    I'm a 55 year old audiophile. I've had my DT1990s for a few days now (sold my Focal Clears which cost twice the price) and absolutely love them. The slight treble brightness isn't an issue at my age. I also prefer the looks and single cable entry, it doesn't feel so restrictive. Works beautifully straight out of my Iphone 13.

    I can see the allure of the Amiron as a great all-around crowd pleaser, with enough detail to satisfy most people but also enough girth in the bass to create a silky-smooth richly-pleasant listening experience. That said, I crave the DT-1990s I sold off. I wasn't a huge fan of bright treble till those cans showed me what I was missing. Even with the HD800 and its fantastic soundstage and detail, I felt there was a spank and a sizzle in the DT-1990 I just didn't hear in most other headphones.

    Josh…I was so in love with the T1 when I first heard the 1st gen years ago. I owned the DT-880 and loved them. Now having enough money, I was going to buy the 3 gen until I saw your review. I’ve checked and 2nd gen are rare and triple the price new…so now, following your advice, I’m torn between these two….I’ll also be buying the Arya based on your advice though again only the Stealth is now available. I may have to buy both…because I have a very eclectic taste….

    Thanks a lot!!! you saved me a lot of time as I was actually in the fix as which one of these 2 would give me better performance in classical music and instruments. I was already a fan of DT1990 pro but was wondering if I am missing something and if Amiron could be a better alternative - your detailed comparison helped me understand the differences better. As I will be using DT1990 PRO with my Galaxy Note10 plus to use Hires services like Primephonic & Spotify (sometimes YT Music), so I selected Earmen TR-Amp to drive it. Is it right or can you suggest me some other alternative(s)? Thanks in advance ☺

    When you said the names of the pads and you followed it up by saying "Their terms, not mine." I was happy because i just got these headphones and I have to say that I prefer the balanced pads for mixing over the analytical ones. I am mixing Hip-Hop with these and the Balanced pads leave in the bass frequencies so that I can interprete them fully. They sound more like a "normal" pair of headphones that way without leaving the detail out of the music.

    since the DT 1990 Pro are only 429€ currently here in Germany i want them badly....would my current amp/DAC be enough for them, or would the headphones not sound nearly as good as they could? i mean only transition-wise...i plan on getting a better amp/DAC in the future but it will take time until i have enough money for it....

    For me, the Amiron takes it. I watch movies, play games, and listen to a wide range of music. I’m not s pro, audio is a hobby for me. And I want to love my music, not pick it apart. I also prefer having a cable entry into both cups, it distributes weight better and is less jarring if you get snagged.
    What I don’t like is the same price for crappy accessories. A second pair of pads should be standard, even if they’re the same ones. I don’t mind the cable so much as I always make or buy my own.
    Really, really appreciate the comparison thanks man. You’ve made my decision for me.

      It basically means if the high notes coming from a headphone are too loud or shrill, it causes pain in your ears. People have different tolerances to this. For example, some people don’t enjoy the DT1990 because the treble notes are just a bit too much.

    The DT1900's are going for £50 cheaper, than the Amiron home, in the U.K right now, so I think I might go with them. Build and feel are almost just as important to me as the sound and the 1990's appear to be what I'm looking for - mostly metal build and tight clamp. Music and movies is intended use.

    After watching this review, I bought the amiron home because I found an used one on ebay for $280,00. I enjoy the headphone overall but it's laid back and I don't like the bass response. The bass is slow and not punchy at all. I still prefer my Beyer DT880 over the amiron home. Can anyone tell me if the DT1990 has a "punchy" and well defined bass compared to the amiron home?

    • @onenonlymee1278
      @onenonlymee1278 2 роки тому +1

      Yes I have them both, DT1990 is more punchier/ sharper more clean sounding - its more fratiguing as well- for me I like the sound of Dt1999 for about an hour or two then you have to take them off not as complicated as Amorim’s, and you get a ringing zing to your ears that you need to take a break from- so 1990s analytical take on/off critical listening, Amiron are fun, relaxing enjoying- an can listen for hours not discomfort to the head or ears. Ones for relaxing the other is for work- or referencing sounds.
      This is what they are intended for- hence the names.

    Will try to compare them to the Sennheiser 660S2 though, if I find a shop offering both.

    • @Leonhart_93
      @Leonhart_93 5 років тому +2

      Yeah well, it's a trade off. If the soundstage is bigger, then the sound will be more 'diffused, like light spreading off instead of being focalized. So you get a wider image (which makes it sound more realistic) but you sacrifice some detail. Kinda like when you are too far away, you don't hear the minute details.
      I have HD 600 and Akg K712 and they are exact opposites. Akg has very wide soundstage but overall I prefer HD 600 because I get the most details (which is what I am looking for the most).

