Beyerdynamic DT 1990 is an over-ear headphone. This measured profile applies 10 parametric bands with a -6.0 dB preamp to bring it toward the Harman target. Low end: it adds back what the measurement shows is missing; treble: it reins in what the measurement shows is too much. Biggest single move: -7.6 dB at 10000 Hz (High shelf).
