DT-990 Pro : Beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro

Nice and wide sounding studio headphones with a reasonable price. Really clear and specific sound. Compared to the closed DT-770 headphones, these lack some of that bass boom (this is a good thing), but boost a little more the higher frequencies (which is something you just have to get used to). The mid frequencies are really sharp and accurate, without being to irritating to your ears. These also feel really comfortable on the ears, no pressure, no pain, no ache. I can sit with these phones on for hours without any problems. Previously I've tried some AKGs (K240, K271), and those began to feel really inconvenient on my ears after an hour or two. Really great or maybe the best choice in this price category for open studio headphones.
