Unbelievable headphones!!
I finally decided to take the plunge into a really nice set of headphones – my nicest set previously was a set of $60 Sennheiser HD 429’s. While those were decent, they didn’t come anywhere close to some of the high end cans that I had tried and I got tired of being disappointed every time I listened to music or watched a movie with them. After months of shopping around online and reading reviews I decided to visit a music store to try some out. After all my due diligence I had settled on the Audio-Technica ATH-M50S but I didn’t buy them at the store since I knew I could get them online for cheaper. Well, when I went to buy them here on Amazon I read through a few reviews and saw Beyerdynamics mentioned over and over again, and after reading a lot about them I decided that I wanted to spend a few more bucks and try out the DT-990 Pro 250 Ohm. It was a bit of a risk since I hadn’t tried them in person but knew I could return them if not happy with them. Well, they showed up today – in fact I’m listening to them right now – and let me just say that as soon as I finish this review I’m going to buy another pair for my wife.Bottom line: WOW! The sound that these headphones produce is the most open, deep, detailed, crystal clear sound that I have ever heard. I was a bit concerned about the 250ohm rating at first because I didn’t know if my gear would be able to drive them without an amp, but both my PC and Oknyo receiver can power them with no problem. I do have to crank it to about 80% of max volume on my PC to get the sound level that I want, so I’ll still probably invest in an amp to be able to drive them at a lower level for cleaner sound. I also want to be able to use them with my wife in the theater room after the kids have gone to bed and I’ll need a multi-channel amp to do that. But holy cow these things have low hitting bass, the midrange is tight and crystal clear, and the highs are powerful but not overpowering. They are very well balanced. So far I’ve listened to some rap/hip-hop, metal, emo, classical, and even opera, and these things shine with any genre! I am so excited to watch a movie them. I really like the open back and I think that’ll be nice when watching a movie with the wife so we can still talk to each other without having to completely remove the headphones.These are worth every penny if you’re in the market for a nice high-end set of headphones. The only drawback is that you can clearly hear everything that you’re listening to on the outside due to the open back, and I imagine they won’t block outside noise very well, but I just plan to use them at home in a quiet environment like my office or theater room where it won’t matter if they leak a little sound and there won’t be any ambient noise to worry about.P.S. Forgot to talk about comfort, which is OFF THE CHARTS! They a have nice furry covers which are extremely comfortable, the clamping pressure isn’t too tight, and I FINALLY found a set of cans that has openings big enough to fit my huge ears! With the M50S that I was going to buy my ears hurt after demoing them for about 20 minutes, and the clamping pressure was pretty tight but I read you can stretch them out to improve that. But I’ve been wearing these straight out of the box for nearly 2 hours now and just took them off and I don’t even feel like I’ve been wearing anything. That is so much better than the normal 5-10 minutes of aching ears after taking off pretty much any other set of headphones that I have ever used. So if you have large ears or a big head these are perfect for you!

Absolutely worth the buy.
If you’re like me, then you probably spend hours and hours researching different products, comparing the prices and the pros and cons of many products. Headphones included. For me, I have had a set of AD900x headphones for a few years, and the cable gave out, so I opted to try a new set of headphones. It was down to 3 choices within the same price range, all open back. The Sennheiser HD599, The Beyerdynamic DT990, or just settling for another pair of AD900x’s. (Sadly couldn’t really consider anything AKG because every model I saw in the same price range required an amp.) I don’t know whether to call myself an audiophile or not, but I would like to say that I pay very close attention to sound, and its very important to me. Perhaps the most crucial part of a headphone for obvious reasons. I’m not a professional, just an average guy that loves/has good sound equipment. I would like to offer some clarification, at least that my ears have heard, as I have had the opportunity to own all 3 sets due to some circumstances that Ill discuss later. Here’s a comparison with the 3 different headphones I was in the market for.Sennheiser HD599: Pleasant.These headphones to my ears are designed to sound pleasant, not necessarily accurate. At first I was worried about that, especially hearing about the signature “Sennheiser Veil” That everyone talks about. I’m pleased to say that despite my worries, they did an amazing job with what they were marketed for. They do have a small “Veil” That some people may or may not like, but the veil is essentially to my ears a cut in the high mid frequencies. These are the frequencies that are very harsh, and the high highs are still perfectly sparkly and sounded very nice. I found myself going to these headphones for relaxation and for pure enjoyment. You could definitely fall asleep wearing them as many have said. I recommend these headphones for ones that want to relax or have a “milder” sound with their setup. To my ears they seem to have the most bass out of the 3 as well. Again, I was afraid I would not like them because I was afraid that I would not like the sound signature of them, but I was very pleased. Unfortunately, I had to return them due to a defect which made the balance shift to the right side that made it louder. They were a used set, which is something to keep in mind.AD900x: Natural.The best selling point of these headphones in my opinion are their soundstage. Its the best soundstage I’ve heard out of the 3. And they also to my ears have the most neutral tuning out of the 3 headphones. They are also incredibly comfortable, despite their “gimmicky” Headband design, I actually quite liked them a lot. As much as 4 years worth to be exact. This design made them very light, so many times I would forget that they were on my head. I find myself using these headphones if I want to feel like I am in the room with whatever I’m listening to. They had enough treble to get the job done which I enjoyed. The bass is also there, although a little light. I feel that with the amazing soundstage, some detail had to be sacrificed, including the bass. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I recommend these headphones for ones that want the most neutral sound out of the 3, and who want superior soundstage, who don’t mind a small loss of detail. Like feeling like you are actually walking through that forest, or that you’re actually there listening to the orchestra.DT990: Detailed.It seems that these headphones are designed mainly for studio production. And if that’s the case, I wholeheartedly recommend these headphones, which is what I’m currently using now. The ones that I got were the 80 ohm edition if that matters. I have it plugged straight into my motherboard. These headphones offer the most details out of the 3, which I really like. Due to the defect in the Sennheisers mentioned above, I decided to try these. I was very worried about the treble response that everyone keeps complaining about, but decided to bite the bullet, as I could easily EQ it out. I’m pleased to say that for my ears, that is not an issue. In fact, if people hadn’t been complaining about it, I probably wouldn’t have noticed it. Yes, they are nice and bright, but I like them. Its like a speaker with tweeters vs without. COULD it be harsh? I suppose perhaps, but its not so much making the treble overwhelming, more so reproducing it much more effectively. Again to MY ears. If I want to hear exactly where my opponent is coming from, or exactly how loud I should have a certain track in my mixes, or even just listening for things I haven’t heard before in songs I like a lot, I find myself using these headphones. I also find these headphones to have a better bass response then the AD900x’s. I recommend these headphones for anyone that wants to hear every little detail of whatever they’re listening to, especially useful for producing or mixing audio.Conclusion: My personal favorites are the DT990s for their excellent detail in their sound. They are also extremely comfortable due to their amazing ear pads. But you cannot go wrong with any of the above mentioned sets. They are all excellent sets, and do what they are made for, and do it well. If you have a preference having one feature over another, then I recommend going with the headphone that suits your need the best. But i will say the DT990s have a build quality and sound quality to my ears that is hard to match.Nutshell:Sennheiser HD599: ComfortAudio Technica AD900X’s : SoundstageBeyerdynamic DT990s: DetailsHope this was able to help everyone who reads this. I had many questions and hopefully this can help others who have similar questions. Cheers!

