beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO 250 Ohm
The Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO 250 Ohm model represents professional open-back studio headphones designed for analytical listening, mixing, and mastering. Thanks to their precise frequency response and exceptionally spatial sound, they are among the most widely used reference tools in studios worldwide. The open-back design provides a wide stereo stage, while the high impedance of 250 Ohms ensures an absolutely clean and dynamic performance when connected to a high-quality audio interface or studio amplifier. The DT 990 PRO headphones are equipped with precisely tuned 45mm dynamic drivers that use neodymium magnets and lightweight diaphragms for faithful signal reproduction in the 5–35,000 Hz range. Each pair of headphones is hand-calibrated in Heilbronn, Germany, which guarantees an identical characteristic for both channels and precise spatial imaging without phase shifts.

This model has become a standard in mastering and mixing studios worldwide.
Ergonomics and build quality
The robust steel headband with adjustable pressure ensures a stable fit during long work sessions. Soft, circumaural velour ear pads provide ideal contact with the head and a high degree of ventilation, which prevents your ears from overheating. The 3-metre coiled cable eliminates tension when moving and maintains a continuous, interference-free transmission. The Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO headphones weigh only 250g (without the cable), contributing to their exceptional comfort even during several hours of use.
Mechanical durability and service life
Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO headphones are made from premium, long-lasting components – spring steel, durable GRP plastics, and gold-plated connectors guarantee high mechanical stability. All key points of the construction are designed for easy replacement of spare parts, which significantly extends the overall life of the device. The model is handmade in Germany, where all pairs are acoustically matched to ensure an identical stereo image.
