Une valeur sûre

Reviewed in France on 3 May 2018

Size: 250 OHMColour: Limited Edition - BlackVerified Purchase

Casque de référence dans cette gamme de prix il va taquiner des casques coûtant plusieurs fois son prix sans problème.

Je l'ai possèdé en 250 ohm pro, 32 ohms premium et 600 ohms premium et maintenant en 250 ohm pro limited édition.

Bref c'est un casque que l'on regrette une fois vendu et je suis revenu et je ne compte plus le vendre.

Grave présent mais qui ne prend pas le dessus c'est hyper rapide et défini.
Médium au top très défini et aéré.
Aigu incisif et détaillé.
Spatialisation très ouverte et large ça respire.
Confort au top comme d'habitude chez beyer un peu plus de clamping que les versions premium mais ça reste très tres confortable.

Ce casque existe depuis un peu plus de 35 ans c'est un casque qui ne se démode pas et c'est une preuve que c'est un excellent casque.
Il coûtait plus de 400e à l'époque.

Bref c'est du moyen haut de gamme à prix d'ami il surpasse sur pas mal de point un HD600 et HD650 si on adhère à sa sonorité qui est fun et typé hi-fi, il peut même rivaliser sur certains points avec un hd800 par exemple.

C'est le casque fun de la gamme beyer.
Le dt880 que je possède aussi est ultra neutre
Dt770 est plus fun que le dt880 mais moins que le Dt990 sauf pour la version 80 ohm mais on perd en spatialisation pour le dt770.

Je possède comme casque akg k702, dt880 600 ohms, hd600 et HD650 de sennheiser, hd598, dt770 80 ohms, sr125 grado, Philips fidelio x2, msr7 audio technica, sennheiser momentum m2 over ear, flc8, audio technica ckr9 et d'autres que j'ai vendu

Donc le Dt990 est dans le top 3 de mes meilleurs casques si pas mon préféré.
Ça sonne façon analytique mais c'est fun ça tape bien quand il le faut il y a du grave et des aigus et même du médium même si moins poussé que sur un sennheiser pour le médium ça reste ultra cohérent et hyper détaillé, aéré et plaisant à écouter en tout temps.

Une valeur sure, vous pouvez l'acheter les yeux fermés :)

Friggin Amazing. Well done, Beyerdynamic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 December 2015

Size: 250 OHMColour: Limited Edition - BlackVerified Purchase

I normally don't write reviews but.......Put simply: I friggin love these cans.

I was hesitant to pull the trigger on these at first , because they are 250 ohms and it's generally required to use an amp with these ( which i don't have yet). However , even plugged straight into my Macbook Pro they sound amazing.

I have a pair of AKG K550s and even though those are lovely headphones , ever since i got these the AKGs are gathering dust. These Beyers have a much better overall sound than the AKGs and the sound stage is just amazing ( i think due to the nature of the open-back design).

Now one minor gripe i have with these is that the headphones are made out of plastic and not aluminium , but they're incredibly well-built. And being made of plastic, they are quite light and therefore - very comfortable to wear over extended periods of time.

Considering the price and the fact that these are Made In Germany , this is an incredible deal in my book. If you are on the hunt for a pair of open-back headphones , definitely give these a shot.

Look good but Grado sr325e better (see note)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 November 2019

Size: 250 OHMColour: Limited Edition - BlackVerified Purchase

I brought these on the basis of the Beyerdynamic name and having heard the older versions of these type of headphone (both open ear) I was disappointed.

Like other reviewers have said you need a headphone amplifier (proper one like Naim Headline, not a USB plug in rubbish) however, when I compared these to Grado SR325 (G cushions fitted) alongside, the sound from the Grado's was far better in terms of the detail etc. If you listen on a proper set up then you will understand and notice the difference. There is plenty of bass on the Grado's aswell if you get the right cushions / set up.

The comfort on the Beyers is great (no question) with the padded headphone band and velour ear pads but the build quality on the Grado's is better when you compare them side by side. The lead on the Grado's (far far thicker) is streets ahead of the Beyers which is thin.

The Grado's are twice the price BUT if you pay the extra £4 and get Sodial G cushions for them it makes them better than the Beyers. They are also easier to drive .

The build quality of the Beyers seems to have gone down a notch or two from the older ones (15-16 years ago or more) which could explain why they are in the price bracket they are. I think the older ones were well over £200-£300.

The DT1990's may be better (I've not tried them) but these at £369 are over £100 more than the Grado's.

To sum up, the Beyers are not a bad headphone just not up to the mark of the older versions and you need to pay extra to get headphone amp to drive them properly.

