The DT 990 PRO (250 ohms) is an open dynamic headphone that is ideal for professional use in studios. Headphone frequency response - 5 - 35.000 Hz

RTINGS

If you're looking for headphones with better build quality, you may prefer the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO. While they have a less comfortable fit than the Philips Fidelio X2HR, they feel sturdier and have a solid-feeling metal frame. Their sound profile is well-balanced and a bit more excited, so it delivers some extra punch in the bass range, while instruments are detailed and sibilants are bright. They can sound a bit piercing, but you may prefer this type of sound profile since it lets you hear imperfections in your audio. Unfortunately, the audio cable isn't detachable, so you can't easily replace it if it's damaged.

If you want the headphones with a more comfortable fit or a more neutral sound profile, go for the Philips, but try the Beyerdynamic if build quality is a priority.

Beyerdynamic is one of the oldest headphone manufacturers and are the inventors of the first dynamic transducer headphones. They mainly focus on hi-fi headphones with a neutral sound profile and a high build quality. Their open-back over-ear headphones also tend to have a more extended bass response than many other open-backs that we've tested. However, some users may find their sound quite bright and that sibilants like cymbals can sound piercing. It can vary from person to person, though. Still, you may want to check this brand out if you're looking for critical listening or studio headphones.

The Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO are the best Beyerdynamic headphones we've tested. These wired over-ear headphones have an open-back design that helps them create a reasonably immersive and open-seeming passive soundstage. They also have a neutral sound profile that ensures vocals and instruments reproduce clearly and accurately. They're impressively well-built, with a sturdy metal headband and comfortable, well-padded ear cups. If you're looking for headphones for purposes like recording and want a closed-back design, you may prefer the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO, which leak less audio and block out more ambient sound. The Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless are also a decent option if you want &Beta;luetooth headphones. However, their sound profile is much more dependent on their fit, seal, and positioning on your head.

The best lower mid-range open-back studio headphones we've tested are the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO. At this price point, you can expect to see more dynamic drivers than planar magnetic headphones. While their soundstage isn't as wide, spacious, or out-of-head as the HiFiMan Edition XS, they can deliver more overall bass. Their sound is more excited than neutral, which can color your mixes and be a deal-breaker if you're looking for accuracy.

These over-ears have a comfortable fit and are well-built. However, their audio cable is integrated into their design, so if it gets damaged, you'll have to replace the entire unit. If you're looking for closed-backs with detachable audio cables, it's worth considering the Beyerdynamic DT 900 PRO X instead. Although they're a bit more expensive, they're similarly comfortable and well-built and come with two different pairs of audio cables. Their sound is also less boomy, though their treble is more recessed, resulting in weak vocals and instruments as well as slightly dull sibilants.

 All in all the DT 990's are very good cans; they just aren't for me. Still I debated for quite a while as to whether or not I would keep them. But, in the end I decided I would send them back.  UPDATE: I didn't want to give up on Beyerdynamics, so the day after I returned these 990s I ordered a set of DT-880 Premiums

 With so many variables affecting peoples like or dislike of any pair of phones it is my goal to help those with similar musical tastes and similar gear to determine whether or not these headphones will be a good investment for them personally.  To that end; I listen to music in practically every genre. I tend to go through different phases, but I enjoy Mozart as much as Metallica, 80's one hit wonders and New Orleans Jazz, Lady Antebellum or Lady Gaga, Eminem to Zedd. Music has so much to offer in all genres that one could spend a lifetime discovering new things they like

 The 880 Premiums clamp A LOT lighter than the 990 Pros as well (super comfortable, though I could probably sneeze them off). In the end, I was glad I auditioned both sets, and even though the 880s are almost double what I got the 990's for I will be keeping them. I can see the appeal of the 990s, but still, for me they were just okay (and I'm talking sound wise only). Beyerdynamics makes some really nice cans, but a person needs to do their research to figure out which model will suit them best

 They are made very well and being able to replace any broken or worn part is a big benefit. I like the coiled cable and the plug with the screw-on ¼" adapter (though I wish it was detachable), and I think the phones are nicely styled. I wish the midrange had a bit more presence and that the phones had better dynamics (difficult with the subdued middle). The soundstage is very good, though it doesn't feel quite as wide as my HD 598s or 600's (at least to my ears)

They Just Didn't Do It For Me.

