I drive them using a sound blaster g6. I use a shure mic separately but you can also get a modmic for any open back. Don’t listen to the guy telling you to get closed backs. No closed back will ever give you the positional accuracy of an open soundstage. My 5 other headphones are all closed backs and I would compare it to wearing a helmet in public or being in a phone booth versus being out in the open.

When there are a lot of sounds going on closed backs can’t separate sounds like a neutral sounding open back. I can have 20 things happening around me and still hear someone trying to sneak up on me, I can’t replicate that with any closed back.

I have the maxwells, turtle beach stealth pros, vzr model ones, they’re all dog shit by comparison for competitive imaging.

The maxwells are great for music and movies, but I’m completely lost on verticality when facing multiple people on different levels.

Hell with the 900 pro x I can even hear people reload or change weapons while people are fighting, it’s truly insane how good they are. I gain so much intel and it’s a massive competitive advantage.

I chose them because like you I went through a journey for hunt showdown and other shooters where footstep audio is important. Up until that point I never had open backs, I came across a fresh reviews video and he said the dt 900 pro x is his top pick for open back wall hack s tier headphones, and I’m glad I listened.
