beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO Open-back Dynamic Studio Headphones - 250 Ohm

These are hands down the best headphones that I've ever used. The soundstage is enormous, the clarity next level, I've paired them with a Fiio BTR5 and used both Spotify and tidal from my phone and they sound gorgeous whatever music you're feeding them. The treble is sharp, too sharp for some, but for me it just feels so natural, a big crash cymbal is supposed to be a jarring sound, and here it almost is. The bass is less pronounced than other headphones that I've used, but still absolutely crystal clear all the way down to the super low bass. You can't expect monstrous bass from open back headphones, but I've heard that the 770 pros ( which are essentially the same headphones underneath, just closed back) are absolute bass beasts so if that's what you're looking for then they may be a better fit. Obviously these headphones bleed sound like buggery and have about as much noise cancelation as a thin pillowcase, but as previously stated, this is a product of the open back design, so if it's an issue then 770's should solve that!These are quite tough headphones to run when in their 250ohm guise as my set is, which is why an amp/dac is required for these to sound any good. For me, that's the Fiio BTR5, which I've also reviewed on amazon (spoiler alert, it's very good.) but there are many options when it comes to amp/dacs so do a bit of research before you buy if you're unsure. On the other hand, there is an 80ohm version available, but the quality and soundstage takes a very slight hit so try to accommodate the 250ohm's if at all possible, you won't regret it!I have also started using these for gaming, for which they are faultless. In shooters I feel as if I'm in the battlefield, and I can place exactly where the sounds are coming from. Combine these with a decent modmic and you've got the best gaming headset you'll ever need, for not much money (compared to high end gaming headsets which sound like s*** anyway).Overall, without spending your whole salary on audiophile gear, these are probably the best headphones for critical listening. No they're not good for a busy train, or walking the dog, but for sitting in a quiet room, enjoying some fine music, nothing comes close for this money. I would recommend that everyone tries some high end headphones at some point in their lives, It changed how I saw music when I did, and I believe that these are some of the cheapest ways into that world. However, they may only be £110, but they're so good that it may start you down a very expensive path in the future, so be warned.11/10 You'd be dumb not to get them.

I’ve used a lot of headphones over the years, and the DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm are one of those sets that have clearly stood the test of time. There’s a reason they’re everywhere in studios.But they are not for everyone.First, the sound. This is classic Beyerdynamic tuning — big, punchy bass, slightly recessed mids, and very energetic highs. The low end has real impact and extension, especially for an open-back, but it stays relatively tight.Midrange is clean but a bit pushed back. Vocals don’t sit front and centre, which works well for some genres, less so if you want that intimate vocal presentation.The highs… this is where opinions split. There’s a lot of detail and sparkle, but also a noticeable peak that can come across as sharp depending on the track and your source. With the right setup, it’s exciting and revealing. With the wrong one, it can get fatiguing.Technically, these are strong. The soundstage is wide and open, imaging is excellent, and they’re great for picking apart mixes or just getting lost in a track. You definitely get that “out of your head” feel.Comfort is excellent. Lightweight for their size, big ear cups, and those velour pads are genuinely great for long sessions. You can wear these for hours without any issues.Now the important bit: the 250 Ohm version needs proper power. Plugging these straight into a laptop or phone isn’t going to cut it. They scale noticeably with a decent DAC/amp, and without that, you’re not hearing what they can actually do.Build is solid and very “studio tool” — not flashy, but built to last.Bottom line: these are fantastic headphones if you pair them properly and you’re okay with the brighter top end. If you’re sensitive to treble or running straight out of weak sources, they’re probably not the right choice.Get the setup right though, and they’re still one of the best value open-backs out there.If you love the idea of the DT 990 but dont have a dac/amp with enough juice, go for the 80 ohm version

