beyerdynamic DT 900 PRO X Open-Back Studio Mixing & Mastering Headphones | Open-back Design, STELLAR.45 driver, Detachable Cable, Memory Foam Ear Pads, Mixing & Mastering, 48 ohms, Made in Germany

Rather than write majestic prose at length, I'll stick to a list of comparisons with the DT 1990 Pros, and possibly also the 1770 Pros. The 900 Pro X don't have a small sound stage, but I would call it intimate, and especially so when A/B tested against the 1990 Pros. This isn't a bad thing, and has it's advantages. Do you like your instruments closer or farther away? Imagine is excellent is either case. Bass is more emphasised with the 900 Pro X. It's more present without EQ, though not quite to the level of the 770s or 1770 Pros (I haven't heard how the 700 Pro X compare). This makes the headphone a rather fun listen. Mids and highs aren't as glorious as with the 1990 Pros, but if you didn't know any better you wouldn't miss it, and even if you did know better, the fun of the headphone more than makes up for it. These are the sorts of fine, oh so very fine differences between female vocals sounding more or less natural. The 1990 Pros win technically, but I still find myself lost in the 900 Pro X for hours. The combination of emphasised bass, sound stage and imagine make the 900 Pro X superb for gaming, and even more so than the 1990 Pro (to my ears). And, they're more portable and less dear to one's wallet. For my head comfort is great, and I haven't had any issues with clamping force after extended listening. The included cables are decent, but the ones with the 1990 Pro are better. The earpads are great, but you only get the one pair. They've got the Beyer shape, so you know what you're getting if you've tried any other Beyer headphone. They're semish open back. Noise gets in and out, but that's just a fact of open back headphones. I will say, however, that they look worse in person than they do in pictures. The plastic is well done, there's just something about it that looks odds. The 1990 win the aesthetic contest no problem. And, while the treble peak is muted, this is still a Beyer headphone. Personally, the peak has never bothered me outside of that one song by Sleigh Bells. I like them. I'm going to keep them for gaming and where I need portability, or a bit of fun for a change against the technical grace of the 1990s. Well worth it, in my view.

Incredible experience with these headphones. The DT 900 Pro X studio are just incredibly well-made headphones. Very surprised by the materials, the padding and the comfort. I was looking for well-rounded headphones to connect to my PC and I first tried the Steelseries Arctic Nova Pro Wireless and Non-Wireless versions. I do game on the PC and looking at the reviews the Steelseries were the most well-reviewed ones.... Well, not for me, I decided to go for these Bayerdynamic and thank God I did. It's day and night, the sound is just incredible. The comfort is luxurious and because they are open back my ears are always fresh even after hours of using them. No mic but I don't care, I would much prefer to spend a bit more to get a mic rather than have a poor-quality headphones. Listening to music is just a pleasure. Very balanced with not the best Bass but nothing to worry about. Go for these if you are unsure of what to get if you are looking for a game/music headphones. They can be a bit loud because there is no insulation within the earcups but if it comes down to preferences and needs, if this is a concern get the 700 pro.

Early days. I am not an audiophile and will be using the headphones for tv and listening to cd’s. No comfort problems though I do not have a big head. Have to be careful with the connection lead at the top of both of the earcups. It is thin and does need better protection. Sound wise I do hear slight sibilance at times with vocals on tv. I will have to try to find the easiest way to improve it …..but if I don’t it is not an issue. Why 5 out of 5? I listened to some old cds. Eagles, Elvis and Ella Fitzgerald. Ella’s voice sounded rich deep and glorious compared to listening to it on other cheap headphones and quite good quality earbuds. The whole track sounded wonderful. I have no comparable headphones to compare them with but I am very happy.

I bought this headphone thinking of a possible replacement for my older Philips Fidelio X2HR headphones so I obviously tested it against it and also, against the DT700 Pro X and the Apple Airpods Max. To start with, they come well protected inside a cardboard box as per first photo, with two 3.5mm-to-mini XLR cables of different lengths and a quality textile travel/storage pouch. To the sound, as after all that's the most important aspect, their sound is clear and detailed with just the right amount of bass, however, when compared against the Philips Fidelio X2, I found the Beyers have much more pronounced high-mids especially, the tom and snare drums sounding too harsh for my ear in comparison with the other headphone. Their soundstage is not as wide as the Philips and also their overall sound not so warm. The difference is not spectacular but noticeable to my ear. The bass is exactly the right amount and probably on par with the Philips Fidelio, however, depth-wise, both headphones cannot reproduce the bass depths of the AirPods Max. When comparing the DT900 Pro X against the closed-back DT700 Pro X, I like the sound of the former much better, as the latter, have a much more powerful bass due to their closed design and not necessarily sounding better. As for comfort, they are OK but again, not more comfortable than the Fidelio over long periods of listening. Of all the 4 headphones I compared (see last photo) I still prefer the AirPods Max, which is a different league altogether in terms of sound quality, with deeper bass, wider sound stage, warmer mids and highs and better overall quality. They are expensive, but then the sound quality aside, they have many other features like noise cancelling, spatial sound, on-earphone controls and seamless integration with the iPhone. In conclusion, for about 200£, the DT 900 Pro X are definitely not worth over my older Philips Fidelio X2 headphones, which to my ear sound better, are more comfortable and also substantially cheaper.

