beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro Acoustically Open Headphones (250 Ohms) with Knox Gear Large Hard Shell Headphone Case Bundle (2 Items)

It’s good but it doesn’t get loud

I’m a V-Moda DJ/Producer and am in love with these after the first time I fired them up.

The sound output is very low. Every device that I plug the headphones into, the sound, sounds very low. I turned the volume up on the devices to the max and its as if its at 10 decibals if the max could be 30...

Many reviewers and youtubers are annoyed with the high frequency. It is in fact noticeable when I use it for watching youtube. I haven’t tried it for watching movie so I can’t say anything in that area.

He likes them a lot

Why would noise cancellation be a rating for open back headphones?? Anyways, I am not sure what the deal is with the headphones. First off not sure if I received a refurbished or a knock off, but I reviewed other comments and appears these phones looks good and cheap at the same time. I hate the cable build. Even for this price it should have been detachable. The sound quality, as soons as I played music it sounded harsh, distorted, the highs were like sizzling in my ears it was likey ears were getting fatigued. So I played another song and another song , old songs from the 80s and every song sounded the same. Now I must say they are very detailed or more like overly detailed. It makes music sound bad. I changed the iTunes EQ to flat and it sounded a tad better. Running this out my Apollo twin interface which has enough power to push these, but I found turning the volume down LOW helped the ear fatigue but still the music sounded a mess. I found one song that sounded decent. How am I supposed bro know how to mix with these ? My judgement will be so far off comparing the mix from these with other cans. I am waiting for a high quality headphone amp to see if this makes a difference. But so far not pleased. But whats strange is I demoed these at guitar center and it sounded sooo superb which is why I bought these. I figured I got a bad pair but reading up on other reviews most everyone says the same thing. I am lossed. And cannot ever recommend these to anyone.

I’ve had these for a few weeks now and they are great! They have excellent sound for gaming, music, YouTube, Netflix, video conferences for work. I have not found a single thing to complain about when it comes to sound. I upgraded to these from a high end gaming headset and I will say they these aren’t nearly as comfortable for long term gaming but the sound quality more than makes up for it. Fantastic headset. The directional sound is fantastic when gaming.

As expected.

You have a 250 ohm headphone and more than likely your sound card doesn’t output more than 120 at best. Most likely 80.
