I believe you.
I find mine for the DT1990 pretty much necessary.
EQ might be more ideal if available, Iām agnostic about that.
It did completely eradicate the Beyer peaks lol, so it does work as intended at least lol. If only Beyer could figure out how to do that themselves

I donāt think it ruined the sound in other respects either. Solderdudeās recommendation of pad swap and filter for this headphone seems pretty much right to me.
Implementing an additional method to drain out the treble? That would be a smart move on beyer considering how good they tend to sound honestly. I would definitely pick it up as an accessory
I mean just in the tuning aspect, make it so the peaks didnāt cause issues in the first place
It seems with the Tygr and MMCX (?) gaming headsets thatās largely not an issue so maybe what tuning ideas will be moving up to their higher tier stack
I mean personally I have no issues with any of their current lineup, Iām not bothered by the beyer signature and treble peaks at all if you have the proper amp (very important). I just know that some are. The tygr and mmx are def outliers in terms of beyer treble though
Iāve been trying to find the right amp for my T1s to deal with the sharpness. The micro idsd blacklabel gets me almost there. But it needs a bit more.
Yeah generally my preference for the t1.2 is a tube for sure
Enjoying the 880/770 600 ohms on the HA75 (hybrid), and almost as much on the iHA-6. Not sure how the treble peaks compare to the 1990 or T1, though.
I mean, yeah you could do that lol. Not sure if it would destroy the sound though
I will try just waiting for my iec711 i want to measure it with and without these are the pads used by the tygr also
You mean the foam piece? they are indeed which is what I think actually gives it that very warm presence to itā¦ Let me know how it works out for you though as that makes me very curious
Yes its just the foam piece looks very nice its like a fabric they use these days for sports wear it a bit thicker padded in the middle
Beyer them self said
Even the sound is optimized for an ultimate wearing comfort. The integrated acoustic-fleece prevents fatigue due to sharp heights, since it levels the high frequencies without any loss of detail
The open-back design and innovative acoustic-fleece emphasize the spatial sound environment. The result is a perfectly balanced sound
Hey guys, so hereās something extremely neat. If your a gamer using this as your competitive headphone this little jack https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CTTH00C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#customerReviews right here? Works to convert your dt 1990 into a 3.5mm therefore allowing access to the V-moda Boom Pro or the Beyerdynamic Custom microphone. Neat little tidbit I found despite it saying its for akg. Note it does descend the v moda a bit low but nothing a little minor mic sensitive tweak wont fix. The mic can spin around just like it can with a shp9500ā¦ shouldnāt be an issue though

Hey,
do you have any follow up on how the foam piece (Schaumstoffscheiben) impacted the sound of the 1999?
Would be really interesting what the mod does to the 1990.

Still waiting for the iec711 it should come this week
Maybe i just give them a listen before the iec comes and tell how it sounds i wanted to measure it stock and than with the new pieces i didnt want to open the ring more then ones
Did the iec711 ever arrive? Iām really curious to see how the sound is impacted by the acoustic fleece.
Hi guys, a while ago I bought a pair of defective DT1990 drivers hoping that I could revive and transplant them into a DT990. However, what I found was that both of the super thin wires that lead to the driverās coil are soldered onto the same solder pad, which obviously wonāt allow them to work.
Could someone who has experience with those drivers shed some light on the whole thing?
How could that mistake happen during production?
Is it supposed to be like that and Iām just missing something?
Is there a way to fix it? (I have experience with soldering and access to a fine solder tip, however, those super thin wires are a nightmare to work on)
