Headset - DT 770 PRO
I would like to improve my headphones and was thinking of purchasing one DT 770 PRO (or maybe DT 900 PRO X) since I have often heard good things about it.
Now, since I don't know much about this topic, I wonder which version is better for Hunt ?
I was thinking the 32ohm since I don't want to go crazy with amp or anything else, but is this still good? Is amp mandatory ?

I suggest Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO 250 Ohm
You can purchase Black Edition of those headphones for a little bit more.

DT 900 PRO X is more expensive, and I doubt that for games you will notice the difference.
But if you don't care about price difference, search for comparision.
I know that DT 990 PRO 250 Ohm is for sure worth the purchase.

32 Ohm is for devices like smartphone, or mp3 player.

Here you have a guy asking for an amp, so you can learn more about it.
Anyway, I would go 250 Ohm.

I've got the DT 990 Pro 80 Ohm.
They're .. alright, I think? It's definitely good, the sound quality is very nice, but I don't think I hear 'better' than other players. My mate has some cheap 30€ headset and he often makes plays or calls based on sounds that I don't hear. Although to put the copium aside, I'm pretty sure I just suck when it comes to hearing audio cues in general, regardless of headset.
From pure sound quality, I can definitely recommend it. By far the best out of any headsets / headphones I've tried. I'd imagine the 250 Ohm to just be a straight upgrade, provided you can power them.

I used to use Bayer Dynamics DT-990 pro but they become a bit muddled when theres a lot of different sounds going off, and they're 250 ohm.
Currently using Sennheiser HD 560S and thy're great, low bass but very clean, very accurate
and easy to drive.

amp mandatory but most audio interfaces will do

you need an eq to play hunt as the high pitched screeching might kill you with that headset

But im right: i have lots of friends that cant hear sheet no matter how good their headphones are.
As someone with quite a few sets of headphones and IEMs with extensive experience in Hunt.
I currently recommend IEMs (Truthear Zero Blues/Reds) or indeed the DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm.

The reason I currently prefer IEMs is due to their affordability, comfort (especially during summer) and the fact that the sound is like its inside your head, instead of it going through your ears first.
The 770 Pros are great too but do have quite a bit of clamping force, making it uncomfortable for some to have on for a gaming session.

Im looking into buying them because i've heard they are good for hunt showdown.

do i need a DAC and AMP for this to be good in Hunst showdown?

If you buy the 80 Ohm version, the AMP is not a requirement, in the future you could "upgrade" your audio again by buying an AMP though.

I've got the Team TYGR bundle with the TYGR 300 R headphones and FOX USB microphone.
They're basically retuned 770s that are plug & play.

Dt 770 are awesome for Hunt, perfect positioning ability. With 32 Ohm you don't need an amp or additional sound card - they will work fine with internal audio device.

Buy simple version, you don't need pro or whatever they call it - waste of money.

For versions with more than 32 Ohms (80 or 250) you'll need an amp as the sound might become quieter without it.

I have these astro 30 wireless https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/gaming-audio/a30.html. and when there is more in the same compund i have a hard time tracking where they are.

So guess a DT 770 332 ohms would be better? I dont know anything about headset and sound in general :(

So i really apprciate all your help :)
