DT-1990 Pro 250 Ohm : very good sound even with an equalizer

5 years ago

Great headphones! they are 'made in Germany' and the quality really speaks for itself. Almost entirely made of metal, looks great and solid construction. You can buy replacemant parts too if something breaks, improving longetivity. The cables are good, there are 2 sets of earpads and the carrying case is a nice bonus.

The clamping force is a bit much for me but will hopefully loosen up after some time (that depends on your head of course).

Sound is ok out of the box but as many are mentioning, it is tuned towards treble which sometimes can be too much depending on the song. However, using software (in my case Peace equalizer APO) i gave it more bass and lowered the mids slightly but kept the treble. That makes it much more comfortable to listen to for me. If you like to EQ your sound, the 1990's can take it and will not disappoint.

In any case, i'm happy with the purchase and will enjoy the headphones for many years.
