  • A solid headphone with plenty of options for customization.

    The DT 1990 is well constructed, easily repaired/modified, and performs well. The sound characteristics are thoroughly described and measured by multiple different reviewers, so it isn't hard to get the gist of how the sound will compare to other headphones if you look them up online before buying. They have great clarity and frequency extension. They excel at imaging, so they are great for gaming. The bass is tight and well controlled. The default sound signatures are not necessarily for everyone, especially if you are treble sensitive. Luckily, they can be modified easily and extensively. The sound can be adjusted with pads, foam disks, passive filters, or EQ with impressive results. The measurements for many of these modifications are also available online, so you can get an idea of the range of different sound profiles you could aim for.

  • Improved the classic DT990 in every way.

    Well rounded and better than the DT990 in every category. Easy to drive on a 1 watt amp, even a good gaming sound card like an AE-5 or G6 makes them sound great. The sound stage is good, and a lot better for gaming than most planar magnetics because it's wide and deep (not just wide) so you can hear in front and behind you well. Best DAC's are the Khadas tone board or Soundblaster AE-7 for these.

  • Your ears deserve the DT1990s

    The DT 1990s are perfect for the studio. I prefer the optional analytic pads for mixing and mastering, with no loss of detail or low end. The balanced pads installed by the factory provide a bit too much energy to my taste and endurance, but might have greater appeal purely for listening. On that score I was previously talked into purchasing the more expensive Beyerdynamics T1s, which I promptly returned, completely unimpressed for studio use. IMHO, the 1990s are superior in every respect, including the build, and deserve the almost universal recommendations found in related videos. The right-side cable is a bit odd, but also works perfectly for the right-side headphone output on my Presonus mixer. I also prefer the coiled cable option for studio use. Your ears deserve the DT1990s.

  • Works like a dream!

    I’m no audiophile(well not a well educated one at least) so take what I say with a grain of salt. These headphones are the best headphones I’ve ever had, they’re so comfortable, I can hear everything but it’s not overbearing and instead it’s more natural. The clamp fits my big head fine, I could wear these all day and I probably will. The pads are so soft and comfortable. These feel worth the price and then some. Everything from the case, to the machining and engineering of the headphones feels like I’m going to either the best studio/movie theater ever. I don’t know any other way to describe how they feel. I’m very happy with my purchase and I’m pretty sure I’ve ruined any other headphone below this price range and maybe even above.

  • Excellent, they compliment each other.

    I'm happy with my investment. This setup sounds excellent together. I'm still experimenting with how different headphones and earbuds sound with the amp. So far everything I hook up is improved. The dt 1990s are awesome. I just got done trying the amp out with a vintage Teac 10 band equalizer. Wow! It's sounds unbelievable playing around with the frequency spectrum with these headphones on. It was worth it to go with German electronics!

  • Splendid headphone

    The DT 1990 is a superb headphone. I tend to like a "brighter" sounding 'phone. The criticism of the "Beyer House Sound" is that it is TOO bright, sibilant, piercing. My experience with the DT 1990 does not coincide with this critique. I find them to be very revealing while never departing from musicality. Imaging (one of my priorities) is good but not exceptional. In short I find the DT 1990's to be a very enjoyable listen.

  • Sounds great, wide spectrum of audio and not too harsh.

    Received like new, without any blemishes. Sounds great, wide spectrum of audio and not too harsh. Original packing, carry pouch and 1/4" jack adaptor, all look like new.

  • Audio Engineer Approved

    My neighbor was the late Bill Tullis and was his apprentice for audio engineering; Troll as he was called was one of the first audio engineers for Ted Turner. Troll taught me everything to audio engineering and was fun being his apprentice as a college freshman. These headphone audiophiles are a dream. These are a must have for audio engineers!

  • These are great headphones but I thought...

    These are great headphones but I thought they’d be even better. Maybe it’s because I don’t have a lot of FLAC, ALAC or digital music in my collection but when I compared these to my previous headphones, the Beyer DT770s, I realized that these headphones are far superior. So I am satisfied.
