Headphoneus Supremus
yea so i have the old 990 pros, just got them brand new a few weeks ago. now i heard all these glowing reviews and comments about how their bass is amazing. but, what i noticed was that its bass was just right, any lower and i'd call it anemic. maybe i'm just used to subwoofers. when i turn the bass up on the my sound card the 990s(running through a gv5) distort the bass if it's at high volumes and if the bass is deep. before you say it's my sound card, i know what source distortion sounds like on my audigy 4 and using the gv5 fixed that. that was a different matter. this is just...well the 990s producing blown up, cracking bass whenever i play a song at high volumes at high bass settings. if it's a rap song, i don't even have to turn the bass up much, and the bass starts to distort at high volumes (but still listenable volume). for normal listening, the bass quantity on the 990s is acceptable, but sometimes i want that extra oomph and i feel the 990s can't handle it because the bass starts blowing up.
i'm happy with everything else, the highs, midrange, soundstage (my fav aspect of this phone) and bass quality and depth, but the quantity is sometimes lacking for me. again i'm used to my logitech z560 subwoofer for rap. i'm not sure if any headphone could remedy this. but i just want to hear your thoughts about this and also would like to know the bassiest can i could get without compromising the other features of the 990 i mentioned above.
super fi.5 ebs? or is there a way to help the 990s. i think i have about 40 hours of burn in on the 990s so far.