I have owned a pair of Sennheiser HD-580 Precision headphones (they based on the original HD600, and use the same driver) for many years now, but having gone over from using Hi Fi separates, to computer based audio equipment, I have been longing for a slightly more powerful sound, something that has a little more impact and sparkle than my old HD-580s, which are a lovely sounding headphone.I was initially sceptical about these Beyerdynamic DT990 Pros, simply because of the low price, and the deep confusion that surrounds all the various different ohm ratings Beyerdynamic use across many of their ranges. It seems that the sound actually varies depending on which impedance rating you end up purchasing, as to if you will get too much treble, or too much bass, or deeply recessed mids.After spending much time reading many reviews and forums regarding the DT990 Pro, versus the DT770/880 Pro range, I settled on the 990 Pro 250 Ohm version, as it's hard to justify double the cost for the 32 OHM versions of these.After opening up the box, I was instantly reminded that the cable is of the coiled variety. This kind of reminds me of those big boxy headphones you could get in the 70's! However after actually using the headphones, the coiled cable is actually better for me than having nearly 3 meters of cable hanging on the floor in front of my computer, where I sit when listening to music.So, just to set the scene, the 990's are connected to my computer via an Objective2 headphone amp, with built-in ODAC, connected to the computer using USB. I use J.River Media Player v19, and have it set to directly connect to the ODAC at 24Bit & 44KHz Sample rate.I started out by having my trusty Sennheisers connected first, and listened to some music, just to give myself a reference point for the 990's. Then I quickly replaced the Senns with the 990s, and wow!!! To my surprise, the 990's actually sounded slightly louder, and had much better bass, and much more detailed upper mids and treble. The overall midrange was about the same as the Senns, so I was instantly in love with the 990's! They have a wider soundstage, as well as better positioning compared to the Senns, which kind of sound a little lifeless in direct comparison to the 990's. My o2 amp really got the Senns working as well as my old Hi Fi seperates used to, but they lacked impact in the bass, and always were a little dull sounding in the top ranges (the infamous Sennheiser veil at play!). These 990 Pro's just give me all that is best about the Sennheiser 580's, but improve on the bass and detail, making them a really good and balanced sounding headphone. I can only think that those who claim these 990 Pros have a recessed midrange are using either badly matching equipment, or just bad equipment in the first place.I find the bass on the 990's are very deep, rich and fast. They really brings out sub-bass nicely, but not in an artificial or bloated way, it really has to be heard to be understood properly! The upper bass notes are natural, tight and punchy, certainly not of the one note variety, which the Senns can tend to be with some music. The treble is definitely more present than my Sennheisers, but I would not call these artificially bright by any means, but it is fair to say that these headphones require a good quality headphone amp, something with a neutral sound. If your equipment is on the bright side, then these headphones may be a little revealing of that.I find the DT990 Pros to be very comfortable, and have a relatively low clamping force, slightly lower than all my Sennheiser headphones that I've ever owned, so I'm not sure why some people claim these headphones can be a little tight on the head, I almost wish they clamped a tiny bit harder! The velour earpads are really comfy, and very similar in feel to the Sennheisers. (sorry to keep comparing these phones to Sennheisers, but the senns are a gold standard, and twice the price of these, so I think it's fair to compare.I have not had a chance to try these with my iPhone 5, or my iPad 3 yet, but I think these headphones probably will not be efficient enough, and will lack volume, but when I get the time to try them out, I will update this review.The bottom line is that at £120, they are an absolute steal. I think you would have to spend more than 3 times this money to actually get something with a better sound. Maybe the Audeze LCD2 would be a nice, noticeable step up, but anything else would not really have the value for money factor that you get with the 990 Pros!

