What

Have you adjusted the volume between the two? Because if you use the same volume settings for the 990 as for the hyper x the former will be quieter because it is less efficient.

If that aint it, I don't know what is.

The 990 has EAR PIERCING treble.

I don’t know if it’s manufacturing variation but my DT990s also don’t have super sharp or „ear piercing“ treble and I’m pretty treble sensitive due to my tinnitus. Other headphones make me wince, especially Hifimans seem to consistently pierce my ear drums.

My DT990s are definitely treble forward tho, no question about that.

I‘ve adjusted the volume accordingly and even tweaked the Equalizer but to no avail. I connected the 990s to my phone aswell and watched some movie clips on there, but the same deal… perhaps the headphones are faulty, because I too cannot believe it
