beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO Open Studio Reference Headphones

Product Information

The 1990s come with a vinyl zip-up case, two sets of ear pads (more onto that in the sound section), and two cables: one 3 meters and straight, and the other 5 meters and coiled; as well as two 6. Evaluating the sound quality of the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro is a bit of a challenge as it's actually two different sounding headphones. I also owned the Sennheiser HD580 and HD650, and until recently, I was a huge fan of AKGs, having the K702 65th Anniversary, the K612, the K7XX and the K712 Pro. Depending on what you’re looking for, you can get two frequency responses out of the DT 1990 PRO when you switch the ear pads. Just to be clear, when I am listening to music for pleasure, I am listening to it for my own pleasure, therefore “how the artist intended it” is something that takes a back seat (if you want to know more on my thoughts about this subject of EQ, you can read this post: https://achoreviewsenglish.

Here it may be just perfect after a couple of months, I guess thats why its such a strong grip to begin with, its supposed to be more comfortable over time. If this peak was not there, or if it was at least smaller in size, the DT 1990 Pro would actually be a pretty enjoyable headphone. With a robust and easily adjustable smart headband and aluminium end piece, the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro headphones provide a performance that's bound to last a lifetime thanks to its elite craftsmanship!Featuring an open-back design, alongside Beyerdynamic’s innovative Tesla drivers, the impressive DT 1990 Pro headphones are perfect for all applications, listening, mixing and even mastering.

My main test track for this is Hotel California MTV Live performance given I've listened to that song hundreds of times, so I'm familiar with it's positioning and layering. sets of cables, one coiled and one straight, both 3m long, ended with Mini-XLR and additional set of pads. One of the only downsides of the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro is that its highs and bass overwhelm its mids at times. In terms of build quality it's also clearly improved to the other ones, but for comfort I have to note that they are quite heavy (a lot heavier than the 990s, because these are metal as opposed to plastic from the others).Some people suggest using Dekoni Elite Velour pads, but I find the dulled transient response of these ruins the sound, and they are more likely to exaggerate sibilance than the Beyer pads.

If we’re talking about previous series, DT990 despite it being well known in a studio I also know a lot of people who daily drive it as their personal pair for musical experience.Male and female vocals (save for higher female pitch) are about equal in level, with good weight for each. The pace, rhythm and timing of the DT 1990 Pro are truly addicting and, if you’re like us, it’ll be tough to resist the urge to tap your toes along with the music while they’re on your head. Like the DT 990 Pro, these two qualities in particular make the DT 1990 Pro an outstanding option for those looking for an open-back solution for gaming, especially for first-person shooters. When compared the BP DT1990 to the Clear, the Clear has it's center image further away, making instruments and vocals seem more distant. which can result in highlighting sibilant sounds; when it comes to mixing, this could be very useful (since it helps in spotting issues e.

My only concern is that, after long sessions, the heat around the ears can become a little bit annoying, but it's not a major issue since its root cause can be related to lots of different factors. The AP has it's treble cranked up too much, bleeding into in the midrange that voices become a bit lispy or raspy.It's a bit of an inelegant solution, but it helps noticeably in keeping the drivers away from my ears. The only complaints I have for comfort is that the clamp force on these is a little high out of the box, and it put a bit of stress on my jaw. We love that two sets of earpads are included to tailor the sound, giving the headphones a dual personality.
