Beyerdynamic - DT 990 Edition 600 Ohm

Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 600 Ohm edition or DT 770 Pro 250 Ohm edition are those that I have, can't stop recommending them to people who want best sound quality for a reasonable price

DT 990 Edition is at 32 ohm, no need amp. You should read about open back Vs closed back and see the difference and which is important to you. Beyerdynamic is infamous for its exaggerated sibilance range which is the treble. Some can't handle, I didn't like it but got used to it. Definitely worth mentioning.

I have the opposite reaction. Metal sounds horrible on my 990. It's about the only genre so far I'm not happy with on 990. Are you EQing it?

Hmm that's interesting. Rage against the machine sounds amazing on it but I wouldn't say that's metal. Gojira on the other hand sounds like ass. What are you listening to? Id like to try it out

Did you use the 1990 one from the pdf? Although my 990 isn't there, I tried a different ohm one and didn't enjoy it at all. What's your secret?

I'm glad I only read about stuff like this after I bought my 990 which I think is considered the most harsh sounds? I love it. Yeah the treble is a little harsh but I got used to it in a week, I don't even notice it anymore unless I pay attention. Everything else is amazing. It's a WAY better than PC38X that people recommend every time when it comes to gaming.

Pretty much my journey. Ended with DT990 and happy with it. Still every time PC38X comes up, it gets raving reviews. I always try to interject and point out how garbage it is except for footsteps.

Looks like a DT 990 Premium to me... Nothing that would be screaming 'fake' about it IMO, but then again, that's just one picture. What makes you feel they could be?

I would take the DT 990 Pro X. I had the DT 990 Edition myself. This allows you to locate opponents well, because of the open construction, and music sounds detailed and very spatial. The DT 990 Pro X has an improved driver and you can swap the cable, good for longevity.

The design is a matter of taste. I prefer the old one to the old one, such as the DT 900 Pro X, which looks cheaper to me. The STELLAR.45 driver provides better sound. I would prefer this to the normal version. There is also the DT 990 Edition, which also looks different if you want a certain look. A beauty is otherwise the DT 1990 Mark 1 250 Ohm, which I own, but which costs around 400 euros.

On a side note Beyer DT990 Premium / Edition is the better choice for home/personal use than Pro version (which is made for studio) .same sound,32 ohm but most importantly much more comfortable headband and less clamping force.

Beyer sells them as “Premium” in some regions and “Edition” in others — they’re the same, just different from the “Pro” line (meant for studio use). The main differences with “Pro” : softer headband, less clamping force,different cup design, impedance, and cable type. I had the Pro, but the clamp was too tight and the headband pressure point really hurt top of my head. No problem with the Edition. Pro: 32/80 ohm = straight cable, 250/600 ohm = coiled. Edition: straight cable only. Read more here: https://blog-en.beyerdynamic.com/products-in-comparison-headphones-of-the-edition-and-pro-series/

I haven't tried anything other than the HD6XX, but I would agree about the LCD-X being my favorite. Grouped with my Schiit stack and EQ, these things are beasts. That said, everyone has different experiences. I know some folks who swear by Beyerdynamics, but I hated the highs on the DT990s so much I immediately returned them.

I have some Beyer DT990s i need to fix. My cat chewed the cable in half and so theyve been sitting in a box waiting for me to creck em open and replace the cable. In the meantime ive been using the HD599 from Sennheiser and they have also been great. 

It's worth it to save up for the DT990s. Bear in mind they are very comfortable and can be worn for long periods of time which is why I got them. They are not the most balanced (particularly spatially) and I need to use my monitors sometimes to balance sounds particularly leads or synths. But I like them for comfort and they work well enough. If your budget is low aim for comfort and balance and pick which is most important for you and lean that way. Comfort is more important than balance for me so I went with the BD 990s - as I can always go back to my monitors for balance and then back to headphones.

I have DT 990s i paired them with the fiio K11 Rdr Dac/amp and they sound Mint.

Dt990's, I can hear through time. Has not made me a better player, however.