Just received these this afternoon. I already own Amirons, DT 880s and DT 770s and Grado SR80s. I’m not a fan of Sennheiser, so anyone who is familiar with both Beyerdynamic and Sennheiser headphones will appreciate that this is a subjective review by someone who likes Beyerdynamic’s house sound. This review is my assessment of them purely for home use.There are obviously loads of reviews of the 990s on the internet, and although very popular they obviously divide opinion. I shan’t make out that these are for everybody, but I’ll add my three pennies worth here which might cut through the superlative laden ayes and the damning nays and help some people to make up their minds on whether or not to buy a pair (I dithered for far too long).When I was in my early twenties I might have found the Beyerdynamic sound too bright and analytical, but back then I could hear frequencies up to 20khz; not so now, at 63 my hearing tops out just under 14khz, so maybe this accounts for my later-in-life infatuation with the Beyerdynamic sound. Though I like most forms of music, the bulk of my collection veers towards acoustic music - classical, jazz etc - there’s also a fair bit of dub reggae, rock, EDM and so on (so, it’s basically Prince Far-I to Schubert, Aphex Twin to CSNY, Thelonious Monk to Joni Mitchell, Public Enermy to Spirit, Poppy Ackroyd to Bob Dylan - catholic, essentially).I’ve only had a few hours to make comparisons (Bill Withers, Thelonious Monk, Radio 3, Bill Charlap, Heart of the Congos, Lana Del Rey), but I think this has given me adequate opportunity to make a pretty accurate judgement of the characteristics and comparative merits of the 990s. I’ve been listening to them mainly through a Little Dot Mk 2 with a combination of Novosibirsk and Mullard 8100 valves (sourcing from a Cyrus Cd and Cyrus 8 DAC amplifier).I’m delighted with the 990s. They are neither shriekingly sibilant nor either lacking or over-endowed with bass. Compared to the other headphones that I own I would say that the 990s are nearest in sound to the 880s. Indeed, I think that they are very near sound-wise. The 880s are marginally more polished, but the difference (to my ears at least) is subtle rather than dramatic. I would suggest that the 990s are very good, cheaper alternatives to the 880s. The 880s clamp the head noticeably more lightly than the 990s, but the 990s are more secure on the head. Sound leakage is similar in both, so neither are good for listening to next to your sleeping partner (who hates going off to music and especially hates jazz) in bed unless you want a poke in the ribs. For this I have the 770s, which have a somewhat “fuller” or “fatter” sound than the other two. Leakage on the 770s is minimal at low to modest volumes.The Amirons (Homes) are, to my mind, decidedly more “musical” or “liquid” sounding headphones, very enjoyable for extended listening and very revealing, in comparison with those I would describe the 990s and 880s as rather “analytical” sounding and the 770s are somewhat “dryer” (I hope describing their sound as both “dryer” and “fatter” doesn’t sound like a contradiction in terms but I can’t immediately think of a better words to describe the sound). However, they’re all good and all have what you might call a “house sound” (i.e. a Beyerdynamic sound), although the Amirons depart furthest from this sound (which isn’t really very far at all) while the others might all be considered even more typical. The Amirons have a fuller, certainly pleasant and, I would say, slightly coloured bass by comparison, the bass on the 880s and 990s is leaner and, as far as I am qualified to judge, seemingly more accurate. Some people say that they both lack bass, but I don’t think this it true, it is most certainly there when it’s there! It may be that those who think they lack bass are listening to these headphones without suitable amplification. As goes the 770s, I’d say that their bass - in terms of weight - lies in the middle here, it is perfectly good but it is neither as accurate as on the 880s and 990s nor as pleasurable as on the Amirons.Sound stage is best, and very similar, on the 990s, 880s and Amirons. I wouldn’t say that there is any vastly significant difference here between these three headphones. The 770s, being closed-back, are noticeably more “closed-in” in terms of soundstage but, in terms of closed-back headphones per se they’re actually really rather good in this area; I’ve certainly not encountered a closed-back pair that are better (or indeed any other closed-back pair that I can actually bear - I personally much prefer open-back designs, for me the 770s are exceptions in this department). The 1770s may well be better, but I’m not about to fork out several hundred pounds more for those when I use closed-back headphones mostly for listening in bed via the headphone output of a Roberts radio.As regards comparison with the Grado SR 80s, the 990s and 880s are decidedly superior sounding, with the Grados sounding rather rough and uncouth by comparison (though this isn’t helped by the Grados comfort levels which are simply not in the same league - half an hour with Grado SR80 ear pads is sheer torture; consequently I’ve replaced them with Sennheiser HD414 ear pads which improbably (as, apart from being yellow, they don’t seem materially that different from the Grado pads) improve matters