beyerdynamic DT-1990 Pro 250 Ohm 4-stars Reviews

Clean clean clean.

The DT 1990 pro. The build is stunning. Sturdy, heavy in appearance but not on the head. Impressions are that this will last for years. Metal, leather and the light use of

plastic. These are a work of art and a very nice blend of form and function.

The comfort is just as well thought out. Hours is use, it doesn't feel heavy, it can cause a hot spot on the top of my head after a 4hr period or so. It's doesn't disappear on your head like a Sennheiser 6 series, but it nearly does. Especially after break in.

The sound. Clean. Bright but not harsh highs. They extend well and deliver all the detail in a cohesive way. Not a "chill" sound. It forces detail, all the time. And it does this with absolute precision.

Mids. High mids are slightly recessed, the rest of the mids are present and add a nice warmth and just enough of a lush sound to balance the highs. Vocals are clear and warm. Even more so with the A pads. B pads recess the mids a little more.

Low end is very present. Deep reaching, accurate, and with great speed. Easily the best dynamic driver I've ever heard. Planar type bass. The A pads reduce the bass, add some mids and bring the highs even more forward in comparison. With either pads the sound is never muddy. Everything stays in its lane while being incredibly detailed.

Good natural soundstage. Wide but not artificial. Every frequency has room to breath and move. If the Sennheiser Hd660s is a 4/10 for soundstage, the DT 1990 pro Is a 8/10 Not HD800 wide, but it sounds right, natural.

This thing sounds analytical warm with the B pads and analytical with the A pads. Best sounding headphones I've had to date. Highly recommend.

best headphones for mixing and listening

i've used many good headphones; Audio Technica, Shure etc., but these are the natural step up from the Dt990 Pros i've used for years. Phenomenal clarity, detail and space allow me to hear every element and balance my mix better than i've ever done!

After 3 years of use. The plastic mount is broken. In general, the headphones are good, but my personal opinion is better to take the younger model.

Great for professional use but not for listening to music to relax.

It would be the perfect headset if it wasn't for the big bump in the sibilance range (6KHz-10KHz) that makes these headphones noticeably sharp and even piercing on S and Ts (noticeable on vocals and cymbals.) Great for professional use but not for listening to music to relax.

Upgrade from dt770

So, its all about clarity, control & balance. Tested with rme babyface pro & helix lt. Both interfaces are ok with 250 Ohm. Absolutely does not work with native instruments komplete 6 audio interface: sounds like a highpass and lowpass filters are both on =)

Cons: they are little bit small for my head, so I feel a lot of pressure from headphones, and after 15 minutes its really make work uncomfortable.
