DT900 Pro X is in.
From my listening impressions it seems as if the DT900 Pro X is a more laid back DT 990 Pro 250ohm, with less of a V shaped response.
The highs in the 6-8k region seem to be tamed down a little bit, (not a lot) to a more comfortable level for most folks. - Maybe 1-3db down vs the DT 990 Pro?
The overall sound signature is less of a V shape like the DT990 Pro 250ohm. I noticed if I EQ the low-mids down in the 300-800hz range the headphone starts to sound similar to the DT990 Pro 250ohm, except with a little less 8k ear pain as I said above. So you can expect mids that are a little more flattened.
Bass texture is much improved over the older DT990 models, certainly digs deeper, less distortion. - Yes it still has that dynamic punch to it.
Imaging seems to be a little odd, there seems to be a small gap of sound that is missing. It's almost like trying to put two of the same poles on a magnet together. - The imaging just can't quite connect, but it is close.
Sound stage is on par with the DT 990 Pro 250ohm, not the widest you can find, but wide enough.
The clamp is a bit tight on these, I anticipate when pads break-in that will be less of an issue.
I have the headphones almost at the largest head settings, those of you with giant heads might have issues. - My head is medium/large sized
Weight is definitely not an issue, fairly light still, not LCD-4 weight.
These headphones feel more like a semi-open back, than fully open. There is a fair bit of isolation to outside noise. Those of you who have tried the DC Aeon Open can expect those levels of isolation.
You guys can come to your own conclusions, these are just some of my thoughts after listening. Cheers!
