Right now, I use Steel Series Siberia V2's as my daily edrivers, and also have a pair of Logitech G430's that I don't like and have boxed up on my desk waiting to sell
The modmic 4.0 is only $35 on Massdrop, and I see this as a perfect time to kill my headset for good
My price range I'm looking at is under $300, preferably around $200 or a little over.
I am looking at headphones great for gaming with a decent soundstage, but also I am looking for phones great for Metal as that's all I listen too.
I am eyeing both the DT880's and the DT990's right now, and don't know which to get. Here I can see a graph of their sound curves, and can't decide whether the 990 is too "fun" for me or whether the 880's would be best. I am not a fan of entirely analytical, and want a little bit of fun, but would the 990's bass cover up it's mids or highs?

The DT990's are also only $182 right now, while the 880 is still $250. I am eyeing 250ohm versions of the headphones, so is a DAC amp going to be needed as well, or is my Asus Z97 Pro's Onboard amp going to suffice?
Any cheaper DAC's you'd recommend, I've been eyeing the Fiio E10K's at like $75
