Although the DT 1990 have an open insulation, I have read that they are not as open as e.g. an open one from Hifiman. Could someone confirm or not confirm this for me ;)
This is important to me because I will also use them for gaming and I speak loudly when I can't hear myself well. Thank you

Accepted Answer

I don't use them for gaming, but I can hear my voice very clearly if the audio volume is not too high.

Answer

I have now bought the Amiron Home because I like to use my KH balanced. That's why I prefer them to the DT1990s. Regarding the isolation, I find them rather half open (the Amiron), so I continue to use my Sundara's for gaming ;)