a fair bit and don’t noticeably change the SR80s sound). The Grados do sound more bassy, but this is definitely a matter of quantity rather than quality. Build quality on the Grado SR80s is also markedly inferior to that of the Beyerdynamics. I would retire the Grados at this point, but their 32 Ohm impedance makes them useful. They’re good fun, but they’re not good for extended listening sessions.The 990s and 880s with their 250 Ohm impedance definitely need amplification. I use a couple of Little Dot Mk 2s. The Amirons have the same impedance but are significantly more sensitive. For unamplified use I find the 770s a better match with their 80 Ohm impedance (they certainly work well with most Roberts radios of recent years, Roberts seem to have pretty good headphone circuits on their radios).Summing up, I think that the 990s are fantastic value for money (the Amiron Homes, which I love, are perhaps a clear case of diminishing returns by comparison). If you’re thinking of buying a pair of Beyerdynamics, want open-backed headphones, fancy the 880s from all you’ve read, but feel that the 880s are a stretch for you financially, then I think you’d be missing very little with the 990s in terms of sound).Originally, I had thought of purchasing Beyerdynamic’s new DT900 X headphones, but - reading the reviews, and knowing how much I already liked the sound of the 880s and 770s - I thought I’d save myself some money and get something that might not sound so hugely different for half the price and, beyond that, I actually prefer the look of the 990s. I don’t rule out considering the new series in future, but for now I don’t feel I’m missing out on anything that would be game-changing, although I admit I’m curious. As I have found repeatedly, however wild the superlatives I encounter in the reviews the actual differences between the last and the latest model of a particular piece of hifi is more often than not a matter of nuance.Whatever way you cut it, comparing the 990s with the highly regarded and (to me) very similar sounding 880s and the more refined, more relaxed, but four or five times more expensive Amiron Homes, they are still very good sounding headphones and first class value for money - assuming, like me, you like the Beyerdynamic sound. If you’re a Sennheiser fan you’d probably be barking up the wrong tree (but you know that already) and, if you’re a Beats fan, then presumably you’re already stone deaf. And then again, as goes highly regarded budget headphones, I reckon they knock the Grado SR80s into a cocked hat. But not everyone would agree with me.Anyway, I hope all that helps.Update, 28/1/22. I’ve now spent some more time listening to the 990s on a Little Dot Mk 2 with a combination of Novosibirsk and Radio Technique valves (sourcing from a Naim CD5 via a Rega Elex R). The Radio Technique valves are very similar to the Mullard 8100s I used at the top of this piece. Continued close listening has only confirmed my sense of how good these headphones are. On further consideration, with this set up, I’d say their sound signature lies between that of the 880s and the Amirons. I’d say they sound slightly “weightier” than the 880s and that the Amirons are a bit more so, but the differences here are more subtle than seismic. On careful comparison, after a few hours of listening, my overwhelming sense at this point is that, if you like open-backed headphones, like the Beyerdynamic sound and have a hankering for a pair of Amirons but either can’t afford them or can’t justify the expense, then you really wouldn’t be missing very much at all by just settling for a pair of 990s. By comparison they are a real bargain and, I think, in absolute terms they are quite simply one of the best bargains there is on the headphone market.One further point, on comfort, although the 990s have more clamping force on the head, I actually find them more comfortable than the Amirons as they fit my head better.Finally, as anyone who has read this far has already probably figured out, it has cost me quite a lot to reach my conclusions here. I think I have a reasonable sense of humour, but if you’re an audiophile sceptic then I guess I can understand why you may feel you’re getting the last laugh! I’m glad I own the Amirons, they are very nice headphones, but if I could only have one pair I must admit that I’d very happily settle for the 990s.Postscript, 31/1/22. On further reflection, it’s very good having several headphones all sharing a general character that I like, but each a little different from the others. Different music works best on certain headphones (for instance, listening to Beatrice Rana’s performance of the Goldberg Variations this morning I much prefer the rendition of her piano’s sound through the Amirons to that of the 770s (the piano sounding decidedly more lifelike through the Amirons), whereas with Thelonious Monk’s It’s Monk’s Time the difference is less obvious and, if anything, I’d say I actually prefer the 770s with their greater attack. But, different music is not all: different recordings, different source equipment, different mood of the listener ... however, it’s very quick and easy to change between modestly priced headphones during a listening session in order to optimise your listening experience (something you can’t readily do with expensive speakers, amplifiers, cartridges and so on).

