My headband on my balanced 1990s (thanks, CustomCans!) has officially been run ragged. Now, I couuuld just get a new stock headband and call it a day, but does anyone happen to know if the Dekoni Headband for the 990/770 series fits the 1990?

They fit, but are less cushioned. I do not prefer them over the stock 990/770 pro headband (the one with the buttons) but I do prefer them over the dt1990/1770 stock head pad (which I really dislike).

Hi I just got my new dt1990 pro. Try to change the pad but it leaves a mark on the earpad itself (the leather part where it meet the headphone pad slot)
I worried it won't last long since I'm changing it continuously for mixing (analytics) and easy listening (balance).
Can we got original replacement for each pad? How much is it? Already contacted CS but haven't responded yet (well, I contact them 3 hours ago lol I should be patient).
I have confirmed that I have A and B pads... The only thing I can think of would be, that my B pads are worn from about 150 hours of usage.
When I get a new pair of pads, that I'll post some new measurements, - but what's funny is, that my A and B pads are the same softness.
Most YouTubers talk about that the A pads are softer then the B pads... But mine always were the same softness. It's just the number of holes in the back that are different.
I ordered 2 pars of balanced pads, - one from Amazon.de and one from Thomann.de
And guess what, they all measure the same as the ones I got with my pair of DT1990.
So the conclusion must be, at Beye has made a silent revision on their pads.
They do still measure different then the A pads, but the difference is nowhere close to what you’ll find at diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/ or Crinacle’s measurements.
Here we have the measurements again.
“DT-1990 L” Left side the balanced pads “DT1990_A-L”Left side with analytical pads “DT1990_D-L” Left side Dekoni pads
As it's plain to see, Deconi has the most bass, followed by the B pads, and then A pads....
Hello! I'm currently running my 1990s directly through my Mac Pro (M1). Was wondering if it's worth it to get an amp/dac? If so, what difference would it bring if I use let's say the Fiio K5 pro? Thanks!

I do the same. Macs have very competent headphone connections. I'd say it's not really worth buying an external amp unless you want tube coloration or like having a physical volume knob or other features.

Okey, I don't have the time to write down the math on this right now, but...:
For the DT1990 you need about 0.140 Volt to get to 90db at 1000 hz. Now seeing as 8000 Hz is about 15db louder then 1000 Hz on the DT1990, you will need something like 0.7 Volt to hit the peaks
Now.. Listening at 90db is loud, if you try listening louder, - say 100db with peaks at 115db, then we start having problems, as most mobile devices only output 1Volt. 8000hz will be hitting at 115db and that needs almost 2 volts...
Soooo, long story short: unless you listen stupid loud, or you are EQing with a preamp set at -10db, you MacBook will be just fine

If I'm not mistaken, Macs do up to 2V and US Lightning dongles do 1V (I think EU ones are 0.5V? Can't remember at the moment). I also happily use my DT 1990 (as well as my HD 650) with my iPhone.
My toddler shrieks at 93 decibels (yes, I measured)... I can't imagine listening to anything at that volume for long.
What?!?! Kinda funny when people forget to read up on headphone sensitivity.
But why! ...That's why all manufacturers tall os what the sensitivity is in dB/V right? To make it easy to compare headphones right??? ( Hope you can feel the sarcasm)
Oh.. and everyone knows ohms law by heart right? And all manufacturers of amp/DACs always tall us how much power their amp has with the same load right??????
FYI:
The DT1990 is 102 dBSPL (1mW/500Hz)...
That calculates to a freaking 108dB at 1 Volt at 500Hz!!!

According to my math, exposure to 108dB shouldn't exceed 2 minutes and 22 seconds before hearing damage.
85dB can cause hearing damage after 8 hours of exposure, and safe exposure time halves with every +3dB (and doubles with every -3dB).
here's my math ('cause everyone loves math!):
t = 480 / (2L - 85/3)
Where
t = maximum noise exposure time (in minutes)
L = noise exposure level
