Review: Awesome, definitely need a headphone amp to power the 250 Ohm version. - So this is an out of the box review of the 990 edition, so first 24 hours of ownership. I am a bit of a headphone nerd so can tell pretty quickly if I’m going to like a pair of headphones. I currently own AKG 702 & 7xx, senn HD6xx and Philips X2HR headphones so I am comparing the 990’s to those directly. I bought the “edition” version as I wanted a straight cable and the few other tweaks they’ve made to make them more “home friendly”. Build and design: so they look cool, better in person and feel well built (much better than AKGs for example). I would’ve liked the shells and grills to be metal but this would increase cost and weight so not necessary and purely aesthetic. Comfort: these are very comfortable. When you first put them on they don’t feel like they are going to be as comfortable as people make out but very quickly you forget you’re wearing them. I would rate them right up there on comfort out of the box. Most people rave about 650/6xx being comfortable, rubbish, those things hurt unless you’ve got a peanut sized head or you stretch out the headband which is easy to do. These need no “breaking in” in the comfort dept. Sound (most important bit): these are right up there with the best at under 500 dollars/pounds. They seem to tick all the boxes and combine all the best bits of the other headphones. They have plenty of bass but not too much, clear highs and have an airy feel to them or “wide soundstage” for all the audiophile nerds out there. Negatives: I have got the 250 ohm variant and they are a beast to power. I have the 300 ohm 6xx and the 990’s are harder to power than those. I have a zen DAC currently which powers them ok but I’ve had to crank it to over 2 O clock on the DAC to get a good volume level (I do listen to metal so quite loud). The zen isn’t the most powerful so your mileage may vary but a headphone amp is a must for these. Go for the lower resistance headphones if you don’t want to buy or do not have a headphone amp. I love these headphones and they are definitely going to be keepers. My 702’s have already been packed away!
Review: Los mejores audífonos para videojuegos y musica - Excelentes audífonos, con un sonido impresionante. para los juegos se escucha como si estuvieras dentro del juego en ocasiones volteaba detrás de mi porque escuchaba pasos y resulta que los pasos eran dentro del juego. al ser audífonos abiertos el Sound stage es impresionante, no es necesario tener audífonos sobrevalorados con surround 7.1 con estos audífonos puedes saber exactamente de donde viene cada sonido. antes de estos tuve uno Astro A50 y la verdad los Dt 990 son infinitamente superiores en todos los sentidos. y en música recomiendo ampliamente conseguir música HiFi, para sacarle provecho a estos audífonos, como recomendación, es necesario conseguir un buen Amplificador y Dac para que den vida al sonido de estos audífonos.

## 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。

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pas pour tout le monde
*by N***S on 1 December 2025*

Malgré sa destination produit, ce casque est clairement plus orienté mixage / mastering que écoute passive Hi-Fi : on recherche une certaine neutralité, de l'homogénéité, du détail dans les textures et de la précision dans les attaques. 250ohm = ampli impératif : prudence le choix de l'ampli/préamp peut radicalement modifier le comportement et la couleur du casque. Ecoute : Excellente précision dans tout le spectre, peut-être un poil généreux dans le bas, quasiment pas de distorsion (merci le casque ouvert), le niveau de détail est tel qu'il ne pardonne effectivement pas les nettoyages faits à l'arrache. Cette précision, particulièrement au dessus de 7/8khz lui a valu beaucoup de critiques comme quoi il agressait littéralement les oreilles, alors que c'est justement son atout principal et fait de lui un outil redoutable une fois passé quelques heures de domestication. Ouverture stéréo bof, mais on s'en fout ce n'est pas un casque Hi-Fi que l'on recherche mais un outil de travail. Ecouter du mp3 est une véritable torture avec ce casque. Confort : Le confort légendaire des DT mais sans le pincement des arceaux des PRO qui peut être fatiguant à la longue. Les oreilles ne chauffent pas, on peut le porter des heures (des jours ?) durant. Finition : RAS c'est du BeyerDynamic, toutes les pièces sont interchangeables. Petit plus, il est fourni avec une housse de protection semi-rigide. Seul reproche, ce câble non torsadé très long destiné à une écoute domestique et fixé au casque sans connecteur (RAH).
