DT-990 Pro : Price to Accuracy? 3 thumbs up!

The Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO are slightly better critical listening headphones than its brother DT 770 PRO, thanks to its open-back design. I had 770 for a long time and now finally I got this gem in my hand. Both headphones are similarly built and are comfortable. They are practically the same headphones, but the 990 are open and the 770 are closed-backs.

For me 990 appear to be more consistent in term of frequency response every time I re-positioned (the 990) and re-play the same test track.

About the accuracy, the easiest way to express this is like when I'm driving and it's raining LIGHTLY, so the windshield with wipers off is 770 and windshield with wipers on is 990.

Pros? Open back.

Cons? Open back.

Happy ears = happy mood
