Excellant choice for MP3 and iPod/iPhone use as well as robust enough for home audio and PC applications. Handcrafted in Germany, the DT 990 is a perfect combination of design and function. This headphone features a true sound definition with phenomenal bass response and the open design. Play music the way it was intendedThe DT 990 is an open dynamic headphone of exceptional quality and suitable for all music styles; whether you are into pop, classical or jazz, the DT 990’s will deliver the true sound as it was originally intended to. Natural and balanced soundThe reduced weight of the diaphragm and moving coil result in a similar pulse characteristic as electrostatic headphones, and in combination with a carefully tailored frequency response provide a natural and balanced sound.Uncompromised comfortSoft ear and headband pads together with a single-sided cable ensure listening comfort during extended periods of use. The DT 990 is still manufactured in Germany providing an excellent quality. Review: Just plain awesome..... - The short version of this review is that I am 100%, absolutely pleased with these headphones and would buy them again. The long - What do I like? Sound - Pristine reproduction, almost completely uncolored. Pure, clean bass and excellent sound imaging. Instrument / performer location is nearly transparent with these, creating a wide soundstage. A great test album for these 'phones is the Bill Evans Trio album "Exporations". "Nardis", "Israel" and "Elsa" feature some very low acoustic bass from Scott LaFaro and very delicate brush work on the drums. These are the first headphones that I have heard that reproduce this so well. Classical music sounds excellent as well - John Eliot Gardiner's recording of Beethoven's Symphonies on period instruments is ridiculous on these. It sounds so good! Modern rock is also handled with ease - uncolored and clear. Perfect bass response, and when you want a boost in the bass, the DT990s handle the extra kick easily. I used the EQ on my headphone amp to boost the bass as a test, and found no problems or muddiness. IMHO, these phone do not need the bass boosted - they sound great with no EQ. Comfort - The most comfortable headphones I have worn. I don't think there is any problem here for anyone. Construction - Okay, these are only a few weeks old. I cannot attest to the long-term durability. I can say that they appear ot built very well. The cord is heavy and appears to be durable. The constuction is solid, yet lightweight. I think it'll do just fine over time. Comparison - I do NOT own 43 different pairs of expensive headphones. (As it seems many reviewers claim to own!) I have one other pair of "real" headphones; Grado mid-priced (~$100) headphones that sound great as well. The DT 990 kills them, leaves them in the dust so to speak - as they should for the price difference! (But I still love the Grados!) What I was able to do a few months ago was visit this absurd electrincs shop in Tokyo (Akihabara) and audition a ton of 'phones with my own MP3 files. The DT 900s were among them. The only headphones that I thought were this good were the Sennheiser's with "wood-trim" and the DT 880. (Sorry, I forgot the model number of the Sennheiser) I cannot give you a run-down of this model compared to that model ad infinitum. The DT 990s sounded better (to me) than many 'phones costing quite a bit more - some AKGs (I think the Quincy Jones model) and Audio Technica were hundreds more expensive and IMHO were inferior to these. I can tell you that I love the sound of these and do not regret buying them. I am not going to comment on noise isolation. These are open type 'phones, as anyone intelligent enough to read has already discovered in the product description. If you are reading this and don't know what that means, do an internet search on that term. Plus that, they are GERMAN made and engineered! (If you don't know it by now, literally every product made in Germany is superior to similar products made elsewhere with one exception - dental floss.) This product again reinforces my admiration for German engineering. Simply awesome product! I hope that this review helps you to decide what to buy. I had a very difficult time deciding, and had the good fortune of being able to visit Tokyo prior to buying. I was able to audition dozens of headphones in a store there, Akihabara. I don't think that you will find that here in the US. (If there was a store like that here, all of the audition headphones would either be broken or stolen, sadly.) Update - December 30, 2012 - Fantastic 'phones!!!! I am fully aware that nearly all headphones exhibit some type of "break-in" where the audio qualities may change slightly after some hours of use. I can only say that the Beyerdynamics sound better to me than they did a month ago. Hard to qualify that, really... I think that they sound more "open" and transparent. Excellent 'phones, no change in my opinion from earlier. Just a very fine audio product and the best headphones