beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO Limited Black Edition Open-Back Headphones 250 Ohm

Okay so I started researching headphones a while ago and being new to the whole "how much for those cans??!!" market, I was sceptical of how much of a difference they would make and nervous about which ones to get. Short review line is, these are excellent. Job done, you can go now. Not satisfied? Well I've tested them out against my 5.1 Logitech z906 speakers which are running on an optical connection (worth noting that the DT990s are running from a Creative Labs G5 dac). In games the bass on the headphones is incredible. Cannon fire in World of Warships woke me up and not because it was loud but just because I'd never heard such a boom before. I've also been testing this on music (not an audiophile so bear with me here) and having just ran Masterchef Synesthesiaby by Swede Mason through both, one after the other, the sound was distinctive. I get why people say these cans aren't for bass heads after this test, not that it's from a lack of bass on the cans but because it's airy. The speakers delivered a wall of sound which I felt as much as heard and the result was the bass was powerful but messy. I couldn't tell one bass line from another. With the DT990s I can tell which bass line is doing what without any effort whatsoever but it doesn't assault my head with a rumble designed to make soup of my brain (that's both an advantage and a disadvantage in my book). I can say however that the bass isn't lacking. Spread Your Love doesn't have quite the dirty bass I'm used to. Keine Lust comes through nice and punchy (as I've just found out, ensure you have that dac set to direct audio or you're wasting the potential of these cans) but unlike most headphones, iems and speakers I've tried this track on, I can separate the guitars perfectly, even in the busy chorus. Now, for build quality, these feel excellent. I've broken many headsets in my time and the only ones to last have been a pair of Sennheiser PC323Ds which these DT990s are replacing. I've got confidence that these cans will last a good long while. They're solid and feel like they're going to be heavy but really aren't when they're on your head. As for fit, I have an inordinately large cranium (stop giggling!) and they fit fine. Firm clamping force fresh out of the box. Nothing uncomfortable. Does feel a little warm around my head but I'm more of a cold weather guy and it's been up to 26c in front of my pc the last couple of nights so I'm putting it down to that. Accessories wise, you get the necessary and no more. The jack adaptor seems robust and well made (the threads on the screw joint into the 3.5mm work fine, which is usually the test of a decent engineer), the bag is nothing special and there's nothing else in the box. If you like rock music from System of a Down to AC/DC and Queen Adreena, I'd say you can buy with confidence. As a parting note, I'm listening to Midlife Crysis by Faith no More as I write this and not only am I finding new pieces of the music that I can enjoy, the bass is there like I've never heard before. It's no longer a background of continual growl without much rhythm but specific notes! I am very impressed with these cans (as you can probably tell). Now all I'm left wondering at is what you'd get for the £2k cans and above? If this is the lower end of the range then call me a philistine and leave me happy here.

These DT 990 PROs are honestly some of the best headphones I’ve ever used — especially for the price. If you’re into music, gaming, or just love great sound, you’ll probably love these too. First off, they’re super comfy. The ear pads are soft and feel great, even during long sessions. I can wear them for hours without my ears hurting or feeling too warm. They're big, but not in a bad way — more like a cozy cloud for your head. As for the sound quality — wow. The audio is super clear and detailed. The bass is strong but not overpowering, the highs are crisp, and everything feels nicely spaced out. You can really hear all the little layers in your music or game. The open-back design makes the sound feel wide and natural — like you're sitting in a room with speakers, not just wearing headphones. They’re also built like a tank. Really solid and durable, not cheap plastic like a lot of other brands. Just keep in mind the cable is permanently attached, which might be a downside for some. One thing to note: these are the 250-ohm version, so they sound best with an amp or audio interface. They’ll still work with a phone or laptop, but they really shine when properly powered. Bottom line: If you're looking for headphones that sound amazing, feel great, and are built to last, the DT 990 PRO is a fantastic choice. Whether you’re gaming, mixing music, or just vibing to your favorite playlist — they won’t disappoint.