DT 900Pro X are a very good pair of headphones. Bought for gaming on my PC I tried the DT990 Pro X at the same time and found the treble far too overpowering although they were slightly more comfortable than the 900Pro X. The DT 900Pro X are well balanced and sound fantastic. I’ll be trying them with a DAC tomorrow which should improve the sound further. I’m my opinion don’t waste your time with the DT990Pro X get the DT900Pro X

This is an edited review, after they broke, just four months after the 2-year warranty expired. Best sounding cans I've ever owned. Probably the loudest too. Very comfortable to wear for long periods. I used them for tracking, mixing and mastering trance and techno, for which they have served me very well... right up until a few months after the 2-year warranty expired and a number of faults appeared. There are some serious quality issues with these headphones. The headband cushion/pad fell apart within 6-months of moderate use. Cracks started to appear in the ear cups after about a year and one of the headband sliders snapped. After just under two and a half years, the bow cable, (the cable that connects the right driver to the left) developed a fault and the right driver stopped working. They don't sell a replacement bow cable for this model, so the only thing you can do is buy a full replacement headband assembly for £66, which is ludicrous. I am not paying an additional £66 to repair a pair of headphones I paid £250 for, just over 2 years ago. These headphones are made of cheese. For the price, you'd expect to get more than 2.5 years out of them. I have other headphones that have had harder lives that are 20+ years old. Sony MDR-V6, Technics RP-DJ1200 and Sennheiser HD25 - All significantly outlasted the 900 Pro X. To say that I'm a bit miffed is an understatement. They sound great and are very comfortable, but they are not good value for money. They are badly made. If you want longevity and economic repairability, buy something else.

Always wanted to try Beyer headphones as everyone always raved about them especially for gaming. The build quality is the best I've felt on a pair of headphones and that's where the positives end for me. I've heard you kinda need to wear in these to get the best comfort but I wasn't willing to test them for that long as they weren't all that comfortable due to the cups being a circle and not oval shaped plus the added weight from high quality materials. On top of that the sound is pretty awful, so bassy and at the same time really muddy. It's quite bizarre to me how they're rated so highly in the community

Great audio quality and comes with high quality cables. I think the value for money is high with these and can see why they're a common choice by music producers/streamers.

Excellent sound profile

El producto cumple perfectamente por el precio, unos audífonos de 48 homs generan gran versatibilidad para utilizar en casi cualquier reproductor de audio que tenga salida auxiliar, incluye 2 cables uno corto y uno largo. Construcción: Físicamente es en su mayoría plástico pero de muy buena calidad lo que significa que resistirá muchos años. Sonido: excelente, es muy divertido para escuchar música, muy buen bajo ( sin exagerar ) agudos muy agradables, y la separación de sonido es muy limpia. PC Gaming: otro motivo por el cual me decidí por estos es porque leí muy buenas reseñas, pasé de utilizar unos audífonos HD 600 a estos, y en gaming los Dt 900 pro X se lo llevan de calle para juegos tipo FPS, es muy fácil distinguir si un enemigo viene por izquierda, derecha, enfrente, atrás, arriba, abajo, pero no solo eso, espacialmente puedes ubicarlos perfectamente gracias al soundstage y el Imaging que ofrece, 10-10 para jugar. Antes probé unos Astro A40 TR y estos a pesar de tener un soundstage más amplio, estos tienen mal Imaging ( sabes que viene el enemigo pero no puedes tener un buen nivel de posicionamiento como el que ofrecen los DT 900 pro X) los astro en calidad auditiva ni comparar no son rival. Resumen: los DT 900 pro X, cumplen Perfectamente a mi gusto lo que vale, obtienes un producto de buena calidad, buenos materiales, comodidad, y lo recomendaría para personas no tan exigentes en audio pero tampoco a los que quieren quedarse en lo básico.

This is a great headset in terms of sound quality. The headband quality is poor. The band broke before the 1 year anniversary of purchase. Is not covered by warranty and they sell it as an accessory. You can read several reviews around stating that it didn't last 4 months, etc. Mine started to break around the 6 month mark and completely detached before 1 year, I use these headphones daily 6+ hours. Again sound quality is superb.

First off the seller is great, and was quick to reply and solve my problem. The product is amazing, sound is high quality, has comfortable ear muffs, worth every dime

Open-back Design comes with benefits and it’s shortcomings. Overall a quality product and I’m loving it!! Professionals can check for the sound curve and for beginners it’s a worthy upgrade. +This is remarkable piece of equipment for Critical Listening giving a wider soundstage -Being open-back means it is not insulated and sound will leak in or out. +Sound reproduction is gooood! It’s clean with clear and thumpy base. Good highs, mids & low ends. +comfy and airy ear cushions also replaceable +clamping action is comfortable for long sessions +good for sound mixing and mastering, even better in a controlled environment like a studio -not advisable for recording, closed version dt 700pro x is a better option because of the closed-back design If you are someone who likes to hear instruments clearly, enjoy the vocals, don’t like overpowering bass without compromising the thump in the lows like kick drum, then this does it with a breeze. Construction quality is superb and sturdy. Speaks volumes of quality. Designed for audio production but also for people who appreciate clean audio.
