DT-1990 Pro 250 Ohm : Very Good Studio Headphones

I bought these for both audio production and casual listening,

I'm using them with a scarlett solo 2nd gen and no dedicated amp, i get enough amount of volume between 1 and 3 o'clock.

So i would say amp reccomended but not required, for a 250 Ohms hp they're reasonably easy to drive.

Pros:

- incredibly detailed and balanced bass and mids

- accentuated treble*

- fantastic imaging and instrument separation

- good soundstage

- built like an absolute tank

- good amount of accessories (semi-hard case, 2 cables, 2 sets of pads)

Cons:

- accentuated treble*

- slightly heavy

- changing pads can be troublesome

* The treble in this hp can be both a good and a bad thing depending on your use.

For pro use is great as it will help you to produce music that is not fatiguing to the hears.

For casual listening is not ideal, while it does sound fantastic and open, in long listening sessions it might cause hear fatigue. But at the end you can always tame the treble with EQ.

Overall I can reccomend this hp to most people, i would only avoid them if you're very treble sensitive and/or listen mainly to poorly mastered music.
