As popular as ever
The DT 990 Pro are open, diffuse-field equalised headphones from beyerdynamic that has enjoyed great popularity since its launch in the 1980s. The dynamic DT 990 Pro, designed for the use in studios, has excellent stereo reproduction and a pleasant sound. Its light grey velour ear pads are not only visually appealing, but are also very comfortable to wear. The DT 990 Pro offers a one-sided cable routing via a fixed 3m stereo jack cable with a 6.3mm screw adapter. The impedance is comparatively high at 250 ohms, but nothing stands in the way of reasonable playback volume on mobile devices.

Professional playback
The DT 990 Pro is characterised by good spatial sound reproduction and offers a stereo stage to the listener that allows precise localisation of individual mixing components. The headphones also have an excellent impulse response that provides an accurate representation of transients. The emphasis is slightly on bass and treble, resulting in optimised playback and giving an idea of what the end result might sound like early in the production process. However, this bass and treble boost also affects the sound neutrality a bit, so new users should first get used to the headphones before starting the next production.

Comfort headphones with top-notch sound
In addition to a top-notch sound, the DT 990 Pro headphones are extremely comfortable to wear, so there will be no signs of fatigue even after a long period of use. Thanks to the padded spring steel frame construction with adjustable contact pressure, the light grey velour ear pads fit perfectly. Therefore, the DT 990 Pro is very comfortable to wear, even during longer studio sessions. As a result, the DT 990 Pro is a recommended tool for all technicians, musicians and producers who work in the studio every day and want to enjoy some well-deserved knocking-off time without unpleasant pressure marks.

About beyerdynamic
beyerdynamic was founded in Berlin in 1924 as a manufacturer of cinema loudspeakers. In 1937, Eugen Beyer developed the DT 48, the first set of dynamic headphones, followed two years later by the M 19 dynamic microphone. After the Second World War, the company moved to Heilbronn, Germany, and now also has a US subsidiary with headquarters in Farmingdale, New York. beyerdynamic's most popular products traditionally include headphones and microphones for both live and studio use, and the company also has a strong presence in the consumer and conference technology sectors as well as in the field of installation microphones, interpreter consoles, and tour guide systems.
For editing, mixing & mastering
Due to its open design, the beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro is less suitable for use in the recording room, as ambient noise hits the ear almost unhindered and as a result disturbs the perception of the monitor mix. Accordingly, an outside use is equally not recommended, for example at the DJ desk or at the FOH seat. Instead, the DT 990 Pro presents itself as a fairly reliable tool for evaluating and editing a piece of music. With its strengths such as the spatial reproduction and the impulse response, the DT 990 Pro achieves excellent playback quality, which means that all relevant tools in music production can be used accurately.
