What one Redditor said

DT1990 Pro MKII are definitely better than the originals, but to my ears they are still fatiguing after hours of listening, they aren't bad tho, i really like them for video editing

I bought some DT1990s years ago from Amazon (refurbished.) They sounded like ass--zero bass and very bright treble. They did IMAGE really good (especially for footsteps.)

900 pro x ... are 50 to 60% of 1990.

Absolute dog shit in some songs, bass is great it's actually amazing when the right songs comes But the treble is so bad , u wanna see how bad the treble is try some radio head songs. I couldn't finis

You clearly already enjoy a more treble-focused presentation with the DT 1990 Pro too

I have DT1990 MKI’s (and like 20 other headphones of all types) and one thing I do with them is use upgraded (Dekoni Hybrid) pads, with an EQ from Oratory 1990 and they are like a whole different (muc

I have the DT1990 MKII and T5.3 as well as the HD 6XX and 660S2. I can’t say the Sennheiser’s are better, just different, same with the Beyer’s. The Beyer’s have a more fun sound signature and can rea

Nobody really tackled the question of whether the old 1990 may be better than the new one, so I guess I'm going to have to buy the old one, compare them for myself and sell the one I like the least.

r/sennheiserpositive1

I’ve never used the 490 pro but I have the dt1990 pro. I would not buy new headphones based on tuning alone because the 1990s are exceptionally responsive to EQ.

r/HeadphoneAdviceneutral2

The Pro X series doesn't really have anything to do with the DT1770/1990, they're kind of a new take on the original DT series that's easier to drive and has a removable cable. They would probably be
