Just got my first somewhat high-end headphones - the DT1990 Pro and Oh. My. God. (alien.top)

Was so afraid of all those complains about the highs, cause I don't like overemphasized highs, but there's no problem at all - it's perfect, pristine. Bass is decent. Absolutely love them. I've been goosebumping, while testing them on songs I know pretty well for the past half an hour and I've heard things I've never heard before.

10/10

Enjoy it :D.

I just replaced my ten year old Shure SRH940 which gave me the same experience with the Hifiman Sundara.

Hey have do ya get a “crack” sound when swiveling the earcup left or right on the slider

The spicy treble turned me away from the DT 1990 but it’s good that it doesn’t bother you. They are better than the DT 990 for the detachable cable and probably a few other upgrades.

I picked focal elegia over yours and hate them so much!

Those are really good. The ugly side is that to upgrade to something which is clearly better, you need to spend a lot ;) I'm sure you will stick to them for a while.

i have the 990s as well and still remember the first time using them. i was completely blown away. like everyone else has stated here that you really do hear things in songs that you never heard before. its crazy.
