beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO Over-Ear Studio Monitor Headphones - Open-Back Stereo Construction, Wired (80 Ohm, Grey)

Product Information

Before we jump into our Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 80 Ohm Headphones review, we should inform you of the items in the package. This indicates that the headphones are tuned to have a specific sound signature that is close to these diffuse field targets. The DT 990 Pro comes with soft velour earpads, as well an adjustable padded spring steel headband for maximum comfort making them ideal for long sessions. The low-weight diaphragms produce an excellent sound reproduction and the soft comfortable ear pads ensure your ears won't suffer with fatigue after using them for long periods.

Alright, now let’s learn about the product’s design in our Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 80 Ohm Headphones review. Firstly, the Edition models have a softer headband for enjoying music at home whereas the PRO headset has a slightly firmer fit.

Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro Limited Edition 80 Ohm Closed Dynamic Headphones – Black offer a high-end audio experience with impeccable sound reproduction across all frequencies. EXTREME COMFORTThe single-sided cable allows the headphones to be put on and taken off frequently without cables getting tangled, and soft, adjustable ear cups make for added comfort. All of our products are new unless stated and come with a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 3-year warranty as standard.

I have the 250ohm DT 1990s and while I can drive them from my DT, they sound better when going from my MOTU UL MK5 at the same volume levels. I have used it before and needed it again, I think it will be a piece of equipment I will carry with me for life.The Beyerdynamic have a crisp clarity that makes everything, especially vocals, sound like tubular bells being hit by crystal wine glasses, but really lack bass, even with an amp.

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. You may not be all that impressed with plastic on headphones this expensive, but trust us: it’s important to keep that weight down. We only use the best quality parts, which we hand craft in Germany with great care and attention to detail. In this listening area, the sound of the headphones was, for me, on the threshold of soft and silky edging to sharpness, but without the sound slipping over this range into sibilance.Just as the DT 770 Pro is available in several ohm variants, the DT 990 Pro is now also available with an impedance below the established 250 ohms. Thanks to the Tesla technology developed in Heilbronn, the DT 1990 PRO offers even finer resolution with precise and powerful bass. I dismantled the headphones, the cups inside are the same, with the same number of holes, they close tightly. The 80-ohm version is not only a good choice for professional producers and engineers but also for amateur musicians and content creators, such as podcasters and streamers, who use audio interfaces with rather low-voltage headphone preamps.

But every now and then, you find an excellent pair of studio headphones that doesn’t cost too much and sounds great. I really like how they look and from what I've seen and heard I believe I'll like the sound signature and feel as well, if I wasn't getting these I'd be getting the normal 250Ohm pros and a DAC/AMP, and as always if I feel I am in luck I decided to check if I'm missing some detail. If you do take the plunge, however, you’ll also get a frequency response that closely follows our studio curve.

Handmade using premium components, you'll be able to go for extended periods of time without any discomfort. Even though it is an expensive and difficult to access product in my country, I am happy to have this unique product thanks to thomann. With the lower impedance, it should be much more suitable for devices with headphone outputs that provide a lower output voltage. Before we end our Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 80 Ohm Headphones review, we now highlight our observations during this review.
