It's been over a month since I bought my Dt990Pros.
Setup -> FLACs -> M-Audio 24/96 -> Objective2 Amp -> DT990Pro
It's my second pair of headphones, I had ath-m40fs before. Before purchasing, I compared them with the DT770Pro 250ohm.
I can tell that for Open headphones, the bass is crazy. Goes low, you feel the impact on your ears but yet smooth. I didn't know what was soundstage before listening to these headphones. Instrument separation is very nice and game positioning is awesome. The only thing I can note about these headphones is the detail. Listening to a basic 240p video on youtube will make your ears bleed if there's any hissing in background. There's a slight bump in the 8Khz+. Eq it down 1-2dB and its fixed.
They sound way better than the DT770Pro. Perhaps because they are open ? The ATH-m40fs is purely mids and no bass, good for playing guitar with. I cannot play guitar with the dt990Pros because of the distortion noise.
What sounds best on these headphones:
Pink Floyd
Acoustic guitar / Folk
DubStep
Rap
Pop
Punk
What sounds average on these headphones:
Poorly mastered music.
Metal -> Can be harsh in the treble, depending on the recording.
These are amazing headphones, will keep for years. Very comfortable, coiled cable is a plus for me, can't roll over the cable with my chair
