Hi all!
I pulled the trigger on a Beyerdynamic DT990 Edition (Premium) 250 Ohm. An online store had a promotion, selling them as the same price as the DT990 Pro 250 Ohm.
I choosed the Edition/Premium version because of the the looser clamping force, as this would be to listen at home, comfortably sitting on my sofa and relaxing.
But I'm having seconds thoughts if I did the right choice.
I want a "fun" headphone, with a nice bass (not Beats level, of course). And the 990's are famous for that. But, most of the time, it's the 990 Pro that people talk about.
In fact, some reviews say that the Edition/Premium 250 Ohm has less bass and more piercing highs due to less clamping force, and the Pro 250 Ohm one has more bass and more controlled highs due to more clamping force.
Now, my questions:
1 - is the amount of bass between the 2 versions (Edirion/Premium vs Pro) really a huge difference, like a night and day one, or a very subtle one (like that you could only tell comparing the two side by side)?
2 - if it's really huge the bass difference, can the Edition/Premium be tuned to sound like the Pro with EQ? If so, has anyone some tips of what frequencies to raise/lower with a software like APO/Pace or Foobar? I read that the DT990's handles EQ very well...
By the way, I’ll be using my iFi Zen DAC with them.
Thanks in advance!