    I scored a pair of Amirons, fully functional yet missing a cable, for only about $260 altogether. I LOVE the detail. However these don't grab enough for my head. It feels like they are hovering over your ears just barely touching them like a psychopath monkey just waiting to twist your head off. I stuck an old HD-650 headband in between the yoke fasteners (?) and it slotted right in no destructive modification required. That improved the clamp enough and now they float on your head without just uncomfortably hovering over it.
    Then, no kidding, I tried the Samson SR850 pads on this sucker and they fit loose but they don't come off. I cut some holes in the back kind of like the regular Amiron pads have, and I feel like I'm missing a tiny bit of detail/resolution but to my ears now they don't sound so dull. Because to me the 650 is an exciting headphone because of the upper midrange (???) peak. Someone called it a hard sounding upper midrange, that's what makes them alive to me.
    Amirons are just a bunch of hidden detail with a whoomp for the bass and it's bland as crap to me, I want them to be brighter.
    I'm about to get some 1990s because they seem like what I want the Amirons to be.
    Edit: Dekoni Elite Velours. My goodness they fixed the fit, they keep ALL of the detail of the Amirons, make them a little brighter and give the bass more texture, and now my headphones have a massive soundstage like I've never heard in a headphone before, yet it still sounds close and personal enough to hear. More fatiguing, but I also enjoy the way these sound so much more than I do with stock pads. Truly feels like an HD-650 upgrade now.

    Amiron Home would probably get my dollar over the DT-1990?
    Bass reach and impact is important. Especially, if it's a "bright" headphone!
    My cash actually ended up going to AT-MSR7B. Fast, engaging, clear with good bass impact and extension! All for only $250 USD!
    My goal is a pair of Stax L-700 Mk2! Once I justify the $1,569+!?
    Until then my Grado RS2e are king!
    The DT-1990 is a beautiful headphone, in an industrial design sense. I tried it several times, at 2 different CanJam's NYC and couldn't quite pull my wallet out for them? Possibly on a "Black Friday" sale? For $600 they lack excitement. All the while appearing to be just too sterile overall for my liking.

      Amiron gets treble heavy in above normal volumes (specially at anywhere near 80db) and for me my right ear touched the inside of the headphone making them uncomfortable in an hour of usage. Besides that I think they sounded great, nice big soundstage, instruments have weight to them, the build is fantastic, but I ultimately ended up with the HD 650 which I am enjoying a lot more, because of the comfort (my ears touch the insides of the cups but I do not experience any discomfort let alone pain like I did with the Amirons) and they can go loud without having piercing treble. And while not having the biggest soundstage or the biggest sound the 650 sound full, that is kind of what the sennheiser sound signature is, it sounds like you are not missing any of the music or whatever you are listening to, even though the bass is not big it is deep and at the same time does not overtake any other ranges because of that.

      They are far from the best at any price range. If you just have 990 then they sound great, but as soon as you have something to compare it to they fall apart quickly, they are too bright and lack any warmth, they are thin sounding compared to any other hifi brand headphones. Instruments lack body and ultimately is quite far from realistic sounding. Sennheiser 500 line even though they will lack detail that 990 have they will still be more pleasant to listen to. If you want high quality then go for Sennheiser 600 line or AD1000X or 2000 or akg 700 line. 990 are only regarded highly by people who haven't tried anything but cheap before.

I also had a Sen HD598 and I didn't like it, especially the EAR feature. On the other hand I tried a Fidelio X2 which as absolutely awesome on all points, until I get the DT 990, built is less good than the fidelio but it sounds better. I like the brightness, it's a great polyvalenxe for games and electronic music, it sounds really open with a large scene, maybe not the largest but great enough for games and movies. What I mean is that for 135 bucks, those DT990 fits me far better than some products that are even more expensive. I take it as my main now and I'm trying to get my hands on higher end products to see if it is really worth spending so much into headphones.

      The 1990, 1770, and Amiron do indeed share the same driver, and it’s trickle down from the T1. The 1990 is it’s most pure application, if you pull the headphone apart, there’s no damping whatsoever.

      Yeah you're probably right, I just thought the 770 also had the same driver once I knew that and also knowing the higher end ones I mentioned shares the same drivers too. There is a slight change between pro and premiums the way their casings are built will definitely have an effect on the sound, also the 990's opening kinda has parts slanting down which will effect the sound in a small form.
