Beyerdynamic's DT 1990 Pro, circumaural headphones intended for use by recording and mastering engineers, are all business in design and function—and at $599.99, quite expensive. The headphones use thick, replaceable cables featuring high-fidelity connections and an open design that provides an excellent sense of space (but takes them out of the running for most live room tracking). They're quite comfortable despite a massive build, and audio performance is exceptionally accurate—a flat response that doesn't ignore the deep bass in mixes, but avoids obvious boosting and cutting.
