My 2016 DT990s are still going strong.
For me getting quality was about saving money.
I paid $215 for them, got a $50 amp and then haven’t had to worry.
My friends with gaming headsets have gone through 3 or 4 wireless Bluetooth headsets in the interim.
Yeah no kidding, those gaming sets aren’t made to last. I have the PS4 250 million edition wireless headset and it’s garbage. It sits in the box as a psudo collectable now.
I use the 770s pretty much daily now, used to use the 6XXs but needed closed backs for blocking some background noise and just never switched back lol
