DT990 Replacement

So I've been using the Beyerdynamic DT990 250ohm editions for almost 4 years now and loved them. After probably thousands of hours of use, the right ear is starting to go. Think I probably got my money's worth...

 

As a result, I'm back in the market for a new set of headphones. Hopefully you guys could recommend something?

 

I enjoy open back headphones (as open as possible!), and a fairly flat frequency response. Budget isn't too much of an issue, nor is the impedance.

 

Should I just get the same again, seems as I enjoyed them so much, or are there any good upgrades that come to mind? 

 

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

The Sennheiser HD598 or HD600 might be a decent upgrade if you're looking to try something different. You'll find they are lighter than the Beyerdynamic's DT series.

I would not call the hd 598 a upgrade they are more a sidestep.

 

OP you could go higher up in the beyerdynamic models and look at the t 90.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

The AKG 7xx's have been my daily driver, as of late, and I've grown quite fond of them.
