I think there needs to be the distinction made between 'bright', and 'sibilant'. Yes, I would agree that the 1990's are quite 'bright', with a prominence in the higher-range frequencies, but they are not in themselves sibilant. If you're finding the 1990's sibilant, then this indicates issues with your source/amplification.Disclaimer: New to Head Fi, but I felt compelled to make an account and give my option about the Dt 1990 with the B Pads.
The Bass has the right amount and weight. More present than my Hd 600.
I really can’t describe mids well enough, I’m very used to Hd 600 mids, but they sounded fairly similar.
But the real reason I’m here is to describe the highs. They are incredibly bright. So much so that I loved them at first. Then the pain started setting in. And I started to heart the sibilance.
In my opinion, the dt 1990 are perfect for people who love treble. I guess I’m not one of them.
But I agree that the 1990's aren't for everyone, and they do have a 'spike' in the upper-range frequencies.