I wanted a open back set of headphones, to go with my V Moda M100’s closed backsWhile the bass can’t touch the M100’s , the open sound stage and imaging are fantastic, when I run through my Marantz cd6007 or PM8006 the overall sound from these far exceeds the price pointThese are very light with soft velvet ear pads, overall comfort is hard to beatThey sound as good as a set of electrostatics, the money saved bought a really good cartridge for my Sota SaphireThey need a minimum 10 hours burn in , out of the box they sound thin and lifelessGreat sound, value and comfort

Aqui la humilde opinion de un fanático a la musica. Compré la versión de 80 ohms. [ Rectificando mi Opinion despues de 8 meses de uso]Calificando del 1 al 10 comparando calidad- precio.Construcción: 8.5 ya que el cable no es desmontable y algunos puntos te pondrán medio nervioso(a) pero eso es todo la calidad en general es muy buena.Comodidad: 10 sin pensarlo; son ligeros, super comodos por largas horas de uso y el cable no pesa.*Calidad de Sonido en frecuencia plana.Graves: 10 Simplemente hermosos, excelente extensión de graves, son bajos correctos, limpios, con 0 reververacion y 0 ganancia extra.Medios: 9.2 Estan bien, son claros pero como que les falta poquito mas. Eso si, no se que tienen pero para aquellos que amanos la belleza femenina, las voces de mujer aqui son un deleite al oido.Agudos: 10 asi de simple; no lastiman, son aereados, muy precisos y con mucho detalle.En general son una casi excelente calidad de audio por su precio, por algo son legendarios en el campo de la masterización, aqui si van a encontrar muchos detalles en la musica y si una canción fue mal grabada desde el estudio aqui si lo van a notar. Por el precio es de lo mejor que puedes encontrar. Un DAC AMP es recomendable mas no necesario para la versión de 80Ω te van a funcionar bien casi con cualquier dispositivo en un volumen decente. Sin embargo con un DAC AMP mejoras un poco mas la calidad de sonido en todas las frecuencias, yo los uso con un Fiio K3.OJO: El sonido cambia de manera positiva conforme los vas usando a los 3 o 4 meses de uso van a notar la diferencia. Al principio yo sentia que les faltaba bajo y que los medios estaban apagados y los agudos se sentian un poco acentuados pero no, como que los drivers se aflojan con el tiempo y mejoran en manera notable.Estos audifonos yo los recomiendo para quienes quieran empezar a introducirse al mundo audiofilo y no cuenten con mucho presupuesto.

J’ai prit ce casque pour utilisation sur mon PC fixe ( gaming / discord et vidéo) je voulais un casque ouvert car je ne supporte pas l’effet “sous l’eau” des casque fermé quand on parle , de plus chez moi c’est très calme donc aucune raison d’avoir une isolation sonore ( ça m’évite d’ailleurs de gueulé sans m’en rendre compte). J’ai prit le casque en 80ohm pour plusieurs raison le casque dans cette configuration à un tout petit plus de basse (ce que je préfère) certes au prix d’une légère perte dans les précisions des aigues mais honnêtement c’est du chipotage pour une utilisation gaming (le 250omh n’aurai jamais vraiment montré son plein potentielle). Ma carte mère dispose d’une petite puce qui fais “pré ampli” et peu faire tourné un casque de 80ohm facile cependant j’ai quand même du augmenté le volume du casque pour avoir un peu de puissance (je suis passer de 50% a 80%) je pense que le casque avec une vrai interface audio (que je vais bientôt acheter (une SSL2) ) le casque pourrai me réservé quelque chose de fou , je métrai a jour le commentaire pour vous dire mon ressentie. En tout cas même sans interface audio ou carte son de folie le casque est déjà super ! le son est d’excellente qualité et le confort du casque ( à mon sens l’un des points le plus incroyable) est fou je peu le porté pendant plusieurs heure sans avoir l’impression d’avoir quelque chose sur la tête ! plus petit point positif pour la réparabilité du casque , quasiment tout les composant de ce dernier ce trouve sur le site officiel ou même Amazon , un casque increvable en somme.
