Nice review. I've always thought the T90 was the successor to the DT990 and that beyerdynamic would release a T80 to compliment the DT880. It seems I am wrong with that assumption. Anywho, I love my DT990. The treble can be very high for some, and sometimes I feel it to be that case, but as you say, the sound of a headphone is dependent on the source.

According to their site the T90 is an open headphone so it would be the successor to the 990 as the numbering implies. I still expect to see a semi-open T80 eventually.

I really like them. Just started reading the fifth book.
And yeah, at first I do not expect it to sound like DT880 at all. Maybe something a lot like DT990 or something completely new (IMO T70 is very different to DT770) but the more I listen to them the more similar they sound.

WIN (Click to show)Still waiting for my Gungnir to ship, but this photo makes me regret losing patience on sourcing a NAD M51 and settling for the Schiit instead. Damn.

If it's maxed you paid damn near what a BHSE costs. Rough.
EDIT: Though it does look great.

As for my first impression it's like my SR-009 became something like SR-011... is this enough for the answer to your question?