I cannot fault these cans in the slightest. I personally feel the black edition looks more modern than the standard grey version and blends in better with my current setup. The build of the headphones feels really premium, the headband cover is really smooth and the ear pads feel really nice on your ears. There is just the right amount of clamp on my head and there are also no annoying “pokey” bits that press into your head, even when wearing glasses. My overall impression of the build quality is great, in fact sometimes I forget they’re on my head and the feel of the pads sometimes makes me just want to wear them regardless if I’m using them or not. I think however that the cable could have been coiled like the grey edition as it’s better for cable management. The sound quality is amazing, the best part of the product. I’m not an audiophile in anyway but have no complaints about either the power or the quality of the sound. I use these cans for both music and gaming, along with a pre-amp for full utilisation of the cans. I’m often impressed with the audio delivery when playing games and couldn’t game without them. I enjoy a lot of bass from my headphones, these cans deliver a high bass but it’s balanced well with the rest of the sound, as it doesn’t output too high on the bass levels as what some reviews seem to claim. I use a pre-amp with these cans as it’s impedance is 250 ohms, so they do require powering up more to deliver higher levels. Another great thing about these headphones is that pretty much all the parts of them is replaceable by Beyerdynamic so if anything does break you can just buy that part again; really convenient. I’d give these a 10/10 for someone who likes rich gaming and music sounds.

Fantastic sound quality, terrible head band. For reference my current setup is running the headphones through the headphone amp on my Soundblaster ZxR. I have a pair of AKG K550 which are good quality but very flat. I also own a couple of pairs of Sennheiser headsets: The 360 and the game one, both have pretty good sound quality but are still a bit flat, although not nearly as much as the AKG K550. All 3 sets pale in comparison to the Beyer 990s for films, music and games. The bass and treble are both excellently reproduced with these headphones. If you are watching a film you might find yourself looking around the room when a truck goes past as the depth of the bass is so good, but not at all overpowering. Likewise the treble is very snappy and harsh sounds like bullets snapping by soldiers and tires screeching sound as unpleasant as they would in the flesh. It's also quite impressive how they will pick out a lof of the ambient noises in TV and film so you can hear bits of background conversations that would normally just sound like noise. In terms of music genres I listen to rock, metal, hip hop, drum and bass and most likely a few genres I can't think of right now. The Beyers work well in all of them and I'm genuinely surprised at being able to hear so much additional detail when none of my previous headphones/headsets were exactly cheap or bad. It's worth noting that these headphones are not overly bassy like some other headphones I can think of that are apparently popular because an artist put his name on them and added some metal weights so they feel "expensive" Sadly the headband is made of either real or fake leather that bunches ever so slightly due to the bend of the headband and digs into your head. I don't know why Beyer didn't use the microfibre type material the ear cups are made of as that's really comfortable and works very well on other sets of headphones I own. I'm currently looking at making my own head band strip as the current one starts to become quite unpleasant after a couple of hours of wear. I'd say it is really inexcusable for headphones costing this much to have such a band headband and if the sound quality wasn't so impressive I would have sent them back. It's also worth noting that the headband suffers from falling apart from moisture after a year or so, it's discussed a lot online and would explain why a replacement is so readily available. Shame Beyer don't sell a replacement made out of comfortable material.

Absolutely over the moon with these gaming headset super comfy fabulous quality

The Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO Limited Black Edition headphones have been an absolute game-changer for me, offering an unparalleled audio experience that I hadn't realized was possible until I put them on. From the deep, immersive bass to the crystal-clear highs, every note, every beat, every intricate layer of sound is rendered with such precision and clarity that it feels like being front and center at a live concert. The comfort level of these headphones is unmatched. The soft, circumaural velour ear pads and the padded headband allow for hours of comfortable use without any of the discomfort that usually comes with long gaming sessions or music marathons. The open diffuse field studio design not only provides excellent playback precision but also adds a depth to the audio experience that closed headphones simply can't match. Being an avid gamer and an occasional music producer, I found these headphones to be perfect for both worlds. The open-back design offers a wide soundstage that is ideal for gaming, making it easier to pinpoint where sounds are coming from in a virtual environment. And when it comes to music production, the exceptional pulse behavior and playback precision mean you can hear every detail in the mix, ensuring your tracks are just as you intended them to be. However, to get the most out of the 250 Ohms version, a DAC is indeed necessary. Pairing these headphones with the GOXLR has been a revelation, providing not just the needed power but also the flexibility to tweak the sound to my exact liking. Now, for the twist in the tale – my cat, apparently a budding audiophile or perhaps just a cable connoisseur, decided that the smooth, 3-meter cable was too tempting to resist. One moment I was lost in the immersive soundscapes of my favorite game, and the next, I was yanked back to reality by the sight of my cat chomping down on the cable. While it's a testament to Beyerdynamic's service-friendly construction that I could easily replace the cable, it's also a reminder that no matter how perfect your setup, it's no match for a curious cat.

