Editorial note

The Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO is a headphone that stands out for its exceptional audio quality. With a total harmonic distortion of only 0.2%, it offers faithful and precise sound reproduction, ideal for audiophiles. Its sensitivity of 96 dB and wide frequency range from 5 to 35,000 Hz allow for an immersive and dynamic listening experience. Additionally, the in-ear coupling ensures prolonged comfort, making these headphones perfect for long listening sessions. However, some drawbacks are worth noting. The high impedance of 250 Ohm requires an amplifier to fully exploit the audio quality, which can make their use less practical on portable devices or smartphones. The closed acoustic system, while beneficial for sound isolation, may not suit those who prefer a more open and natural listening experience. Furthermore, the 3-meter cable, while convenient for fixed use, can be cumbersome when on the go. In terms of design, the model has a rather basic look, which may not appeal to users seeking a more modern style. Although the weight of 250 g is acceptable for prolonged use, some may find it heavy after extended use. Finally, the lack of wireless connectivity limits flexibility and convenience for those who wish to enjoy an unobstructed listening experience. In summary, the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO justifies its price with its sound quality and comfort, although it is preferable to use it with an amplifier to get the most out of it.
