beyerdynamicDT 990 PRO Limited Black Edition Studio Headphones - 250 Ohm

As a music lover and avid gamer I spend a lot of time wearing headphones. Over the years I tried a wide range of headphones, earbuds and speakers.I can safely say that the Beyerdynamic DT 990's are the best headphones I have found to date. That good I purchased another pair when the band clamp broke on my first set. Only to find it was a common issue and stronger replacements were readily available at a reasonable price.I used to struggle with headaches and a feeling of built up pressure after prolonged headphone use. With these headphones which are nice and light, have soft and comfortable ear cups and an open back design this is no longer an issue.The cable is quite long however it doesn't seem to tangle.Very clear and concise sound quality and they also look great.

These are some of the BEST headphones for mixing and mastering, and even just producing and games. They are a good size and adjustable to fit any head size. The sound quality from these is incredible! The soundstage is super wide and clear, and as its open back, you can hear every little detail. They are super durable and comfortable with soft earcups that fit nicely around your ears without making you sweaty as they are fabric. The headband part is comfortable and I haven't noticed any discomfort from wearing these up to 8 hours per day. I've owned these for almost a year now and they are still as good as the day I got them. They have a strong build quality and great sound profile! The high frequencies are a bit loud but easily fixable and not painful. These are definitely worth the money and I couldn't recommend these enough

I just briefly tried them out on a Suzanne Vega album. The detail comes through very well, the bass is controlled and I would describe it as crisp and toneful. As a bassist myself, I can tell immediately that the bass was strung with round-wound strings. They seem comfortable to wear, but more time spent with them will be the real test. I'll update you in a little while. First impressions are that they are good headphones, especially for the price. I've had a few pairs in the past from some of the main brands like Sennheiser and Shure etc and these are the best yet.

The audio is impressively good... Compared to many headsets I have used it is probably one of the bests espcially considering the price.Only reason I am giving it a 4/5 is because the cable is long but I would much prefer a longer cable or atleast have the option to change it to a longer cable. And also because I don't think the ear cups of this are very good. Not as comfy as I expected but got some replacement for other headset that fit perfectly on this one for about twenty pounds, and this are now super comfortable and I can use it for many hours without any problem.Definetly recommended, just remember to get nice replacement earpads for them.

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.

I love these headphones, they're the best I've ever owned. Great sound and build quality, easy to use and lots of adjustment levels to cater for all head sizes. Easy to wipe clean when required. High impedance means pairing them with a DAC gives optimum sound volume and output. I would buy these again.

I received faulty headphones and the right channel was broken. The seller only had return option and I just wanted to replace them.When I tried to contact beyerdynsmic customer service the contact page on their website didn't work. So if I needed to use the warranty or needed any other support the only contact option is email. For that aspect I'd give 1/5.The sound in the left ear was good tho (flat as expected from studio headphones sound 5/5) and the headphones ok when it comes to the comfort of wearing them, I'd say 4/5 in that respect.The overall rating for my experience is 3/5 but I'd give it more if the customer service was better.
