Review: Awesome, definitely need a headphone amp to power the 250 Ohm version. - So this is an out of the box review of the 990 edition, so first 24 hours of ownership. I am a bit of a headphone nerd so can tell pretty quickly if I’m going to like a pair of headphones. I currently own AKG 702 & 7xx, senn HD6xx and Philips X2HR headphones so I am comparing the 990’s to those directly. I bought the “edition” version as I wanted a straight cable and the few other tweaks they’ve made to make them more “home friendly”. Build and design: so they look cool, better in person and feel well built (much better than AKGs for example). I would’ve liked the shells and grills to be metal but this would increase cost and weight so not necessary and purely aesthetic. Comfort: these are very comfortable. When you first put them on they don’t feel like they are going to be as comfortable as people make out but very quickly you forget you’re wearing them. I would rate them right up there on comfort out of the box. Most people rave about 650/6xx being comfortable, rubbish, those things hurt unless you’ve got a peanut sized head or you stretch out the headband which is easy to do. These need no “breaking in” in the comfort dept. Sound (most important bit): these are right up there with the best at under 500 dollars/pounds. They seem to tick all the boxes and combine all the best bits of the other headphones. They have plenty of bass but not too much, clear highs and have an airy feel to them or “wide soundstage” for all the audiophile nerds out there. Negatives: I have got the 250 ohm variant and they are a beast to power. I have the 300 ohm 6xx and the 990’s are harder to power than those. I have a zen DAC currently which powers them ok but I’ve had to crank it to over 2 O clock on the DAC to get a good volume level (I do listen to metal so quite loud). The zen isn’t the most powerful so your mileage may vary but a headphone amp is a must for these. Go for the lower resistance headphones if you don’t want to buy or do not have a headphone amp. I love these headphones and they are definitely going to be keepers. My 702’s have already been packed away!
Review: Superb gaming headphone and good all-rounder for music - I picked up three pairs of headphones to test with the aim of only keeping one for gaming and music (these were the cheapest of the three). I tested all three pairs with the Audioquest Dragonfly Red, the Chord Mojo, and the Schiit Stack Uber, I was instantly impressed at how much of an all rounder these headphones are. The soundstage is wide and spacious. The sound is crisp and clear (slightly bright) with a great amount of bass. With a bright AMP/DAC these are too bright for music, with a slightly darker or more neutral AMP/DAC these are a very good all rounder for music. Now to where they really shine... gaming. I can't recommend these highly enough for gaming, although be aware you will need an amplifier as these won't drive very well from a normal headphone port. I use these for PC gaming (of the three AMP/DACs I used only the Schiit Stack works with the PS4). The bass levels are excellent, the soundstage perfect for immersion and the brightness that is present in music works so well here. Lastly, they are like a cloud on my head. I love putting these on. For anyone interested I kept the Sennheiser HD650 also for music. I was so impressed with the DT 990 in games that I decided to keep both. EDIT: I've changed my score from a 4 to 5 star. Having now compared these to the Fidelio X2 (my current favourite headphones), I'm even more impressed by the performance to price ratio. If your spending limit is around the £120 mark then get these, you won't be disappointed. These are still the comfiest headphones I've used. ***Be aware, the 250 OHM version will require an amp. If you're running without get a lower OHM version (I believe there's a 32 OHM version). From what I have read there is no discernible sound difference between the versions.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the cable detachable and how long is it?**
A: No it isn't detachable and it's 3 m long and a straight cable (Pro has a 3 m coiled cable)

**Q: Would both Denon and Marantz mini systems, rated 30 W per channel be powerful enough to drive the 250 ohm version?**
A: Mine is 32 ohm version, working on portable device perfectly. I think you should plug the 250 ohm version into the earphone jack of your mini system.

**Q: How is the bass?**
A: The bass is fairly flat compared to the source recording. These are monitor headphones. The frequency response is fantastic but getting this response to actually play out is rather challenging due to high ohm requirement. So you'll need a good source and a strong, high ohm amplifier for these phones.

**Q: Hello ,i have a musical fidelity x can headphone amp ,would it be compatable with these headphones ?**
A: I'm not sure but you may find it hard to drive these head phones. I looked online and I could not find any headphone output rating for the item. It just says 100mW into 40 ohms....s/n ratio is low so I would say u would need a 32ohm pair to get them to be driven well. Best thing you can do is try a pair and send them back if you can not get a decent volume and detail out of them. Good luck... ; )

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, superbly comfortable open-back headphones (just beware the sound leakage)
*by P***Y on 2 November 2019*

My main reason for buying this was for practicing electric guitar with a Boss ME-80. I wanted open-backed headphones because I didn’t want to be completely cut off from the world while practicing, but wanted to keep the noise level down in the house. The headphones worked perfectly well for this application. Extremely comfortable with the velour ear pads which exerted very little pressure so great to wear for long periods. Also, because these are open-backed my ears didn’t get hot like with close-backed devices. However the open design meant I could hear the strings clearly through the phones which was very odd. As a secondary requirement I wanted to use these to listen to lossless FLAC music using my Naim SuperUniti streaming system. The quality was excellent - clear, open soundstage, superb level of detail. Brilliant. Sadly, the open design caused issues because of the level of sound leakage. Made them impractical in a space shared with other people who don’t want to hear the music you’re listening to. Also makes it impossible to listen to music while something else is going on in the room eg someone listening to the TV or kids playing etc. I’d guessed that this might have been an issue with open-backed headphones, but hadn’t realised the level of leakage. So reluctantly I decided to return these and have now made best friends with a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 closed-back headphones. (A minor trade-offs in terms of comfort, but otherwise excellent - see my review of these if you’re interested). I would still highly recommend these if you want to listen to music from a good quality system where you aren’t going to disturb anyone else - like in an apartment for example or in a room on your own. I did try them with an iPad but wouldn’t recommend them because the iPad doesn’t have the grunt to drive them at sufficient volume. You’d need a headphone amplifier.
