsteps for games like CSGO/CS2 and was set on 900 Pro X but now I'm unsure. I still want music or looking at streamers or like anime to be nice but hearing things like footsteps is a higher priority as i have great speakers as is and the only other time i would use the headset would be with my laptop like lets say game at a friends place. I don't care that much about the a microphone so i don't sacrifice sound/position of like footsteps and stuff for a mic. That being said would you still recommend H6PRO/Tygr 300R over 900 pro X and if so which of them? Ik you have to "test" to see whats best for you but let's say I'm sensitive to sound and generally have lower volume than the avg person, which would you recommend off H6PRO/Tygr or if there's a better headset for 230€ or less? I do want to add that i have scarlet 3rd gen solo (which has headset/phones slot)and a cloudlifter with Shure sm7b and DBX286s so my mic on the pc that i am on 90% of the time is superb, hence why microphone is a bit w/e.
As you know, headphones and headsets come in all shapes and sizes and features. There is no best headset, just the most suitable for you. The 560’s and 900 PRO X are not designed for gaming or streaming; they’re designed for critical listening/professional monitoring/mixing of music. As a side effect of their purpose they have excellent imaging. So these two should be considered if you plan to engage in critical listening of music and play games. The TYGR 300 is designed for gaming, and for those audio professionals who have a history with Beyerdynamics, and who want to maintain that relationship into gaming. You may find it’s sound signature more enjoyable than the 560’s and 900 PRO X, because it wasn’t designed for a high-level of audio accuracy. The H6PRO hears footsteps the best of the four, has a removable mic, volume control from the headset, and is excellently well-rounded. Just a perfect FPS gaming headset. If I were you, I would start with the H6PRO, because it ticks more boxes. If you are not satisfied with it, return it and move to the next in your list.
@@District.24 Nvm that, apparently he says 900 pro x is better. Did some more research and came upon Fresh Reviews and basically HD560S and Tygr300 is VERY similar but would recommend TYGR300R esp for CS2. So will buy the TYGR300, but i was also thinking of buying a modmic in the future if i would need it if I'm at my laptop instead and was wondering if you had any suggestions for a modmic that is magnetic?
Nice video..How much both Beyerdynamic & Sennheiser Headphones please?Where you bought them please?What is Brand and model name of the big headphones near PC /CPU case please?How much and Where you bought the headphones near PC/CPU Case please?
Hello! I just got the H6PROs with the GSX300, so far they are okay, the build quality is awesome, but the way they sit on my ears are a bit... awkward. My ears get under the comfortable pads in the very back of the headset, but its liveable. Another thing is that, i like bass, and when i tried to fiddle around with the EQ i cant get the sound to be bassy. It just lowers every other sound, whilst gaining almost no bass. I tried using the eq and settings in the steelseries sonar software ontop of the GSX300 and the EQ i have there and it improved a bit, but this audio doesnt match alot of reviews, including yours. Do you think i was just unlucky with either the GSX300 or the H6PRO and got a bad unit, or is the GSX300 just not strong enough to get that bassy sound? What soundcard do oyu use when you listen to your H6's? is it the GSX1000 or the schiit (i cant see what schiit version you have), and is that why you descirbe the sound and bassiness to be better than i experience? Before this i had a pair of Steelseries Arctis Pro bundled with a GameDAC and they almsot sounded better; the bass felt more satisfying, and the sound felt less... forced? electronic? The sound part may just be me and that im either not used to good headphones, or dont know how good headphones should sound. Or is it because the GameDAC is simply more powerful/better than the GSX300? If so, should i try to sell the GSX300 (maybe for a profit, it was $20 extra for the bundle but the card alone is $80.) and get another external DAC, maybe a Sound BlasterX G6? Ive heard good things of the G6 and the features seems good. Btw, many DACs praised by various reviewers are simply not available, at least not at a fair price, here in Sweden, so options like the Schiit Fulla is sadly not actually an option for me. Shipping alone would be hundreds of dollars becuase of the toll taxes and everything. I hope this wasnt a way too long comment, tried to cut it short, but maybe i failed. Would love to hear your take and advice on this, and ofc people from the comments advice. I really like your content, your honest and talk about whats important in your reviews, in my opinion you deserve way more subs, your videos are so informative. Good luck with your channel!
Sorry for the late reply. I’ve been in bed with a bad back for the last two weeks. Just crawling my way back into the world now. I’m sad to read you’re having issues with your new purchases. You have some specific questions, which I can’t answer, because I’m not there. Perhaps you do have a bad DAC or headphones, or something - I don’t know. Maybe you’re no good at configuring EQ - I dont’t know. Maybe (like you said) you don’t know good sound from bad sound - I don’t know. I wish I was there, because I could tell you in 10-secs if it’s not sounding right. The truth is: sound is subjective. So perhaps the sound signature is not pleasing to you. So many people love the H6PRO, including myself, but there are some who don’t like it at all. EPOS has EQ software for its wireless gaming headsets. They don’t effect the wired headsets. Remove the gsx300 and test the sound plugging your H6PRO directly into your motherboard. No sonar. That’s what I do, and it sounds great. I also use it with the GSX1000 and the Schiit Hel 2, and it still sounds great - even though the Hel 2 makes the sound brighter, and the gsx make the sounder darker. The H6PRO is 28 ohms I believe, so it doesn’t require an amp. Here’s my advice: try different configurations and if you’re still not happy return it. The important thing is that you’re happy. Don’t waste another second on a headset that doesn’t meet your expectations. Good luck, friend.
