Reply to comment by not_a_masterpiece in Beyerdynamic DT 990 seem really underwhelming by vermthrowaway

Too much for me atm.
How does the 80 ohm compare to the 250? Again, I appreciate better quality, but I'm mostly gaming and not mixing audio tracks or anything.

For any of these decent audiophile headphones you will want and likely need an amp. It’s pretty simple: you plug the amp into a wall, then connect one cable from your PC/laptop to the amp. Then you plug your headphones right into the amp. Your sound and volume will be massively improved and the added bonus is a nice volume knob on the amp. There are definitely cheaper amps than the Topping (which is actually an amp/DAC combo), but it will work for pretty much anything you throw at it.
