Review on Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO Open Studio Headphones - High-Quality Sound for Professionals by Ojasvi Sharma ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent product, the best quality.

Definitely the best model in its price range. If you like to listen mainly to rock and electronics - then take it without hesitation!) IMHO - the only competitors in this class are DT 770/880Pro and Sennheiser HD600/650 (which are much more expensive). These headphones have huge sound potential, so the better the source and amplification, the better they will play. My system is a Pioneer PD-S604 CD player > Levz 0-15F DAC > Laconic HA-06 amplifier > DT990 Pro. In this combination, the HF range softens, the brain no longer cuts out anything, the sound becomes more even, which is actually what is needed). Laconic HA-06 and DT990 Pro are just made for each other =D In general, these are excellent inexpensive high-end headphones, their main advantage is a great sound. If you have more money, then I advise you to compare it with the HD650, but this is already a matter of taste =).

Pros
  • 1) Sound. The most magnificent stage (which you simply will not find in other headphones of this price category), the sound does not merge into a mess, very high detail, but there is no feeling that each instrument plays separately, everything is very clear and collected. Powerful and beautiful bass, but not oppressive, as it happens in other headphones. 2) Design and assembly. The case is very durable, the headphones sit quite comfortably on the head, largely due to the very comfortable velor ear pads. 3) Price. They fully work out every penny, I took them for 7990, but I am ready to pay much more).
Cons
  • You need an amplifier (250 ohms after all). Not universal. One feels a failed middle, which makes classical music and vocals not sound very impressive, and strongly raised high frequencies, which, for example, on low-quality recordings or digitization of vinyl, are very hard on the ear (but this is curable =). This feature can also be attributed to a plus, because sometimes it only adds drive and richness to the sound, but not always.

They sound decent, compared to the Shenheiser 590 more detailed sound.
