Open-back studio headphones for critical listening:

The Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO are open-back, dynamic studio headphones developed for critical listening and precise editing. The open-back design differs fundamentally from closed-back studio headphones by allowing sound to pass through the ear cups. The DT 990 PRO are therefore designed with a focus on spacious and detailed reproduction, making subtle details in the audio material clearly audible.

The headphones have a frequency response of 5 - 35,000 Hz, a nominal sound pressure level of 96 dB and total harmonic distortion of less than 0.2%. Beyerdynamic describes the sound reproduction as spacious and detailed with considerable tonal depth, making the model relevant for critical listening, editing and working with the stereo image.

The circumaural over-ear design means that the ear pads surround the ears. Soft velour ear pads are combined with a padded headband, while the headband construction itself uses robust spring steel. The fit is designed for professional use and keeps the headphones securely in place while working.

80 Ohm - flexible version for studio use:

The DT 990 PRO 80 Ohm is the lower-impedance version and is described by Beyerdynamic as the model for universal studio use. Compared with the 250 Ohm version, the lower impedance places different demands on the headphone output, making the 80 Ohm model the more flexible of the two versions when the headphones are used with different types of studio equipment.

The 80 Ohm version has a 3 metre straight, single-sided cable. The cable is therefore connected to only one ear cup, making the headphones easier to handle when they frequently need to be put on and taken off. Connection is via a gold-plated 3.5 mm stereo jack, and a 6.35 mm jack adapter is included for equipment with the larger headphone output.

This version has the same open-back dynamic design, frequency response of 5 - 35,000 Hz and nominal sound pressure level of 96 dB as the 250 Ohm version. The official technical documentation specifies a weight of 340 g.

250 Ohm - for professional studio equipment:

The DT 990 PRO 250 Ohm is the version for professional equipment and has a nominal impedance of 250 Ohm. The higher impedance makes the choice of headphone output important, as the audio source must be capable of driving the headphones correctly. This version is therefore particularly oriented towards stationary studio setups and other professional audio equipment with a suitable headphone output.

A significant physical difference between the two DT 990 PRO versions is the cable. While the 80 Ohm model has a straight cable, the 250 Ohm version comes with a 3 metre coiled cable. The coiled cable provides practical freedom of movement at the workstation while keeping part of the cable length compact when its full reach is not required.

This version also uses a gold-plated 3.5 mm stereo jack and comes with a 6.35 mm adapter. The soft circumaural velour ear pads, robust spring steel headband and open-back acoustic design are shared by both versions. The official technical documentation specifies a weight of 370 g for the 250 Ohm version.

Brand description - Beyerdynamic

BeyerdynamicBeyerdynamic is a German family-owned company that produces microphones, headphones, wireless audio systems, and other audio equipment. Founded in Berlin in 1924 by Eugen Beyer, the company has since established itself as a leading manufacturer of headphones for both consumers and professionals. Beyerdynamic has introduced several iconic headphone models, including the popular DT880 series, launched in 1980. The DT880 quickly became a success and continues to be produced in various versions today.

Beyerdynamic headphones are available with different impedance levels, allowing you to find the right model for your equipment and needs. Here’s a quick guide to which headphones are best suited for different applications:

12-32 Ohms: These headphones are easy to drive and ideal for portable devices such as smartphones, iPods, laptops, and MP3 players.

250 Ohms: The all-round version has a somewhat lighter voice coil, offering better sound quality. However, it requires more power to drive, delivering the best audio quality when paired with high-quality equipment.

600 Ohms: The high-end version with an extremely light voice coil provides the best sound quality. Due to its high impedance, it demands a robust setup and is recommended for use with a quality headphone amplifier for optimal audio performance.
