No ure not wrong. Ure just slow

The Arias have a gigantic peak around 12k for me that needs a 15dB cut in order to sound decent. Maybe we are kindred spirits.

Hd800s are insanely good for games imo.

Explain exactly what the difference between tuning and ramble is in sense of headphones

Which are extremely good as well. Not a true audiophiles, I see :)

Merry Christmas and congratulations

They also have a lot of audio files, so not compressing it enough can increase install size or cause issues with performance.

nice

As someone who's been in this game for a while. I trust the guy with multiple hifi sets including the Diana's. Don't sweat it arguing with this dude, he's obviously one of those people who like to justify their purchases as the end all be all anyone who disagrees is inferior.

So I personally use a pair of WH-1000XM4s but I autoEQ'd them to be the 2018 Harman Neutral over ear target, and I do not get this.

What you are describing is something I notice specifically with open backs. However the Sennheiser HD800S are phenomenal for gaming.

Closed backs for gaming, open backs for everything else is what I'd say you could roll with if you want to hot swap. However, you could use SteelSeries Engine to use their app SteelSeries Sonar (I think) and you can actually set a custom EQ per game, meaning that you could run a neutral target the rest of the time and then tune the open backs to sound proper during gaming.

This is just my two cents, there is always the fact that you're experiencing is just shitty video game settings (should be using Headphones mode and I like to turn on all of the audio enhancements the game offers).

So I think a few things are going on here.

1. The dt 770s are made for audio production where you want to hear everything, good bad and the ugly. So when paired with a source that may not be geared towards sounding great in all things but great in a few you'll definitely hear that.

2. A lot of people in this hobby don't like closed back headphones as they feel it sounds like the music and what not are being played through a clamshell. If he happens to have a pair of open back headphones give them a try and see what you think.

3. It may also be you're used to your Logitechs sound signature and that anything else sounds really weird. I have like six pairs of different headphones and when I switch between them it takes me a couple minutes to get used to how they sound.

4. And finally sound a subjective what sounds good to your friend doesn't necessarily mean it'll sound good to you. And a lot of people forget that in this hobby. So if you like the sound of your logitechs by all means enjoy them, because there is really no wrong way to enjoy audio even when there's those people out that that will tell you as such.

i don't know if it's a good headphone for that but i use my Sundara for some BF2042 and i like a lot

This makes sense. I used a pair of TYGR 300s for months, recently got a pair of LCD-GXs, and it took a little bit for me to adapt but now that I have it’s crazy the immersion and scale is so much better

What it really boils down to is the dt770, while a good and well respected set of headphones, is not a high end pair of headphones. It's still firmly in the range of cheaper consumer grade electronics. I've never listened to them myself before but I've heard they're lacking in several areas. I tested almost every gaming headset on the market back in 2019-2020 and I found the SteelSeries Arctis Pro to be a great gaming headset with really hifi sound, especially if you get it with the Game DAC. For about $350 it sounds as good as a lot of my $700 plus headphones.

Edit: Downvoted for telling the truth.

Take a look at that treble response curve.

Also notice that 6.5 for gaming. Compared to the 8.0 gaming score of the Arctis Pro. Meanwhile it has a much better treble response while staying close in the lows and mids. I'll back my shit up.

I have not heard it but everybody is saying that it has good resolution.

It will be so embarrassing if that's actually the case, but it's in my best interest to hope that it is lol

I recommend this too, my ears were clogged for so long that I forgot that the wind made a sound because of how clogged my ears were. After getting my ears cleaned everything sounded overbearingly loud and more detailed, I was astonished by the sound of the wind.

I had a similar issue about two years ago, and my hearing improved enormously after getting my ears cleaned. Otherwise, you’ll know that the damage might be permanent. I hope you can get it resolved easily!

I will, then I'll confirm

It’s actually quite possible that your ear could be clogged. I’d advise you to get it looked at by an appropriate doctor, it might just be earwax buildup.

Also crucially, minimal mic bleed.

Because it's probably the most sound-focused thing to check for? If you're playing any competitive FPS, it's a common sound you're looking for, and competitive FPSs are one of the most popular genres in the world. What's another gaming-specific sound that people care about hearing clearly that's not specific to a certain game?

In some ways, footsteps are essentially the "Vocal clarity" of gaming. Plenty of people listen to music without vocals, just like a lot of people play games where footsteps don't matter, but it's a nice marker that a lot of people care about.

Playing overwatch with my HD6XX sounds just like I think it should sound. I don't have any complaints about gaming with them and they image better than other gaming headphones imo so I'm quite happy with them.

I also like to enable the bass boost on my iFi Zen Dac for my background music to sound better, so maybe that kinda fixes the hollowness a bit.

You know it's also hard to sit and demo a headphone for a moments use you're not familiar with, coming from a gaming headset especially, but all headphones. It may strike you as oddly off or hollow, particularly when coming from a HP with bass boost, or a more forward mid, or virtual surround. Takes time for your hearing to adjust to the new sound character. Also I don't think the dt770 80 ohm is all that impressive. Not to knock it at all. It's good as far as closed backs are concerned for quiet/less bleed use cases, but an open back gains you more natural detail and soundstage. Also, try the higher ohm version with a dac and amp. Or the dt 990.

ANC has technical limitations, what magic did you expect? Chu's are like a 2 in a 1000 iem that should've cost at least 80€. I'd argue DSP makes them superio, fit is unfortunate, they work just fine in my ear. Genetically more fitting for me.

A good solution is Fiio bt amp dac you can hang around your ear and use on any IEM with 2 pin or MMX.

Good, cheap overear BT are Mpow or AKG's.