@@District.24 No worries! I hope you feel better soon. I dont think the problem is that im bad at configuring the EQ, im not saying im very good at it, but I know the basics, and I have played around with EQ's for a long time. I tried connecting the headphones directly to the motherboard, once without using the GSX300 and sonar, and once only using sonar, and I definetly prefer the sound when im using sonar and the headphones plugged directly into the motherboard. Either I got a bad example of the DAC, or its just shit lol. Or, I just dont like the sound of it. Now the bass response and frequencies feels alot more natural and better sounding, closer to what the steelseries sounded like, even better than what they sounded like tbh. The GSX300 made almost every other frequency lower when there was any bass present, and I have no idea why. Maybe its just not a very good/powerful DAC, or, as I just said, I just dont like the way the people over at EPOS have tuned it. I think im going to return the headset + DAC and just get the headset alone to save myself $20. Without your comment I definetly wouldn't have tried the headphones directly connected to the motherboard, and I would never have noticed that the thing I dont like is the DAC, and I am really grateful that you responded! I honestly believe your dedication and hard work should be appreciated more than it is, you definetly match, and in many cases beat, larger channels in the way you describe and review head-phones/sets, and definetly in the way you help your viewers. And im talking about big channels, 100k++ subs, you should really get the attention you deserve. Btw, I also mentioned that the fit of the headset was weird, I kind of got over it, I just gotta adjust them every now and then, but its probably a good thing, more than once when I have taken my headphones off to adjust them I have realized that I should maybe take a break from playing games or watching movies ;) I really, really hope that your channel gets the attention it deserves. And again, thank you for helping me, and so many others, with their sound! I hope your back gets good soon :) Best wishes from Sweden
I forgot to write this, but I'll probably try the Sound Blaster G6 aswell. Maybe I have more luck with that than with the GSX300, if not, ill just return it :)
have you tried the GSP 600?i tried both H6PRO and GSP 600 . in my opinion GSP 600 is slightly better.Would be nice a comparison between Game Zero,GSP 600 and H6PRO.The Sennheiser/Epos chronological competitiv gaming headsets lineup 😁
I respect the fact the GSP 600 appealed to you, unfortuantely, it did not for me. Sound is subjective. I wish I liked all the headsets I purchased then I wouldn't have to keep buying headsets. LOL.
Very great video - thank you! There are 2 AMPs on your desk. Which one do you prefer for pc FPS gaming? And do you use the Sennheiser GSX with 7.1 mode?
On PC I use the GSX 1000, which is not the best amp out there. It does what it does excellently, but it’s not very loud. How dare it call itself an amp. LOL. I plan to upgrade it anyway, as I’ve had it a long time. I’m interested in a Schiit stack or something similar. I have used the 7.1 surround sound, and it’s excellent. My only issue with the GSX is how loud it doesn’t get.
@@District.24 Thank you! I will watch out for a new AMP/DAC in your next video/s I am interested in the Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus even though it is pretty old. The Topping DX3 Pro+ also seem fine. Unfortunately i can't find any better 7.1 AMP/DAC
@@azizi__ they are both great which ever way you go. 560s is more chill. The 900 pro x is more fun. 560s. Has a bigger sound stage more note separation better for music editing. Or be like me and buy them both lol.
@@crate718 My final mix is 560S, 900 Pro X, PC38X, 58X.... 50% competitive gaming/voice calls and 50% music & media consumption. No music making or "critical listening" unless you are talking about thumping my ear drums out with hip hop. What ya think?
@@drewmorg. I would say just get to the point and get the holy grail the beyer dt 1990 pro. You will never find a better gaming headphone for gaming and for music it is orgasmic
Well, sound is subjective, but in my experience, I would have to go with the H6PRO. You're experience may be different, so try a few headsets and pick the one you like the most.
This is probably a dumb question, but ill ask it anyway. I've been someone whos always used consumer grade gaming headsets like the hyperx cloud flights or the logitec g430. How much better is the sound on the DT900 pro x? Is it worth the upgrade?
Yes and no. Yes, because Beyerdynamic and EPOS, are companies with decades of experience in audio. Leaders in the audio industry. They make better quality and better sounding headsets. But none of that means anything if you don’t like the sound. There are some people who can’t tell the difference between a $2000 bottle of wine and a $20 bottle. If that’s you then stick with the $20 bottle. Understand?
Hi Wanted ask which better for overal use gaming, movies and music, Can say i am casual user(using hedphones like 2-5h per day). DT TYGR 300 R or DT 900 pro x ??
You have to understand that your question is difficult to answer, because sound is subjective. If you want overall performance between the two, I would choose the 900 Pro X. That’s my choice. It doesn’t mean my choice would suit you. I own and enjoy the TYGR, however, I only use it for gaming. If I need a mic, I use the H6PRO, and if I just want to listen to music, I use my KZ ZS10 Pro IEMs. So my advice to you is to try different headphones until you find one that has a sound signature you enjoy for the purpose you require.
I don’t, usually, sit when listening to music. I move around, so the IEMs suit that scenario better for me. Additionally, I prefer the sound of my IEMs for Motown and disco songs, of which I listen too a lot. Five speakers in each ear - wow!
So, if i get it correctly, for classical digital piano practice with a Kawai sound, you'd recommend 560S over 900 Pro X or am i wrong please ? Thanks for your review !
Both these headsets are designed for critical listening. Only you can decide which sound signature suits you. I would purchase both, and return the one I enjoyed the least.
As I said, "I would purhcase both, and return the one I enjoyed the least." In other words, you have to actually buy these headsets yourself and test them to find out which one you like. I, and reviewers like me, can only give you so much information. You really have to jump in and get your hands dirty with these headsets to find out the one for you. I'm not rich. I don't have sponsers. I just buy the headsets/headphones myelf, when I can afford to, and try them out. I've spent a lot of money, but I have also learned a lot from the experience, and I found the H6PRO, which is a godsend of a headset.
Sound is subjective. The HD560S may or may not sound better to your ears. The only way to find out is for you to test it. If you don’t care for it, take it back. Generally speaking, most people would find the 560’s nicer sounding, as they’re designed to reproduce sound more accurately.
