[samtheman]

  @PETEREK is the man you want to fix this for you.  He's the best, IMO.

Thank you for the suggestion - I'll send him a PM

Is that a good price for these? How do they stack up against the 880 600 ohms and the T1?

I would gladly pay $399 for T90 and even think they are worth the full asking price $639. Compared to DT 880 T90 have better resolution, detailing and imaging and more "beautiful" tone, imho. The bass of T90 is fuller and more extended. I had these two at the same time a couple of weeks ago. I also compared T90 directly to T1 using my X-Can V3. While T1 technically is a better headphone with a tad larger soundstage and more details I actually prefered T90 for their tonality and "fun". Imaging on T90 felt a tad better too. T90 are, among the best and most likeable headphones I've ever heard and I have heard many, even much more expensive headphones than T90. The problem I have with my T90 is that my other headphones don't get enough head time.

If you like the Beyerdynamic sound IE the DT-XXX the only one better is the T1 and I think the T90s bass is better and has a "fun sound" that the T1 misses (the T1 is better over all just not as fun)

Do you mean that T90 is worse than DT-XXX. I wouldn't agree.

 

[Kozic]

I mean the T90 are better than any DT-XXX and just under the T1.

I totally agree thru T90's are about as good as it gets especially considering how much more others cost....a truly classic...I sold my Audeze and others.... kept the T90s..

pad rolling....
 
I just tried some DT990 pads on my T90's. I also just got a Grado RS2e and tried the stock pads and the Earzonk L cushion pads. Wow, what a difference pads can make! I have some Alpha pads on my DT770's, and the DT770 velours and J$ pads in a drawer. So many combinations! I have to admit that the DT770 pads on the T90 reduce the bass a bit, so I'm going to try the DT770 pads, the J$ (I expect the J$ pads to suck on the T90. 
 
And to make matters worse, I now hear about these Brainwavz Angled Memory Foam Earpads. Ug. Money seems to go in one ear and out the other! 

 

[Allanmarcus]

wow. Just tried the J$ pads on the T90. What a lush, warn sound. Totally different from what I'm used to liking, but I do! Bass heavy stuff like Royals by Lorde has huge impact and is really fun. Hotel California (hell freeze over) is just awesome.Possibly too much a of a good thing though, and I don't anticipate I will keep the leather pads on the T90. Tomorrow (possibly) I'll try to DT770 pads. I also just ordered the Brainwavz pads.

cool it is like changing car tires. do let us know once you have replace the brainwavz pads. and which one the leather or micro fibre?
