Got some new mixing headphones. Why do I feel like I can’t judge my mix on them?

So my old mixing headphones (Avantone Mixphones) broke on Wednesday, so I ordered new ones which thanks to Thomann came yesterday in the mail (Beyerdynamics DT 900 Pro X) and those are wayyyyy flatter in response, especially in the low end, but way more detailed and focused.
And I feel more comfortable with them though I feel like I can’t judge the bass adjustments right.
It’s always to cloudy or too huge.
Is that just an adjustment thing of my ears/brain?
Do I need to get comfortable with them and that just takes time and a lot of listening sessions, with mixes from myself and others that I like a lot, to get to know them better?
I mostly listen and produce/mix extrem Metal Genres and some EDM and Hip Hop.
I feel like the bass sounds kinda dull.. but yeah maybe it’s just an adjustment thing?

DT 770 Pro X (Stellar.45) for PS5 and PC Story Gaming - Enough power without DAC?

Hey everyone, I’m planning to join the Beyer family and looking at the DT 770 Pro X. I’m currently coming from high-end gaming gear like the Audeze Maxwell and SteelSeries Nova Pro. I loved the Maxwell's sound but hated the comfort/build, and the Nova Pro just feels a bit "flimsy" and the pads aren't great for long sessions.

I mainly play single-player titles (Resident Evil, God of War) where dialogue clarity and immersion are key. Since I use a dedicated Fifine mic, I don't need a headset anymore.

My main concern: I want to run the 48-ohm Stellar.45 drivers directly off my PS5 controller and PC motherboard without a dedicated Amp/DAC. Does anyone here use them like this? Is the "punch" and volume sufficient for immersive story games? Also, how do the velour pads hold up for 3+ hour sessions compared to typical leatherette gaming pads?

Thanks for any insights!

DT 770 Pro X or DT 700 Pro X

I know this has been asked a lot on this sub, I just can't seem to decide even after reading some threads.

I need them for both recording and mixing but I also do a lot of gaming (maybe 75% gaming and 25% mixing and recording, though I just graduated with a music degree and will have more time for my music so id like to be doing a lot more of that now that I have time), I've been seeing that the 700 is more neutral and therefore better for mixing but I have also seen some reviews regarding a bad headband (which according to some has been fixed??) and a narrow sound space, which i am not sure I'll love. On the other hand the 770 is a classic and doesnt have this problem but has a more colored sound which might mess with my mixing.

To add, I am really into listening to music how the producer intended which is what is pulling more towards the 700 but again the narrow sound space worries me. Any one have any reccomendations?

I currently use these headphones with an audio interface: Behringer umc uphoria 204hd.

I'm not sure if the interface powers them enough, and so I'm not sure if I would need an amp added on top.
Currently the audio interface gives enough volume, and I use an eq to boost bass a little bit and to control the treble, however I'm not sure if I'm still using them at the most of their potential, the sound can feel a bit cloudy and not so spacious sometimes.

I tried adding to the audio interface a cheap amp that I had (Behringer ha400 4 stereo channel) which only made it a bit crispier and that's it.
Should I get a proper amp or is my audio interface enough for them?

I use em for listening and for music production, so I want to get the most out of these headphones. Amp budget would be around 100€.

MMX 330 PRO - Recommendations?

I'm quite new to the PC gaming scene and on top of that, very new to the audio side of things. Some friends of mine are rocking a setup with a Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO, a separate microphone, and an Amp. I really loved the sound and overall quality of Beyerdynamic, but I strongly prefer an all-in-one solution for my desk. This brought me to the MMX 330 PRO.

Now that I am on the verge of buying the headset, I stumbled across a lot of people complaining about the microphone quality. Others point towards getting a proper DAC or external soundcard to fix this.

For context, my motherboard is the ASRock B850M-X R2.0.

My questions are:

  • Is an external DAC/Amp really needed for my specific setup to make this studio-grade mic sound as good as it should?
  • If so, could someone give me some good, budget-friendly recommendations to make this headset work flawlessly?

Thanks in advance!

DT 900 Pro X or DT 1990 Pro MKI

I made a previous post and still didn’t order the 900 Pro X. I found a DT 1990 Pro MKI for 70$ more (used in great condition).

Which one should I go for?

Hi folks, a while ago I bought the Beyerdynamic 990 Pro X (48 ohms). Before that, I had only used the Logitech G733, and they caused ear pain because the ear pads were too small for my ears.

So I switched to the Beyerdynamic, and I think they’re great overall. The right side feels as comfortable and pleasant as possible. However, the left side is unbearable—not in the ear itself, but on my cheekbone. It causes pain that forces me to take the headphones off, and it’s starting to make me dislike wearing headphones altogether.

I’ve already tried stretching the headband for quite a few days, which reduced the pressure a bit, but it still hurts a lot. I’ve also tried many different positions, but it’s the same in all of them. I think my left cheekbone might stick out a bit more, and the ear pad presses there and causes pain—but I’m not really sure what’s happening or what to do.

