Which pads are the best for classical music? Beyerdynamic balanced, analytical or Dekoni (which one in the Dekoni's range, Hybrid, Velour?)?

I preferred the Analytical for classical and acoustic music. Balanced for rock or big badaboom tunes. On acoustic instruments the boosted upper bass of the Balanced pads sounds unnaturally unbalanced.
I'm now using Dekoni Velour with a foam backing ring similar to the Analytical pads to cover some of the venting. The Dekoni Velour tames the 8k peak a bit, but have slightly warmer low mids and far more comfortable than the Analytical pads. The Goldilocks option for me.

Agreed, I use the Velours on my set too.

I have Dekoni Elite Velour pads. They're comfy alright, but they suck the life out of the music. PRaT killers.

I also compared the two. I didn't love the Amiron, it had a way of being beautiful with one song and then sounding soft and hot at the same time with many others. Amiron also doesn't work for anything rock related since it's so soft. There's little energy behind it. Some will love this, I didn't. Super comfy and light though

Is it $350 better than the 770's? I have the DT 770 Pro and am curious about the DT 1990 Pro
