Keeps sounding better and better this 990 pro! btw envy, how much did u buy them for?
Lol, we're doing the opposite. I just placed an order for the DT990/600, which will arrive tomorrow. I will directly compare the two DT990s, though I'm pretty much set on returning the Pros.
Why then, do people say the 990s dosent even come close to the 770? Is there pro THAT big of a diffrence in bass? if what u say is right, it seems like a great basshead phone right?
But nah I won't. I'm stil not buying an open can having more impact than a closed one, especially in the sub-bass.
That's because the DT770 Pro 80 has a MASSIVE sub bass emphasis. It literally runs the show. The DT990/600 has a fantastic amount of sub bass, but is more in line with the rest of the sound.
You can ask RPGWizard. He will tell you the DT770 Pro 80 isn't big on mid bass.
Bought them for $250. $30 more than what I paid last year, but that's fine.
I thought you meant the PREMIUMS. I bought my DT990 Pro for $200 flat. I bought them from the listing that is fulfilled by Amazon, since it has their return policy. The ones for $175 don't have Amazon's return policy.
But wait, it dosent compare? the dt770s? and the 990s arent as good as the 770s? damn.
Quit saying this "is" and "isn't" better than (enter headphone here)?
It's strange to me how many posts you have and how little you seem to know about sound altogether.
Making presumed conclusions whilst blatantly forgetting that sound is subjective isn't going to help you get any closer to your goal.
People are merely describing the characteristics of headphones to let you decide which one best fits your listening preferences.
Nobody is saying A is better than B, they are saying that A has these characteristics and B has these characteristics, and you decide which one has what you are looking for.

No, the DT770 Pro 80 didn't bother me. The sub bass doesn't hurt, but it was too prominent that it swallowed the sound. Not in the way mid bass swallows up mids, but it was too prominent. Bear in mind, it never bothered me in the way the XB500 and DT990 Pro does.
I would say the DT990 Pro has more punchy mid bass than the DT770 Pro 80, while the Pro 80 has slightly more sub bass, and slower decay.
The DT990/600 from memory had a noticeably quicker and better textured bass section, in both sub and mid bass. Less sub bass than the DT770 Pro and DT990 Pro, less mid bass than the DT990 Pro and XB500, but punchier than the DT770 pro.
The way the DT990 Pro does bass unlike any other open headphone. It sounds like a closed headphone in terms of bass. You'd have to hear it to understand.