I had a comfort issue with the dt 880 (I think same pads as the tygr), my ears were touching the drivers... Will i have the same issue with these? Which of these have thicker pads?
Been looking at these to use for a mix of PC and console gaming. Leaning towards buying the DT 900 PRO X. Also Ohms don't matter for needing an amp or not. It is all about the sensitivity for how easy a headphone is to drive. The DT 900 PRO X should be easier to drive because it's sensitivity is 114 dB SPL @ 1V versus 110dB for the HD 560S. But both are very easy to drive and don't require an amp. You can run them from a controller or a phone.
Your information is incorrect. Firstly, the DT 900 PRO X is 100 dB not 114. Secondly, ohms do matter. When the resistance is high, the headphone will still work, but won’t perform at its best. You need an amp to drive it to optimal performance levels. Lastly, sensitivity below 100 dB tends to result in a lower volume level, while sensitivity above 110 dB can be very loud for some.
I’ve reviewed the information you stated, and you’re correct. The HD 560S is showing 110 db with V. The 900 PRO X is showing 100 dB with mW. The conversion to V brings it to 114 dB, as stated on the site. I appreciate the education. I stand behind my statement that ohms is important. I understand you disagree with that, so on that issue, we’ll have to agree to disagree.
@@RutgerMulder you could just Fiio k7 pro for $200 good dac or ifi air can for $100 if money is tight. A dac will open up the 900 pro x. You could also get a turtle beach controller that has a dac in it for $40
@@crate718 I am running a Topping DX3 pro+ amp on PC which will power any headphone. I also bought the DT 900 PRO X and i can say they do fine without an amp on my PS5 controller. The controller will even drive my 300 Ohm Sennheiser HD 6XX to levels that will damage your hearing. The 6xx just lack bass and ain't great for soundstage in games. The DT 900 pro x are great in games. Not really missing the amp on console vs pc.
I don’t see how anyone could ever like the 900s they’re such shit for enjoyment. They sound so hollow and sharp with zero midrange, they’re good for what they’re supposed to do and that’s for mixing and actual critical listening and finding out if a note doesn’t match, but if you want to ACTUALLY enjoy what your listening to, 560s are better by a mile. Don’t just get what the streamers have, they don’t know better either. They’re also very comfortable too, but 560s aren’t far behind
@@District.24 I compared them directly with the 560s as the main opponent, which did not impress me either in terms of material quality or in terms of sound. price 290$ Vs 245$ Task: chose specifically for listening to music. also considered 990 pro (not bad), taxstar 580 (bad) Hello from Ukraine!
I have HD560s and I pulg 3.5mm jack direcetly into my thinkpad laptop. only 20% volume is lound enough to enjoy the music. So, you do not need an amp. Maybe my laptop sound dac is good I think. If I plug it into my GL552vw laptop the sound is not that great because of poor sound dac on this laptop. I baught an apple 3.5mm to type c adapter. Using the apple dongle it sounds exactly like thinkpad laptop. So HD560s doesn't need an amp. Just buy an apple dongle and you will be fine. On my openion HD560s is the best headphoe for the price 150 EUR
You’re not getting the best sound out of your 560S. You just think you are. To get the best sound you need an amp, because that headphone is 120 ohms. Working and working at its best is not the same thing.
Properly driving a headphone isn't just about volume. I can get my hd600 more than loud enough through bad devices but the sound quality is utterly terrible.
I dont know if you will see this comment because the video now is rather old. I LISTENED to this whole video, I did not have the oppertunity to watch because I was at work. When you were saying "i like THIS over THAT" so many times i could not understand which headphone was THIS and THAT and you used these words A LOT. So minor improvements for future videos would be to say at least a shorter version of the name instead of "this" for people like me 😊
Happy New Year! Well, I appreciate the comment, and your perspective is noted. It is a video so it’s within reason to expect people would be watching it instead of just listening to it. Having said that, it’s always a good idea to include as many types of viewers as possible.

sound is like a fingerprint, everyone likes something different, if you can, try to listen to them first, I might like a sound you dont, there is no winner, ever, period....
so, You have to find a reviewer that likes the same sound as you and go from there, its getting harder to find a brick and mortar to openly test before buying, anyone that says this sounds better than that , again, its his choice, not everyone's
Motion sickness does effect a small percentage of the population. Your brain knows you’re still, but your sensory input from the screen makes your brain think you’re moving. Sucks for you. I know someone that can’t read in moving cars. If I don’t play FPS games for several weeks and then start playing, I’m instantly about to throw up. Takes my brain 2-days to figure the shit out.
That's such an asinine thing to say. What if they were made with mixing in mind ? What of it ? If the soundstage and general audio characteristics make a pair of headphones good for a task such as gaming, even though that's not the main purpose they were made for, what's the problem? You know where else very often sounds have to be accurately interpreted ? Yeah, gaming.
Everyone's ears pick up on frequencies differently. What you hear from 1 headset does not mean the other person hears the same thing.

Even if the 900 Pro's were twice the price l, they'd still be worth it based on comfort and build quality alone. But depends on the region I guess because in Europe the 900 Pro X's are only 60 to €70 more expensive than the 560s
@@bananawarlock3981 I enjoy more the wider sound of the hd560s, meanwhile the dt 900 is more precise on direction. In gaming and movies they trade blows, personally a bit inclined to the 560s, but in music the dt 900 hits way different
TY for the detailed comparison video. I've landed on these 2 sets of Headphones for FPS gaming. I initially went for the Sennheiser HD560s headphones and though I enjoyed their sound they were uncomfortable on my ears, so I am thinking of returning them and going with the Beyerdynamics DT 900 Pro X in hopes they are more comfortable for long gaming sessions.
My goal is to find the best set of 'budget' Imaging sensitive headphones for FPS gaming, combined with long session wearing comfort.
