Beyerdynamic DT 990 Edition HeadbandOnEar Black Silver

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!

Yüksek malzeme kalitesine sahip, audiophile seviyesinde bir referans kulaklığı. Harici bir amfiye bağlamanız iyi olur. Yüksek frekansları fazla ve detaylı verdiğinden, özellikle belli müzikler için @Oratory1990'ın equalizer ayarı uygulanabilir. Lambalı bir amfi de ekstra getiri sağlayabilir, ama normal amfi + EQ yeterli olur. Yüksek frekansların detayı, bass'ların diğer frekansları bozmaması ve "imaging" başarısı sayesinde, rekabetçi online oyunlara da uygundur. 2000 lira fiyat seviyesi için rakipsiz bir kulaklık denebilir. Zaman zaman 1900 TL civarına iniyor. DT 990 Pro'ya göre ergonomi ve malzeme olarak daha iyi. Ses kaliteleri aynı.

Avevo da tanti anni una Sennheiser. Ho trovato questa di occasione e l'ho presa per provarla viste anche le ottime recensioni. Devo dire che confrontandole con i miei diffusori Magneplanar 1.6 non sfigurano affatto, anzi, hanno più dinamica e un pò più di estensione alle basse frequenze. Ottime cuffie. le consiglio Io le sto pilotando con una scheda audio Asus Xonar Essence e va benissimo

Je l'utilise aussi bien en studio que pour l'écoute de musique le soir. Il est plus confortable que son "frère" DT-990 Pro, avec les mêmes transducteurs et le même son. Celui-ci est moins serré sur la tête, et donc plus confortable sur longue durée. Une réponse en fréquence pas plate, il est généreux (sans exagération) dans les basses et un peu dans les aigus aussi. Je préfère ça à un casque trop "plat" comme le DT-880 qui va me faire augmenter les basses fréquences dans un mix exagérément. Rappelons que nos oreilles ont moins de sensibilité dans les extrémités du spectre, et ça s'accentue avec l'âge. J'ai essayé et possédé beaucoup de casques, et celui-là reste mon préféré.

These headphones are just awesome. Mids are super smooth and bass is tight and well separated. People with bass head who are looking for head thumping bass may not find these headphone for their liking. They are super comfortable to wear for hour long sessions. When you buy this headphone make sure you have good headphone amps to drive them.
