What are the best replacement ear pads for the DT990 Pro?
I'm wondering if I should drop the $45 CAD on the new, official velour pads. Or maybe you have some other suggestions. I tried washing the original pads but they are still gross. Cheers!- Syndicat3

Aune T1 OR Objective2 for DT990 Pros...which is smarter?
There's the deal for the Aune T1 and from what I've read, it's a nice dac/amp for these headphones so long as a get a different bulb. But really, it's not a great deal after the duties and taxes, and shipping to Canada. It will easily come to $160-$190 CAD. Up until tomorrow I can still cancel...- Syndicat3

DT 990 Pros & Aune T1: A good pairing?
Is this a good choice for these headphones? I'm hoping this DAC/Amp combo is a step up from something like the FiiO E17. I like that I can pick out different tubes to influence the sound.- Syndicat3

MDR-XB500s... mind blowing bass? Not really..
I just opened these and started listening to a bunch of genres: hard electro-house, some brostep, rap, etc. The bass isn't rattling my ears. Did I just overhype these? Maybe I need to play around with the EQ? Because out of the box, I don't hear bass that shakes my ears. I doubt...- Syndicat3
