I own a pair of DT 990's pro for about 2 years now and every 3-4 months the earpads become really thin from the pressure (I have a large head).
They become so thin that when I replace the earpads my music suddenly sounds much better and airy again (could be my imagination, but I doubt it).
I have to add that I'm wearing these headphones for 12-15 hours a day, every day.
But still though... My friend owns a DT 770 pro and he has never changed his earpads a single time and they still have the exact same shape as if they were new ... His head is much smaller than mine, but he's also wearing them for 12+ hours a day.
Is it possible that the DT770 earpads are simply made up of "stronger", less flexible material (cause of the isolation and all), and therefor remain in original shape much longer?
What would happen to my sound signature of my DT990's if I put DT770-earpads on them?
And are there any tips for increasing the lifetime of the DT990-earpads?
