Review: Great headphones, especally at £325 - so i saw these on sale on desertcart and thought no time like the present to buy a pair being i have had my eyes on them for a good while. Build the build on these is about as premium as it gets even putting my workhorses the HD600s to shame in this department, they have strategically placed metal on the build and very high-quality lightweight plastics. they also have a leather headband and a metal grill with chrome lettering, they look simply amazing and no pictures do them the justice they deserve truly. the single-sided XLR connector isn't great as it adds some weight to one side of the headphone upsetting the balance somewhat but it isnt the end of the world. Comfort these headphones are pretty comfortable, they do start to hurt the top of my head after many hours of listening and the clamping force is a tad lighter than i would like but the cups are both wide and deep allowing me to listen without them touching my ears in any way which is very nice. a very comfortable headphone you will have no issues . Sound easily the most important part of a near £400 headphone the sound. with the 45mm "tesla driver" (its just a fancy dynamic driver) these sound simply staggering. the bass, perhaps the weakest aspect of these headphones as they are studio-grade, is deep and detailed while not being boomy or overstated in any way, it's smooth and balanced and sits nicely behind the rest of the music if non-bass heavy headphones are your thing these are excellent for that. the mids and vocals are excellent, clear detailed and rich, now vocals aren't as good as my HD600s but they come pretty dam close which is very impressive in of itself. perhaps the most impressive part of this headphone is the treble and the highs they are simply staggering, so detailed with so much life and richness to them, some people say this headphone is bright and sibilant, while i agree with the former i disagree with the latter, these sound just right to me and if you are someone who enjoys treble and amazing highs without them feeling shrill or sibilant then this headphone is an excellent pick. they have a fairly neutral sound signature but have a bit more life to them than the HD600 which can sound somewhat boring sometimes especially with heavy metal music which these do a far better job with. Conclusion this is an excellent pair of headphones, very comfortable, extremely well built with fantastic sound, for many music types they have replaced my HD600s (except for more vocally focused music) and are in my opinion a more balanced experience than the HD600, i only gave them 4 stars for value for money as giving a £400 headphone 5/5 for value for money kinda feels wrong, but these are a great buy and that's not even mentioning the two pairs of pads in the box and the two cables, hard carrying case and 2 3.5mm to quarter-inch adaptors. an excellent pair of headphones
Review: Half way there. Core strenghts are present but don't feel like end-game material. - These headphones are very hard to evaluate for me since i started my path auditioning headphones that have relatively different properties to these in some ways that end up being somewhat more desirable to me. The headphones terrain is such a weirdly satisfying and also somewhat of a frustrating hobby since you actually never get to find perfection. These are an interesting blend of imperfections because they were not exactly as i expected them to be but are better in some ways and relatively worse in others. I really thought these headphones would hit or punch me very hard with big beefy sound but what they actually did is they slapped me really hard with a satin or velvet (still not sure which and it's kinda part of what they do, maybe the satin is when using the analytical pads and the velvet would be while using the balanced pads) glove. They are refined in some ways i would describe as definition and articulation but it could be due to the treble boost they are forward with, but i feel that helps it with how well defined most instruments sound in the mix and that is a good thing in a way, i probably should still go back and forth my other options to analyze how good they actually are at this. They have dry mids and also dry bass that don't overwhelm you. I probably would say these might be like the HD800s without the soundstage, with more focus on the treble sound, mids are more laidback and the bass is about as laidback as the mids so in some way they sound less analytical and somewhat less 'musical' but around as lively though a bit less beefy as well. I think i would criticize the forwardness of the highs because they for sure could annoy people (and they for sure have as far as i've seen). So the main strengths i would say these have when presenting music are the strong treble sounds (even though piercing to some), the liveliness of the sound (as in it doesnt sound dull, though you might need an amp for that, also the analytical pads would bring this out more than the balanced pads), the articulation, and the definition of the sounds (Specially with analytical pads). I wish they made these with a balanced option of cabling, i think this is somewhat unforgivable for high-end headphones. I am sure most people checking the reviews already know about the convenience of having 2 different set of pads that do different things to the sound, while they don't change how the sound is produced, they do change how it arrives to your ears and you could go as far to say that you have 2 signature sounds for the price of 1 (or you can think that you have paid for 2 pair of headphones which can make you feel you are getting your money's worth) with the small caveat of pad swapping which could feel like a hassle depending on how good you can get at changing the pads (first set of headphones that i have come across that provide an incorporated design to make it as seamlessly as possible, yet i wouldn't say it's a perfect way to do it). It is hard for me to recommend these to people because it is hard to justify what these do in relation to the price, there's headphones that cost around 1/3 of the price that have less of the strenghts of this pair but still provide a very nice experience and will not set you back this much amount of money, considering that for some of those you also don't need an amp to get the most out of while for this one i think you do it gets even harder to justify acquiring these, for example if you ever are thinking if to get these or the hd800s and u can pay for the hd800s i think those could be way more satisfying in their sound signature and arent THAT far appart in price). The construction in these is fairly high, they do feel robust, not sure if i would call it a refined build because the yokes specially are a bit rough in finishing, not a bad finish, just not as refined as the cups for example, and as the headband, both of which are very comfortable as well, with just enough clamp to for them to sit mostly tight and enought to make them feel very light even when they are not that light, also with enough room for your ears specially with the slightly thicker pads that i think are the balanced ones. So all in all the only reason i would recommend these is if you can just spend the money and are not expecting this to be your end game because for all the downsides that i have cited in the review you might just be frustrated with the experience, but if you are open-minded enough i am sure you will find (without much effort) stuff to love about them. If these were somewhere around 250-275 tops i would feel they would be more unmissable. For 350+ i can't justify it, better save the extra you need for end-game headphones.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would the FiiO K5 amp drive these well?**
A: Yes, but always check it has the right outputs for your set up too. The K5 is rated up to 300ohms

