You're right, however, the DT990/32's treble is noticeably less peaky than the 600ohms, despite Zombie's statements. I have used the DT990/600 as my main can longer than I'm sure he has, and I'm very well acquainted with their sound. The 32ohm's treble is easier on the ears by quite a stretch. I honestly think that those who didn't like the DT990/600's treble could probably try and like the 32ohm. But hey, what do I know?
In any case, I spent all of tonight A/B-ing the HE400 and DT990, and the HE-400 just consistently wows me with everything I throw at it. I do love the DT990's, and they are great on their own merits, even if the HE-400 is a definite step above overall. Still, I'm re-adjusting to the DT990's fit on my head and whatnot, and I'm finding them more comfortable than I remember. They really are light as a feather, and I dunno about everyone else, but my ears don't get crunched up against the padding. Some of you must have some dumbo sized ears...
h34r: When you put the HE400, then go and put the DT990's on... it's quite a contrast in weight and pad comfort. Those DT990 velours should be a sin. They are too damn soft and lovely, lol.
I feel like I can relax with the DT990 more than the HE400, and use them while laying back, etc.
They're just great all rounders for me, with that extra benefit of being energetic and immediately pleasing for my preferred genres. I really am leaning on keeping them.
My KSC35 is about to be sent out to Koss for repair/replacement. I don't hardly ever use them, but I feel naked without them. It's gonna cost me $9 for the ship/handling back to me, not to mention the cost of shipping it to them. That's probably more than the cost of the KSC75! The lifetime warranty sounds good on paper, but for the KSC75, it's probably best to just buy a new pair. However, the KSC35 was $45, so I guess I better take the hit and get them fixed.
That's one thing I hate about these and the 75s... the eventually get driver rattle. It's happened to both my 75 and 35, and on the same driver. I didn't use the KSC35 THAT much, so I'm convinced that this is a widespread occurrence, as I have heard the same of other KSC75 owners.
Oh, damn it! My E17 came yesterday, but I was working, and they wanted signature confirmation. BOO. So now I have to reschedule the delivery or pick them up in nowhereville, which is bullcrap, as there is a post office right next to my apartments. They're doing this on purpose, I swear. Oh well, I can't really use it until Monday anyways, as my two long days are today and tomorrow, where I have literally an hour or two to wind down before I HAVE to sleep. :rolleyes:
