    The DT 990 Pro’s are my favorite. They have such a great flavor that makes listening to mixes really enjoyable. I constantly go back and forth between the 990’s and my Senn HD 600’s for mixing and pleasure and then I have a pair of ATH-M50x’s for tracking.

    6:04 Apart from the excellent airy, spacious sound they give, I've found the open backed DTs to be far less fatiguing than fully closed headphones, and the velour covered pads make them even more comfortable. This is a major plus in long sessions.

      DTs impedence is to high 250 ohms. You will not hear any noise, if there is any. I am happy with Audio Technica. I have 4 of them: 2x M50xBT (for playback), 1x M50x (for post production), 1x M70x (for field production - noise catcher).

      The DT990 has a huge treble peak lmao, what? They’re literally one of the most fatiguing headphones you can use. I have the dt770, which have less treble then the DT990, and they’re extremely fatiguing without EQ. They’re not a good headphones for mixing because they aren’t flat at all. You need actually flat headphones for mixing, like the DT880, or the sennheiser HD600, 6XX, or HD560s. The DT770 especially is not good for mixing at all. They’re designed for monitoring. They’re completely coloured in sound signature, have way to much bass, and way to much treble. If you mix on them, your mix will probably end up sounding very mid forward.

    I bought the Neumann NDH-20 when I bought a Moog Grandmother. I wanted something that could handle the Moog and my other analog instruments without fatiguing my ears. They are the best headphones that I've heard in 35 years. They are near perfect in every way. My ears used to growl like a bear after listening to music for a couple of hours. Now they purr like a kitten.

I am traveling away from home for an extended time and in my effort to bring the most compact recording setup I needed headphones that could do double duty - tracking and mixing. The sound stage on the Neumann's are amazing! I have the Sonorworks software too so hopefully I will be able to get accurate mixes with these. We will see. My previous mixing headphones I bought a bazillion years ago, the AKG Q701. I hate headphones so I don't use them that often, but now that I won't have a speaker options I thought better headphones were in order.

    Also, I would throw in the Philips SHP9500 for a budget option, and for a more upscale open back, the Sennheiser HD 598s are very good. I use both of these for A/B'ing, and gaming. They're both very good, very comfortable, and the sound sate is excellent!

    I bought the Neumann NDH20s last year (2019) in April and am absolutely glad I did! These closed back headphones have some of the best sound I have ever had with some headphones and I use them for just about everything except gaming. The church where I work sound and media systems has a separate room where work. We get some "visitors" who will occasionally get loud and bring up children who cried on occasion. I had the Audio Technica ATH-M50x headphones and they DID NOT block out that sound very well. After getting my Neumann NDH20s I was really surprised at what I had been missing from the sound, and because they are so good, I occasionally had to take some forks to my ears due to the "out-of-tune-ness" of the singing for the music. Yeah, they did that. My bottom line for them is if your budget allows it, get the Neumann NDH20s because they are worth it. I did and I'm glad I did. Thanks for sharing Sanjay! Your honest openness is refreshing!

    I've had the Cb1's for about 3 years using them daily. lol i'm actually using them right now. They are great for the price!! I loaned them to a friend who had the M40x and he was blown away by the sound quality. Very comfortable too. Unfortunately the build quality is not that great. The "leather' from the ear cups has stripped completely and I had to use my sewing skills to patch them up because they totally fell off. The hinges on each ear broke and they are both being held together with super glue. Still sounds great after 3 years though. If you want something comfortable, with great sound then the Cb1 is a good buy, but if you are looking for durability.. get something else.
    P.s. Don't get the OneOdio if you care anything about sound quality. You will regret it. A friend of mine bought a pair and it sounds terrible. Save a little and get something better

I find them compared to others very good clear separation and a true mix which is the important thing . They are for mixing engineers and where used by top guys on some of the most famous albums so if you cant get a good final mix on these somethings wrong.

  • @miqueas1992
    @miqueas1992 4 года назад +4

    I agree with ALMOST everything said in this review. My one nitpick is that the DT770's and DT990's do not sound the same in my opinion. I use both extensively and the DT990's are undoubtedly brighter and glassier than the 770's. And that's important because the 770's are already on the slightly brighter side of the spectrum, so the 990's are more fatiguing after a long session. I have to admit, I definitely reach for the 770's more often (which are actually slightly more comfortable as well in my opinion).

    • @Blackbloodroyals
      @Blackbloodroyals 4 года назад

      I purchased the DT990 250 ohms version used it with Focusrite 8i6 and they sounded terrible. I mean as soon as you turn the music up the sound gets distorted. Have you experienced the same thing? At first it seemed like the music with slightly louder bass was sounding distorted but later anything that is higher slightly in the middle started sounding distorted and I returned the headphones. I searched on the internet if anyone else had the same issue and turns out a few people have made a complaint of the same issue. Have you ever experienced anything like that with your DT990?

    The ath-m50x are amazing for mixing and creation when you can't use monitors. Translates very well when I do jump on my speakers. The soundstage isn't all that wide but it handles everything else quite nice. Was a major recent upgrade (last year) from my 7506's I used for over a decade. Beyers were too bright for my tastes. I also find the Senns HD-25s are great secondary phones. I watch movies, tv and game with Phillips x2hr.

My previous headphones were HyperX Cloud 2, and coming from them the m50x at first were noticably less comfortable, especially for longer periods of time. But after about a month or so, I got perfectly used to M50x, and I can wear them for many hours barely noticing any uncomfortableness (idk if that's a word even) ... so I guess you just kinda get used to over time.