**Q: So can I not use these headphones for my phone? Would they work from a laptop?**
A: Yes they have a aux cord but it’s not as good sound without an amp

**Q: I have a sony tv with a 3.5mm headphone socket.will these headphones connect with that?**
A: Yes both detachable cables are 3.5 with 1/4 inch Jack adapters to go on them. One cable is several meters long and the other is shorter and coiled.

**Q: are the drivers angled or flat like the 990's? asking because the top of my ear touches the foam inside the 990's and gets uncomfortable after a while**
A: The drivers are placed flat in the housing similar to the DT 990 they do not tilt . Tilted drivers are only found in the T1 and T5 headphones by Beyerdynamic, I hope this helps a little.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent
*by A***V on 25 November 2020*

I have been positively surprised by these. Long time fan of DT990 and DT880, I thought in the upper tier of Beyerdynamic the T1.2 were for me, with the Amiron as second most likely candidate. In the end, after trying all of those, I found the DT1990 to be the best of the bunch. The bass is really good in these ones, with the balanced pads in particular: it is tight, generous in quantity and not invasive of the mids (even less when you use the other pads, referred as "analytical"). Mids are very good and not too forward, just as I like them to be. The analytical pads brings them more forrward with bass taking a small step back, if that is to your liking instead. Comfort is excellent just as in all Beyerdynamic. The amount of details is insane, making them a true studio type: I thought I would not have enjoyed this approach but I realised to be wrong because these take an intersting approach that does not make them sounding analytical-sterile (such as the AKG K701) but analytical-exciting: say the exciting delivery of the Focal Elear meets the more analytical-composed delivery of the T1.2. I also have to mention the fact that these require an amplifier, but they are very undemanding with those: a simple Little Dot I+ works wonder if you are treble sensitive and want to tame it a bit. Or, if you are not, a Topping L30 drives them beautifully with a lot of headroom. If you do not like the HD800S, give these and the AKG K812 a try. For 1/4 of the price these DT1990 give youu about the same level of detail, much more energetic bass (if not as flat) and a vibrancy that the Sennheiser just do not have: with that said, for Classical music I think the HD800S still rule. I listen all acoustic music with electro-acoustic Jazz as infrequent guests (say Hans Petter Molvaer, Matthew Halsall, Wolfgang Haffner, etc) and in these situations I have appreciated the bass of the DT1990 even more. Although most of my listening happens with an LCD-2 Fazor and an Ananda, these are rapidly climbing up (presently the 3rd pair I listen the most).