 They've got that iconic black color with the white grill inside that Beyerdynamic is known for. When you're wearing these people are gonna know. The earcups themselves are oval in shape and have that sexy silver velour padding which are very comfortable and surprisingly they don't get that hot during extended gaming sessions which is what we're all looking for at the end of the day when we're gaming. The headband has a nice clamping force on it so you won't be snatching these off your head or when you're just moving around from monitor to monitor or during like an intense battle these are gonna stay put

 They aren't super wide when it comes to soundstage but they are wide enough to get the job done and then some. I had no problems placing my enemies in game and destroying them. So are these just a hype train fad or are they actually good gaming headphones? And I have to say these are very good headphones sprinkled with a little bit of hype but that doesn't change the fact that these are still really good headphones. You're getting that great bare dynamic build construction with comfortable velour pads that don't get hot over time

 Ohms is the power needed to power the headphones and most computers can't produce 250 ohms of power to these headphones which is why you need an amp to boost the signal. I'll be dropping some cheap amp options down below for you guys as well as always. I'm personally using the LocksJoy P20 which is around $80 and it can power these with no problem. Music wise though these are balanced studio headphones with a slight emphasis on treble which gives them that airiness that translate to being a good stereo gaming headset

Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro Review! Ninja's Headphones.. Are they worth it for gaming?

I've had two of this same exact headset. They are very great with everything except that they are not durable at all. That's the only reason it is not a 5 star review. From constant use of putting them on and off they snap at the screws where you adjust the size

Be warned they break SUPER easy but overall amazing.

What I got my eyes on: I found a very reasonable price for a Beyerdynamic DT990 pro on amazon that ships to Turkey with very low import fees (150+20$ vs 270$ or 2300 Turkish Liras local price). But I've heard that they have very sharp treble, The bass is not a problem though. I've also looked into ath m50x and ath m40x which also seem pretty good especially since the m40x is very affordable at 140$ local price vs the 170$ Beyerdynamic and 210 USD ath m50x. Budget - 150$-200$ or around 1750 Turkish Liras

 Even so, they were still comfortable. When I noticed how flat they'd gotten, I purchased HM5 Velour memory foam pads (http://www.amazon.com/Brainwavz-Velor-Memory-Replacements-Earpads/dp/B00MFDX4YO/ref=pd_sim_23_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=41RSWch-OBL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=14EJG9CAW7PPG9Z4H7WQ) and they fit fine (after some stretching) and feel great

amazon.com/SMSL-SD793-II-PCM1793-DIR9001-Amplifier/dp/B00A2QLPJM) to drive these. Without an amp, these headphones actually worked alright for me using them on my computer as well as my phone, but I usually don't listen to things very loudly. With the SMSL SD793-II, these headphones absolutely sing

 There's definitely an emphasis on the bass/sub bass in these. For open headphones, these pull off an impressive amount of lows. It makes them great for electronic music like house, drum and bass, dubstep, etc as well as genres like rock and metal as the music feels full. Compared to Philips SHP9500's, which I believe have a pretty neutral and balanced sound, the DT990's sacrifice accuracy and detail for warmth and voluminous bass/sub bass

Fantastic headphones for pleasure listening and gaming

The SR80 utilizes a 4 conductor connecting cable and larger ear cushions, the result of which gives a more open stage. The sr80 provides an improved bass resonance, which enhances the overall detail. John grade says he strove for the best sounding phones for the money and with the glowing reviews the SR80's have received, who can argue. Product features: Vented diaphragm, no resonant air chamber, standard copper voice coil wire, standard copper connecting cord, mini plug with 1/4" adaptor.

 And also since they're open back not only does the sound get out but sound also gets in so the ambient sound of your environment will play a factor in your music or whatever you're listening to. But yeah overall everything sounds really punchy and rich and that all makes these a great intro, a great first pair of open back headphones especially thanks to the price. These are all over the internet at sub $100. And it's worth noting that these also have a slightly less expensive little brother called the SR60E

 No real cushion here, but then again they are pretty lightweight so they're comfortable without a huge cushion. And the foam pads on the headphones themselves are removable and I checked on Amazon there are third party foam pads that you can buy or even leather ones that are softer or thicker or even sound different. But these stock foam ones are on ear so they just rest on your ear and sound good. And like I said this is a great first pair of open back headphones for all the reasons described in that explain video

 The sound stage is wide, the sound is detailed and more natural and actually think a tiny bit more balanced than those SR80i's. The sound leak actually not as bad as I remember so they're not like mini speakers on your head or anything but if someone's sitting near you they'll definitely be able to hear what you're listening to. And also since they're open back not only does the sound get out but sound also gets in so the ambient sound of your environment will play a factor in your music or whatever you're listening to.

Grado SR80e: Dope Budget Headphones!

 When I listened to them for the first time I was greeted by warm forward sounding mids with the promised sparkly treble. Plus they have that simple retro aesthetic, though that may be an acquired taste.

