Beyerdynamic recently re-released a bunch of headphones under their MANUFAKTUR program, which allows you to tweak the headphones' coloration, impedance, cord style, and other features. The DT 990s were one set of headphones that got this re-release.

I love 'em. The DT990s are amazing once they break in. They have great but not too much bass, mids are warm and highs are clear but not harsh. They sound great on every style of music I throw at it (except for Banda and Country since they're not my cup of purple drank).

This is the ‘Premium' version of the

Big; open sound; Overflow with detail; Very comfortable and accommodating; Sturdy build quality

Rivals have more punch in lower frequencies

My first open back cans and I now truly understand what the fuss about soundstage is all about. It's not just clarity or depth or even the fact that you can hear each instrument on a particular number. The only thing better than this would be to actually be in the recording studio.

Awesome comfort! The frequency response is very good.

The only thing I didn't like was the 9ft cable; It's not detachable and really long if using with Mobile device

I have owned this headphone for almost 3 years and used them for well over 2500+ hours so i thought its time to write a review about them (even though i rather suck at writing reviews)

These open ear studio headphones feature a spring steel headband, single sided cable, soft head pad, and a gold plated stereo mini jack, and come with a quarter inch stereo jack adapter as well.

The sound is really good but the high treble is really spiky. I don't like sibilance sound and after a long period, I had some fatigue. The comfort is excellent and the clamping force is better then on the DT 880 Premium.

It is great!

Great clarity, dynamic range and frequency response. The best deal I saw on the 32 ohm models. No problems with this unit.
