The best way I can describe the sound of my DT 1990 pro A pads is, "like a better version of my SR80i"

solved; thank you!

What eq do you use for yours?

Thanks! I'll try quickly sliding the side up and down a few times when I get home from work this evening.

Okay, so replying to my own post. I made progress, pretty settled on an eq or two I really like. Almost there, but I still want some more bass (best part of this headphone imo, makes music so much fun). What's the recommended frequency to add the bass shelf at? Also, for my graph, is that dip...

Thank you - they're both so good!

Agreed. Lcdx sounded better to me for the majority of songs I demoed, which were all metal/rock/edm. I'd imagine clear is better for more other genres

I should also note the clear mg still sounded absolutely amazing. Lcdx just sounded a bit better.

The place I went to demo actually didn't have the clear og, but had the clear mg instead. After demoing a few of the same songs on both (alternating back and forth between them), lcdx sounded overall better to me. At that point I was comfortable making my decision. Sure, it wasn't the og...

That is true. I really like the stock tonality and different EQs definitely sound better on some genres than others (and tracks within them, etc). Overall, I love the stock tonality but find it could definitely benefit from at least some extra bass. It's so punchy, lush, and nice

Got my FR graph this morning. How does mine compare to most? I've found a few good EQs so far but I still can't seem to get set on something. Stock sounds really good too but I feel like it can definitely be improved with the right EQ that I haven't quite got there yet. Any ideas?

This EQ... WOW!

Went over today and demoed everything, spent nearly two hours doing Clear vs LCD-X comparisons. They were really close, but I went LCD-X. Thanks everyone for the help!

I want something thats better than 1990, but also has a different enough sound to justify getting the upgrade

Of course Beyer would have a reasoning for that with all their treble 😝

Thanks. So, "2021 revision" is technically a late 2020 revision?

About to demo an LCD-X today, really interested in it. Anyone know how I could confirm whether a pair is the 2021 revision without having to take it apart?

Sadly, it isn't, but I've got a few hours to be there. Used a half day of vacation today so I can get done around noon-12:30 est and can be there by 2. They close at 6.

I've used all my headphones with stock in the past, didn't like 1990 eq'd, but I'd be willing to use it if I got lcd-x

HD800 really has my eye, but isn't the frequency response similar to that of a Grado? I used an SR80i for ten years and liked it, but the lack of bass got really annoying at times.
