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

[trickyRoadsDummyTOOL]

I took the dt 1990 as new without warranty for 310 euros, but the problem hasn't reoccurred, let's hope for the best.
Are there examples of dt 1990 that are less sibilant than the others in your opinion?

Do not know if there is a difference between different units of 1990s regarding sibilance nor do I remember reading about it, may be very small differences exist. wantan's quotation above about sonarworks' claim comes to my mind. at beyer they told me back then, cause may be a loosend cable, so I was just unlucky this time. My conclusion would be only to react, if it reoccurred playing the same track or after heavy shaking. I hope you remain lucky!

I think the models have changed a bit over time. But I could be mistaken.

mine isn’t with the mod I did

why don't you use the mod you did earlier?
maybe you went back to analytical pads?

no you must have mistaken what I meant.

I’ve done the mod to my balanced pads and love it.
no going back to the analytical pads.
only the older ones which are less bright and better quality than the newer analytical pads.

hope that answers your question.

did you see the mod I did a few pages back to the balanced pads?


cheers

 

[cirodts]

yes yes, I'll try it this afternoon

 

[Nkam]

yes yes, I'll try it this afternoon

it has to be thick tape like Duct tape though.

thin tape doesn’t do the same thing for whatever reason

 

[cirodts]

I don't have thick tape, for now I can't do it, what improvements does your mod bring to the sound?

well hopefully you live in the US.
even if you don’t.
Duct tape can be found anywhere.

it’s the larger soundstage of the balanced pads but the nice large analytical mids

you have to hear it , it’s harder to explain. Much better than the Dekoni elite pads I have. not even close
way better

 

[cirodts]

the problem is not the duct tape but the thick duct tape, however I tried it and today I'm running the mod.

and ?
what do you think?

does it kinda look like my silly pic of the mod?


lol

 

[cirodts]

made the mod, I had to eq the first three bass bands to -3 but now I really like the sound and I actually feel the mids more present and articulated.

 

[cirodts]

Just a curiosity, have you heard any audio differences between the normal and spiral cable?

I find it really interesting when my son watches YouTubers play certain video games, the majority of them wear these. Love seeing it, but you would think they would wear gaming headphones

I too have seen several YTubers w/ the 1990s. Call me petty, but I tend to subscribe more often to these YTubers who clearly have good taste in headphones
