​Do you mean that one is gloriously natural, powerful and musical while the other is artificial, destructive and while gets work done, is unavoidably sterile? Which one is which?

One lets greatness be.
The other lets us poke into what goes into the same.

Are the drivers angled?

Are the drivers angled?

 
If it's the same league as the DT-1990 and T90 (which I assume it is) then no. There was certainly no mention in the PR

 

[100VoltTube]

If they were angled they'd probably be making a big deal about it for marketing and all that stuff

Dear Carlos, 
 
Thank you for your email. 
It actually all depends on your application. 
The DT1990 Pro is a real tool for the engineer. It’s engineered for studio/live sound audio engineering use, but great too as an audiophile headphones. The frequency response is not coloured. 
 
The Amiron is a different sound signature. This is for the gentlemen who has a classier taste in life and like his high quality audiophile music at home. It is coloured and designed for home. 
 
Both are great, its just an issue of critical listening or audiophile listening. 
 
I hope this helps, 
 
Regards,
*****

I have no idea what that actually means. Colored in what way I wonder? And do I have to be a classy gentleman to buy the Amiron?!

New Amiron Home. No for trashy ladies.
 
I'm going to ask some suppliers around when they are going to receive the Amiron. I may be able to go to Headphone Festival in Tokio and try them there.

​That's just the usual marketing BS.  All that means is that they will be tuned differently than the DT 1990.  Whether their tuning is "better" or "worse", is of course, for each of us to decide on our own.

May be Amirons will be brighter a.k.a. audiophile sound.

That's very debatable.
 
I would say, Amiron is more likely to be more "fun".

More fun a.k.a more V-shaped? So, again more highs It's only my speculation, we will see what are the differences. I hope dt1990 are better because like there design more.

 

[100VoltTube]

From what I've gathered, these will probably be warmer, not brighter.

 

[SurvivorNVL]

If these can be mid-forward, tight bass, and smoothed highs with a decent soundstage and just enough detail- they'll be winners in my book.

I have a feeling the new avatar of T70p, as and when it comes, with whatever weird name it may come with, might have a more say in the mids and lows department. It might succeed precisely where Sony failed with Z7. It will be the most un-beyer of beyerdynamic - just unheard of.
