Selling a Beyerdynamic DT250 80ohm headphone. Good condition with minor wear, earpads in good shape, the headband pleather has come off but the foam is intact. My heatware: https://www.heatware.com/u/98636/to

I got the Amiron foam set up, sounds great and improves transparency a bit. This is the perfect DT1990 now to me, with the loose clamp headband, elite velour and amiron foam. Now I have this, a DT990 with A pads, and a DT770 with B pads, and new leather headband pads on both. I like how you can...

They forwarded me to Consolidated Sound Services (service@consolidatedsoundservices.com), who have the parts. They charge $10 for shipping so I might get some other beyer parts from them too. I also gave the B pads another try (with the looser clamp), and they are more comfortable now but still...

I did this headband swap. The looser headband from the DTxx0 Edition is exactly the same shape, just less rigid. The DT1990 feels perfect now and I can wear it for hours with no trouble. I use the Elite Velour pads but might give the B pads another try, which I previously found uncomfortable due...

I haven't tried it but it's supposed to sound quite different. I want the 1990's sound signature without the clamp. I have a spare looser headband from a an old broken DT770, so maybe I'll try it on the DT1990.

Has anyone tried replacing the DT1990's headband with this one: https://north-america.beyerdynamic.com/catalog/product/view/id/3976/ I'm noticing that my DT990 with DT1990 pads is super comfortable, better than the DT1990 with Elite Velour pads. The main difference is the looser clamp.

The 990 is polarizing because of its treble but it's ideal for electronic music and games. The 32 ohm one can sound good from any source and I use it as a travel/office headphone. The 1990 sounds better but needs an amp and is more suitable for home listening.

I got the A pads on the DT990 after quite a bit of effort. The plastic lips are larger than the DT990's stock pads and they cannot just be stretched on. I used a blow dryer and slid a screwdriver underneath the lip to slowly get it on. They sound great and tame the DT990's treble spike while...

I've been using the DT1990 as my daily driver for a while now. The Elite Velour pads are well worth it, somewhere in between the A and B pads sound wise, and far better than either one in terms of comfort. They are less rigid and negate the DT1990's clamp. They have the soundstage of the A pads...

I like V-shaped a sound for what I listen to (electronic/game music) but still prefer the analytical pads, and just use eq with them. The B pads have nice bass but have a reduced soundstage and almost sound like a closed headphone. They might be better for some specific things but it's a lot of...

I did this for several hours. I also switched it a wider setting for the cups than I had on the DT990, and pulled the headband apart a bit as described here. The last step especially improves it quite a bit, although it has be done carefully. I'm finding the clamp more comfortable now and can...

Yes, these are really good for the prices they are going for these days. After a few days use though, I'm still finding the clamp to be tight coming from the DT990, which can barely be felt on your head. The DT1990 sounds really good, but I have to keep opening up the cups after a hour or so or...

I just got a DT1990 ($450 for a Beach Camera deal with stand/case) and A20 amplifier ($200 used) to upgrade from a DT990 32ohm. I use it mostly for games and electronic music from games, and run it out of an X-Fi sound card. I like the DT990 a lot and wanted something with the same type of...

I'll look at the deals there. How do the DT1990 and Amiron compare to the T1.1, which is more of a flagship but is older? From what I'm reading, it seems the DT1990 sound signature is closer to the DT990 but it's tighter/heavier than the T1. I have my own office so open headphones should be fine.

I'm certainly open to other companies. I'm just familiar with the DT990 and like the Beyer "house sound" for what I listen to. It is definitely bright, but sounds great after equalization and I much prefer that over darker or neutral headphones.
