beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro Reviews

beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro

Sound : Super critical perfect for mixing. only downside is you will hear it if your music is sh*t :)

Comfort : Pretty light and comfortable only the round cups do not fit my ears well.

Quality : Even though its plastic it has great build quality. Its not flimsy at all pretty solid

Overall : Amazing for the price point you cannot find a better headphone for critical listening and mixing in this price point in my humble opinion

These headphones have very good and crisp sound, in terms of price to quality nothing can beat them. They are solid and durable. The only drawback is that headband is a tight, it's not so bad but definitely not the most comfy headphones if you intend to use them all day long.

Incredible cheap studio headphones

They have a very good sound, the highs are indeed crisp, but I like the sound balance as it is. The earcups are extremely comfortable, but the headband is a little tight. The plastic does feel a little cheap, but the headphones are sturdy and look good.

Overall, it's hard to beat the DT-990 in terms of value/price.

The first time I can mix in the headphones

I also have the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 X headphones. Their sound was very harsh for me on the highs. The Beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro it's perfect for me and it's sounds just like the speakers I mix on. Very happy with the purchase.

Great headphones for mixing

I use these beats for both production and mixing. The bass isnt great on these headphones so if you are used to a lot of hard hitting 808s these are not for you. These are more of that professional sound

Beyond Expectation

I purchased the headphones recently, and it's beyond my expectations. It has a very clean and clear flat frequency response, therefore I would highly recommend it for Mixing and Mastering.

Great playback sound and comfortable to wear!

I've purchased these headphones because I wanted a pair of open backs specifically for mixing. The sound is great and you can great mixes especially when comparing with the references.

Really good.

These are really good headphones. I use them very often. Clean and soft sound. Comfortable and light. The comfort of the headphones is very important if they are used regularly. Thank you.

Super comfy and clear sound

I bought these for mixing and mastering, having had the 770s for recording use in the studio for a few years. The 990s are just as comfy and can wear them for hours on end without getting tired ears. The sound is also super clear with tonnes of detail. They are on the aggressive side for higher range frequencies, but for me that gives good clarity when mixing. They offer an alternative sound perspective to the studio monitors i'm using, letting me fine tune in particular the overall soundscape and small details of a track. For the purposes of getting a your mix right these would be a great addition to any studio.

Ideal headphones for mixing/mastering/music production

The sound is crystalline clear, even the slightest change of EQ/comp settings are distinctively heard. Would definitely recommend for a home studio, but should be used with a powerful audio interface.

On the other hand, they are not so good for recording, because of the spill into the microphone from the open-back ears.

Amazing for gaming and music

I bought these to game and for my music setup (guitar/piano) .

I love the comfort of the headphones, i never have to take them off and they sound amazing.

Great sound and build for the money, but unfortunately too bright

These headphones are very light, airy and comfortable. Build feels very sturdy, but not too "premium" to the touch and general handling.

Please note as sound is very subjective, take my opinion with a grain of salt

:)

Soundwise it is for sure V-shaped and very bright (confirmed by a few family members and friends who tried them).

Soundstage is great, but a bit confusing compared to the DT 900 Pro X, which has a smaller soundstage, but still better detail/imaging.

For studio work however these can really show when mixes gets too bright... but honestly I would prefer the "flatter" overall frequency response, better bass extension, general detail and precision of the DT 900 Pro X, at least for critical work.

Also, tried both headphones with Sonarworks frequency response correction software and 900 Pro X, again, gave better results. Both headphones take EQ very well.

For gaming these are great and way better than a lot of gaming headsets, but its harder to pinpoint sounds in space as the pricier 900 Pro X

I would definitely recommend this product, but in my opinion DT 900 Pro X is better choice in almost every aspect (especially for studio), except soundstage, weight and double the price, but you should seriously give it a try.

Best Headphones Used Ever

I was looking for a headphone that will do the job of translating my work as music producer/composer into the best possible sound I can get without spending a lot.

I searched and watched a lot of tutorials but nothing came close to the reviews and showcase of the Dt990 pro.

I took a chance and went for it. I realized it was the best decision I made in recent times. This is absolutely amazing even for the price and quality of sound. Even for its age, it’s still kicking a**.

If you are looking for a headphone with an amazing sound stage and quality sound, look no further! This is your last bustop.

THE most comfortable headphones

Point.

I am using those headphones since 90’s. Those are the most comfortable headphones I ever tried (and tried so many, my wife told me to stop buying them, or she will leave) :-)

Fantastic sound - almost flat characteristic (almost).

Build quality is also astonishing. Replaceable ear cushions. Replaceable cables.

It’s the brand by itself. Like Sennheiser or AKG.

Beyerdynamic is my favorite one.

Sehr präziser Klang mit prägnanten Tiefen und detailreichen Höhen. Einziges Manko ist der Tragekomfort für Brillenträger, für Menschen ohne Brille hingegen sind die Dt990 durchaus tragbar. Lediglich ein austauschbares Kabel wäre wünschenswert.

Unbalanced sound

Pros:

- comfortable

- spacious sounding

- reveals some details well

Cons:

- unbalanced sound (too much emphasis at certain frequencies) meaning I do not consider these headphones suitable for daily use

- coiled cable

Exactly as i expected it.

Using it with the Walrus ACS1 + pedals with an SPL headphone amp.

I chose the 250 Ohms cause i wanted the clarity that comes with the higher impedance. Open back means that the sound stage is huge but what it also delivers is comfort after 2 or even 3 hours of guitar playing. Sound quality is amazing especially when listening from stereo reverbs. deep low end and crystal clear hi's. Just to be clear, i am not using them to listen to music so my rate is based on reproducing my guitar rig.

There are no better ones in the world!

I have a studio and I decided to try a whole box of headphones from different brands. Certainly, for some brands, it is not the place in the market at all. Some are too expensive for the sound they offer. While others too cheap to make it real. For many years I stopped at these beyerdynamic headphones and said there are no better ones in a pleasant and response. I have also given different tests to other people.

And I think this is from workmanship to quality that every serious studio has to afford. Beyerdynamic is the ultimate listening pleasure, with a sincere response and an even characteristic without any other emphasis. You can actually make the perfect MIX songs on these headphones without the use of speaker monitors.

Its the best headphone I have ever used the sound quality is amazing, it’s a good choice that I bought it

Très bon

J'ai pris ce casque en me fiant aux avis que j'ai lu et je ne suis pas déçu.

Le son est très bon, j'imagine qu'il y a mieux pour plus cher mais on a ici un excellent rapport qualité/prix

Le casque est aussi très confortable, même en portant des lunettes.

Je recommande pour ceux qui voudraient un casque à bon prix pour leur home studio
