Trying them now with FiiO K5 pro and tried Oratory EQ settings, really considering returning. It sounds nice yes but the bass is lacking, feel like bass is extremely important in many genres of music and its dull. Yes it's an open back headphones but I am just curious how to properly enjoy the headphones? Everyone been saying they are endgame headphones

Maxed out volume on FiiO and gain to max too

Any DT 1990 pro owners? What makes you love the headphones? And is the bass dull?

Thanks

Those are mixing headphones foremost. There will be more nuance on the trebble.

Bass will be leaner and generally less forward. Definitely not made for bass.

Yet, you can adjust.

I have the AKG K240 MKii. Their bass is really weak. Applied a low shelf filter at around 150hz, which made the bass a bit stronger. It's not bassy, mind you ... it's stronger.

A big plus is that bass will be more nuanced instead of having the bloat that you're used to with your XM4s. It definitely takes a while to get used to.

Ye will give it a try, maybe closed backs are better for me