If that’s your goal then your best choice is the EPOS H6PRO (closed-back).
@@District.24 They were/are also in the running with the HD560s, DT 900 Pro X so if the 900 Pro X are also uncomfortable for me I'm move onto the H6Pro's.
@@vladtheinhailer1428hey man! Would love to hear your feedback on DT 900 Pro X 🙂
I got the 560s for gaming and the first day I have my personal best game. I want to try the dt's but there was one play in particular where i know in the past i wouldn't have heard that audio queue. I've previously tried the Kiwi Orchestra Lights, the Simgot super mix's, Hyper x cloud 2's, and the Arctis Nova Pro's. I pick up more audio que's and i'm better able to pinpoint them with the 560's. These are going to be hard to beat.
Good for you. Enjoy! 😊
the 48 ohms is actually what i love the most because its driveable by anything
Exactly!
Im also chooses 900 pro x and return 560S. The 560 was a tad more comfortable due to its lower weight, but bending the riser slightly removed the problem. The 560s played too cleanly and were not cool in music. Only in FPS.
900 Pro X are more versatile because they are both for gaming and music.
Agreed!
i tried both and 560s is better in every way especially for gaming
do you recommend the hd560s over the dt 900 pro x for fps gaming?
@@fayezelomari you try both for fps?
@@YTjuanchicod yes it's really good and i've had dt 1990 pro and honestly these headphones are better for gaming single player and especially fps
560s have never been comfortable for my head. Just got my 900 pro x last week. So far they feel so much nicer. Audio i cant tell a difference but i never have
I like your review but the moving camera severly triggers motion sickness for me. Just putting that out there in case you weren't aware that some people can't handle that. I ended up listening and glancing at the screen once in a while. Love the content and insights though!
Thanks for sharing.
Tested both for 2 weeks. Definitely DT 900 is more consistent, rounded, bodyish. For me it lacks airiness in treble. No 3-blob effect. Closed sound, wonderful bass and sub-bass. Hot for ears, heavy for my bold head.
On the other side, HD 560s has 3 blob effect on some music, open but limited dry sound with a little of bass.
Returned both. Ordered discounted HD 660s. Hope will enjoy it more )))
Thanks for sharing.
Got the hd560s for Christmas and bought the dt 900 pro x for 200 cad used. Think I prefer the dt900 pro x.
That’s what I keep telling people - sound and comfort are subjective. If you like the Beyerdynamic more then that’s the one for you. I, personally, loved the 560S, but when I heard the 900 Pro X, I liked that more. That’s just my ears.
@Troy Online definitely not vibing with the hd560s with my k5 pro. Sounds harsh on too many songs. The dt900 is so much better to my ears
You try them for gaming?
After a few weeks and playing around with eq I definitely prefer the hd560s overall. Maybe my ears just got used to them.
@Juan Tomsich Yea, the hd560s are better for gaming in my opinion, much more detailed and clear with wider soundstage
I play counter strike 2 I grind the 3200 elo on faceit and I rely a lot on the sound in my gameplay... and having tried both for me the 560S in terms of imaging is the big winner but in sound quality the dt 900 pro x is superior... but in imaging such as the 560s
I completely agree with you.
Beyerdynamic has quite a reputation, and an awesome review. I wonder where the DT 1990 Pro stands against the HD 560S. Stay safe
I wonder the same thing myself.
Well the 990x actually rolls off a bit earlier than the 560s in terms of bass so no idea why you experienced the opposite. The mids are almost on part and the treble is aot more linear with the 560s instead of the 990x boosted highs which can create bad sibilance.
In terms of imaging and sound stage they are very close.
I prefer the 560s for digital piano playing. For music I prefer the 1990 or edition XS
No idea, you say. Let me share one with you. The sound signature of any headset/headphones is based upon the structrue of the device (drivers, pads...etc.) and the structure of your own ears. This is why two individual audiophiles, listening to the same song on the same equipment can critique it differently - because they hear different, albeit similar, things.
The 900 pro x have much better extension. Oratory1990 has graphs up on his subreddit. If you meant the DT990 Pro, which was not featured in this video, then you would be correct - the 560S does have better bass extension (on paper) then the 990 Pro, but NOT the 900 Pro X.
wich one for fps gaming?
There's no such thing as a 990x.
For listening to Music (90s oldschiool HipHop, pop etc), without an AMP on the Pc would you go for the DT 900 Pro X or the HD560s or even the DT 990 (80 ohm)?. Or do you have other recommendations?
I would pick the 900 Pro X out of those two. But out of all the headsets I own, I would pick the H6PRO. I like its sound signature the most.
@@District.24 thanks, so you enjoy Music in the H6Pro more than in the DT900pro x? I just want them to listen to music. Do you have the h6pro opdn or closed?
After watching this video i bought the 900 pro X and man they are uncomfortable. They sound really nice but I couldnt keep them on my head due to the tight headband pushing down on my head. ended up returning them and ordering 560s
Everyone is different, and you have to find what works for you. You did the right thing returning them, and trying something else.
Excellent video. How about for your next video, let's dive
into best amps/dacs for PS5. More power to you man.
Easy shiit hel 2
Unless you get stacks
I'm currently torn between both of these and I hear great things for both. My main usage would be gaming and music. My only concern regarding the PRO X is the comfort since the pads on it are round rather than oval, I'm not sure its pads would go around the whole ear like on the HD 560s.
I have an AKG with round pads and it's a real deal breaker for me because the pads press the top and bottom of my ears, causing a lot of discomfort. I wouldn't want to get the PRO X and have the same issue.
Go with the HD 560S, and don’t look back.
@@District.24 Thanks! So I guess the PRO X pads don't go around the whole ear, but sit on top of it. That's a no go for me, unfortunately.
