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)

Build quality is very good, they do feel "premium". The finish doesn't attract fingerprints which is nice. Comfort is good, you do feel the headband putting a slight pressure the head after a longer session, but it's not bothersome. The velour pads are nice and the ears do not get warm.

Awesome comfort! The frequency response is very good.

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

Using alongside the Xonar Essence STX, this is my first high-end audio setup. I'm relatively inexperienced with the tech behind sound, being more of a videophile myself, but I do know high quality sound from average sound, and my preferences in sound are a bit more strict than anyone I know.

Phenomenal sound on all levels; absolutely breathe taking. Smooth, amazing sound that completely immerses you in what you're listening too. Extremely comfortable; I wear them for hours every day and I don't feel right sitting at my computer without them on my head

Have had some issues with the drivers handling bass intensity on some things; but this has been worked out for the time being

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

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

As headphones become fashion accessories geared toward on-the-go use with mobile devices, pairs intended purely for home use are becoming a rarer sight. The $379 Beyerdynamic DT 990 (32 Ohm) is that even rarer beast, with an impedance designed for use with mobile devices and home stereo gear...

Superb audio performance with an accurate response across the board; Well-cushioned and comfortable over long listening periods despite its large frame

Hardwired cable; Bulky frame not for everyone

The Beyerdynamic DT 990 Edition will be a real hit with lovers of acoustics, classical music and dynamically mixed music. Whether its slight over-presence in the high-frequency range is perceived as too intense is a matter of taste and also depends on the preferred musical style.

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.

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.
