Mine are looking like dog crap m8-wear em in the bath.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The increases you made in the lower treble surprises me a bit. I think that might make my ears bleed a bit - assuming you're using the stock pads and no mods.I tried the EQ settings with the Harman target setting, but I did not like the result, in the end I tweaked everything to my taste in the usual graphic equalizer. the sound became very saturated, but pleasant.

It would be interesting to see the frequency response of these headphones with such parameters. does anyone have this possibility?
when setting up, for the most part, I relied on this track
and my idea of how it should sound.

We all hear differently, subjectively and objectively (HRTF). My original HD-580 (over 20 years old, but with all new pads, and measured to confirm they perform to original specification), sound a bit bright to me, as most headphones do. But only a bit bright, close to neutral. My EQ leaves the mids & treble alone and only corrects their bass attenuation: a low shelf of gradual slope, starting at 100 Hz and reaching +6 dB by 20 Hz.The increases you made in the lower treble surprises me a bit.

it was just convenient, guitars use a wide range of frequencies and you can immediately hear if you change something.What an awesome track for audio evaluations, you're a man of great taste
I agree with you about the bass in the headphones.Perceptually, this EQ is too subtle to entirely correct their bass response to neutral, but it does lift it enough to help. It also makes them sound a bit less bright overall. A big enough bass boost to correct them to neutral makes the bass sound slow and bloated, with distortion that also leaks into the mids. No thanks.
This should tell you all you need to know about disassembling the HD6XX family of phones:

The Dekoni Elite Velour pads are a most for the DT1990 even with fabric over the driver (I do the same thing with black felt in the inside of the pads similar to what DCA does with their tuning pads). Its a great technically performing phone. Congrats!Sold my 58X a few weeks ago. Just couldn't get enough treble out of it, even with the front foam completely removed. I listen to classical/orchestral exclusively, a genre that seems to require a lot more treble than Sennheiser are prepared to supply. (Just type in "Best headphones for Classical" and you'll see all the brightest phones on the market listed). In the event I've moved to the Beyer DT990, and with a circlet of microfibre cloth over the driver I believe I've found my nirvana. I've been in the headphone game a loooong time and this is the best I've ever heard.
