Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO // DT 1990 PRO MK II -- Impressions Thread

[x7007]

I've never had serious issues with hairs in my Beyerdynamics. On a couple rare occasions there has been rattling that I've attributed to hairs, but I have managed to pull them out as they have been stuck in the white paper that covers the driver. Sometimes it's difficult to spot the hairs, though.

for me they went inside everytime. because it was crappy protector at first for the 2 first times then it happened with the new ones also.. it so costly, takes long time, I need my friend to solder a new speakers for me everytime. I can't pull the hair from the sticky thing, it passes this white thing it passes everything, why it doesn't happen with other headphones only beyerdynamic.... i am sick of it.. I ruined the speaker trying to pull the har, I can't see them all, they so tiny. and this sticky thing like glue bubble or something so weak, you can ruin it so easy and the speaker ia kaput.. why do I need to clean my headphones, never in my life I needed to do that with any other headphones.

Don't think the DT 1770, DT 1990, and Amiron Home have that issue, they changed the front dampening on them compared to the older Beyers I believe one focus was to prevent hair from passing through. Don't think the T1.2 has the hair issue either.

Awesome thanks for the info.

I've never had a hair problem in any of my Beyer headphones, but then again if you look at my user name it's not really that surprising.

If I have DT990 , is the 1990 DT would be any better ? The MOST IMPORTANT thing, is that do the DT1990 have the HAIR issue ?? I already replaced 4 speakers on my 2 DT990 Headphones,, It's driving me insane. I like the quality so much I can't even think on other headphones. but this HAIR issue ruins my headphones every time ! my friend help me with the soldering of the headphones and it's perfect job , but hair comes every time .. now it happened again. I'm using a fresh headphones that we fixed and I put 2 Protectors so it will cover everything !! , I tried to fix by myself the speaker which had hair and I ruined it just today .

I just something perfect. I will send beyerdynamic message about this thing so they do something for me after I bought 4-5 speakers just to fix this damned issue over and over again.

I haven't heard of anyone that I know with the DT990 having problems with hair in the driver, mine are about 3 years old and I've never cleaned them but did check today and it still looks like new, aside from the dual mini-XLR jacks that I installed so I can use cables from my LCD series.

I had the hair issue with my two DT 770s (80 and 32ohm). Everything fine with DT 1990 since october 2016.

I received a set of these recently and I am having trouble figuring out why more people are not talking about these. They sound amazing.

Exactly. I got to demo them last month with the Chord Mojo and the ifi BL and they sounded amazing on both.

They only cost about $500. They'd need to cost at least double that in order to get a lot of head-fiers interested.

Thats the sad truth....

I'm definitely interested in the 1990's I'll be getting a pair soon..

How are the mids on 1990s compared to HD 600s? I am a fan of female vocals (e.g. Adele, Norah Jones etc.). This is one thing I am not yet clear about the 1990s.

You will not regret it! It is a brilliant headphone in many ways.

Has anyone done a mod to add dual mini-xlr jacks on the DT1990? A friend asked me if its possible since I did the dual mini-XLR jack mod for her DT770 and T1g1