From my amateur perspective, one of the best headphones i've had on my head. Im using them paired with Fiio E10k. I still prefer listening music on mine M100's purely for their more fun sound signature, but those are MUCH more comfortable for long gaming sessions - ears can breath freely and You can hear Your surroundings, which may be good or bad. Sound on 990's is very clear and airy, with wide soundstage, but not exhausting - i've heard many opinions that those have ear piercing trebles, but must disagree. Treble is indeed highlighted, but not overbearing. Sound signature feels much more natural compared to V-moda M100's, and much more detailed despite less condensed soundstage (compared to closed headphones) Bass obviously lack compared to closed construction, BUT is still present and its very satisfying. In fact its impressive bass considering their much wider soundstage and more detailed sound, just not as prominent as on M100's. Build quality is excellent, those legends about german engineering are not joke! Frame is made from metal, cups have high quality plastic, and pads feels like cut down clouds. Really, i've never felt so much comfort wearing headphones. Clamping force is less than on M100's but still good enough to stay on my head. In conclusion, im in love with those, overall best headphones i've ever had, and dont plan to change for many, many years.

Was a little disappointed with the 990 in that when compared my dt 550 from 1987 they did not sound like they were worth the investment. Compared to the dt 550 the sounded a little constraint and slow. The 550 are fast , a little more bass and not so thin in the highs. For this reason I decided to return

Amazing product. Meets all my needs. And is mega comfortable.

Uso queste Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm insieme alla mia Audient iD4 MK2 e al microfono Rode PodMic XLR, e si sono rivelate un’ottima scelta. Il suono è molto aperto e dettagliato: bassi equilibrati, medi chiari e alti brillanti (a volte un po’ spinti, ma facilmente gestibili con una leggera equalizzazione). La scena sonora è ampia e precisa, perfetta per ascolto critico, editing audio e musica. Il comfort è eccellente: i pad in velluto sono morbidi e non scaldano, e la costruzione è solida come ci si aspetta da Beyerdynamic. Con la iD4 MK2 vengono pilotate senza problemi: la scheda ha abbastanza potenza per farle rendere molto bene.

Casque de référence dans cette gamme de prix il va taquiner des casques coûtant plusieurs fois son prix sans problème. Je l'ai possèdé en 250 ohm pro, 32 ohms premium et 600 ohms premium et maintenant en 250 ohm pro limited édition. Bref c'est un casque que l'on regrette une fois vendu et je suis revenu et je ne compte plus le vendre. Grave présent mais qui ne prend pas le dessus c'est hyper rapide et défini. Médium au top très défini et aéré. Aigu incisif et détaillé. Spatialisation très ouverte et large ça respire. Confort au top comme d'habitude chez beyer un peu plus de clamping que les versions premium mais ça reste très tres confortable. Ce casque existe depuis un peu plus de 35 ans c'est un casque qui ne se démode pas et c'est une preuve que c'est un excellent casque. Il coûtait plus de 400e à l'époque. Bref c'est du moyen haut de gamme à prix d'ami il surpasse sur pas mal de point un HD600 et HD650 si on adhère à sa sonorité qui est fun et typé hi-fi, il peut même rivaliser sur certains points avec un hd800 par exemple. C'est le casque fun de la gamme beyer. Le dt880 que je possède aussi est ultra neutre Dt770 est plus fun que le dt880 mais moins que le Dt990 sauf pour la version 80 ohm mais on perd en spatialisation pour le dt770. Je possède comme casque akg k702, dt880 600 ohms, hd600 et HD650 de sennheiser, hd598, dt770 80 ohms, sr125 grado, Philips fidelio x2, msr7 audio technica, sennheiser momentum m2 over ear, flc8, audio technica ckr9 et d'autres que j'ai vendu Donc le Dt990 est dans le top 3 de mes meilleurs casques si pas mon préféré. Ça sonne façon analytique mais c'est fun ça tape bien quand il le faut il y a du grave et des aigus et même du médium même si moins poussé que sur un sennheiser pour le médium ça reste ultra cohérent et hyper détaillé, aéré et plaisant à écouter en tout temps. Une valeur sure, vous pouvez l'acheter les yeux fermés :)