I was recommended Grado SR80e as my first introduction to audiopile headphones. Of course coming from $30 Sony cans anything would be an upgrade. When I listened to them for the first time I was greeted by warm forward sounding mids with the promised sparkly treble. Plus they have that simple retro aesthetic, though that may be an acquired taste

I adore my Grados with the big g cush pads.  I find the wide open sound they produce to be particularly excellent for classical/orchestral music. This genre really takes advantage of the present (but never overemphasized bass), forward mids and sparkly highs that are all part of the Grados house sound. 

I generally like them with jazz as well, though the solo sax and trumpet parts can be a bit piercing on some recording, others are about perfect. Plucked bass has such a wonderful texture on these that really shines through without any bloat. 

A lot of people love rock music on Grados.  For me, this is much more recording dependant. Really well recorded classic rock (late Beatles, pink floyd, steely dan, dire straights, Eric clapton etc) is satisfying on them.  That's a lot of the rock music I listen to.  But a lot of heavier stuff like Zeppelin or Sabbath  needs a bit more bass oomph than the Grados offer.  

I can totally understand why people hate them....but for so much of what I listen to I think they are great.  Definitely love em or hate em headphones....I just love em with some recordings and hate em with others.  I love much more than I hate though. 

I also think every grado owner owes it to themselves to get at least a couple different kinds of pads.  

The s-cush pads (flat pads that come on the 60 and 80). Really tame the treble and increase the bass. They make them more forgiving to poor recordings, but narrow the sound stage quite a bit as well.  They are a nice alternative to have. Comfort is ok after you wash the pads with soap and water a couple times to soften them up.

The G-cush pads (big bowls on the higher end models) are what I described above. Open and airy.  Bigger soundstage. A bit lighter on bass.   These are my preference for most recordings. Also most comfortable. 

The L-cush pads (donut shaped on the sr 125+  in the prestige series and the reference series) are my least favorite. I hear very little difference between them and the G-cush...but they are by far the worst on comfort. I rarely use these.

I hate the fact that I've only heard 1 pair of grados(sr125's) and they were absolutely horrible imo. I really want to hear one of the higher end ones at some point, I always thought they were some of the best looking headphones. Maybe I'll swallow the 500€ price of the Hemp at some point, supposedly that one is tuned more "consumer friendly".

My first decent headphones were SR80's, still going strong, although I now have a pair of beautiful HS2's. Perfect for quite room! I also have Final Audio Pandora Hope 6's for when the room is too noisy. All driven by a Cord Mojo with Poly.

Rarely see Grados here

 Make sure your listening environment is quiet, inside and outside of your head, however you do that, and then put on Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group Live circa 1977.

 But the reproduction of sound from Koss back then, when run through the warmth of tube amplifiers from a good turntable was exceptional, as are these headphones from family-owned Grado Labs. When properly equalized to meet the sensibility of today's recording dynamics (although you won't have to do much for your Boston album) the sound quality is superior, especially for the $100 you'll have to throw on the table. They are surprisingly lightweight once adjusted (and don't worry about bending the head band) and quite comfortable for hours of listening. Younger ears no doubt will think them a little too weird compared to what's coming out of today's studios, but audiophiles with a few miles on their shoes will love 'em

Compared to other headphones, these handmade instruments represent perfectly (to me, at least) the best of the philosophy of sound reproduction from past years - and I do mean past years. My first set of quality cans was from Koss in 1978, for which I paid somewhere around $35 - a hefty sum in those days.

Forward into the past....

 Very. Impressive.  Unfortunately, when using an IOS device, playing this profile with even high end earbuds like the UE Triple Fis, the sound will be tinny, so toggling between the two modes by way of a shortcut would be a nice bonus, but as it stands I have to go deep into the preferences to change this setting. Therefore, I would only recommend these headphones if you intend to use them in a stationary location

 Most people who listen to popular music are generally accustomed to excessive bass. If that is the sort of listener that you are, then these headphones are for you because once you get the SR80s tuned properly, the sound these cans deliver is very impressive. Very. Impressive

 (I always have a sad chuckle when some punk is walking the streets with ghetto blaster at maximum volume and the sound is atrocious- little does he know that what people are annoyed by is not the volume, but the distortion! Plus he's ruining his equipment.)  Using the SR80e with a mobile device is a case where an external headphone amplifier would be highly desirable, if not required, so this is a bit of an ask. I have not had a lot of success with the in-line amplifiers designed to run off of the device's power (specifically the Lightning-DAC-and-amplifier combos that you can buy to replace the dongle that Apple ships with their new iPhones) where I played recordings which have very high amplitude levels. For these recordings, the distortion is intolerable even though records at a nominal recording level sound great

Therefore, I would only recommend these headphones if you intend to use them in a stationary location. Since these are very high resistance earphones (even higher than most loudspeakers for that matter) you really ought to get an headphone amplifier if you want these to shine.  One other issue is with the minimalist foam cup pads
