VERY COMFY, HIGH QUALITY SOUND, GREAT VALUE
By Alec F (avreview.co.uk) Read the full review
I'm delighted with the DT990; they come quite close to many of the best qualities of the DT880s (details, soundstaging) but are not as ruthless or demanding in terms of partering equipment, and suit my system better. Also great value cause you can get...
Mucho comfortable - lovely velour earcushions. Nice soundstage. Very good detail. Smooth and unfatiguing sound. Strong bass.
Tonally a bit dark - avoid partnering with a dark or slow source/amp. Very revealing of poor sources, though more forgiving than the DT880s.

I use this to mix\/master in my home studio as an alternative to my reference speakers. Despite spending $1000 or so on speakers, my room still colors the sound a bit and I know that my mixes get too much treble boost from them. These are excellent as...

Beyerdynamic DT 990 Headphones Review - Intro
By Mark Brezinski (headphoneinfo.com)
Beyerdynamic recently rereleased a bunch of headphones under their MANUFAKTUR program, which allows you to tweak the headphones' coloration, impedance, cord style, and other features. The DT 990s were one set of headphones that got this rerelease. ...
The DT 990s are a great set of headphones. They had great audio quality and the option to redecorate these via MANUFAKTUR is just plain cool. We implore Beyerdynamic to keep expanding the range of options users can fiddle with to customize their...
Our own creative greediness aside, our sincerest "bravo" goes out to Beyerdynamic for this feature. All this aside, the DT 990s have some serious fit issues and are pretty expensive. The DT 990s are great for people who like good audio quality and...

Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO Headphones Review - Intro
By Mark Brezinski (headphoneinfo.com)
The DT 990 PRO headphones are a set of over-ears from Beyerdynamic. The DT 990 PPROs are open-backed headphones, which literally means the back of the ear cups aren't totally covered with plastic. Open-back headphones make your playback to sound like...
Look nice, seem durable, have open-backs ; Flat frequency response, very low distortion ; Comfortable, won't slide around a lot, long cord ; They're top of the line but not overpriced
Big headphones look silly on some people ; Open-backed headphones can't venture outside ; Not much in the way of frills, won't disassemble easily ; They could cost a bit less, but otherwise, no complaints
We're totally sold on the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PROs. These things have a great sound, excellent sound quality, are very comfortable, and have a long cord. The giant, open-backed cups give a very immersive soundstage. We also think they look good as...
The DT 990 PROs have an MSRP of$300, but you should be able to find them around $260 online. Section

Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO
By Mark Brezinski (washingtonpost.com)
The DT 990 PRO headphones are a set of open-backed over-ears from Beyerdynamic. Open-backed headphones don't have a solid layer of plastic covering the outside of the ear cups. This featurewill give your music an open, airy quality, more like you have...
The DT 990 PROs had great performance results, barring the poor isolation and leakage caused by its open-backed design. They had an incredibly even frequency response, which will be great for purists who don't want their headphones adding their own...
The downside to open backs is poor isolation and leakage control. If you're looking for headphones to use on the go, the DT 990 PROs aren't for you. The DT 990 PROs are well-suited for a quiet indoor location, however. They have a long, coiled cord and...
