DT-990 Pro : Great, but need tweaking for comfortable listening

5 years ago

Use cases: Gaming, listening to different music genres, watching videos

The good:

- Build quality. It feels rugged for the most part, except the connection between the headband and the drivers.

- Replacement parts are super easy to find and readily available.

- The sound is, after tweaking EQ a bit, wonderful

- Comfortable, although not for too long in my experience. The head band starts to hurt my head after a while, just like the Edition version of these headphones did.

- Very nice soundstage. Not too wide, but everything can be pinpointed perfectly, whether it's enemies in games or elements in music/videos.

The bad:

- Non-detachable cable. The cable feels very sturdy though, but I like being able to switch between coiled/straight cables.

- The highs were so sharp they started to hurt my ears while listening. This can be reduced by tweaking the EQ a bit, but this is my main reason for returning them.
