Very interesting. They sound very complimentary reading from your analysis. And concerning midfi, have you hear anything above the 1000+ dollar range you consider true end game hifi?

I have not. I try to keep this hobby in check and limit purchases to under the $500 mark. Thus my run through midfi.

So the DT1990 is definitely a step up for music production? I just ordered the E-MU Teak for that musical enjoyment and want a professional headphone for production.

Newegg has DT-1990 Pro for $409.99.

Keep in mind though that it is not Newegg selling it. That is a third party seller on there, and not a well known one.

It's Electronics Expo, a well known chain store, and authorized reseller. (at least well known on the East Coast) On reddit, got feedback from several buying who received the current black box edition, and in new condition.

Hi there, I was thinking about this a "side" headphone on my collection, but I don't like the recessed mids... Is the dip on this quite pronounced for vocal music (Gregory Porter) for example?

The mids are recessed a tad on the B pads, and are spot on with the A pads and the Dekoni Elite Velour.

Looks like a mistake on my part then. I have never heard of them before.

Thanks mate, I think they're going to be on my collection quite soon.

I highly recommend the DT1990 to anyone who listens to hard rock and heavy metal music. The headphone just attacks the music and hammers you with an energetic and engaging listening experience. I admit that the DT1990 is a little too bright for me without EQ, but only a bit. Once I put an EQ on it with mild adjustments, it sounds excellent.

This is what I’ve been saying all along about the DT1990’s and metal music . The two go hand in hand!

That's why the DT-1990 are made out of METAL!

I don't know if you are a gamer, but if you are and use the Dt1990 you will be able to hear every single sound with nearly perfect positioning. I hear people hiding in the grass in the Battlefield V if they make the slightest movement. Also connect them to the TV/AV receiver and you are in for a treat with movies. The voices are very clear, the soundstage is great, separation, etc.

I have Battlefield V and soon the DT 1990 Pro. Would you mind telling me the in-game settings, if using VSS, A or B-pads, and EQ settings?

I am have an AE-5, AD900x, HD58X, and Modi3/Magni3. I am hoping the DT1990 pro will improve my experience because I can't pinpoint anything in-game.

The DT1990 is a far better headphone than the AD900X and HD58X. It has precise imaging and excellent detail retrieval. It is a brilliant headphone for music and gaming.

I posted earlier in this thread what EQ I use with the A pads.
