DT-990 Pro : Excellent for it's price point.

Note: I am a newbie to the headphone community, so this purchase was my first actual headphones that don't sound crap.

I was in the market for new headphones since I wanted to move away from the "gaming" headphones due to the horrible sound quality and marketing gimmick like RGB which is sure nice for aesthetics but the price mark up doesn't justify it at all.

Anyways these headphones are surprisingly easy to drive. Currently not using an amp and they sound loud at 100% volume although I plan to get an amp in the future.

I mostly use these headphones for serious music listening and gaming. I haven't fully tested how this headphone performs during gaming sessions but wow it performs amazing while listening to music, you can hear the instrument separation and the clarity is amazing for it's price.

Pros for me:

- Really comfortable

- Amazing sound

- Easy to drive without an amp despite it being 250 ohms (YMMV but since I have a high-end motherboard it can apparently "drive up to 1000 ohms")

- Open back design. I was originally going to buy the DT 770 Pros but I saw that the 990 and 770 are priced the same so I wanted to check out how open back headphones perform.

- Quality. Headphone is built to last.

Cons for me:

- Cable isn't detachable. Not really an issue honestly but it would be nice to have custom cables to fit your setup.

- Bad for my wallet. Buying this headphone will lead me to buy another one (currently looking at the DT 1990 now).