@M3G4ZZ The 900 pro x goes around my ears, and I "unfortunately" have large ears. That being said, they do touch the ears. I don't have an issue with that. Some might. I also have the AKG 702s, and I find those to be very comfortable, but I find the bass to be a bit weak. The DT 900 pro x are definitely sturdier and easier to drive with better bass, but a slightly smaller soundstage. Don't put them on high gain. They don't need it and seem to get slightly distorted if you do.
if your song mix right on that 560s YOU Cant lose!
:)
For gaming hd560s is the king:)
Thanks for sharing.
Great video, and good comparison, just not a fair one.
Comparing a constantly on sale at $150 HD560s with a mostly $280 DT 900 Pro X.
However, DT 900 Pro X do offer better comfort, overall better sound quality, more bass extension, and greater sound stage and imaging...because it costs double.
I own both. My daily driver is the DT 900 Pro X for movies and AAA gaming, but I do use HD560s for competitive shooters because of the near perfect tuning/tonality, and super clean & precise imaging with wider sound stage for greater vertical accuracy.
For me, the HD650s is wall hack mode for FPS gaming, while the DT 900 Pro X do the same, plus better bass with higher immersion, just less accuracy for verticality.
Thanks for sharing.
Do you still using the hd560s over the 900 pro x? I'm thinking to sell the 560 and go for the 900 pro
I prefer the 900 Pro X.
hd650s?? did you wanna mean hd560s right?
Damn didn’t expect that
I'm unpredictable. Just like the public transport here in Toronto.
Heard 560s and 900 pro x was like the best for gaming (if we disregard mic) but then you recommend tiger or H6PRO instead I'm like lost. I want a headset mainly for gaming and like listening to footsteps for games like CSGO/CS2 and was set on 900 Pro X but now I'm unsure. I still want music or looking at streamers or like anime to be nice but hearing things like footsteps is a higher priority as i have great speakers as is and the only other time i would use the headset would be with my laptop like lets say game at a friends place. I don't care that much about the a microphone so i don't sacrifice sound/position of like footsteps and stuff for a mic. That being said would you still recommend H6PRO/Tygr 300R over 900 pro X and if so which of them? Ik you have to "test" to see whats best for you but let's say I'm sensitive to sound and generally have lower volume than the avg person, which would you recommend off H6PRO/Tygr or if there's a better headset for 230€ or less?
I do want to add that i have scarlet 3rd gen solo (which has headset/phones slot)and a cloudlifter with Shure sm7b and DBX286s so my mic on the pc that i am on 90% of the time is superb, hence why microphone is a bit w/e.
As you know, headphones and headsets come in all shapes and sizes and features. There is no best headset, just the most suitable for you. The 560’s and 900 PRO X are not designed for gaming or streaming; they’re designed for critical listening/professional monitoring/mixing of music. As a side effect of their purpose they have excellent imaging. So these two should be considered if you plan to engage in critical listening of music and play games. The TYGR 300 is designed for gaming, and for those audio professionals who have a history with Beyerdynamics, and who want to maintain that relationship into gaming. You may find it’s sound signature more enjoyable than the 560’s and 900 PRO X, because it wasn’t designed for a high-level of audio accuracy. The H6PRO hears footsteps the best of the four, has a removable mic, volume control from the headset, and is excellently well-rounded. Just a perfect FPS gaming headset. If I were you, I would start with the H6PRO, because it ticks more boxes. If you are not satisfied with it, return it and move to the next in your list.
@@District.24 IC, thanks.
@@District.24
Nvm that, apparently he says 900 pro x is better.
Did some more research and came upon Fresh Reviews and basically HD560S and Tygr300 is VERY similar but would recommend TYGR300R esp for CS2. So will buy the TYGR300, but i was also thinking of buying a modmic in the future if i would need it if I'm at my laptop instead and was wondering if you had any suggestions for a modmic that is magnetic?
I'm sorry, I don't. I did use a mod mic awhile ago on my TYG300R The mod mic was great. Wish I could remember the name of it.

Nice video..How much both Beyerdynamic & Sennheiser Headphones please?Where you bought them please?What is Brand and model name of the big headphones near PC /CPU case please?How much and Where you bought the headphones near PC/CPU Case please?
Look for them on Amazon. The 3rd headset is the H6PRO from EPOS. Look for it on Amazon. All the prices are there. Take care.
Hello!
I just got the H6PROs with the GSX300, so far they are okay, the build quality is awesome, but the way they sit on my ears are a bit... awkward. My ears get under the comfortable pads in the very back of the headset, but its liveable. Another thing is that, i like bass, and when i tried to fiddle around with the EQ i cant get the sound to be bassy. It just lowers every other sound, whilst gaining almost no bass. I tried using the eq and settings in the steelseries sonar software ontop of the GSX300 and the EQ i have there and it improved a bit, but this audio doesnt match alot of reviews, including yours. Do you think i was just unlucky with either the GSX300 or the H6PRO and got a bad unit, or is the GSX300 just not strong enough to get that bassy sound? What soundcard do oyu use when you listen to your H6's? is it the GSX1000 or the schiit (i cant see what schiit version you have), and is that why you descirbe the sound and bassiness to be better than i experience? Before this i had a pair of Steelseries Arctis Pro bundled with a GameDAC and they almsot sounded better; the bass felt more satisfying, and the sound felt less... forced? electronic? The sound part may just be me and that im either not used to good headphones, or dont know how good headphones should sound. Or is it because the GameDAC is simply more powerful/better than the GSX300? If so, should i try to sell the GSX300 (maybe for a profit, it was $20 extra for the bundle but the card alone is $80.) and get another external DAC, maybe a Sound BlasterX G6? Ive heard good things of the G6 and the features seems good. Btw, many DACs praised by various reviewers are simply not available, at least not at a fair price, here in Sweden, so options like the Schiit Fulla is sadly not actually an option for me. Shipping alone would be hundreds of dollars becuase of the toll taxes and everything.
