beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO Over-Ear Wired Studio Headphones (Black)

This headphone is so perfect! I play games - valorant mainly- and the imaging on these headsets are TOP NOTCH , it’s been a few days since I’ve received it and my hs% rose quite significantly (from 25% to 32%) and it’s pretty affordable compared to other premium headphones , this is definitely worth the price tag and the design is so comfortable that I can sit for hours without any headaches/neck pain , the soft cushions and headrest allow the product to fit any head shape (also can be adjusted height wise) , functionality wise the headset excels at what it does , not just for gaming but for music/video watching too! After playing back some songs I listen to regularly I was able to hear certain segments which I couldn’t hear previous on my previous headset.The wire is nicely coiled up and is very stretchy so I can move around freely without any worry.Overall: 9.8/10Price: 9/10Functionality: 9.9/10Comfort: 10/10DO NOTE THE 250 OHM VERSION REQUIRES A DAC/AMP. I am currently using a Audio interface (Scarlett solo 3rd gen) though it’s not as powerful as an amp it gets the job done perfectly.

* The DT 900 Pro is immediately more 'fun' to listen to than the HD 560S for music. They are not geared toward an analytical listening experience, in comparison.* Upper mids are less forward than the HD 560S, which is a detriment for comp gaming, but better for musicality depending on taste.* Bass is beefier than the HD 560S, which is great for experiential gaming and music.* The soundstage is narrower compared to the HD 560S. You know you're wearing headphones with these cans; the enclosures aren't as open, thus less 'airy', and are a touch veiled in comparison to the HD 560S.* They're heavier than the ultra-light HD 560s, but the clamp and plush pads mitigate that. It doesn't really feel much heavier. The plush pads are particularly comfy, but I prefer over-ear nature of the HD 560S compared to the on-ear of 900 Pro.* I had a particularly hard time playing Warzone 2.0 with these. Certain weapon gunfire frequencies shredded my ears compared to the HD 560S, which is because of the sharp 6kHz peak that the 900 Pro exhibit, which climbs rapidly from a comparatively recessed midrange. Not pleasant.* Furthermore, the added bass and 'stuffier' presentation overall just wasn't ideal for keeping player locations coherent, unless I applied EQ.My conclusion won't be a surprise: the DT 900 Pro are going back. They are admittedly more fun for music, but the less-open nature, extra bass, and treble spikes, are sub-optimal for competitive gaming. Plus, personally, I love the flat, analytical presentation of the HD 560S for music, so I'm happy to hand back the fun.

Build material is good ....wire is coiled and quality of wire is decent. Very comfortable and seems disappear on ears after few minutes.Sound qualityBass ... very nice respone in bass .... can hear proper texture of bass.....not warm and not so rigid...... specially it can respond good in low bass arround 40hz bit down in 20hz mark need equalization and above 40hz mark its good and responsive.Mids...... are refined can hear every detail of each part and can pin point the imperfections.....clarity in mids is good not as great as hd 650 and hd 660s.Highs ....... can say good but bit a catch.....it has spike arround 8khz and 13khz and can be equalize.Overall sound quality in compare to HD 650 is good where 650 lacks in bass a bit it has good respone in bass and good mids and decent highs.(highs are bit high but cleared not hurting ears)Overall has neutral sound near to flat.Under 15k these are best open back headphones for mixing and mastering and more than value for money spend on it.......just go for it no second thoughts i say......

This is the first time that I have bought a pair of studio grade headphones, and wow, I couldn't have asked for a better pair than these cans. The output is really clean, you can pinpoint the instruments in your mix. The bass is deep and balanced, but it kinda feels muddy at times. Also, the treble is somewhat sharp but it doesn't change the overall experience that much. Soundstage is pretty good and wide as well. Although it does leak a lot of sound being open back, but that doesn't bother me much as they're meant to stay in your studio and not to use while travelling and such. With that said, it allows a lot of outside noise in as well but they become barely noticeable or disappears completely if you're listening in a high enough volume. The clamping force isn't that high but enough to keep them on your head without falling. The cushion pads are really comfortable as well. You won't feel anything even if you wear it for hours.It's worth every penny I paid for it, and I'm reallly having a great experience.Definitely a buy if you're looking for a good pair of studio headphones to start with.

I have 2 DT990 250ohm purchased @ 2020 & 2024. Same headphones, but different sound signature (& different bayerdynamic logos). Older one is awesome. Later one is muddy, not so defined sound, thin sounding, muddy low end.Didn't expect this from a renowned company like Bayerdynamic.

As mixing and mastering engineer this is best headphones for great quality.