These headphones are excellent for the price, but there's a few things to keep in mind before shopping:If you're a basshead, avoid these, as the bass reponse is more neutral (doesn't lack in the bass, it's well balanced, it's just not that 'right in your face' overwhelming type of a bass), as you would find on a near-field monitor speakers, don't expect that sound anyway from an open back headphone...If you're planning to use it in a busy family environment, it's not the best choice because the sound is leaking - again, open back, no surprises.They are 250 Ohm - you can drive them with a macbook or a cheap soundcard, as the other reviwers stated, but you don't know what you're missing, until you hook it up with a proper headphone amp. Mobile phones are also out of the equation, they just simply don't have the power to drive these cans. (maybe the G series LG phones with their dedicated built in DAC)First i tought i can drive them with my Scarlett Solo audio interface - tho they did the job, there was no headroom left, i had to crank it all the way up to have *slightly* loud sound. Also the highs were way too harsh for my ears. So i ended up ordering a dedicated headphone amp/preamp from Schiit Audio (i know, it's a funny name, but they are making some of the coolest stuff for audiophiles) the Magni 3. My signal chain is the following now: my main AM4 based PC-Scarlett Solo-Schiit Magni 3 - Presonus Eris 3.5 - with this setup the DT 990 Pro finally came alive, and they are delivering an amazing sound, MUCH better than the Scarlett itself. The highs are not that harsh anymore, the sound stage is spot on, the bass got tighter, and the headroom is just crazy. Maybe just a placebo effect, but i think the highs are getting smoother as i am using these headphones every day (i'm not a huge believer of break-in times on speakers/headphones). The only downside for me is the cable - it's not changable unfortunately, very heavy, and it doesn't seem that sturdy at the connection point, hopefully they don't break too soon... The comfort is next level, ideal for long sessions.All in all, these cans are incredible value for the price, highly recommended for anyone who wants an entry level audiophile headphone.

For the audio quality and comfort and such light weight headphones at this price point absolutely amazing, you will not be disappointed. I use them as my primary headphones for everyday listening, and getting a track laid out in Fender Studio Pro, in conjunction with my Neumann KH 80 Monitors and Audeze LCD X 2024's.

After years of using DT100s in my home studio for tracking I have also been using them for all my mixing. However they are way too tight to help prevent bleed that they quickly become very uncomfortable to use. I decided I needed to stop being so miserable and spend some money on a good set of mixing headphones.I did as much research as I could and asked around in audio forums to find out which were the best open back headphones for around £100. The unanimous answer was a resounding yes for the DT990 Pros. So that was me decided.When they arrived first glance made me think they looked a bit cheap and plasticky but they are OK. What is incredible is how comfortable they are. They are large cups that fully enclose my ears and the material is so soft. You can wear these for extended periods of time without any discomfort.I'm so carried away with the comfort that I almost forgot to mention how they sound. Compared to my DT100s these 990s are in a completely different league and a huge improvement in sound detail. The bass is more extensive, rich and fuller. There seems to be much more separation between instruments with each sounding more distinct. There is very little harshness to wear you down at long sittings.I've never used open back headphones before so was a bit taken aback at being able to hear room noises when in use. Just a newbie thing.My only concern is the fixed cable. My other headphones have plug in cables so if you accidentally roll over the cable with your chair it just pops out rather than break. In fairness though the 990s come with a short coiled lead which won't reach the floor anyway.The only real problem I have had with these phones is the impedance. When plugged into my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface it struggled to give full volume to the 250 ohm cans. I had to buy a headphone amp to boost the signal. (I bought the Behringer HA400 for only £25 which is excellent). The sound is now full and crystal clear.I seem to have waffled on a fair bit. The bottom line is that these are excellent sounding headphones. The best I have ever heard. Despite a couple of issues, I would highly recommend them.

