Display MoreHope you enjoy them. I had a pair of the DT990 Pro for years.
In the end, the Senn HD650 is where I’ve landed for good. I also have a pair of the HD6XX, their Massdrop edition. Comfortable, neutral, but still warm instead of sterile. The highs frequencies are pulled back just enough so that your ears don’t get fatigued (yours ears will get tired with the DT990).
Since it was asked earlier in the thread about closed vs open headphones. Closed headphones obviously have the advantage of blocking outside noise and allowing you to perhaps keep the volume lower in an environment where there’s a lot of background noise. Although I have both, I prefer open backs for one reason, stereo imaging. I love stereo effects in my guitar sounds. Closed headphones sound like I’m listening in a closet, open headphones sound like I’m listening in a big room. That really pairs well with stereo delay and reverb. Definitely a bigger sound.
I’ll also add that I own headphones from as low as 16 and as high as 600 ohms. At the 300-600 mark, you’ll have to turn up the volume a little more. Below that I’ve never had an issue. And my iPhone/iPad can power any of them to comfortable levels.
Thank you! thanks for the info about the headphones. I hope I like them also. to bad they are a little harsh in the highs. I've been playing loud for a long time so maybe the highs wont seem that bad since my hearing is not what it used to be lol. Maybe I will try the HD650 when I get the extra $ again. ill be sure to post back about how the 990's sound once they arrive. Thanks again to everyone for the help. Great forum and people!
