About this deal
Comfort: 5 stars - Pretty fluffy ear cups. I wear glasses and my deal breaker is that the headphones do not press my ears too hard against the frame of the glasses. I do however fear that during summer the ear cups will be a bit too warm.
The low end was ok in most cases. It didn't have impact, weight or transient as DT770 but it is there. This is what I thought before I moved to the other music genres. They are one of the most comfortable headphones with a cushioned headband, and large ear cups. The ear cups are covered with a soft and plush material. If you prefer a tight fitting, you may find the clamping force a little weak. However, if you regularly have lengthy listening sessions to your music, you will appreciate the work Beyerdynamic has put into their build: (replaceable) grey velour ear pads epitomise comfort, fitting snugly around your ears, while gently clasping your head with the right amount of snugness.Below is a step-by-step guide for setting up Sonarworks calibrated headphones to help you on your way If you are considering a set of individually calibrated headphones from Sonarworks. Average Headphone Calibration:Sonarworks provides a good list of average headphone calibration profiles that represent a general response curve characteristic for many popular headphone models. These are easy to use and do give n improved listing experience, but as these average profiles are only a broad representation, they do fall short of providing Reference with the best possible starting point compared to using individual calibrations.
Perhaps one of the defining features of the DT990s are the over-ear, padded velour ear pads which provide superior comfort for longer mixing and mastering sessions. I dismantled the headphones, the cups inside are the same, with the same number of holes, they close tightly. this is to protect against channel imbalances such as in the DT250/(80 or 250 ohm).The Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro Headphones are professional headphones. Therefore, you can use them for mixing, mastering, and recording in the studio. We used these headphones with various desk setups for studio use. We also used the Beyerdynamics DT 990 Pro Headphones for listening to music, watching TV, and gaming. The Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro Headphones are professional-grade headphones.
Several years ago we reviewed and tested Sonarworks Headphone Calibration Softwareusing a set of KRK 8400, which came from Sonarworks with an individual calibration profile. The Headphone Calibration component in Reference and Systemwide software works in a similar way to the main Speaker Calibration section. Both aim to provide flat frequency response in monitoring, but unlike speakers, the user doesn’t have the means to measure the response of headphones. However, the good news is that Sonarworks offer several solutions to this:
One other thing to consider is that the ribbed outer body of the ear cups let sound seep through its gaps – the ‘semi’ open design will share your playlist publicly if you choose to take these on your travels.
