For years I listened to audio on my DT1990 and DT770, but recently went for the Truthear Zero (Red) as my daily drivers because they just sound "right" to me in a way that the other two don't. Occasionally, I try to go back to the DT1990 but always immediately notice that it sounds... "hollow" is how I would describe it. Amir's and oratory1990's EQ presets do not change this impression. Anyone know what I mean and what to do about it?

I remember always having to adjust Beyerdynamic's sound signature, it never sounded right at first, but I never thought about it. When I put on the first generation T1 for the first time, the sound was so weird (I remember thinking "green tinge all over the sound") that I was utterly disappointed.
