Well, I tried these again and I donāt think theyāre for me lol. Thought maybe with my current setup and a couple years later my ears may had changed a little but thatās not the caseā¦
Iāve had these for a little over 24 hours and I think Iām going to sell lol. Iād return them but to send them back to Thomann in Germany, it would cost $130-$150.
If anyone is interested Iāll have these listed in Buy/Sell for $450 plus free shipping CONUS.

Just not a fan. They come off grainy to me. Just doesnāt agree with my ears. Some like these and thatās good, but itās not for me.

Yeah its due the brightness very grainy reducing the 8k peak in any way eq pads or foam reduces the grain for me amd they sound much cleaner for my hearing

tygr filter is like a mandatory suggestion from me for that damned peak at this point. Maybe a pad swap but the filters are so cheap, theres not much of a reason not to grab some
yes i know i invented the tiger filter swap
eh? Filter swapping to reduce the treble on the beyers has been around for a very long time, itās just now we have a proper filter that works for that instead of putting toilet paper on the driver.

Yes but i come up with the tygr filter
Owning the HD660 and X2HR do you think it makes sense to get the DT1990 for 180 EUR?
For 180 euro its a steal i would buy it its a good addition to the 660

I would think thatās actually a scam and tell you to be very careful and aware as the 1990 is definitely more expensive than that. If itās real without issues than yeah itās a very nice deal. Normally the DT 990 is around 180 while 1990 is above 400
i did the same and would highly suggest oratory1990ās eq for them even just to try it out
I know it sounds impossible. Actually I picked them up from amazon.es on Black friday as an open box, in like new condition. They had a crazy low price on the DT1990 at that time, and they gave another 30% off on open box, so it ended up like that. The other great find was the X2HR for 53 EUR. It was hard to resist. My return window is still open for the DT1990 until the end of Januaryā¦ It tends to grow on me (the DT1990) Iām just struggling with the Beyer peak 
. Iām about to order the Amiron foam discs to tame it. Iāve read good things about them on this thread.

Iāll have to try it I know. The only issue is that I have a Mac, and thereās no Foobar on it, only on PC. Does anyone know a Foobar replacement for Mac?
There is Foobar for Mac. I use it.
Though of late Iāve mostly been running music off my phone, either Foobar or Tidal.

Hi, i bought dt 1990 today, currently my main amp is Asgard 3, but i hear sound degradation in comparison when connecting to mojo. My Allo revolution dac arrived yesterday and i should wait for 7-10 days more to receive custom linear power supply for it. Im planning to use mojo as standalone, and i want second desktop setup to use with allo revolution dac. The question is what good amp to choose for dt 1990? Which will be better than asgard 3. Flux labs is in my list, but it quite expensive for me. Maybe something i can buy 350-500 range for used device?
Have you considered tubes, say a Feliks Echo?..not heard it myself but with higher impedance Beyers itās supposed to work well, Iām sure other members will have other suggestions but might be worth looking at
