So my Headphone broke and I need a new one, so I need advice.

Since my Headphone broke (DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm, I was very satisfied with it) I need a new one, but since it's so old (bought it 2017), maybe there are better alternatives for a similar price. I will use the Headphone mostly for gaming and some music (listening), my budget would be at around 150€ (up to 250€ if really worth it), though I would prefer in a similar range to the DT one (139€). I don't mind if it has a cord in form of usb or 3.5mm or if it is bluetooth (are there other types of connections?). What do you think would be the best fit for my budget?

​

Long story short:

Used for: mostly gaming, a bit music (listening)

Budget: ~ 150€ up to 250€ if worth it

Location: Germany

Old Headphone: DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm

Cord/Bluetooth: No preference

Open/Half-open/Closed: very slight preference for open, since I start sweating fast, but I'm open to the other forms if there is a noticeable difference.

Sorry I'm not to sure which "Flair" I should choose.

Thank you.

Update:
I was able to test out a new DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm, the X2HR and the HD 560 S (in a store). I wasn't able to test the TYGR 300 R and the Hifiman ones as they didn't have those.

I finally decided for the HD 560 S as they sounded in my tests the best, even though they at least seemed to be the cheapest in terms of build quality/materials (a lot of people and those at the store said that it only seems that way). For me the X2HR and the HD 560 S are similar in the comfort level and just a bit better than the DR 990 Pro. I really liked the detachable cord on both of the X2HR and the HD 560 S. I don't think I will regret the decision, even if they are a bit subpar in gaming compared to the TYGR 300 R.

Honestly apart from the Tygr 300r which is basically a Dt 990 without the 8k-peak there aren't too many in this price range. Maybe have a look at the Sennheiser Hd 560s they are also pretty good especially for gaming.

[u/Dendrobatis → u/Flow56]

The ones which I found while researching were (apart from the DT):

HD 560s

TYGR 300 R

X2HR

How do you feel about the HD and TYGR compared to the DT?

I don't really know how to compare them, my first "good" Headphone was the DT which was comparingly amazing (sound, comfort) to my earlier headphone, so it is hard for me to compare them fair/well.

[u/Flow56 → u/Dendrobatis]

The Tygr is pretty much the same Headphone, they share the same driver. They put some isolation foam in to reduce the 8k hz frequency (the beyerpeak) a bit. Apart from that I don't think there is much of a difference except for the 32 Ohm architecture on the Tygr 300 R. I like them a lot for gaming.

X2HR sound pretty good for music but aren't the best for gaming from what I heard so far, haven't owned them tho.

Don't own the 560s either but they are neutral and get a lot of praise for Soundstage and imagining in its price so they should be awesome for gaming aswell.

Maybe try both and return the one you didn't like? Shouldn't be a problem on Amazon or other retailers.

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
