Legendary studio headphones Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO have had an impeccable reputation for over 20 years! The DT 990 PRO are open-back dynamic headphones of exceptional quality for the most demanding audiophiles and professionals. The reduction in the weight of the diaphragm and voice coil has enabled achieving an impulse response level comparable to much more expensive electrostatic headphones. The open design without noise isolation provides excellent spatial sound and the widest soundstage, unmatched by closed-back headphones.
The DT 990 PRO excel with any musical material regardless of genre, with excellent attack, natural and balanced sound in combination with a carefully tuned frequency range. Unlike the standard 990 version, each sound transducer in the PRO version is individually matched, allowing for additional precision in sound reproduction. It is also worth noting the enhanced reliability of the construction of the PRO version and the excellent fit on the head.
Soft velour earpads and a durable adjustable spring steel headband, along with a flexible coiled cable, ensure comfort and reliability for a long time. All of this combined gives the right to call the DT 990 PRO headphones one of the best for audio work! Designed for professional studio use, Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO are also perfect for home listening by Hi-Fi enthusiasts.

The "PRO" prefix in their name indicates that these reference monitoring headphones are intended for professional studio work. The model has an open design, allowing for an expanded soundstage and a more airy and spacious sound compared to closed-back stereo headphones. Beyerdynamic's diaphragms and voice coils are exceptionally lightweight, significantly improving response speed and bringing the DT990 PRO close in characteristics to electrostatic headphones. The history of this model dates back to 1985, with numerous improvements made since then.
In their latest PRO reincarnation, the headphones now have a headband made of a special elastic spring steel. The holders (forks) of the earcups are made of aluminum, while the cups themselves are made of durable ABS plastic. Sliding adjusting-fixing mounts allow for precise adjustment to the head size. The soft velour earpads are notable as they completely cover the ears and do not cause sweating at contact points with the skin. The headband has a soft synthetic leather pad with padding that can be quickly detached with four metal buttons if desired. According to information provided by Beyerdynamic, all components of the DT990 PRO headphones are easily replaceable.
The headphones come with a coiled single-sided non-removable cable with high-purity oxygen-free copper conductors. The standard length of the cable is three meters. It uses a 3.5mm mini-jack connector, but also includes a adapter for full-size 6.3mm jacks. The model comes with a carrying case. These headphones are relatively lightweight, weighing 250g. The impedance is 80 ohms. It is recommended to use them with a high-quality specialized amplifier. The frequency range is quite wide, with an upper limit extending to 35,000 Hz. The headphones have a very accurate tonal balance, as well as clarity, excellent detail and density in the mid-frequency range, tight fast bass, and slightly bright but not sharp high frequencies. The sound can be characterized as warm yet natural and realistic. The model has a very wide panoramic soundstage. The DT990 PRO headphones are suitable for professional studio work, as well as for regular home listening.
History of Beyerdynamic DT 770/880/990 headphones:
The legendary series DT 770/880/990 dates back to 1981 when the DT 880 model was released - the first dynamic headphones with electrostatic-like characteristics. Following that, in 1985, the DT 770 and 990 models were introduced, completing the series and providing the market with maximum flexibility and a choice of closed-back (DT 770), semi-open (DT 880), and open-back (DT 990) headphones.
The first versions of the headphones had a plastic headband, durable but not durable enough as required. In the early 1990s, the first professional models (PRO) were introduced, with a headband made of spring steel, aluminum forks, and a body made of extremely durable ABS plastic. Subsequently, this Beyerdynamic line took the world by storm. Today, headphones from the DT 770/880/990 models can be found everywhere: in recording studios and live broadcasts, as well as in the homes of music lovers and audiophiles.
