The DT 990 Edition headphones for the home and the DT 990 PRO studio headphones: Both are identical in sound. Identical sound transducers are used. However, the edition models have a slightly softer headband for music enjoyment at home while the Pro model sits somewhat tighter on the head, in order to stay in position with frequent movements during a studio session. In addition, the PRO version is delivered with a spiral cable and the edition version with a straight cable.

Authentic purity sound reproduced,not seasoned stuff sound Not as much emphazie as AKG mid upper high tone definition,but certainly tighter bass than Shenheisser style,Drive direct at 100 % volume Samsung mobile phone.Just enough.Expecting a new headphone amp to increase damperness factor and driving voltage.If this success to a tighter control of the ear pieces,see
Best Headphones I've ever heard They are comfortable even when on my head for an extended period of time, and have allowed me to much better enjoy the content I’m viewing and appreciate the audio a lot more than I used to with cheaper 50 headphones. Worth the extra cost.
Great for Audiophiles! After years and years of using gaming headsets (including very expensive ones). They were just not hitting the spot when it comes to music. After doing lots of research I decided to buy a set of these when they had a deal on them. Wow… I had to buy an external DAC to get the full performance. But these are the best sounding (and feeling) headphones I have ever owned. They have given me a significant advantage in gaming and hearing footsteps as well as hearing things in music that I have never heard before.
Amazing They aren’t noise cancelling due to it being open back. But they’re a brilliant pair of headphones for gaming and listening to music. Would recommend overall. Well worth the price.
Needs external powe Nice and comfortable but I unfortunately sent them back.
I wanted something I could plug directly into my computer and enjoy my games and music but these will require an additional amp or DAC to push more power. They’re simply too quiet without. Also quite heavy on treble but I did switch from dr. dre beats which are horrendously heavy on bass
What a pair of headphones! Been after a decent pair of cans for a while now to replace some Razer cans for long gaming sessions. I play a lot of CoD etc so hearing everything is important and these deliver!
Make sure you’re running something like an GoXLR or similar as at 250 Ohms they require some driving.
Build quality is excellent and love the coiled cable. No complaints from me so far!

Best home sound I've experienced
Excellent sound quality, couldn’t imagine using my computer without these now.
Paired with an amp these are all you need for a good price as an intro to truly good sound

I’m Just up to my 5th year using these and all I can say is, wow.
They have taken a good beating over the years, but not once have they broken, unlike other brands and multiple poor purchases in the past.
The sound quality is way beyond what the price tag makes you believe you’ll be getting, you won’t find a good of a deal as this.
I need to revamp mine and replace the ear pads and the headband in the near future, then hopefully I will enjoy many more years with them.
Amazing
