DT-990 Edition 250 Ohm : Best value for your money

There is no other headphone in this price range with this level of accuracy. Should you wonder if your money may be better spent elsewhere: Stop. It wouldn't.

It's slightly bass heavy, its clarity at higher frequencies can sound a bit harsh, and it doesn't deal well with "f*ck this day"-level of sound pressure, but unless you're willing to fork out way more cash, you're not gonna find anything "better".

Should you be wondering if the DT-1990 is worth the upgrade: Depends. Its main advantage is its tolerance of higher input levels. According to physical comparisons, it's slightly more accurate, but the difference escapes my ears at least. But within the price range of the DT-1990, there are other cans deserving serious consideration. At the cost of the DT-990, there is no equal.
