Hi folks, today I received my DT990/600 which I bought as a way to ease the pain of selling my T1's. I couldn't resist the sale prices available at a few well known retailers. At this price, I knew I could try them out guilt free.
I'll hold off on reviewing them fully until I spend more time (and burn-in) with them, but already, straight out of the box, these things are very impressive! While they can't compete with the T1 in terms of accuracy and full spectrum performance, they sure do provide a tremendously fun sound and terrific value when you consider they cost 1/4 of a T1 (or 1/5 at the new T1 price).
Right off the bat some things stand out:
Comfort, light and comfy with perfect clamping.
Single sided cable, thin and light weight. (opposite to the "garden hose full of water" on the T1 )
Rich meaty sound with a nice sparkle to balance out the deep bass.
I don't notice any recessed mids as described by some posts.
So why isn't there more chatter on the forums about these phones? At the price they should be a hot topic in my opinion. I did a search and most threads are quite old and refer to the previous generation, pre-600 ohm.
Am I the only guy who thinks these are a sleeper hit?
