beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro Reviews

Best headphones I've ever tried. And closest to real desk speakers too. I'm getting confused sometimes is it from headphones or from the speakers.

I have Superlux hd 660 too and DT-990 is way better in all things, not just sound (which is way better too).

Thought I'd be hating cable, but it's ok.

great product

I am using them at home for just about everything, from watching movies to recording music.

The sound is great, they are very comfortable, and after 3 years of 8h a day use, they still look and work like new.

10/10 would buy again,

10/10 would recommend to just about anyone

I tried to think of something negative to say about them, but i couldn't. I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Loudness voiced

Very confortable and well build.

For my personal taste I don't like very much how is voiced. Some emphasis around 100Hz and all above 4000Hz, while the middle range 500-2000 is scooped. So is pleasant, a little dark but not (for me) a good reference for mixing.

I use this headphones for mixing and listening to music. The box is simple and the headphones feel light although the cable has some weight to it.

They are really enjoyable to listen to and you get a lushy, rounded sub-bass; smooth mids and a big bright high-end. For me it took quite a learning curve to get used to their sub region as they can be tricky. The subs are so smooth that it's really to over do them when mixing. Of course this should be more a reference listening tool rather than mixing from scratch with them.

TL;DR:

Pros :

. Very balanced and pleasant to listen to;

. The open back makes them really easy to use for hours in low volumes;

. Lightweight;

Cons:

. Feel a bit fragile, makes a popping sound when putting them on, experienced this in a few units but it doesn't seem harmful for the structure;

. A bit high-end heavy;

. In high volumes sound a bit unbalanced with predominating subs and highs, yet enjoyable.

I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't personally choose any other pair of headphones for this price.

flattest headphones out there

i use them to mix while travelling, and i could t find a better pair. i ve been rocking these for years

Best studio headphones

Very comfortable, good sounding professional studio headphones. I can sit in these headphones literally all day.

headphones are definitely on the bright side, i'd say they are a little bit too bright, the bass is not much, but its enough (unless you are a bass-head).

build quality 3/4 out of 5, because plastic size regulators feel cheap, a little bit of a wiggle, fortunately, they are replaceable.

overall, imo, they feel pretty close to neutral sound, and comfort is great, because they are very light. might feel a little bit weird after closed back headphones.

Great headphones for studio and HIFI

If you really want to hear everything and anything, this headphones is the one you should consider. Detailed sound quality with no dominant highs and/or lows.

High ohm great advantage in these jobs

the headset is a complete lottery. But you may leave the road; as the ohms decreases, the volume increases, thd increases, but as the ohm rises, the volume decreases, but thd decreases the sound, the cleaner comes and the restability increases.

With this logic, I preferred the 250 ohms version. I would prefer the 600 ohm version if it was in stock.

So I knew what to hear before buying the headset. I just couldn't guess the frequency response. Did not regret beyerdynamics.

The ears are airing because the sides are open. I don't think there's anything else as important as ear on a headset. Comfort is quite comfortable.

The upper frequencies are not harsh but the presence is pronounced.

The stereo field could have been a bit wider.

From the moment you wear it is very quiet and comfortable.

The lower frequencies are organic when listening from a speaker. Test benchmark made with dac1. I'm satisfied.

Happy

I really like thus product and the delivery is on time.

Extraordinary Clarity and Inspiring Bass Response

Outstanding performers for studio work - I can't imagine wanting anything more. And the price makes these a splendid value!

Very good headphones!

I bought them for mixing, after reading a lot of reviews about which headphones are best for this.

I am really impressed with the sound,

They are very comfortable (I have glasses and my head doesn't hurt even after several hours of use)

I like the cable and the fact that It has a 3.5'' TRS connector with a screwable 6.35'' adapter. I bought the 250 Ohm version and although some wrote that because of the high impedance it might not be loud enough when using it with a laptop, I find the maximum volume level is more than enough.

The only thing I don't really like are the metal earpiece holders. They seem a bit cheap and make a scary click when you move the earpieces, as if something wanted to break :) You only normally adjust them once anyway, so not a big deal, but it's something that might need to be improved.

Fantastic Mixing Headphones

Brilliant quality headphones for mixing, and the price point is perfect.

After 6 months or less right channel died

Bought these and after 6 months or less right channel died. Bought them because of supposed resilience...

Very confortable though.

Didn't like the sound at all... but i'm not an expert

Should have bought audio technica :"(

Love them

I think these headphones sound and feel great. They are comfortable to use over long periods of time. I use them to reference and work on my mixes. As they are open-backed I would avoid using them to monitor when recording (there will be spill into the mic). Highly recommend.

Superb

I use these for a small home studio setup instead of monitors. I am no audiophile but they sound at least as good as other friends home/studio rooms with decent monitors. The bass is full and rich and the highs are clear and sharp. They are also super comfortable.

Perhaps I would hear an improvement with some mid-high end sennheisers but I think for the money you can't go wrong with these.

bit overbassed, so now i would buy them only if i would looking headphones for entertainment (playing games, movies and listening audio) or use them as just reference.

If you are pointing for mastering (and it`s depending on what kind of music you are going to) i would not be afraid too, however there are much more better options out there. But at end of the day, they will do a huge service for you in producent use too.

Just keep in mind, u have to learn to tame your lowers so they will sound accurate on another speakers great as well.

So maybe, the final verdict, these are not maybe for beginner producers

Top preis leistung!!

Eignen sich hervorragend als Referenz beim Mischen, absolut Spitze fuer den Preis!!

Entry level feedback

I use this product for gaming as well as listening for music.

Gaming:

The spatial orientation these headphones offer is incredible. I can always recognise from which direction the sound is coming, giving me an edge in certain games.

Music clarity:

I can clearly distinguish between the high and lows as well as different instruments when using these for music listening, especially when using them to listen to some classical music. My music range goes from classical to rock and metal, mixed with some trance and house as well, and I've used these to listen to all of them. I do find myself tweaking the EQ from time to time depending on the genre I'm using them for, but overall I am really pleased with the sound quality that they offer.

Comfort:

They are horrible during the summer for me personally, can't really stand the head and when using these during the summer it's even worse. Earbuds all the way.

If you have no such problems (eg. during colder times for me). They are really comfortable, I can use them for hours without having the slightest discomfort.

Quality:

They do feel a bit flimsy at times, but if you handle them with care they should be fine for a very long period of time.

Benchmark

I bought this product for writing music, since I travel a lot and do not have the opportunity to carry monitors with me, this is a great alternative.I am very pleased with the quality of the goods, they sit very comfortably on my head, I don?t even feel that I have headphones on my head.The first time I use an open type of headphones and do not regret what I bought, now I can write music for 5 hours without a break, thank you very much.