QUALITY:This is rather subjective and opinionated, so I am not going to go into each different level of sound, saying how the 'highs are delicious', or 'the bass is as smooth as a baby's bottom', some people don't care, and others don't understand.IT IS IMPERATIVE YOU HAVE THE AMP CAPABILITY FOR THESE!!! If you don't then you are missing out on the full dynamic range that these headphones can offer...I am using these with a JDS ElementWhen they are correctly amped, however, these are among the best things that I have listened to for home usage, especially in a quiet environment, where background noise isn't much of an issue, or people are not going to get upset at the background leakage. Due to their open design, films and wide spaced music sound very natural, and if you like EQing your music, then these will likely sound even better. The only downside to them for me was the extreme highs, I am rather sensitive to higher pitches, so I had to amp these down, and occasionally got headaches as a result if I was not careful, so for anyone else who is of a similar disposition and finds higher pitches a problem, you might want to take that into account before you cast your judgement on them.COMFORT:Second to none. My friend aptly summed them up: 'They feel like clouds on your ears.' Even after two years of heavy use (albeit in a relatively well ventilated environment) I didn't find the need to replace the velour pads, though if you do want to, it is a simple operation. Some may find the clamping force a bit high, but I am sure that some DIY fixes will resolve this.BUILD QUALITY:Very good on the whole, only the things that needed to be metal were metal; the headband and the cup holders, whilst the outer housing of the earcups was made from a very high quality and hard wearing plastic. I occasionally threw these in my bag when I went travelling, and in this case, I never found an issue after I pulled them out of my bag at the other end. The coiled wire is very durable, and the anti strain parts at both ends of the wire are very well made and are not going to give out unless you are really trying.DOWNSIDES:There are only a few of these, and then again, they are very situational:1. They are open, so don't go around expecting to use these in noisy environments without pumping obscene amounts of volume through them. Also, they will leak heavily out the sides, so people in close proximity to you might not be so grateful.2. Heavy coiled cable, so if you are running these under a desk as I am, or over a long distance, you might want to stretch the cable a bit before using them, as the spring and weight of it can translate into your left earcup if you are not careful, something that a lot of people might not be too impressed with.3. Power required to drive them is high, so don't go around expecting them to sound awesome on your phone, as I said before, you need a decent sound card or dedicated headphone amplifier in most cases to supply them with sufficient power, thus getting the full potential out of them. Few motherboards except the most high end ones come with built in amps that are powerful enough to fully meet the need for these, and no phone that I can think of is capable of this either. Desktop amps are not unthinkably expensive these days, and if you really like your music, it is well worth investing in one.Overall, you really should consider these if you are looking for headphones that sound awesome, and are going to last a long time. I would again remind you that these are not meant for use out and about unless you don't care about the people around you, or listen so loud that you are able to ignore the background noise. Ideal for home use where noise isn't much of an issue, and even better when you are using a high quality audio set up.

Je possède de DT 990 Pro 250 ohms (et non 32 comme décrit dans l'annonce). Et OUI IL FONCTIONNE SANS CARTE SON !! J'ai tellement cherché cette information sans réelle réponse, que je fais un commentaire pour vous dire ce qu'il en est !!La version 250 ohms fonctionne très bien sur iPad, et également directement branché sur une carte son intégrée d'un ordinateur. Certains voudront pousser le son un peu plus fort cependant. En effet, la puissance que demande ce casque nous demande de mettre le son à 100%.Mais si vous n'avez pas de carte son, vous pouvez toujours prendre ce casque et attendre quelques jours/semaines avant de prendre une carte son. Il fonctionne très bien branché en direct sur vos périphériques.---------------------Le son est tout bonnement excellent ! C'est la première fois que je ne ressens pas le besoin de changer l'égalisateur !! Les graves sont bien présents (oui oui, il y a beaucoup de graves sur ce casque ouvert) mais pas non plus envahissants ! Le sont est superbement équilibré, les aigues et les médiums bien réparti, aucune fréquence ne prend le dessus sur l'autre !---------------------Très bon confort d'écoute, il est léger, du moment qu'on arrive à caller le câble pour qu'il ne tire pas sur les oreilles. Il ne sert pas trop la tête, ne donne pas ce ressenti de cocotte-minute qu'on retrouve avec un casque fermé.Très très bon choix, je recommande ce casque !! Rapport qualité/prix imbattable !