I hope this wasnt a way too long comment, tried to cut it short, but maybe i failed. Would love to hear your take and advice on this, and ofc people from the comments advice.
I really like your content, your honest and talk about whats important in your reviews, in my opinion you deserve way more subs, your videos are so informative. Good luck with your channel!
Sorry for the late reply. I’ve been in bed with a bad back for the last two weeks. Just crawling my way back into the world now. I’m sad to read you’re having issues with your new purchases. You have some specific questions, which I can’t answer, because I’m not there. Perhaps you do have a bad DAC or headphones, or something - I don’t know. Maybe you’re no good at configuring EQ - I dont’t know. Maybe (like you said) you don’t know good sound from bad sound - I don’t know. I wish I was there, because I could tell you in 10-secs if it’s not sounding right. The truth is: sound is subjective. So perhaps the sound signature is not pleasing to you. So many people love the H6PRO, including myself, but there are some who don’t like it at all. EPOS has EQ software for its wireless gaming headsets. They don’t effect the wired headsets. Remove the gsx300 and test the sound plugging your H6PRO directly into your motherboard. No sonar. That’s what I do, and it sounds great. I also use it with the GSX1000 and the Schiit Hel 2, and it still sounds great - even though the Hel 2 makes the sound brighter, and the gsx make the sounder darker. The H6PRO is 28 ohms I believe, so it doesn’t require an amp. Here’s my advice: try different configurations and if you’re still not happy return it. The important thing is that you’re happy. Don’t waste another second on a headset that doesn’t meet your expectations. Good luck, friend.
@@District.24 No worries! I hope you feel better soon. I dont think the problem is that im bad at configuring the EQ, im not saying im very good at it, but I know the basics, and I have played around with EQ's for a long time. I tried connecting the headphones directly to the motherboard, once without using the GSX300 and sonar, and once only using sonar, and I definetly prefer the sound when im using sonar and the headphones plugged directly into the motherboard. Either I got a bad example of the DAC, or its just shit lol. Or, I just dont like the sound of it. Now the bass response and frequencies feels alot more natural and better sounding, closer to what the steelseries sounded like, even better than what they sounded like tbh. The GSX300 made almost every other frequency lower when there was any bass present, and I have no idea why. Maybe its just not a very good/powerful DAC, or, as I just said, I just dont like the way the people over at EPOS have tuned it. I think im going to return the headset + DAC and just get the headset alone to save myself $20. Without your comment I definetly wouldn't have tried the headphones directly connected to the motherboard, and I would never have noticed that the thing I dont like is the DAC, and I am really grateful that you responded! I honestly believe your dedication and hard work should be appreciated more than it is, you definetly match, and in many cases beat, larger channels in the way you describe and review head-phones/sets, and definetly in the way you help your viewers. And im talking about big channels, 100k++ subs, you should really get the attention you deserve. Btw, I also mentioned that the fit of the headset was weird, I kind of got over it, I just gotta adjust them every now and then, but its probably a good thing, more than once when I have taken my headphones off to adjust them I have realized that I should maybe take a break from playing games or watching movies ;)
I really, really hope that your channel gets the attention it deserves. And again, thank you for helping me, and so many others, with their sound! I hope your back gets good soon :)
Best wishes from Sweden
I forgot to write this, but I'll probably try the Sound Blaster G6 aswell. Maybe I have more luck with that than with the GSX300, if not, ill just return it :)
It's all about finding the right headset and amp combo that works for you.
have you tried the GSP 600?i tried both H6PRO and GSP 600 . in my opinion GSP 600 is slightly better.Would be nice a comparison between Game Zero,GSP 600 and H6PRO.The Sennheiser/Epos chronological competitiv gaming headsets lineup 😁
I respect the fact the GSP 600 appealed to you, unfortuantely, it did not for me. Sound is subjective. I wish I liked all the headsets I purchased then I wouldn't have to keep buying headsets. LOL.
like without looking. I was waiting for this comparison
The HD 560S is a good analytical headphones. But for games, I think the DT 900 PRO X is better. Definitely more professional feeling.
Very great video - thank you! There are 2 AMPs on your desk. Which one do you prefer for pc FPS gaming? And do you use the Sennheiser GSX with 7.1 mode?
would like to use the amp for tygr 300 r and dt 900 pro x
On PC I use the GSX 1000, which is not the best amp out there. It does what it does excellently, but it’s not very loud. How dare it call itself an amp. LOL. I plan to upgrade it anyway, as I’ve had it a long time. I’m interested in a Schiit stack or something similar. I have used the 7.1 surround sound, and it’s excellent. My only issue with the GSX is how loud it doesn’t get.
For those headphones, I would suggest a stack more powerful and modern than the GSX 1000.
@@District.24 Thank you!
I will watch out for a new AMP/DAC in your next video/s
I am interested in the Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus even though it is pretty old. The Topping DX3 Pro+ also seem fine. Unfortunately i can't find any better 7.1 AMP/DAC
The 7.1 n the GSX 1000 is 2nd to none. But I just wish the amp amplified more. You should still check it out though. Decide if it’s for you or not.
The dt 900 pro x plays in another league...more hd 660s. I have the 700 pro X and i love this sound ❤

Mate, would you be so kind to tell which amplifier do you use with your DT`s? Thank you!
I use the Fiio K11 and Shiit Hel 2.
Good afternoon. Which headphones or headset would you recommend to exclusively play CS2?
Razer Kaira X, EPOS H3, Sennheiser GSP 301.
the 900 pro x is semi open that is why it sounds very different. now i own the dt 1990 pro which is way for gaming and way more sharp then the 560s

@@azizi__ they are both great which ever way you go. 560s is more chill. The 900 pro x is more fun. 560s. Has a bigger sound stage more note separation better for music editing. Or be like me and buy them both lol.

