I recently bought some dt 1990 pro b stock and there good but vocals sound a bit recessed when bass kicks in in certain songs and I just saw the 660s2 for sale on Amazon should I return the dt 1990 pro and get the sennheisers or keep them idk how beyer is on b stock returns would it give me a headache?

Maybe try using EQ to the DT1990 before buying a new headphone?

You've paid serious money for this one and if you like their look and feel, why not try to make them sound pleasing?

Here are suggested setting for Analytic Earpads and Balanced Earpads.

If you're new to the concept of parametric equalization or Harman Target, look it up. It's really worth it.

Treble doesn’t bother me to much I use the a pads the b pads sounded more recessed to me the headphones I used before were the hd 560s

Definitely give EQ a try. I tweak my T5's only slightly in mid and it makes them perfect.

Oratory 1990 surely has some settings you can try, or you can just adjust yourself in the frequency ranges.

In my experience, switching to another headphone will just mean something else to be unhappy with.

female or male vocals?

the Sennheisers definitely have a ton less bass, but the female vocals are also less clear..

if it's about male vocals, then yeah, the Sennheisers might be a bit more neutral.

Mostly female vocals I have the hd 560s and tbh they sound clear on the vocals not sure if it’s just the way the headphones are or I got a defective pair
