Review: Great, but need burn-in. - I have had my DT990 250ohm headphones for over a month now, and they have roughly 100-150 hours on them. I listen to my headphones all day long, as I am an online student. I bought them to replace my Sony MDR-7506's which I am still very happy with. When I first plugged them into my uDAC-2 and listened to them, I was massively disappointed. I mean DEVASTATED. I HATED them. They sounded muffled, distant and completely lacking any dynamics. I went back to my Sony's to compare, and I immediately wished I could turn back time. The Sony's sounded far better, clearer and more engaging. Figuring I was going to need to sell them, I let the DT990's burn-in for the rest of the day to make sure. In the next few hours I started noticing that everything sounded pretty decent. I wondered if it was more my ears getting used to the sound, so I popped my Sony's on again to compare. I actually preferred the 990's now. Over the next few days it only got better, and now there is simply no comparison at all. The Beyerdynamics are far superior, and sound great. I am very confused with the terms people are using to describe these headphones, like 'bright.' I cannot for the life of me understand what these people are talking about. These are not too bright, or harsh in any way. Perhaps some people have very sensitive ears, I don't really know. The bass is incredibly deep and powerful, and the mids are pretty good. Admittedly, the mids are a tad recessed, a product of the scoop shaped EQ that these headphones come with. For me though, the way that they engage you in the music with their clarity and bass makes up for it. You will really enjoy listening to these. The uDAC-2 was more than enough to power these, but my PC alone could not do it. They were much too quiet without an amplifier. The ability to hear outside noises is better than a noise-canceling type headphone, but with the volume up is still quite encapsulating. The sound coming out from them at high levels is definitely audible, but not obnoxious. At mid-low volume they are almost silent. The comfort is insane, they go completely over your ear and you forget you're wearing them. I thought my Sony's were comfortable, but now the way that they are 'on' my ear is annoying. The Beyer's are just so comfortable, even after hours and hours of listening. I never experienced any fatigue at all from these, despite listening to them at very high levels for extended periods of time. They sound great with games, movies, TV, music, anything you throw at them. Overall, I just can find anything wrong with these headphones. They sound great, look great and feel great. If you can get an amp for them, I would say they are a no-brainer. Just a blast to listen to.
Review: O. M. G. - What just happened? - I got these after reading a Gazillion reviews and after just writing a review on another brand after my wife got me a pair of Sennheiser HD280's. These are simply on a completely different level! I don't really mean to wax poetic; but; Holy Guacamole Batman! Let's start with some basics... Shipping and Unboxing... As usual desertcart did an amazing job, got these to me in two days (don't have prime? What are you waiting for?!!!) The packing was well thought out, and quite clever I might say. the cans were positioned in a way that they would not jostle around. Nice! The headphones come in a very nice carrying case with more than adequate foam padding to ensure my precious babies don't get harmed ;) Look and feel... D.A.M.N. these cans eek quality, from the velour ear pads to the aluminum and high end plastic construction. They feel luxurious, are insanely comfortable and look amazing, if I might say so. My Sennheiser's look cheap and bland in comparison (still sound great though), these DT-990's look so good i am going to get stand to display them! That said, this is all about the sound though, isn't it? So let's get to that... These headphones are ridiculous, I will start off by stating publicly that I don't consider myself to be an "Audiophile" (too hispter for my tastes) I am just a music lover that has been listening to music for the past 45 years. I am an IT exec that was in his past a sound engineer and radio DJ. I know what kind of sound I like and I LOVE THE WAY these cans produce sound. I am beyond impressed and i haven't even waited for the burn in! The sound stage is greatly expanded. I know this sounds crazy, but it is almost like i am seeing the music instead of listening to it. Trust me, I sat in a darkened room, listening to remastered version of my favorite album, Dark Side of The Moon and it was simply delightful! Dudes if you knew me you'd know delightful is not a word I'd ever use, but WOW! The bass is tight, detailed and fast. Not heavy like bass head cans, but very real and present. The mids are there and not at all drowbned by the highs as I read others opine. I seriously am thrilled! I usually research my buys to the nth and this one paid off. They are not sibilant, at least not for my 50 year old ears. I did not find the aforementioned v shaped sound. i simply adjusted my EQ to my liking and simply enjoyed the music. a lot, A LOT - A LOT! Impressed doesn't cut it. i am an no B. S. type of guy and I can say without hesitation these headphones delivered and then some. color me impressed! Me = Happy Happy Camper :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will everyones ears fit into these? I like Astro**
A: My family stood side-by-side, ear-to-ear so we could all listen, but the headphones were too small to Fit “everyone’s ears into these”...plus my daughters ears get pretty waxy so the sound quality playing out of her ear hole would have been muffled.