Hey Troy, thanks for your insightful recommendations on the headsets! I was wondering which keyboard are you currently using?
I use the Logitech G915.
whats batter arctis pro , arctis pro nova, gsp670 or h6pro to playing at adventure games
Well, sound is subjective, but in my experience, I would have to go with the H6PRO. You're experience may be different, so try a few headsets and pick the one you like the most.
This is probably a dumb question, but ill ask it anyway. I've been someone whos always used consumer grade gaming headsets like the hyperx cloud flights or the logitec g430. How much better is the sound on the DT900 pro x? Is it worth the upgrade?
Yes and no. Yes, because Beyerdynamic and EPOS, are companies with decades of experience in audio. Leaders in the audio industry. They make better quality and better sounding headsets. But none of that means anything if you don’t like the sound. There are some people who can’t tell the difference between a $2000 bottle of wine and a $20 bottle. If that’s you then stick with the $20 bottle. Understand?
@@District.24 as a audiophile I can say this explanation is pretty spot on.
I have positive grid spark 40amp , and I also play fps games , can you suggestion headphone
EPOS H6PRO if you want a mic. TYGR 300R if you don’t need a mic, because the imaging is slightly better.
What is a good dac/amp to drive the 560s?? I want to play music directly from my phone with USBC. Thanks
Take a look at the THX Onyx. That’s what I use.
Which sound card you use with your H6PROs?

What sound card do you recommend for playing game(Valorant)?
I’m sorry but I don’t play Valorant.
Hi
Wanted ask which better for overal use gaming, movies and music, Can say i am casual user(using hedphones like 2-5h per day). DT TYGR 300 R or DT 900 pro x ??
You have to understand that your question is difficult to answer, because sound is subjective. If you want overall performance between the two, I would choose the 900 Pro X. That’s my choice. It doesn’t mean my choice would suit you. I own and enjoy the TYGR, however, I only use it for gaming. If I need a mic, I use the H6PRO, and if I just want to listen to music, I use my KZ ZS10 Pro IEMs. So my advice to you is to try different headphones until you find one that has a sound signature you enjoy for the purpose you require.
@@District.24 why you use kz zs10 pro if you have dt900 pro which is way better then iem?
I don’t, usually, sit when listening to music. I move around, so the IEMs suit that scenario better for me. Additionally, I prefer the sound of my IEMs for Motown and disco songs, of which I listen too a lot. Five speakers in each ear - wow!
how is gaming on DT 900 Pro x? is the bass good enough?
Yes it is. Expensive but very nice headset.
Please make a comparison between TYGR 300 R and PC38x!
Peace!
O.K.
So, if i get it correctly, for classical digital piano practice with a Kawai sound, you'd recommend 560S over 900 Pro X or am i wrong please ?
Thanks for your review !
Both these headsets are designed for critical listening. Only you can decide which sound signature suits you. I would purchase both, and return the one I enjoyed the least.
@@District.24 unfortunately I can't do that :/ thanks for the advice though.
I can't compare sound signature through a video right ?
As I said, "I would purhcase both, and return the one I enjoyed the least." In other words, you have to actually buy these headsets yourself and test them to find out which one you like. I, and reviewers like me, can only give you so much information. You really have to jump in and get your hands dirty with these headsets to find out the one for you. I'm not rich. I don't have sponsers. I just buy the headsets/headphones myelf, when I can afford to, and try them out. I've spent a lot of money, but I have also learned a lot from the experience, and I found the H6PRO, which is a godsend of a headset.
are the HD 560s better audio quality then the razer blackshark v2 pro wireless? Im tryna upgrade but i dont know if its an upgrade or not
Sound is subjective. The HD560S may or may not sound better to your ears. The only way to find out is for you to test it. If you don’t care for it, take it back. Generally speaking, most people would find the 560’s nicer sounding, as they’re designed to reproduce sound more accurately.
@@District.24 is it better when playing games tho? like can u hear ur surroundings better and know where they comjng from

The 560’s excel in imaging, sound stage and accuracy. They’re an open-back reference headphones that are one of the best for FPS games.

I had a comfort issue with the dt 880 (I think same pads as the tygr), my ears were touching the drivers... Will i have the same issue with these? Which of these have thicker pads?
I don't believe the pads are any different between the DT 880 and the TYGR 300 R. However, the 900 PRO X, felt to me, like the pads were thicker.
@@District.24 But the clamping force is also higher. There is a danger that they will rather flatten themselves out.
I had no problem with the clamping force of the TYGR or the 900 Pro X. A person needs to try headphones themselves because comfort is subjective.
Been looking at these to use for a mix of PC and console gaming. Leaning towards buying the DT 900 PRO X.
Also Ohms don't matter for needing an amp or not. It is all about the sensitivity for how easy a headphone is to drive. The DT 900 PRO X should be easier to drive because it's sensitivity is 114 dB SPL @ 1V versus 110dB for the HD 560S. But both are very easy to drive and don't require an amp. You can run them from a controller or a phone.
Your information is incorrect. Firstly, the DT 900 PRO X is 100 dB not 114. Secondly, ohms do matter. When the resistance is high, the headphone will still work, but won’t perform at its best. You need an amp to drive it to optimal performance levels. Lastly, sensitivity below 100 dB tends to result in a lower volume level, while sensitivity above 110 dB can be very loud for some.

Nominal sound pressure level
@1 mW / 500 Hz . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100 dB SPL
Nominal sound pressure level

Don't mistake @1mW and @ 1V. The sennheisers are rated @ 1V so you should take the same stat for the Beyers
I’ve reviewed the information you stated, and you’re correct. The HD 560S is showing 110 db with V. The 900 PRO X is showing 100 dB with mW. The conversion to V brings it to 114 dB, as stated on the site. I appreciate the education. I stand behind my statement that ohms is important. I understand you disagree with that, so on that issue, we’ll have to agree to disagree.
