Review on Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO: Premium Studio Monitor Headphones - Open-Back Stereo Design, Wired (80 Ohm, Grey) by Amber Ramos

Revainrating 4 out of 5

DT 990 Pro Limited Edition and Arctis Pro Wireless

Judging by sound quality alone, the Dt 990 pros always win. I play a lot of competitive first person shooters and hear footsteps much better with the DT 990 Pro. The headphones are lighter compared to others I've used like the Turtle Beach and Arctis Pro Wireless. But they are all comfortable. I would say that the DT 990 pro is a little more comfortable from the start and gets even more comfortable as you use it. They're both pretty well built (they should be a bit more expensive). With the DT 990 pro you will sound like you have speakers in your room playing in all directions, but with the Arctis Pro it will sound like everything is in your ears (but that's one of the main differences due to the open design of the DT) . 990 per compared to the closed back of the Arctis Pro Wireless.) The Arctis Pro Wireless is an all-in-one (decent sound, decent mic, good sound isolation, good Bluetooth connectivity). The DT 990 Pro is designed to target one area and that is sound. Give in most other aspects for the best sound and it doesn't disappoint. Depending on what you want from your headphones. Is the area where you play loud when you don't like other people around you who can hear what you're hearing. If that's true, it may be due to the closed headphones. If your only concern is how the game sounds, I would go for the DT 990 Pro. I mainly use mine for shooters like (Call of Duty, Apex, Fortnite) to name a few. With the DT 990 Pro it feels like someone is actually walking around my room when I hear footsteps. It's easier to tell how far away they are and where they are. I've been using Arctis Pro Wireless for years and have had trouble understanding how far away an enemy is from me. In general, your choice depends on what you need it for. I hope this review has helped some people trying to make up their mind.
