Beyerdynamic Amiron Home (the new T90)

While I hope that's true, I'm sure you won't blame me for disbelieving until I hear it.

Yes, sir, seeing ain't no believing in HeadFi. What we see is movies. What sees us is music.

Have you heard the DT1990 Pro yet? I think that headphone gives us a pretty good indication of where Beyer is headed sound wise. Hopefully the Amiron is at least equal to the 1990 or even a small step ahead of it. I'd be totally happy if the Amiron is a DT1990 with R/L connectors.

Had and got rid of the DT 1770. Loved the build, comfort, design, accessories, and that's it. Little round treble murder boxes.

That is so weird to me. Compared to the Elear and HD800S, I found that the 1770 has treble that is a bit too smoothed over, with a touch too much boominess in the bass, but it still quite nice sounding for the price.

  Hey Mike.  Which pads do you prefer on the DT 1990?

 
The "balanced" pads (pre-installed). You?
 

  they look like McIntosh MHP1000

 
I'm waiting for an open-back McIntosh. I love my MHP1000.

Like the Edition Version of the 1990.

880 pro for studio
880 edition for home hifi

Maybe soon dt1770 edition

Just got confirmation that the cables for T1.2 and T5p2 are compatible with the Amiron, so the balanced cable will work.

Hope to be able to get a demo piece soon. A DT1990 with less clamping force would be nice, and this might be just that I guess.

Yeah just like Edition . Who the f.._ buys a pro for listening they are for working.

"Warm, intoxicating sound with live atmosphere"
 
I suppose they will not be aimed at T70-fans then... This is a totally new direction from beyerdynamic. When did they ever make a warm sounding headphone before?

Who cares what they're designed for... the 1770s (and therefore I presume the 1990s) sound great and are very comfortable, so why would anyone think "oh no, these are only for mixing desks so I'd better not wear them anywhere else"?! If the headband is too tight, just stretch it out a bit, et voila!.

Maybe "warm" is all relative. After all, "warm" in northern Germany in October is not actually considered very warm by a lot of people elsewhere. So perhaps they're "teutonic warm"!

Pro = wired cable sucks, clamping force, optic.

Because war is todays favourite of Mainstream not bright and Weak Bass .

Erm, get a new cable (it uses a standard mini-XLR) and stretch the headband a bit? Hardly deal killers IMO. Not sure what "optic' means but I assume looks, which I've never understood as a reason to buy headphoens since you can;t see them on your head! I would hardly call the Amiron especially "attractive". It just looks pretty much like every other Beyer headphone IMO -- a variation on exactly the same theme. Meanwhile, I kinda like the all-black stealth look of my 1770s

Doesn't Amiron look like this, only not-oval?



I totally love all-black 1770 look.

 

[wordfool]

No, it looks just like all the other Beyer headphones (same headband, yoke etc.), except the back of the earcup looks slightly different... actually a little cheap and plasticky looking IMO -- see image in the OP

 

[Mad Max]

What ugly-looking padding.

Beyers definitely aren't for you.
