Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO vs Sennheiser HD 600

The dexterity of this headphone, the clarity of this headphone, the build, the beauty, the versatility and sound in tonality is just exceptional. And ...

The original HD 600 is a legend in our hobby and its design and its sound has stood the test of time. This is one of the newer versions that has been ...

And so the whole point of me doing this was really to come back a year later and give a little bit more about this headphone, talk about the build and...

But those are my thoughts on the new 600. Now I'd love to know your thoughts in the comment section down below. Do you think you'll be picking up a pa...

Its been quite a while, 7 months or more, since I bought these and I still feel comfortable in them. I use them with the A20 amp from Beyerdynamic. I keep the volume less than 1/4 turned 99% of the time and the quality of sound is amazing, the comfort is amazing, the amount of clutter caused by the cables from both amp and headphones is minimal. Just buy the things, your ears and head will thank you for not buying a more rigid and less comfortable pair

Clear: It’s pretty crazy how comfortable the Clears are for how heavy they are. They are so perfectly balanced on my head that I do forget I have headphones on sometimes.

The circle shape put some pressure on my jaw. This design mixed with the dense balanced pads made this headphone too uncomfortable to wear for over an hour. -I wasn't sure whether to put this as a con or not since it's also a pro but in my opinion the treble is overdone. It's so strong that while gaming, firing an assault rifle sounds like it has more treble than bass which makes no sense

I’m not a headphone expert, though I have been using them in one form or another dating back to 1977, so a good 40 years on everything from the old Koss white eggshell looking things to Sony’s 1980s on the ear to noise canceling Sony and Bose phones. But for music (hi-fi) my AKGs had been my reference until they were damaged. But this review concerns some AKG K-712s that I purchased at the same time as the Sennheisers specifically to test. In truth I picked up the AKGs after being disappointed with the HD600s; feeling like something was missing

With a fair price to performance cost. I ended up returning the DT 1990 Pro. I was not even impressed with the music listening performance.

Clearly the Grado's at $100 are the least expensive with the Momentum jumping up markedly to $299, while the more recently acquired Sennheiser HD600 hit the $400 mark. When a number of them are playing notes together the Grado's sounded smeared compared to the HD600s. Not unlike a poorly created JPEG from a digital point-n-shoot versus a well-made JPEG from an original RAW processed via Adobe Lightroom. Details are are lost in the former, but the latter does a far superior job of keeping the detail even in the process of losing information
