770 pro is very meh to me. I would rather get DT 880 if it were me. Many say tuning is wonky cause of the closed back. 880s are $149 on Amazon I believe which is honestly a bargain because they are essentially the kings of imaging.

i may be pushing it but i was thinking something near 100$

At that price, I’d just recommend picking up whatever sounds good to you. Apparently the better Koss phones are decent at imaging, but I can only imagine how uncomfortable they might get. Are you playing single player or comp?

comp. mostly cod tournaments and wagers. i dont care much about mic tbh i dont need an amazing mic. i mostly care about the build quality and sound

Yeah comp FPS will greatly benefit from DT 880. It’s a little more money, but I’d really just recommend saving to get them. If you don’t have an amp in your setup already, then you can step down to TYGR as everyone else had mentioned cause they’re much easier to drive. However, DT 770 is basically going to be on par with something like the Hyperx cloud II and I’ve seen some say they actually prefer cloud II.

If you really can’t wait then check audio forums or marketplaces to see if they have a used DT 880, TYGR, or even DT 990 but you probably won’t like the sound sig on that one. I wouldn’t buy any other “gaming” headset besides cloud II if you really want to move that direction. I can tell you first hand something actually considered an “audiophile” headphone will wipe the floor with all of those “gaming” headphones any day of the week.

Cloud II is based off DT 770 so it is at least very comfy and durable with similar but different sound

for 60 bucks?? no way

Yeah it’s probably one of the best gaming headsets. I rocked one way before HD6XX and Sundara and it was very good for that $60 price.

Yes. I’ve tried a lot of “gaming” headset and cloud II are probably the best all around. Sooooo comfy too. Great mic as well. Better than a lot of other headsets. It’s just a solid package. Thinking about it right now though, I think DT 770 has more treble and mid and a bit clearer too which may help for footsteps and such. That’s the only thing I would knock on the Hyperx. Bloated upper bass and not really any energy in highs.