I have heard. Easily in the category of "Would buy again." Update - January 2014 - Better than ever - cannot knock these at all. Worth the money, sound great, look and feel as good as the day they were new. Sound better than new. Very happy with these after living with them a bit now... I recently bought the much cheaper Bro' of these Beyerdynamic DTX 910 Stereo Headphones for Portable and Home usage (Silver Black) for use away from home, and am very pleased with those for $70. Review: Outstanding!!!! - I have read plenty of reviews on many different brands of headphones. Thanks to a few gift cards I was able to shop for some quality headphones. I narrowed it down to either the Sennheiser hd 598's or the 32 ohm Beyerdynamic 990 dt's. I heard both are great but I settled on the beyer's. It's been over a month and in total I have burned in my new phones about 70 hours using my ipod playing overnight and the static from unclear radio stations. I listen to them about 2 hrs a day, everyday. To sum them up in one word...PHENOMENAL!! I love these things. For a while I wasn't listening to my music anymore. Don't know why. I own about 300 CDs. I listen to almost everything but prefer metal(too many genres in this department to list), along with hardcore,punk,ska,rock,rap,r&b,reggae, and speedcore. The 990's make me want to listen to all of my CDs all over again as if I was hearing them for the 1st time! I have heard my CDs a thousand times over and with the 990's I can hear things I have never heard before!! Absolutely ridiculous!! I have adjusted to the digital age and crammed all my CDs into my iPod Classic . I use the EQ a bit on it to see how the different genres sound. When I want a little more bass I'll use the R&b or hip hop setting. This setting sounds great with most of my music. Although on some of the grind core I listen to, I have to tone down the bass a bit cause it sounds distorted. With the classical EQ setting, it makes the grind sound tame but in a really great way. The bass is crystal clear!! It's mind blowing! The speedcore is even tamed as well on this setting! If that is possible because that type of music usually destoys any kind of speaker due to it's rumbling bass, ear piercing pitches and digital drums/drum machine. The 990's excel with that genre and by no means are these phones bass emphasized. But when put to the test with extreme music, they can handle the chaos! And with the right eq setting,any genre of music is enhanced. They can definitely handle a lot more power than my iPod. The 32 ohm version was made to cater to portable devices. That being said, I have to turn up the volume to about 85% on the iPod to get it where I want it. Almost blasting my ears out but not quite. I am curious to see how a good amp/dac combo would enhance the experience. The 990's have a 250 and 600 ohm version as well. I would assume those 2 sets would surely benefit amped up. A few more notes on the 990's. They are incredibly comfortable and can be worn for hours. They are sturdy as well. Another thing I noticed when listening is the treble sounds incredibly high even with the EQ adjustments. Almost ear piercing high. I've heard the term bright used by other reviewers when describing the treble. And the bass, I just want more. Like i said, they can handle whatever is thrown at them. I'm already spoiled with these, hehe. I recommend the 990's to anyone who loves music and wants it to come alive! I know they are expensive. I couldn't have got em without a little help, ie gift cards and those horrible credit cards!! With this economy and now obamacare! Who can pay things off anymore??!!Debt is great ain't it!! All in all if you love music, get these. Also looking into getting the Phillips Fidelio X1 or X2. Not sure but need to do more research and start saving up. Hope this helps! UPDATE: Had these for a year and they are goin strong!! Still sound just as good or better then when I got em! BTW, I did get a $50 Samson headphone amp. After combining the Beyer's with the amp, I didn't notice much of a difference. They did not improve the sound quality, the only thing that changed was the volume. The phones sounded louder but that was it. The bass, mids, and highs were not clearer or sounded any different. Perhaps one of the various Fiio amps or a tube amp would help? Need to do more research to find the right combo. Maybe I'm just nitpicking or being too critical. Don't know enough about headphones and amps and prob never will. But I do know I love the Beyer's. Either way, just get these headphones. Their awesome!!Take it easy:) ## Features - Connectivity Technology: Wired ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0024NK344 | | Additional Features | Noise-Cancelling-Feature | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | Music | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | #99,485 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #1,892 in Over-Ear Headphones | | Brand | beyerdynamic | | Brand Name | beyerdynamic | | Built-In Media | 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter, Beyerdynamic DT 990 - 32 Ohm Gray Headphones, Soft Carrying Case | | Cable Features | Straight connecting cable with mini-jack plug (3.5 mm) & ΒΌβ€œ adapter (6.35 mm) | | Carrying Case Color | Black | | Carrying Case Material | Velour | | Carrying Case Weight | 0.1 Ounces | | Color | Gray | | Compatible Devices | Most devices with a 3.5 mm audio jack or 6.35 mm adapter | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | Media Control | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 703 Reviews | | Ear Placement | Over Ear | | Earpiece Shape | rounded | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Form Factor | Over Ear | | Frequency Range | 5 - 35.000 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04010118483950 | | Headphone Folding Features | Over Ear | | Headphone Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Headphones Ear Placement | Over Ear | | Impedance | 32 Ohms | | Is Autographed | No | | Item Type Name | over-the-ear-headphones | | Item Weight | 0.2 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | beyerdynamic | | Model Name | DT 990 Premium - 32 Ohm Gray | | Model Number | beyerdynamic | | Noise Control | None | | Number of Items | 1 | | Sensitivity | 96 dB | | Series Number | 483958 | | Specific Uses For Product | Home | | Style Name | Headphones | | UPC | 798304271454 768421126791 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2-year beyerdynamic warranty | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Wireless Technology | Bluetooth | ## Product Details - **Brand:** beyerdynamic - **Color:** Gray - **Ear Placement:** Over Ear - **Form Factor:** Over Ear - **Impedance:** 32 Ohms ## Images ![DT 990 - 32 OHM - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71N12VbUhpL.jpg) ![DT 990 - 32 OHM - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GNjp16qZL.jpg) ![DT 990 - 32 OHM - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CiwdUmchL.jpg) ![DT 990 - 32 OHM - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/418QzR4AdjL.jpg) ![DT 990 - 32 OHM - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QkdN87cGL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just plain awesome..... *by P***N on November 11, 2012* The short version of this review is that I am 100%, absolutely pleased with these headphones and would buy them again.

I own the Grado SR80i's as well as the Audio Technica ATH-M50's. I've been comparing the DT990's on portable devices, iphone, itouch and an Asus Memopad tablet. The DT 990's are by far the least sensitive of the three headphones - I have to turn the volume up more to achieve equivalent volume. I've been doing my best to adjust the volume as I listen to each to make the comparison as fair as possible. The output is loud enough without the need for a headphone amp. The ATH-M50's are the most sensitive, followed by the SR80's. All three of these headphones are excellent and I could recommend all of them without hesitation. The SR80i's and the DT 990's are the most similar (open back) and I spent most of my time comparing these two. The ATH-M50's are closed back and have a different sound. I prefer the open back sound in general, but sometimes like the isolation provided by the closed back cans. The DT990's are extremely comfortable and out of the box sound great. They're well balanced and spacious. The high end compared with the SR-80i's have slightly more high-end sizzle. The middle is extremely pleasant and vocals, both male and female are fantastic. The bass is present, but less pronounced than either the Grado's or Audio-Technicas. I will update this review over time if the bass opens up with continued use. The difference between the SR80i's and the DT 990's are subtle and I'm not sure whether the slight improvement in the high-end makes them worth keeping. Keep in mind the DT 990's cost ~ $260.00, while the SR-80's cost ~ $99.00. In my opinion the Grados are by far the better value. I will spend a lot more time listening to DT990's before making a final judgment, but after a couple of days I'm certainly pleasantly surprised by how well the Grados compare. It's possible the DT 990's might benefit from a headphone amp, but I specifically bought the 32 ohm version in order to avoid having to use an amp. In summary (for now) the DT-990's are excellent headphones with a great sound stage and extremely comfortable. They are marginally brighter than the Grado's, but the difference is subtle. The Grados have a slight edge on the bass response at least out of the box. If money is no object the DT 990's would probably be the pick, but if I factor in value the Grado's might just win out. The Audio-Technicas are also fantastic in their own way. They have a more traditional headphone sound and provide a bit more sound isolation. If that's your preference they're also a great value. ## Frequently Bought Together - beyerdynamic DT 990 Edition 32 Ohm Over-Ear-Stereo Headphones.
