Hello, I hope you all have a great and healthy day.
(If you don't want to read my life story, skip to the ** symbols)
So I was working hard and in the end, I collected some money and decided to reward myself, I've been struggling around the internet, between posts, threads, articles, and YouTube videos and in the end I boughtFocusrite Scarlett 2i2 (3rd Gen) and Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 ohm.
My gear was only a cheap 30$ headphones from Aliexpress called Bluedio T5S, they sound amazing for the price, but I wanted to buy something a bit better for music and long sitting time on the computer.
MY DT990 with Scarlett 2i2 reached, finally the moment became, and.......
Yes there is a difference, big one, but it's not what I was waiting for, I expected from 250$ difference to get some clean music, but I am still hearing some very light noise, I don't know how to describe that well, I am not native English speaker, but it's like you're touching soft silk but each some seconds your hand feels something barbed.
That's spoiling my experience, and I've heard from many users that the DT770 = 990 has a special sound that is not suitable for everybody.
**So for those who tried DT990 and didn't like it, what would you recommend me instead? I have the Scarlett 2i2, it looks nice, and I am not willing to pay for an extra amp, so is there anything suitable for me? I don't care open or closed back, I just want to enjoy clean music, I mostly use it for Pop and vocals
Edit: after reading, I found many people facing same problem and derived well with words like "harsh, sibilance, and something with treble"
Sounds like my ear are too sensitive for these, and headphones recommendations which wouldn't hurt my ear with that "harsh"?
