beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO Over-Ear Studio Monitor Headphones - Open-Back Stereo Construction, Wired (80 Ohm, Grey)

Product Information

With its better bass output, the 80 Ohm version is better suited for listening for enjoyment. You’ll be getting more out of 80 Ohm while listening to music or gaming. And the hd-650? They clamp like crazy, I couldn't wear these for over 10 minutes, really uncomfortable. 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. 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.

Some people may enjoy genres like Jazz, RnB etc. on those because of the wide stereo space. As long as it doesn't have exaggerated cymbals, you may be fine. If you prefer deeper, more towards mid and bass range sound, avoid DT990 at all costs. Nevertheless, the DT 990 Pro 80 Ohm headphone still proved its worth with its quality, comfortability and reliability in its sound. We were surprised to find it even being capable of competing with the 250 Ohm version headphone.It makes it more comfortable and allows for a wider range of sizes that can fit its design. Other than that, it also has adjustable slides that make it simple to manage the position of the headphone.

Our Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 80 Ohm Headphones review will now give you the finer details of the product. With that being said, I love the by some considered sharp highs of the dt-990's, everything sounds crystal clear, not "muddy" or "washed out". I listen to a lot of vocals so that's a must for me. But as I said, it ain't for everybody since some might say the highs are over saturated, and they are, but it sounds nice. It's something I'm looking for in headphones, are you looking for that? If not steer away from these headphones. Cons: they might be too sharp for some and too tiring if used in long sessions. Other cons are the fact that you can really hear if a song is mixed/mastered like shit, you can hear everything. I'm not gonna say sh*t like :"you suddenly hear instruments that you previously didn't hear" if you suddenly heard an instrument that you didn't hear before on decent headphones that's on you. 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. Our DT 990 Pro 80 Ohm headphone is unique in its own way compared to its other siblings. Unlike the 250 Ohm version, the 80 Ohm allows for lower voltage requirements. This means that the headphones won’t be as demanding as the others. DT990 Pro revealed its full glory in this test. Horizontal and vertical space became filled with the joy of good sound. Of course, high frequencies are in front too. DT990 has simply too much of it. But at least it didn't hurt my ears. We've converted this review to Test Bench 1.6 , which updates how we measure latency. We've updated and renamed the following test groups: Wired Connection, Bluetooth Connection, and Wireless Connection (Dongle). We've also added new codec latency measurements and provided an audio sample of recorded latency.The Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 80 Ohm Headphone is a headphone that surpasses expectations of what it is expected to be. It’s made with the idea for professional use, but it opens up for more than just that. It brings quality and efficiency anywhere it goes. DT990 Pro are definitely better with non-electronic dance music genres if someone wants to buy these headphones for casual listening. Besides that, the 250 Ohm version is entirely built for professional studio mixing and recording. When using it, it provided better acoustic details, brighter tones and cleaner sound aspects. For the 80 Ohm version, it was lesser in its quality for accuracy and variety in sound.
