Yeah I've been using the amp for a while with the 58x and 4xx. I'm ready to take that next step up I just wasn't sure if this amp would really be enough for the 1990s.
Ludacris I do it for hip hop.Give me a track to play @IcebergSimpson
Without listening ill tell you it sounds terribleLudacris I do it for hip hop.

The former. I expanded that post.
I have the 4xx. They give more bass than the 1990 out of the box with enough juice. How do you find them with the Atom?Gotcha. Yeah I've seen reviews on them. I have my he4xx for bass if I need it but I'd imagine those are just as good or better in that department with one of the two pads it comes with.

Their pretty amazing for the price and work great with the amp. Just the right amount of bass/energy and detail to really enjoy the music. My 58x are great too especially with mid/vocals and decent bass. I was hoping for the 1990 to be a mix of both.Where the 1990s excel are in the detail.

Very nice. Well I have 2 options right now, either buy it new for $600 or ebay them for probably $500 but I feel if I'm getting this premium of a headset I'm not sure how I feel about buying it used for x amount of months. If it was amazon I'd feel better due to how easy it is to return but not ebay. Guess you can count of them to have some level of burn in though so that's not bad.You'll like them but unless they are on a good deal, I'm not sure how much more you'll get. Mine were amazon warehouse so couldn't say no!

Yea I've heard that before for sure. Cant seem to find a used pair anywhere else and I'm in the states so I might have to go full price but with theI wouldn't want to misquote him but I think @solderdude said neither the 1770 or 1990 were worth full price. I suppose it depends what you're coming from or might otherwise do with the money. You're in the states? so euro cans are dear. I paid £300 which feels about right . $600US way more than that
I think you'd be better-served EQ'ing the HE4XX to a Harman target. HE4XX has low enough distortion to handle a nice bass boost and JDS Atom has plenty of headroom to drive them, even with -7dB preamp for PEQ.

cans I'm coming from it should be a pretty good jump.
I haven't tried EQ'ing any of my headsets yet, is this supposed to make a big difference?
Definitely! Try AutoEQ and Oratory1990 (two separate camps, first flatter, 2nd Harmon curve) with APO software. I also would recommend some crossfeed as it is what our brains expect to happen naturally with any source of the sound....

I had in mind Oratory1990 thread on reddit, as its his main page. AutoEq implements it a bit differently. Oratory1990 only provides pdf with measurement and how to set it up correctly.
