For added convenience, the headphones comprise a one-sided cable. So, you can wear or remove them without any tangling issues. Sound I've had quite a few headphones over the years for computer usage (Netflix, Youtube and gaming and of course since this year Zoom calls). When my last pair broke because of poor building quality I just decided I needed a more decent pair. Also I wanted to use them for more quiet bass sessions. I never had a pair that could actually handle the sound of my bass well. So I figured, Studio headphones should do. My other impression was that I don't hear any more stereo space in these headphones than in DT770, which is ridiculous as 770 are closed and 990 are open. I should be able to hear a huge difference.

They are one of the most comfortable headphones with a cushioned headband, and large ear cups. The ear cups are covered with a soft and plush material. If you prefer a tight fitting, you may find the clamping force a little weak. I wouldn't recommend DT990 Pro for casual listening. Most of your favourite songs may be unbearable to listen to. Besides that, as long as you can still hear a high frequency range up to 16kHz as I do, this part of the spectrum will be always taking the space and in front position.

How does the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO sound?

The single-sided cable allows the headphones to be put on and taken off frequently without cables getting tangled, and soft, adjustable ear cups provide for added comfort. The robust spring steel headband design ensures that the over-ear headphones also offer a secure fit. Difference Compared ToThe DT 990 Edition Version The second test was with a variety of genres, from Jazz to Ambient, Pop, 80's etc. Here's where "the fun" started. I tried a bunch of reference music for audiophiles out of curiosity (I'm not one of them!). The soundstage is wide and the instrumental separation is great. Therefore, Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro is good for gaming, studio recording, and casual use. In simpler words, if you want clear and beautifully transcending highs, and decent lows, you should definitely buy these headphones. Noise Isolation I used the LP-phone-amp-g103 to drive all of these headphones so there shouldn't be any issues with the amp. The headphones are neither too expensive nor too affordable. However, we bet you won’t get such brilliant headphones at such an affordable price.

Several years ago we reviewed and tested Sonarworks Headphone Calibration Softwareusing a set of KRK 8400, which came from Sonarworks with an individual calibration profile. The Headphone Calibration component in Reference and Systemwide software works in a similar way to the main Speaker Calibration section. Both aim to provide flat frequency response in monitoring, but unlike speakers, the user doesn’t have the means to measure the response of headphones. However, the good news is that Sonarworks offer several solutions to this:Sonarworks are currently offering 35% off a number of Beyerdynamic headphones with or without software and calibration. Until 25th February 2020, these particular headphones are available to buy direct from Sonarworks for €189 for the headphones only or €268 for the individual calibration bundle., which means you can get a calibrated pair for less than a normal pair. And well they do. I use them daily for the computer usage I described earlier. For a while I took them to school which they handled perfectly. They're sturdy with a metal frame but just light enough that long time wearing is still comfortable. The headphones with a circumaural design comprise a flexible headband with soft padding and mushy ear pads for a comfort-filled listening experience. The ear cups are large. The ear pads feel velvety and plush. We did not experience any sweating issues as we tested the headphones during the colder months; however, you may experience heating issues in summers. The headband that connects both the ear cups is mostly spring steel and the ear cups are made of plastic. Nevertheless, the plastic is sturdy and premium-quality. Comfort: 5 stars - Pretty fluffy ear cups. I wear glasses and my deal breaker is that the headphones do not press my ears too hard against the frame of the glasses. I do however fear that during summer the ear cups will be a bit too warm. However, if you regularly have lengthy listening sessions to your music, you will appreciate the work Beyerdynamic has put into their build: (replaceable) grey velour ear pads epitomise comfort, fitting snugly around your ears, while gently clasping your head with the right amount of snugness.

ohms impedance for studio applications thanks to their transparent, spacious, strong bass and treble sound Average Headphone Calibration:Sonarworks provides a good list of average headphone calibration profiles that represent a general response curve characteristic for many popular headphone models. These are easy to use and do give n improved listing experience, but as these average profiles are only a broad representation, they do fall short of providing Reference with the best possible starting point compared to using individual calibrations. For a long time I had T60RP, this is an isodynamic driver, it can play very loudly, respectively, bass and sub-bass are reproduced very well, on a large scale, but all other frequencies seem to sound narrower than bass. Perhaps one of the defining features of the DT990s are the over-ear, padded velour ear pads which provide superior comfort for longer mixing and mastering sessions. As with all beyerdynamic professional studio headphones, the DT 990 PRO headphones are handcrafted in Germany. The materials and component parts used are made by hand and can be replaced if necessary. SpecificationsIn conclusion, the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro Headphones are suitable for solo listening as they do not offer noise isolation, and non-competitive gaming. The headphones are also great for bass-heavy music. We do not recommend these headphones for travel or outdoor use. Connectivity The Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro Headphones come with a 3.5 mm connector and 1/4″ adapter. There are fundamentally two differences between the models. Firstly, the Edition models have a softer headband for enjoying music at home whereas the PRO headset has a slightly firmer fit. Secondly, the Edition models come equipped with a straight cable whereas the PRO models come with a coiled cable. Made InGermany
