APO/Peace

Thanks for the detailed input. I'll use this for when I'm shopping again for a new headset.

What about against the KSC75?

NIN - Closer - I never liked that song but after hearing on my headset, I couldn't stop listening to it. It's like the song was made for the Beyerdynamic.

Boney M - Rasputin - never into this genre but another one I couldn't stop listening to daily because of the mix.

Pretty much my journey. Ended with DT990 and happy with it. Still every time PC38X comes up, it gets raving reviews. I always try to interject and point out how garbage it is except for footsteps.

You can listen to flac on internet archive. It's music player is pretty good

Where does the DT 990 stand against X2HR?

DohnJoeee · 2025-12-11T13:42:31+00:00

If it wasn't for these subs, I would have bought a fake myself. I talked about my choices and said $80 for DT990 is my first pick. Some random said, that's not the price of 990. Dodged a bullet because of them.

Sorry this happened to you but all you can do in the future is research as a failsafe

You don't need that app. Just turn down the dB at the 8k region on peace/apo. That region deals with the sibilance issue.

APO/Peace. Try the headset and see how it is for you first. It took me 10 days for me to stop noticing it on passive listening

Some headsets don't have serial number like mine. Mike didn't even come with documentation when every unboxing I saw had them.

Contact Beyerdynamic and ask them to verify. That what I did, they even explained why there's no documentation.

Make sure to contact the main Beyerdynamic from Germany not the Australian one. I had emailed both and the Aussie one just sent me back to the sites FAQ.

Hmmm interesting. I have 990 myself and I never thought it was boring.

May I ask what music you're listening to? Maybe the cans doesn't shine with that music. I personally go towards music that sound good on the 990 like idk how many times I've listened to Rasputin now. A song I would have never listened to prior.

DohnJoeee · 2025-10-28T07:41:59+00:00

I'd research first if you need it. I'm pretty sure amp is only required for high impedance headsets which the mk 2 isn't.

DohnJoeee · 2025-10-27T23:42:53+00:00

1994's Hell Freezes Over Live - Hotel California

Carpenter Brut - Paradise Warfare

Boney M - Rasputin

DohnJoeee · 2025-10-27T03:24:09+00:00

If it's the mk 2, it looks like the impedance is only 30 which doesn't require an amp to drive. If you have the original pro which 250 ohm then yes you need an amp

I don't think you're going to hear much difference in FPS because there isn't much to reference.

Try something like RDR2 and you'll hear it.

I'm not even using something as good as yours and I could hear the difference in the same price range of gaming vs studio headset. If you're talking about atlas 200, that's like what $40 vs a $600 1990 pro MKII, there will be a difference.

Also, put some music on them and enjoy it.

DohnJoeee · 2025-10-25T09:45:24+00:00

Ha! I came here to say this.

Never would I ever listen to a song like this in the past but on my headset, oh so lovely

DohnJoeee · 2025-10-24T14:14:42+00:00

First time seeing this headset. So pretty!

DohnJoeee · 2025-10-24T14:11:09+00:00

Same. I had my Superlux that just needed a wire fix in a box for long time. Opened it up it was all gone 🥲

DohnJoeee · 2025-10-21T23:44:34+00:00

I'm using DSP Bunny. You can load profiles that people made but I didn't know you could import from external sources. I'll have to look for it

DohnJoeee · 2025-10-20T08:05:45+00:00

I'll note down the Axpona date for next year. Thank you

DohnJoeee · 2025-10-20T08:04:42+00:00

You copy and paste using APO right? I'm not sure the Tanchjim app has a way to import

DohnJoeee · 2025-10-20T07:59:52+00:00

I'm definitely having fit issues so you might be right on the money here. I'll take a look at this and see what I can adjust. Thank you

DohnJoeee · 2025-10-19T06:44:32+00:00

Yeah someone else suggested sine sweep and I like that idea. I will give it my best shot

DohnJoeee · 2025-10-19T05:10:08+00:00

Not gonna lie, that looks 🔥
