Those are DT770/880/990 pads if I'm not mistaken, and very possibly not actually Beyerdynamic pads. Between the pads and box both being incorrect, it definitely smells fishy; if it were me I would definitely return these and try again. The 1990s are an incredible headphone, I would not want my first listen to be unpleasant because of a shady pair.

I agree with the above poster. There's something definitely very fishy about those. Not a certified retailer, the wrong pads, and the wrong serial number. I'd return them without hesitation.

Thanks. Reply above. Still trying to figure forums functionality.

Has anybody tried the passive filters from DIY-Audio-Heaven? Either the ones he sells or DIY?

I've read others using it, and it works, but the simpliest solution to the peak issue is to use the newer Amiron Wireless driver foams, with the stitched ring. It does work very well, it even gives a small bass boost, and they're only $7 a pair. Just get the part number from the germany site, and contact sales at BD North America. (Assuming you are US) I posted pics in an earlier part of this thread, and you can see it up above.

Yep, I’m aware of the Amiron Wireless pads. I might be ordering some electronic parts for another project, so figured I might add the few parts for the filters if it’s worth it.
Of course, the advantage of the pads is that I don’t have to wait for myself to finish a DIY project.

Plus they're affordable, and easily removable, so why not try them?

Grab a pair of Dekoni Velour pads if you can find somewhere in your country with a reasonable return policy (just in case they don't suit you). They absolutely turned these into my favorite headphone, I really cannot recommend them strongly enough

*not affiliated* lol

Anyone tried to use this with Qudelix 5k?

 

[spookyshan]

Finalllly ordered my pair of DT1990s and a pair of elite velours. Need to order the amiron foam and will do later today, but ik you gotta do something different for the US site since they aren’t listed. Previously had (almost like a year ago) a T.1 2nd Gen paired with a Valhalla 2 and a Modius. Need to find a <$700 amp/dac now. Have been strongly considering the xDuoo TA-30 (AIO tube amp) But am still looking.

I own both. Anything specific you interested in?

I'm curious if 5k have enough power for this cans to make them play on some decent level? I'm worried that this combo will sound so quiet that i will lose too much of what this HP can bring (Not that they will not play, I'm worried about quality of the sound etc). Is this a thing or should i totally not worry about that?

Qudelix wont be strong enough since the most power comes frome its balanced output and the 1990 is not able to use it

About 375-400mW in 32ohm is ok.but 2x2W is perfect

Yea that would be ok but the qudelix doesn't deliver that with your 1990

Im can drive them to up an uncomfortable level for me with high setting w/o eq preamp. But with preamp its not enough juice.
