I don't know much about the sound signature of the 600ohm version. To follow up on your points:This is the exact opposite of my DT 880 (600Ω). It is if anything bass light at normal volumes but with elevated treble from 5-10kHz (spike at 8kHz) that makes most music sound bright and some instruments metallic. This is with 1 ply of toilet paper over the drivers. So the only possibilities I can think of are:
1. they're new and still need running in before their FR settles
2. they're defective or fakes
3. the earpads are not the silver ones but black that make them more like DT 990s
4. you're not adjusted to their FR because of listening to other IEMs or earphones
1. Maybe. How long should I give them? What sort of tracks would suit this wear in time?
2. I bought them at a reputable London store, so I doubt they may be fake. Are there fake DT880s?
3. They are the silver velour they came with.
4. My initial and only suspect besides 1. is this...I may have just gotten used to the signature of the other 'phones and that's that.
