Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone
Oct 31, 2018 at 10:36 PM Post #2,146 of 4,782
I had a friend over tonight to show off my DT 1990 and Asgard 2 headphone system. He loved the amp and liked the headphones but preferred the plummier sound of his Audeze LCD-2. OK, I thought, he'll like the Balanced pads. I removed the Analytic pads and installed the first Balanced pad after after wrestling with it for 5 minutes. I could not get the second Balanced pad installed before he left. Talk about embarrassing. I preferred the DT 1990 to the Audeze, but really Beyer, is this the best you can do for replacing ear cups?

Maybe you have big hands, I slightly raise the rubber seal to get it started on the notch then I keep it as flush as possible when I'm turning it slowly,I make sure the notch is closest to me so I can watch the seal going onto the frame, I find it quite easy now

I'm so glad I picked one of those up before they stopped making them. It's a great unit! UDP 205 to rag to DT1990 :)

Nice!, bet the 1990's sound fantastic through it, not at all jealous :wink:
Mate they destroy the Utopia through the 2 qute and trilogy 933,this absolutely annihilates it, I would tell anyone to buy this dac and save on the most expensive headphones unless money isn't a problem,I enjoyed my beyerdynamic Dt 1990 through my oppo 205 but this changes these headphones into something else, mind blowing
