![]() ![]() So now I’m back to square one in terms of finding something similar to an HD650 with better bass quality and extension. Still others say the bass is essentially identical. ![]() Some people claim the bass is better defined and extends lower. I’m still thinking about picking up an HD660S, but I read pretty mixed reviews there. It’s pushed LCD-2’s just fine, and I currently have some HD650’s in rotation that do very well with it. Just to clarify, they were powered well- my go-to these days is the Sony PHA-2A which puts out decent juice. I don’t know how people feel about the DT1990 played at low volumes, but for me, they changed dramatically below a certain volume- they felt thin, recessed, muddy, and the bass disappeared. I tried both pads, and while I did like the balanced better, neither was able to solve this issue for me. That alone was basically a deal breaker, but the fact that those treble peaks were now overly-amplified to my ears (and almost painful) clinched it for me. I was only able to get the good stuff out of these cans when I listened to them at a volume that was simply to loud for me. ![]() But here’s the kicker: had I been able to play these cans at the volume I prefer. And the treble, while it can definitely get a little bright and peaky, honestly wasn’t something that would be all that terrible. Vocals are slightly further back then I like them, but just by inches. The mids are slightly forward without being offensive, and not a single detail is lost. They are clear, the bass is well mannered but has some punch and extends very well. I’ve never had to crank anything up to hear it well.įirst off, I heard all the good things people like about these cans. Perhaps it’s a combination of factors- my place has pretty decent sound isolation, I usually listen to my open-backs at night when there is less ambient noise, and I’ve always had pretty good ears. I usually like to listen to music at volumes most people consider low. Unfortunately, after a couple of a days of listening, it’s become clear I am not one of those people, ha ha. I’m stoked these cans work for so many people. Is the 1990 going to be a great gaming/computer headphone or am I better off with a HD 660s because of the lighter weight, and if so, are the HD660s prone to much more sound leakage? The 990s have sort of a perfect sound leaking for me, not enough to annoy my neighbor (somewhat glass-walls where I have my computer). The 990s are really comfortable but I do think they sit a little to loose/casual sometimes. I currently game with a pair of DT 990s (Edition) and I'm looking for an upgrade (not only for gaming, im also planing to use them for music purposes) but a little like a "jack of all trades" I think it is called. I've read that the 1990s are a bit on the heavy side, 370g-ish without the cable, does anyone play FPS/games (for longer sessions) with theese and how is it? I have a hard time understadning people complaining about the weight, for longer session since i've never really felt like any headphones i've tried are really fatiguing my neck/head. ![]() I have a question regarding the DT 1990 Pro as a gaming/casual computer headphone. ![]()
