Beyerdynamic DT990 PRO Open Dynamic Studio 250 Ohm Headphones

Product Information

As the exclusive UK distributor to some of the world’s top brands, you can trust that our products are authentic and direct from the manufacturer. The pads felt hard at first but after just a couple of hours of use, they became more comfortable. Combined with light weight of the unit, they are nice to wear. One other thing to consider is that the ribbed outer body of the ear cups let sound seep through its gaps – the ‘semi’ open design will share your playlist publicly if you choose to take these on your travels. 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.

Soft ear pads and adjustable, sliding, earpieces together with a very flexible coiled cable ensure listening comfort during extended periods of use.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.

The cups are round and large making for easy fit not only around your ears but also the measurement gear. I have never had a headphone so easy to mount on my fixture to measure. but I can hardly find anything on the internet about the dt990 80 ohms. my preference is actually for this one because then I don't have to spend that much money on a dac / amp. but i'm afraid the 80 ohm sound quality is much lower than the 250 ohm 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.

And the hd-650? They clamp like crazy, I couldn't wear these for over 10 minutes, really uncomfortable. The hd-650 sounded like the 990's if someone put an equalizer on them that turned down every frequency past 3khz down 3-6db.
