    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 a way to tell what's actually going on with incredible clarity. Read more

    I have been using these headphones for the past 2 months. Here are my observations about DT 990 Pro. Design: DT 990 Pro are Rock-solid. I mean that literally. The headband is of actual steel. But yet comfortable enough to be worn whole day long without you realizing wearing it. The wire is flexible and long enough - a bit heavy if you are used to the light wire of street-style headphones.

    After a pair of DT 550's in the late 80's (stolen...boo) I went through a variety of headphones without ever finding anything so satisfactory again. Budget Sennies are great but their more expensive cans don't seem much better - and tend to be very uncomfortable due to too much pressure. So eventually it was back to Beyer and the DT990s. If anything, not quite as neutral as the old 550s but so powerful, refined and accomplished. Read more or see product

Future Music magazine, September 2010: Beyerdynamic are no strangers to the professional audio scene, so you’d be forgiven for expecting a lot from these cans. The DT990 Pros are open-backed, meaning they leak sound quite a bit, but they make up for it in their incredible stereo detail as well as their crisp and tight mid and high response. They are bright but not harsh, thick but not cloudy, warm but also sincere, and in terms of comfort they are a joy to wear for lo…
