Don't know anything about that specific headphone or those pads, but I did look into 6ave a little while ago. I don't remember if they seemed like a scam or if they just seemed like an unreliable seller. Anyway, I remember thinking I wouldn't want to buy from them. If I were you, I'd look for a bargain on the DT 1990 and purchase the 990 pads separately. If you want to try your hand with 6ave, you could contact them and ask which pads they come with.

They sell them on hhgregg as well. Yes the 6ave seems shady but it is listed as a authorized beyerdynamic dealer. I am just curious is someone have seen this or have them. I will call 6ave later to confirm. Thank you.

Hi guys. Changing the subject. Has anyone seen this dt1990?
https://www.amazon.com/Beyerdynamic...Earpads-SPECIAL/dp/B082DKMQ3J/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?
It a special edition from 6ave. It seems to come with silver velour. If anyone have this models let us know. If it comes with 3 pads (A-pads,B-pads and silver pads). I think the silver pads should be the ones used in the dt990, how would they sound with the dt1990?

The ad says grey and black pads.

If you look at the back of the 990 pads they're quite ported compared to the 1990's analytical with 4 ports and balanced pads with 21 ports. Maybe they would sound a bit more balanced and open?

dt1990 with dt990 pads sounded to me pretty much the same like the A pads, but quality of the material of dt990 pads is a bit lower in my opinion.
Out of all the stock pads, I like dt1990 with t1 pads the most (EDT T1V). Sounds to me like A pads with a tiny bit more bass.

Decided to switch pads from Balanced to Anaytical, and I punched up Oratotory1990's EQ, since I recreated it in EQ APO's .txt format, and I tweaked the left shelf (adjusted it to 100Hz from 90Hz, and raised the Q rating up a smidgen, and realized this was the sound signature I was looking for. I am a very happy camper. Bonus points for being the more comfy pad too.

In case anyone wants the file, and use a -4dB PreEQ according to source:

Without reading through the very long threads about DT1990 (with its different pads) and about the T1 (2nd generation), what are the salient differences between the two?
Soundwise?
Where are the frequency response curves for this? Also for the A & B versions (1) of the DT1990.

EDT 1990 A a pair of ear pads for a neutral sound (included in the delivery)
EDT 1990 B a pair of ear pads for a sound with a slight bass boost (included in the delivery)

Both are useless

https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews does the T1 and the 1990. They also show a comparison between the A and B pads in a YouTube video but it's compensated using their in-house target curve. Here's a screen grab:

I've posted this in the T1.2 thread too.
The T1.2 and 1990's do sound very different, and have very different sound signatures.
The 1990's have a typically 'V' shaped sound signature, with slightly recessed mids and a bit of an upper treble 'spike'. The bass is deep and expansive.
In comparison, the T1.2's have a slightly forward upper-mid profile, with slightly less sub-bass than the 1990's. The treble is also a little less pronounced.
On initial listening, the 1990's are the 'easier' listen IMO. They sound great with most genres, and really excel with rock & pop etc, i.e. something with a great bassline.
I have always thought that the T1.2's are a bit like 'marmite'. You'll either love 'em, or you'll hate 'em. On initial listening, they sound a little boxy and 'strange' compared to the 1990's. It's to do with their upper-mid emphasis. However, feed them things like vocal jazz and classical, and they excel.
I think that both sets of cans have different uses, and that's why I have both. However, if I had to choose and just keep one set, it would be the 1990's. They're just more versatile. Saying that, I'd miss my T1.2's if I didn't have them.

No sir, you're not alone in this. I prefer the B pads - full stop.

Ditto! I also much prefer the B pads over the A pads.

Been debating on what microphone to add to my DT-1990. I already have a V-Moda Boom Pro, and was considering getting a mini-XLR to 3.5mm stereo adapter. After looking for one, I only found 1 maker, and they want $22 for it:

I also read some feedback stating that using it can cause a minor sound change, so I decided against this option. I instead opted to get an Antilon Uni Modmic. I figure I can snake the 7' cable through my coiled cable to manage the 2nd cord. It will be arriving tomorrow. This way I can opt to use any cable for my DT-1990.

How's the sibilance? Same as the 880 Pro?

Hi,

I suggested to buy the 1990 to a good friend of mine and He Is very impressed by the sound! He had many hi-end headphones (including lcd3) and He absolutely thinks the 1990 keep up with the bests.

Anyway, he bought also Dekoni Hybrid velour (the one suggested on diyaudioheaven) and found they are more sibilant than the A-pads.

I brought my DT 1990 to the Toronto Audiofest and compared with the big names and high priced headphones. I agree with your friend about how they compete.

I also agree about the Elite Velour pads being more sibilant. I have to wonder if DIYHeaven listens or just measures.
