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.

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.

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.

Beyerdynamic has quite a reputation, and an awesome review. I wonder where the DT 1990 Pro stands against the HD 560S. Stay safe

Excellent video. How about for your next video, let's dive into best amps/dacs for PS5. More power to you man.

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!

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.

the 48 ohms is actually what i love the most because its driveable by anything

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?

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!

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

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?

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?

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.

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?

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 😁

What is a good dac/amp to drive the 560s?? I want to play music directly from my phone with USBC. Thanks

Good afternoon. Which headphones or headset would you recommend to exclusively play CS2?

Damn didn’t expect that

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?

Got the hd560s for Christmas and bought the dt 900 pro x for 200 cad used. Think I prefer the dt900 pro x.

Hey Troy, thanks for your insightful recommendations on the headsets! I was wondering which keyboard are you currently using?

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.

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 ??

What sound card do you recommend for playing game(Valorant)?

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 !

whats batter arctis pro , arctis pro nova, gsp670 or h6pro to playing at adventure games

I have positive grid spark 40amp , and I also play fps games , can you suggestion headphone

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

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

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.

Which dac/amp do you use for your ps5?

like without looking. I was waiting for this comparison

Which sound card you use with your H6PROs?

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

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

Noice 👌

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 )))

if your song mix right on that 560s YOU Cant lose!

which games are you referring to?

For gaming hd560s is the king:)

Hey, which one for classical music?

I’m trying to decide between these two for fps gaming, music listening and playing my digital piano.

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

Please make a comparison between TYGR 300 R and PC38x! Peace!

The dt 900 pro x plays in another league...more hd 660s. I have the 700 pro X and i love this sound ❤

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.

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.

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

I choose dt 900x pro

i just bought my dt 770 pro 80 ohms and planning to buy the 560s next, but now this came out hahaha.

Syke not one more before Jan hahahah

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

Headphone that costs double is better... yeah I would be surprised if it's not.

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 😊

you could sound like Saul Goodman if you tried

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....

the video is making me dizzy

560s are mixing headphones, you need a audio interface or preamp to use them and are made for analyse sounds not gaming
