WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO 250 ohm

What it brings

Replaceable velour ear pads and a headband pad are listed as spare parts, so the wearing parts can be renewed rather than replacing the headphones.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
The single-sided coiled cable ends in a gold-plated 3.5 mm plug with a 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) adapter, and beyerdynamic says the single-sided cable makes the headphones easier to handle when they are constantly put on and taken off.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

What to check

At 250 ohms nominal impedance, phones and laptop outputs may not drive it to a comfortable level; beyerdynamic also lists an 80-ohm version (718173) of the same model.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
The open-back design lets sound in and out, and there is no microphone, so it is unsuited to noisy places, recording next to a microphone or calls.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
The cable is fixed rather than detachable: beyerdynamic states that its classic DT models, including the DT 990 PRO, have fixed cables, whereas its PRO X models come with detachable cables.
Manufacturer source

Beyerdynamic TYGR 300 R

What it brings

At 32 ohms with a rated 96 dB SPL at 1 mW, beyerdynamic says it works on PC and on PS5 and Xbox Series X through the controller jack.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
Its rated headband pressure is 2.9 N, and the velour ear pads and headband pad are listed as replacement parts.
Manufacturer source

What to check

It has no microphone, so voice chat needs a separate microphone; beyerdynamic designed it for gaming in a quiet environment, and says outside noise is virtually unattenuated.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
The 1.6 m cable is fixed, and beyerdynamic notes that maximum volume depends on the connected platform's sound card.
