There’s no denying that the DT 990 PRO is a classic pair of headphones well suited for audio producers and music lovers alike. They present exceptional spaciousness and detailed tonal depth, they are like good-sounding pillows for your ears. Highly suited for mixing, they are one of the best studio headphones on the market at this price point.

RAGHAV SOMANI

For less than $200, it's not hard to understand why these are considered by many to be a classic pair of cans for audio producers and music lovers alike.
They sound great and reproduce instruments and vocals accurately. They sound a little sharp on brighter tracks, but they actually pack a lot of bass for an open back model.
The DT 990's are the most comfortable of all the headphones I own. They are lightweight and the earpads are soft. Anyone who listens to older Classical should add these headphones to collection.

Our Verdict

There’s no denying that the DT 990 PRO is a classic pair of headphones well suited for audio producers and music lovers alike. They present exceptional spaciousness and detailed tonal depth, they are like good-sounding pillows for your ears. Highly suited for mixing, they are one of the best studio headphones on the market at this price point.

I'd be lying if I said, I'm not a little biased towards Planar Magnetic headphones. HiFiMAN has managed to make great sound more accessible to the masses with the HE400se.

Sennheiser has skillfully designed an almost perfect pair of studio monitors, the HD 560S. These headphones deliver a flat bass response, a neutral and uncoloured midrange, extended treble with a subtle emphasis on the lower treble to unveil mastering flaws. Additionally, they are easy to drive and exhibit impressive soundstage and imaging qualities.

Very good professional headphone

I am an audio professional and I use these headphones for sound designing and mixing. I can say these headphones have an almost flat frequency response with very good transients and punchy bass. I use them with my Audient audio interface which can power these very well. I use Sonarworks Sound ID to further make the freq. response even flatter.

Thanks for the review, we're glad to hear that you're happy with the DT 990 Pro!

The king of clarity and sound stage at this budget

The sound quality is top notch. I am a user of Jabra, Harman kardon, shure, audio technica, final, senheisser and bose. I love audio like anything so when I say 990 pro is a God level headphone, trust me. A few people claim it has no bass but trust me it has v deep and extended bass. To me more bass than this will substantially reduce other frequencies and hence affect clarity. The bass is sufficient. Further enhancement can be done using equilizer. One very very imp aspect: this is a 250 ohm impedance headphone. Very hard to drive. The volume would be too low. Literally it's 100% is equal to 40 % of my shure Aonic 250 IEM. So, an amp is a must to pair with 990 pro. It's the only drawback. Otherwise the sound is damn too gorgeous and grand to be available at such a low price point. The chord is v sturdy. Tangle free and v strong. I combined it with BTR7 (a 15k dac and amp) and after that also 100% vol is loud enough for a silent room but in noisy places vol might still seem low. Hence, a powerful dac and amp is a must with this. If u r a audio lover and u can spend extra bucks for dac and amp, u will dead shot love this German made master peace. A lovely headphone for audiophiles. Also please give a few hours of time to open up and sound freely with maximum driver output.
