Considering getting the UA Ox for the many uses it has, including the headphone jack. Right now my main drivers for my PC are Beyerdynamic DT-990 250ohms Premium which I love, but would something like this be best suited if you were looking for an accurate sound out of that headphone port of the Ox? The way I've routed my DT-990 cables under the desk makes it impossible to just plug and unplugged them when I want to so this will require a 2nd headphone purchase.
Prior to the DT-990's I was using the Sennheiser hd598 which were absolutely revolting - worst headphones I've ever tried in my life.... The bass was lacking so bad it actually hurt to listen to some songs reasonable volume. A friend of mine bought a pair and ran into the same issue. Not to mention, every other aspect of those cans were inferior to the DT990's in every way.
Now I know my Beyerdynamic's are supposed to be the "fun" headphones with maybe a bit more bass than something that would be described as neutral, but they're the only really decent set of cans I've tried (minus the horrific Sennheisers). So ultimately I have no idea where these things stand on accuracy due to my limited experience. If there's too much inherit low end in something like the DT-990's, please feel free to suggest something else, or if another set of DT-990's is something you'd consider feel free to suggest that too. I just don't want to run into the same issue I had with the HD598's where I purchased based off the fact that it was supposed to be a "neutral" sound, when that lack of low end was anything but neutral. Also any suggestions on open back vs closed back for this kind application would also be great. Any help is much appreciated.