@@RutgerMulder you could just Fiio k7 pro for $200 good dac or ifi air can for $100 if money is tight. A dac will open up the 900 pro x. You could also get a turtle beach controller that has a dac in it for $40
@@crate718 I am running a Topping DX3 pro+ amp on PC which will power any headphone. I also bought the DT 900 PRO X and i can say they do fine without an amp on my PS5 controller. The controller will even drive my 300 Ohm Sennheiser HD 6XX to levels that will damage your hearing. The 6xx just lack bass and ain't great for soundstage in games. The DT 900 pro x are great in games. Not really missing the amp on console vs pc.
I don’t see how anyone could ever like the 900s they’re such shit for enjoyment. They sound so hollow and sharp with zero midrange, they’re good for what they’re supposed to do and that’s for mixing and actual critical listening and finding out if a note doesn’t match, but if you want to ACTUALLY enjoy what your listening to, 560s are better by a mile. Don’t just get what the streamers have, they don’t know better either. They’re also very comfortable too, but 560s aren’t far behind
So what you’re saying is that you know best, and everyone else has no clue?
@@District.24 ahh, Internet police, my bad. In my opinion *insert previous comment*
I choose dt 900x pro
I really enjoyed the DT 900 Pro.
@@District.24 I compared them directly with the 560s as the main opponent, which did not impress me either in terms of material quality or in terms of sound. price 290$ Vs 245$
Task: chose specifically for listening to music.
also considered 990 pro (not bad), taxstar 580 (bad)
Hello from Ukraine!
Hello from Canada. Stay safe my friend.
Which dac/amp do you use for your ps5?
Schiit Hel 2e
I have HD560s and I pulg 3.5mm jack direcetly into my thinkpad laptop. only 20% volume is lound enough to enjoy the music. So, you do not need an amp. Maybe my laptop sound dac is good I think. If I plug it into my GL552vw laptop the sound is not that great because of poor sound dac on this laptop. I baught an apple 3.5mm to type c adapter. Using the apple dongle it sounds exactly like thinkpad laptop.
So HD560s doesn't need an amp. Just buy an apple dongle and you will be fine.
On my openion HD560s is the best headphoe for the price 150 EUR
You’re not getting the best sound out of your 560S. You just think you are. To get the best sound you need an amp, because that headphone is 120 ohms. Working and working at its best is not the same thing.
Properly driving a headphone isn't just about volume. I can get my hd600 more than loud enough through bad devices but the sound quality is utterly terrible.
Hey, which one for classical music?
HD 560S.
@@District.24 Thank you!
I dont know if you will see this comment because the video now is rather old. I LISTENED to this whole video, I did not have the oppertunity to watch because I was at work. When you were saying "i like THIS over THAT" so many times i could not understand which headphone was THIS and THAT and you used these words A LOT. So minor improvements for future videos would be to say at least a shorter version of the name instead of "this" for people like me 😊
Happy New Year! Well, I appreciate the comment, and your perspective is noted. It is a video so it’s within reason to expect people would be watching it instead of just listening to it. Having said that, it’s always a good idea to include as many types of viewers as possible.
@@District.24it is a great review. But, a lot of people dont Watch TH-cam, but “listen TH-cam” - many people start a yt video and listen to it in the background. So actually, it is not within reason to expect people to actually Watch the video. Half of the yt videos I “Watch” is running in the background while I game or do something Else.
i just bought my dt 770 pro 80 ohms and planning to buy the 560s next, but now this came out hahaha.
Why 80 ohms? You could have gotten the 32 and not required an amp.
which games are you referring to?
PS5: BFV, BF2042, Destiny 2, Grand Turismo 7, FIFA 23, Fortnite, and Spider-Man: Miles Moralis
PC: BFV, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Fortnite and Elder Scrolls Online
Headphone that costs double is better... yeah I would be surprised if it's not.
:)
Noice 👌
Syke not one more before Jan hahahah
I felt it was my obligation to let my viewers know that I enjoyed the DT 900 PRO X more than the HD 560S before Christmas. Who knows, someone may wish to make a final change to their Christmas list. :)
sound is like a fingerprint, everyone likes something different, if you can, try to listen to them first, I might like a sound you dont, there is no winner, ever, period....
so, You have to find a reviewer that likes the same sound as you and go from there, its getting harder to find a brick and mortar to openly test before buying, anyone that says this sounds better than that , again, its his choice, not everyone's
build is important, but clearly sound is the most, some are all plastic and last for many years like the HD600, outstanding
you could sound like Saul Goodman if you tried
Hmmm. Not sure if that’s an insult or not. :)
@@District.24 deffo not haha :D

the video is making me dizzy
Motion sickness does effect a small percentage of the population. Your brain knows you’re still, but your sensory input from the screen makes your brain think you’re moving. Sucks for you. I know someone that can’t read in moving cars. If I don’t play FPS games for several weeks and then start playing, I’m instantly about to throw up. Takes my brain 2-days to figure the shit out.
560s are mixing headphones, you need a audio interface or preamp to use them and are made for analyse sounds not gaming
Thanks for sharing
I plug the h560s straight into my laptop’s 3.5mm port and it is plenty loud. No distortion or any other issues.
900 pro x are mixing headphones too. Not much content in the comment.
That's such an asinine thing to say. What if
they were made with mixing in mind ? What
of it ? If the soundstage and general audio
characteristics make a pair of headphones
good for a task such as gaming, even
though that's not the main purpose they
were made for, what's the problem? You know where else very often sounds have to be accurately interpreted ? Yeah, gaming.
Dumbest.. comment.. EVER