expensive but worth it, best for music composers and also for gamers. but sure you need must a DAC/AMP for this . Otherwise sound too much low cause low power, you must need a amp for this

Debo empezar por mencionar que poseo, y uso a diario, los BeyerDynamic DT770. Escucho muchos generos de musica: Electronica, Vaporwave, New Retro Wave, Metal, Rock, Clasico, Japanese City Funk de los 70s/80s, J-Rock, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Dance, Heavy Rock 80s... Bastante variado como podran ver.Estos DT990 los estoy escuchando a traves de una tarjeta de sonido externa USB Creative X-FI Titanium HD Creative Labs X-Fi Titanium HD - Tarjeta de sonido (USB, - Creative Media Toolbox - Creative Console Launcher - Entertainment Console, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz) la cual funciona como DAC/ADC/AMP y amplifica audifonos de hasta 300 Ohms de impedancia, suficiente para estos 250 Ohms.ConstruccionLos audifonos se sienten BASTANTE solidos. Igual que los DT770, si se te caen, no sientes como se te sale el alma del cuerpo. Son resistentes y aguantan la vida dura.ComodidadPoco mas comodos que los DT770. Las almohadillas de Velour son muy comodas y proporcionan un buen espacio entre el oido y el driver, dando al sonido un poco mas de espacio para rebotar en el canal y llegar con mas "boom" al oido.Bajos:Los DT990 me sorprendieron en este departamento. Tan pronto me los puse y reproduje una cancion quede IMPRESIONADO. No esperaba tanto bajo y con tal definicion, de unos Open-Back. Sub-bass y Mid-bass muy presentes y con bastante calidad. Claro, no tienen tanto sub-bass como los DT770 (que son Closed-Back), pero aun asi tienen y la verdad esta muy bien definido.Medios:Muy similares a los de los DT770. Un poco retraidos pero aun asi muy presentes. No dejan nada que desear, pero aun asi le aumente 1 a 2 decibeles en el ecualizador.Altos:Muy fuertes, demasiado diria yo. Tuve que ecualizar para reducir estos porque con ciertas canciones lastimaban mi oido. Una vez ecualizados fue una experiencia mucho mejor. Tienen bastante claridad. El Heavy Metal se escucha mejor en estos que en los 770.Soundstage:Muy amplio como es de esperarse de unos Open-back. Los comparo con los DT770, los cuales son famosos por tener uno de los soundstage mas amplios en audifonos Closed-back: El soundstage es similar, muy amplio, pero en estos 990 se escucha mas... Abierto? Como si el tamaño del soundstage fuese el mismo, pero en los 990 se siente menos claustrofobico. Para los videojuegos son mejor que los 770 pues siento que los sonidos que vienen de arriba o abajo se posicionan mejor que en los 770. En cuanto a amplitud, diria que es lo mismo.Tienen bastante razon de parecerse a los 770. Despues de todo son practicamente los mismos drivers y construccion, solo que unos son Open-back y los otros Closed.Altamente recomendados para escuchar musica, y para jugar videojuegos por su excelente soundstage. Compren un buen DAC/AMP y a disfrutar.

Beyerdynamic 990 DT pro 250ohmThese headphones are easily my favorite for home use. This is my second pair. First pair which I still have in use is 3rd year owning it. Love them so much I bought this second set so I don't ha r to keep moving them around home.-extremely comfortable with velvety ear pads that completely surround the ear and do not touch the ear. I can wear this for hours upon hours.-very lightweight so it doesn't feel too exhausting over time-sound quality is second to none at this price tag ( got it for 230 here !). It is an open back headphone so it sound stage is extremely wide and you don't feel like you're enclosed. I well mixed stereo album sounds tremendously full and wide. No closed ear design can possibly match this. It is a similar experience to open back grado headphones.... Except grado is the worst in terms of comfort. By the way.... Open back isn't good for office usage due to obvious reasons of sound leaking out .-Crisp highs, without being harsh .. straight out of the box without much break in time. Well balanced mid and lows without sounding DJ bassy nor booomy and muddy. Very tight fast sound for all types of music. The best for me is listening to acoustic unplugged style albums such as Sarah McLachlan , Norah Jones and the like.- this versions comes with coiled Cable and isn't interchangeable. Unfortunate. I prefer straight cable without coil. That is my only negative feedback for this particular headphones.I can't say enough how amazing these sound for the price. Highly recommended from me.
