Beyerdynamic DT990 PRO Open Dynamic Studio 250 Ohm Headphones

Product Information

I don't know how they will work as mixing headphones (I'm still on holiday and too lazy to check) but I can already feel that a correction curve will be necessary to at least attenuate a bit of high frequencies. Besides cymbals like razors, high-frequency content didn't have good separation and it sounded like all cymbals are just one huge mess.

I do not like the way that metal brackets on both sides are attached to the head band (Mechatronics engineer's inner voice says - FLIMSAAY! Potrebbe essere così, ma con una buona amplificazione (consigliabile perchè la cuffia ha 250 ohm) questo effetto è minimo e il suono è piacevolissimo. 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! 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).

With the DT 900 PRO X, you get a mini-XLR input and an easy-to-repair design—which solves some of the biggest issues of the cheaper DT 990 PRO. 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!

The hd-650 sounded like the 990's if someone put an equalizer on them that turned down every frequency past 3khz down 3-6db. The build of these DT 990 PRO is almost entirely plastic, save for the metal band and yoke that suspends the ear cups.

It’s also easy to repair yourself and without any tools, making it a great option for eco-friendly consumers. I have these and they're my "I need audio at my computer and don't feel like wearing Audeze" headphones. It's not a big problem for stationary setups but please take in into account for portable intentions - they are not.

The sound of these headphones is perfect — it's flat and accurate, with presented and detailed low frequencies.

Outstanding tonal depth ensures that even small changes in the positioning of the acoustic source can be perceived while mixing.It’s not a problem if you’re plugging into an audio interface or computer, but not good news for smartphones or portable players. 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. At Thomann (a German retailer who sells worldwide), the DT 770 250 Ohm are selling for €122, DT 990 Edition for €159 (and DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm €122).

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. But you definitely hear if someone didn't bother cleaning up the samples he used in his song, and you might need different headphones or speakers to enioy songs that are badly mixed. If you’re going to be at the desk for a long period of time, Beyerdynamic’s standard design strategy of using large, velour-wrapped ear pads and a relatively light chassis will help keep your neck from fatigue. They mention that the mids are clean and crisp, the highs cut through and that they provide a vast frequency response from bass to treble.Alas, fixing the high frequency peaks and levels by eye killed that aspect and still left the nastiness that was in there at times.
