PUBG footstep audio: Is the IEM more important or the DAC/amp?
You need soundlock application (i have it on 30%), after that you need an equalizer to boost certain frequencies. TGLTN has a good equalizer settings on his twitch. Peace equalizer is what he uses.Motherboards have different soundcards, some soundcards are very good and you wont notice a difference

Is HD 560S worth it for the first headphone?
I personally don’t like the 560S; it’s unpleasantly treble-y for me AND it’s not a very cohesive tune. It’s hard to pick a volume and stick with it, and I end up riding the volume dial to get the balance I want on individual tracks. I probably wouldn’t grab the 600 as a first headphone; if you can,

I am stuck on the pick...
HD 550 and it's not close. The 599 are fine, and the 560S a bit too bright in the treble and physically pretty uncomfortable on my head. The HD 550 is everything the 560S was supposed to be but fell short on. Comparison here: https://daemonxar.com/2026/05/12/sennheiser-hd-550-review-best-alternative

HD560S as first open backs
The 560S is ... fine. It's a bit too trebly on my head to be comfortable and the overall tuning isn't very cohesive, especially for a Sennheiser. It's also substantially less comfortable physically on my head than most of the 500 series. As a first headphone, it's ... fine. If you can afford it, the

Choose your poison
Yup. My $65 dollar truthear zero reds beat out my Sennheiser 560s in every way other than soundstage.

Headset/Earphone recommendations for a person with psoriasis
I've been using the Sennheiser HD 560S for a few years now. They are lightweight open acoustic and somewhat breathable. It's still bad for my psoriasis but could be worse.

HD560S as first open backs
The 505 just isn't cohesive on my head; individually the bass, mids, and treble are all mostly fine (I even prefer the bass on the 505 slightly; it's marginally cleaner and crisper than the 550s), but the balance between sections is often shaky on my head. On some tracks the main vocals are great bu

Based on the Beyerdynamic here it is how the dt 990 pro models are performing
The measurements taken where L+R and summed. So probably they are also fixing other known issues to give you a better flat response. Same headphones measured a couple of times from different reviewers and still measure same, same but differeeeent. haha Also the values given like oratory1990 does are

HD 560S vs HD 505 for gaming and music?
505 and it's not close. The 505 has a few issues here and there but they're much better tuned than the 560S for my head at least. Full comparison here: https://daemonxar.com/2026/05/30/sennheiser-hd-505-review-meh/#sennheiser-hd-560s
