DT 990 PRO Limited Black Edition Open-Back Studio Headphones 80 Ohm

The comfort that these headphones provide after breaking them in for a few days is unreal, the audio quality is also crisp, with a more "fun" tone, however for streaming purposes, the open-backed design is optimal, allowing you to head your own voice more easily whilst speaking, and providing a simplistic yet optimal solution for such purposes. The build quality also justified the potentially off-putting price too, with a sturdy and robust construction with a central metal headband surrounded with an easily detachable faux leather buttoned cover. This allows for maintenance over time and for repairs if needed, defying an otherwise common practice of planned obsolescence and disruption of right-to-repair. Finally, the cable itself is very high quality, and is rather long, ensuring that it will not become an issue, whilst also seemingly being resistant to tangling and interference. The headphones weight is relatively average, perhaps on the heavier side, however once the headphones have been broken in, you almost forget you are wearing them. I use these headphones for a mixture of gaming and music listening, and i can easily say that they perform extremely well for both applications. I have been able to hear the smallest details whilst gaming with ease (such as otherwise hard-to-notice distance footsteps), and have also been able to hear small details whilst listening to music in much the same manner. Overall, I can easily recommend these headphones to anyone looking for a quality product, however I will mention that for the best experience listening, an audio interface / amplifier is recommended to reach comfortable levels at high quality. This is not as much of an issue with the 80ohm variant as with the 250ohm variant, however it should still be considered regardless.

I was drawn to these as you see they have been extremely popular in the content creator space. I have not been let down, the sound clarity & quality has been great, they are comfy and the design is such that you could remove the cans and customise them if you wish. They have stood up to being knocked around somewhat so the durability is good too.

These headphones offer a balanced and accurate sound profile, making them ideal for critical listening tasks such as mixing, mastering, and editing. One of the standout features of the DT 990 Pro is its open-back design, which provides a spacious soundstage and increased comfort during extended sessions, so you don't get the sweaty feeling The build quality of the headphones is impressive, with durable materials used throughout. The adjustable headband and plush ear cushions ensure a comfortable fit for most head sizes. In terms of sound performance, the DT 990 Pro excels in delivering crisp highs, detailed midrange, and tight bass response. The sound signature is relatively neutral, with a slight emphasis on the treble frequencies, making these headphones well-suited for analytical listening. I use steelseries sonar for gaming, so I can adjust these and get the exact sound I want, but to be fair out of the box they are fine. However, it's worth noting that the open-back design also means these headphones lack isolation from external noise, which may not be suitable for use in noisy environments or for individuals who prefer privacy during their listening sessions. Probably wouldn't use them on the commute.

These are great headphones with very wide sound stage, but if you want a more accurate pair of headphones you might want to spend a little extra and get the DT900 Pro X. It depends also on the type of music and what your using them for, if you want a pair of headphones for listening to music that has a lot going on like classical music, the DT990 Pro are better suited or if your a musician wanting that wide sound stage they're great for placing your sounds. If you plan on not just mixing your music but mastering aswell then the DT900 Pro X are better for this. The DT900 Pro X have slightly less sound stage its like they are a semi closed back headphone compared to DT990 Pro. Both types of headphones are really great in there own way, would recommend both models.

These are without doubt the comfiest headphones I've ever worn and the sound quality is really good but the bass and volume were just too low for me so they was returned. Always wanted to try some wired headphones as they're supposed to have superior sound quality but unlike bluetooth headphones that have apps to adjust things unless you have lots of equipment to be able to adjust the EQ and stuff you've no way of adjusting things if your just using them for listening from a phone like i was looking to do. Looked into trying a headphone amp but didn't really want to keep spending additional money on the chance of improving things.

Really clear sound and comfortable.

I always use to get the like 'gaming' headsets which cost about the same and honestly I'm shocked with how much money I wasted because the dt990s are the highest quality and best sounding headphones I've ever heard even compared to the 200 quid headsets I've bought before which were just overpriced junk honestly just save your money get yourself this and a stand alone mic because these sound amazing with a large soundstage and are surprisingly easy to drive with my PC and a stand alone mic will always sound brtter than the little plastic nubben on headsets Aswell the open back design and being able to hear myself is actually quite a nice quality of life change just ensuring I'm not being too loud or being able to talk to someone whilst they're in it might not be for everyone but I can only assume the close backed dt770s are just as good for people who prefer that design

Beyerdynamic are the best headphones in the price range. For those that aren’t familiar with this make … 770 series are Closed Back, 880 are Semi Open and the 990 series are Fully Open Back. They very comfortable to wear for long listening sessions. I like the Fully Open back as it gives a more Spacious sound. For the Non-Technically minded, you should know that (which ever series) … … headphones with a high ohm number need more power e.g. 990 series with 600 ohms are better for use with a hi-fi Amp or a Mixer Desk. The lower values e.g 80 ohms or lower are best suited to Music Player (MP3 etc.) and iPhones etc. High value ohms will still work with MP3 / iPhones etc. but they will just not be as loud. Some models have a “coiled cable” ( e.g. 990 pro) and others a “straight cable” (2m long). - Check it out. Are they good ? Yep :)
