Hey sorry, haven't checked the forums in a while and actually got my 2 pads yesterday, had a chance to try them both for a while, but I'm still testing.
I bought the XL MicroSuede (link- 110mm) and the normal sized Hybrids (link- 100mm) from Brainwavz and they didnt change the sound "THAT" bad, they do seal your ear so that would narrow the soundstage a bit but not that much dw.
As of sound, both raise the bass a bit and actually bring down the highs a bit to tame that treble ( you can always EQ )
As of comfort, XL microsuede are 10/10 imo, they are big and puffy so watchout for that clamp but you ear swims in there since they're 110mm and it has a bit of space to move from left to right where as the hybrids are a little smaller and have a "fixed" position with very little play for the ear.
As of fit, the small hybrids are hard to get on but they fit perfectly where as the XL stay a bit large but you can "lock" them putting the rubber slip under the headphone's pad rotation thingy ( I can send pics if you want ) and dont worry they wont fall out.
Which one would I get ? As of now I can't tell you, still trying them both but I'll for sure be using one of these 2 since I can't live with the stock pads sadly (memory foam baby!).
I played Valorant yesterday with the XL microsuede and it was good, did not notice any soundstage or imaging ( mind with me I'm not an expert with these terms ) difference and was able to pinpoint enemies (still having troubles differentiating the front and the back, but thats just me getting used to Stereo sound, always used 7.1 surround yikes), I'll try to play with the hybrids today and will doing so for a week between  these 2 pads and will end up returning whichever I don't join.
Ask whatever you want! I'm here to help since you actually cant find many dt990s pads posts sadly, they all just say "changing the pads will destroy the sound, just change headphones" but these puppies are amazing for their price (i got them for 118€)

airy generally means a bit more treble focus less bass more treble basically

Alright, tyvm buddy, will be ordering the brainwavz XL velour on monday, hopefully they'll be good without changing the sound too much, but I'll take that for the prefect price of 118€ as my first headphones, will probably sound better than my old g430 even with thirdparties pads.