Deeply impressed.

Size: 250 OHMColour: Limited Edition - BlackVerified Purchase

Okay so I started researching headphones a while ago and being new to the whole "how much for those cans??!!" market, I was sceptical of how much of a difference they would make and nervous about which ones to get.

Short review line is, these are excellent. Job done, you can go now.

Not satisfied? Well I've tested them out against my 5.1 Logitech z906 speakers which are running on an optical connection (worth noting that the DT990s are running from a Creative Labs G5 dac). In games the bass on the headphones is incredible. Cannon fire in World of Warships woke me up and not because it was loud but just because I'd never heard such a boom before. I've also been testing this on music (not an audiophile so bear with me here) and having just ran Masterchef Synesthesiaby by Swede Mason through both, one after the other, the sound was distinctive. I get why people say these cans aren't for bass heads after this test, not that it's from a lack of bass on the cans but because it's airy. The speakers delivered a wall of sound which I felt as much as heard and the result was the bass was powerful but messy. I couldn't tell one bass line from another. With the DT990s I can tell which bass line is doing what without any effort whatsoever but it doesn't assault my head with a rumble designed to make soup of my brain (that's both an advantage and a disadvantage in my book). I can say however that the bass isn't lacking. Spread Your Love doesn't have quite the dirty bass I'm used to. Keine Lust comes through nice and punchy (as I've just found out, ensure you have that dac set to direct audio or you're wasting the potential of these cans) but unlike most headphones, iems and speakers I've tried this track on, I can separate the guitars perfectly, even in the busy chorus.

Now, for build quality, these feel excellent. I've broken many headsets in my time and the only ones to last have been a pair of Sennheiser PC323Ds which these DT990s are replacing. I've got confidence that these cans will last a good long while. They're solid and feel like they're going to be heavy but really aren't when they're on your head. As for fit, I have an inordinately large cranium (stop giggling!) and they fit fine. Firm clamping force fresh out of the box. Nothing uncomfortable. Does feel a little warm around my head but I'm more of a cold weather guy and it's been up to 26c in front of my pc the last couple of nights so I'm putting it down to that.

Accessories wise, you get the necessary and no more. The jack adaptor seems robust and well made (the threads on the screw joint into the 3.5mm work fine, which is usually the test of a decent engineer), the bag is nothing special and there's nothing else in the box.

If you like rock music from System of a Down to AC/DC and Queen Adreena, I'd say you can buy with confidence.

As a parting note, I'm listening to Midlife Crysis by Faith no More as I write this and not only am I finding new pieces of the music that I can enjoy, the bass is there like I've never heard before. It's no longer a background of continual growl without much rhythm but specific notes!

I am very impressed with these cans (as you can probably tell). Now all I'm left wondering at is what you'd get for the £2k cans and above? If this is the lower end of the range then call me a philistine and leave me happy here.

WOW

Finally decided to buy some Audiophile headphones and i cannot believe how incredible these sound. I spent a good few months looking into AMP''s/DACs and different brands but didn't want to completely empty bank account.
I decided on these highly reviewed DT990 250ohm, paired with a FiiO E10K Olympus USB DAC, and the sound is AMAZING.
After reading forum posts and reviews i thought the lack of bass people spoke about would be a bit disappointing but i would use the bass boost option on the DAC to make up for it. But i didn't need too, the bass is really punchy without the boost, and in my opinion for whatever its worth, its the absolute perfect amount.
The build quality is really nice although the outside of the ear cups are plastic, they still look smart and feel really sturdy.
They are also incredibly light and comfortable, I've recently used them for 8'ish hours straight playing games and they felt comfortable the entire time. No sweaty ears or uncomfortable pressure around my ears.

For anyone considering these for PC Gaming, i absolutely recommend getting them, especially with the FiiO E10K DAC. The positional sound is BRILLIANT. I've used Plantronic 780 7.1's,Tritton AX and Kama, Turtle Beach pros, Razer Kraken 7.1, Corsair HS40 7.1 and Sennheiser PC 350SE but the sound quality and directional sound of these DT990's is massively above all of them. When playing with friends who use similar headphones to what i used to use, i now hear things and can pin point the direction of sounds easier and clearer than they do, whether it be nearby footsteps or distant gunfire. I was even accused of ''wall hacking'' yesterday because i could hear other players around walls and corners so clearly and pre-fired.

Highly recommend to anyone looking to really up the audio quality of their music or gaming experience. After years of cheap to expensive ''Gaming Headsets'' i wish i had bought a DAC and decent Audiophile headphones sooner. Best upgrade I've made in years.