**Q: What is the difference between the 250 ohm and 32 ohm models?**
A: The Ohm is the unit of electrical impedance. It's a measure of how difficult it is for current to flow through the conductor. A conductor with a higher impedance will require a higher voltage to push an equivalent current level through it than one with a lower impedance. A 10-volt source can drive 40 milliamps (.04 amps) through a 250 Ohm impedance, but you only need a 1.5V battery to push 47 milliamps through a 32 ohm impedance. This is why 32 Ohm headphones are recommended for portable equipment (phones, etc), where low-voltage battery sources are common. 

A 600 Ohm headphone is more appropriate for studio work, where the amplifier driving them often uses +/- 15 volts (a 30 volt swing).  A 250 ohm headphone is one that attempts to bridge both worlds - low enough to be used with battery powered sources, but "stiff" enough (electrically) to take advantage of the benefits that a big voltage swing provides, such as a higher s/n ratio.

A lower impedance headphone (everything else being equal) does NOT require less power to use. In fact, it requires slightly more. But you do not want to use a 600 ohm set of headphones (in general) with a low-voltage amp such as one the one in your phone or laptop. Generally, they will not play as loudly, as they will require more current than the amplifier can provide into the higher impedance.

**Q: Do these headphones have a removable cable?**
A: I have the dt 990 pro 250 ohms, and no they do not have a removal cable.

**Q: Will these completely encase the ear? I can't stand headphones that put the cushion on the ear instead of around it completely, only touching the head**
A: As long as your head is not very large, it can wrap your ears. if you want choice 250Ω or 600Ω before you need Bought a Amp。

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing, absolutely best headphones in this price range!
*by P***. on November 9, 2017*

Best headphones for this price. I consider myself an audiophile and own (or owned) several headphones in $50 - 400 price range and monitor speakers in up to $2000 range. Also, since I live in New-York I could test-drive dozens of headphones in up to $400 range and nothing could beat Beyerdynamic DT-990 Premium. Pros: - Crystal clear highly detailed sound. You can give them music of any complexity and they will handle it very well. They will not produce just some mess or start distorting instruments. You will still hear every instrument clear and undistorted. - Wide and airy sound stage. You don't feel like the sound source is near your ears. It feels like the stage is around you and music is light and flowing in the air around you. - The bass is perfect. They can handle any bass, they will not start crackling. The amount and quality of bass are ideal. I don't want any more or less. It feels very natural. - Excellent build quality. Feels premium. I have been using them every day for 3+ years and they are still in great condition. - Very comfortable to wear them for any period of time - Price. They are not in a cheap range, but I doubt you will find anything better for the same price. Cons: - Personally, I prefer a little bit warmer sound. But they are definitely not cold, they are neutral. - Again, personally, sometimes, I prefer a little increase in the voice range (~1KHz), but these headphones are, again, neutral. But voice lovers can use equalizer to fine-tune whatever they want. Also, when I just got them, I thought that their high frequencies are too high, but later, after comparing with other reference headphones and monitor speakers I understood that their highs are actually correct (I had just gotten used to my previous Sennheizer headphones with weaker highs). After some time I got used to their high frequencies and now they seem very good to me. I have another audiophile friend who has been crazy about music for the last 30 years and has a lot of hi-fi equipment. After he had listened to these headphones, he agreed with me that he had never listened to such good headphones in this price range and he ordered one pair for himself straight away! :) I highly recommend these headphones to all people who love music and value real quality sound.
