An Icon of the PRO Series, Born for Critical Listening
Part of the historic DT 770/880/990 PRO trilogy, the DT 990 PRO embodies the brand's "open-back" DNA: an airy rendering, clear depth, and transparency that have made it a reference for decades. Within the range, it occupies the open-back model spot, designed to offer a sense of space and exemplary source localization.
For Whom and For What Uses?
Designed for producers, mixers, and creators seeking analytical feedback, these open-back studio headphones excel in mixing, editing, and sound design. Its open nature makes it less suitable for close microphone recordings (due to sound leakage), but it shines when evaluating spectral balance, width, and depth. With its 250 Ohm impedance, it reveals its full potential when connected to a quality audio interface or headphone amplifier. Note: the 80 Ohm version offers slightly softer highs; the 250 Ohm version emphasizes airiness and micro-detail.
What Makes the Difference at Your Mixing Desk
Soundstage, Depth, and Clarity
The open circumaural format provides a wide spatialization and very detailed depth gradation. Panning remains stable, perception of reverbs and delays is facilitated, and small placement adjustments can be judged confidently.
Everyday Comfort and Reliability
The velvet ear pads conform to the ear without causing heat, while the spring steel headband ensures secure and durable support. The 3 m single-sided cable simplifies movement around the workstation without tangling, and the included 6.35 mm adapter allows instant switching from portable devices to studio racks.

Excellent product, for 250 ohms however remember to have a way of amplifying the sound, it is not a simple headphone that plugs into any jack output.
The headphones sound very good, very “airy.”
The comfort is pretty good, it's a bit useful at first and the top of one of my ears was a bit sore, but over time or by forcing the gap slightly, you can improve the comfort.
However, this headset does not cover external noise, I bought it with knowledge of the facts so it is not a defect, but a point to take into account if you are in a noisy environment, in addition the people around can easily hear the sounds coming from your headphones.Automatically translated

I had one that had 4 years of daily use, one ear stopped working after that. So go through the buy-out box here.
Probably the most comfortable headphones I've ever used (thanks the velvet earpads), a good sound that suits me (think of pairing it with an amp to give the headphones the right impedance in my case 250ohms) both when listening to music, playing games or chatting with friends on discord.
I just took away one star for the need to have an amp which takes away the plug'n play aspect a bit but otherwise it's at all good for my taste:)Automatically translated

Headphones for mixing compo are very good for beginners or for beginner amateurs to those who prefer open/semi-open headphones that give a much more critical sound apparently I like open listening, in terms of the perfect value for money, the perfect value for money, the comfort too you will not regret it.
After that, for a much more reliable helmet, you have to pass a cap on the price (600 euros minimum) anyway.Automatically translated

The headphones themselves are a marvel for the price, it's exactly what I was looking for for my studio with a very neutral sound, you can really hear everything and it's very pleasant to mix, alternating with speakers.
Maybe I just regret the cord that can't be removed from the headphones..
(be careful it is an open helmet so use in a quiet environment)Automatically translated

In my opinion the DT-990 pro headphones are professional headphones that offer a neutral and excellent sound for musicians,
producers as well as audiophiles.
The headphones correspond to my needs and I will use them for my electro productions where I am looking for a good quality of sound as well as my sounds appeal to the speakers but above all I live my passion.Automatically translated