In the photo, you can see what looks like a “bump” or ridge between my cheekbone and the ear pad.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Is the DT 770 Pro X Le the issue?

Hi All - I have a question - I have the DT 770 Pro X Le Headphones and I get ear pain when using them each day though it depends on the volume and content, I don't feel like I make the volume too high I turn it up to hear the instruments in music which you can't really hear with the volume lower.

Now I have heard that the DT 770 has a treble / highs issue which I wonder if that could be causing my ear pain... I have also developed tinnitus in the past few months, I am going to the doctor about all this but...

I found this video on EQ'ing the DT 770 to reduce the treble and highs and I tried it but it muffles the audio and reduces the details... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJuKJAmMCRw

So what does anyone suggest I do, I also have the Fio FT1 which I am trying but unsure if that hurts my ears too, I like the audio quality of the DT 770 but obviously I don't want to be dealing with the ear pain

I'm also using the Focusrite Solo 4th Gen but that doesn't really affect anything, the ear pain I believe started around the time I got the DT 770 at the end of 2024, so I'm wondering if it is these headphones and I've just been ignoring the pain all this time, I didn't use my pc that much in 2025 but in 2026 I have been using it a lot so I'm getting the pain more.

Can’t decide between 990 Pro X and 900 Pro X

Hi. I’am upgrading from Audio Technica M50x and have never used an open-back headphone before. The main purpose is for mixing and mastering. Which one is good, the 990 or 900? (as Pro X versions). I heard some good things about DT 770 Pro but would love to try the open back headphones

Hey guys! I've been tempted to get myself a pair of these. From what I hear the sound quality is supposedly fantastic, the mic appears to be more than sufficent and they look drop dead gorgeous!

But there are surprisingly few reviews of them, and I read a few older comments on here saying that the noise cancelling is lacking. Is that the general agreement? I live in a small apartment and my girlfriend is often watching TV in the same room as our respective computers. It would be neat to have something that could filter out that sound to a better extent than my current pair of headphones.

I'm choosing between these and the JBL Quantum 910. Beyerdynamics pair goes for 250eur, but JBL's are available for 140. That would probably be a much better deal... But they aren't as pretty looking😆 And the sound does seem to be better on the 230.

So uh, I reach out to you. Anyone with experience of these who can give further input about the ANC? Or any other thoughts about them. Thanks!

Hello.

The TYGR 300R perfectly fits my needs

- open backs

- good enough sound quality

- warm v-shaped sound

- non-piercing treble

- excellent imaging

- very good soundstage

- sturdy build that will last

But the catch is, due to international shipping fees it will cost me about 270$ cause it is not available in my region.

Do you think i should pull the trigger?

Or there is another option with most of the features above?

Tbh, they sound like 💩.

No mid lows, highs are there but sound terrible.

And it doesn't look like a 50mm driver to me.

What do you think?

Hi 👋 my name is Yekta I used momentum 4 hd58x accentum wireless samson semi open edition xs sundara and he400se in the past. I got my aventho 300 5 days ago this is my review in terms of sound quality and my general opinions about the aventho 300

When I putted on my head for first time my first impression was "why this sounds so good in tonality (tonality: average DB amount of bass mid and treble.) but sucks in resolution ( peaks cuts and dips in frequency) and than I fell in love with the Dolby Atmos sound. I used apple music Dolby Atmos mastered albums for listenings and the experience was great 😃. My next move was fixing the resolution errors, i used tone generator and hearing tests to find the errors and it was not easy but after 1 whole day of frustrating i got some promising results. Errors were in 120Hz, 2kHz, 4kHz, 6kHz. But remember that every ear and head is unique and the results may vary :)

I understand this is DEFINITELY a noob question lol. I'm also not entirely sure if this sub has flairs so apologies in advance if this isn't where I'm supposed to post this.

I recently just got a pair of DT 770 Pros and music on them sounds great but my main use case was for gaming and honestly media and games sound a bit quiet. It could just be because I don't have a DAC/AMP yet but it is arriving in the mail tomorrow (https://www.amazon.com/Fosi-Audio-K5-Pro-Headphone-dp-B0BFHFSX4C/dp/B0BFHFSX4C)
The Fosi K5 pro ones to be specific.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this could be the case? I've seen 10-20 videos on how these are great for gaming.
My motherboard is also the B650M PG Lightning Wifi that has a Realtek ALC897 7.1 CH HD Audio Codec.

Any help would be appreciated!!
I also used peace to equalize them with a config.

audio problem with dt770 pro

i have weird problem with my dt770 pro's, The sound in my left earbud suddenly disappeared. It comes back when I turn the volume up, but at low volumes it fades away and disappears again, then comes back when I turn the volume up. What do you think the problem might be? I opened the earphones and checked the wires and solder, but I couldn't find any problems.
