Yes I know Resistance is not power. I was trying to make it easy for people who are unfamiliar :) - BT
Brandon Taylor it’s not resistance either. It’s impedance.
Can you use them for Xbox
@@augecisar6493 you can with a headphone splitter and a headphone amp
Are you new to these headphones? There are ALOT (NOT 2) of versions of this headphone. It comes in 80/250/600ohms. It comes in black and silver. It also has two models being the premium and the pro. Premiums have different headbands and cords. Pros have the coiled cord. All of these sound the same but the exception of the ohms. And you don't even list good mixamps/DACs for gaming. You listed a shitty Creative Omni with no Optical Input!?? Are you high? Why didn't you list the Creative G6? You have no clue what the fuck you are talking about. LMAO. Do your research instead of trying to make money off a video driven by Ninja's success.
These cans are 30 years old, stop complaining or get the dt1990s
I have an idea for a video: take all of the reviews that you have done and choose the best products. then feature all of them in a gaming setup video. great review, very underrated channel

I've had them for 8 months and I have to say they sound amazing. I've really enjoyed owning them and I don't think I've ever worn a more comfortable set of headphones. I don't even notice they're there plus they look great.

Hey man, just was looking around at DT990 reviews and came across this video. What instantly caught my eye was how incredibly well shot the video is. Angles, colors, lighting, and your set. Just wanted to compliment you all a job well done. Oh and I want to second that dude who recommended you do a podcast, you have the voice!

Got em and at first you sometimes forget you are wearing them if you arent listening to any sound with them on.
Very very comfty also
Thanks for the review, super helpful. Looking swole my dude!
Great review dude. Thank you for your time. I'm considering them. Trying to find them used. Not easy at all, lol.
These are studio headphones which is why they don't have "great bass". They're meant to be flat so that you can get balanced mixes in the studio. They will give you clean and "accurate" sound within the spec range. Accurate meaning it's not influenced by a built in EQ. This means that when you're recording, it will represent the actual sound coming out of your DAW so that you can balance them accurately. For example, if your headphones were heavy on bass instead of neutral, then during your mix, you might reduce the bass and then when someone plays it back on a system that isn't heavy on bass, it'll end up having no bass at all. That said, if you're already listening to mastered content (like games), then they will give you the intended balance as created by the sound engineers for the game. If you want more bass, then you're opting to modify the source which is fine, but that's not what these cans are for.
Which would you recommend for people liking more bass in the same price range that would work without an amp
@@tectonicimp7801 any of the gamer headsets are fine (hyperx , turtle beach, Sony, razr). Just look for a good frequency response (e.g. 12k-20k at least) and then we the bass up in your audio software. Or just research any highly rated sets made for *listening* to music. You’ll save hundreds. “Studio headphones” are a waste of money for gamers.
@@dennycrane2938 I have Arctis 7 but I’m not really impressed by the sound so I was looking for something a bit higher up
@@tectonicimp7801 if you have an external mic, then I'd just search for cans that are made for listening instead of mixing, that's really the main distinguisher and should help narrow it down. I don't generally listen on headphones, and for gaming, I prefer to turn the bass down so I can hear the sound effects that matter in competitive games -- so I don't have much of an opinion nor recommendation there.
@@dennycrane2938 cans?
Had these for a couple years and I still keep them in rotation with all of my other cans. A removable cable mod was the first thing done to mine. Makes them 10/10. You have to keep in mind when these were first initially released (2004?) , that's the reason for the attached cord. if you don't feel like modding you can also spring for the new version, the DT1990 :P -Edit for spelling-
s14tan how did you make the removable cable mod? Sorry I don’t know anything about modding headsets
XOX I’m implying that their released date (age) is one of the reason for the attached cord. Cans now a days tend to have removable cables. Think the Their younger bigger brother, the DT1990.
Lord Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life: No one comes to the Father, except through Him.
You saved my life. I didn’t know it would unscrew do I could get the thing to plug into the pc. I was scared I made the wrong purchase
2:00 the mans got some good taste in music I see
Ah yes femur breaker earrape
AYYY, uploaded on my birthday thx!
Your quality is really really good, its stupid that you only have 48.000 subs beacuse youre quality is some of the best on youtube ive seen.
Your bokeh and quality is beautiful... What camera and lens do you use?
My guy always wit the good content 🔥💥
Thank you so much for this I’m buying it now lol
Good review and good headphone, but what never gets mentioned in reviews and i think it should is the fact that Beyer earpads need replacing every 6 months and they are 20 a time. Cheaper headphone velour pads such as Takstar Hi 2050 those don't wear out like the DT 990 Pro does.
Just FYI. Worth mentioning. :)
ooo my dream headphones, keep up the videos Brandon!
Thanks zakrufu!
Your intro music for your video already justify a like
ty mate these rlly helped me out in valo lad
you are not felling them on ears, thats amazing.
i didn't even know an 80 ohm version existed until this video, thanks man now I don't have to buy an amp and their easily compatible with my phone.
Really love the quality of you’re videos
Thanks neetz!
1:40 you can find replacement cable on the site, everything is replcable even, and there are a lot of mods to make the a interchangable cable. But not stock. So still a fair point
I bought them 5 years ago and I am still a proud owner, they are like day one
I bet it still good even after 2 years of this comment. Good headphones stay good.
Can I request a review for the DJI OSMO POCKET 😂
Of course Jen! Hahaha
I have my 770s and would love to use those as a gaming headset. As an audiophile mixing and recording engineer I'm intrigued my the headset versions of these that work with consoles that awesome. As mixing goes in my studio I love the idea of an outwards shootout audio open end headphones. It's affordable and the company is 🔥 get yourself a two year replacement plan especially during the corona shit is concerned they won't let you return anything like mics or headphones.
I appreciate a well done review, good video and clear audio. I have used AKG K240 headphones for years in composing my electronic synth music, and they are extremely clear , but also have slightly de-emphasized bass as well. But they are just a bit uncomfortable to wear for hours in a recording session. I was wondering if you have used the AKG K240 and if so, how do they compare to the DT990? I am going to find a store that has these Beyer's to check out.
I think it is worth it.Its so lightweight and good for long periods of gaming
nice video been looking for a new headset might pick these up
Do yourself a favour and just get the Sennheiser hd6xx from massdrop.
Andrew Cathcart a hundred percent get the beyerdynamics I tried both and if ur using them for gaming the beyers kill
Nasser Akasheh and Andrew Cathcart thank you both for the recommendations i’ll look into both
Don't get the 6xx is you plan on gaming. The Soundstage is small. The dt990 are good for gaming. So are the ad 700x, shp9500, dt770, k7xx(build quality isn't good tho). 58x also have intimate Soundstage but have great imaging and nice bass.
Chris R thanks i’ll look over those too
great review
😍 love your reviews bby!
Can u make a vid about your pc it looks like a beast
could you do a review on the sennheiser pc37x? i got that headset recently, and i love it
These are great for the price! Although the high end does get a little fatiguing after a while. Too bad my dog chewed the cables so I went out and got the HifiMan Sundara. They’re also great.
This guy is my new review person. Pure legend.
Good review these headphones are great I have been using them for along time now way before ninja. Also from my understanding on reviews I have read every part is replaceable correct me if I am wrong? But also I have used the Schiit Magni 3 and it’s ok. A better amp to me is the jsd atom or liquid spark. Same price point.
Do you think they work for PlayStation
@@twirlante5440 Would not recommend. These headphones mostly require an amp to reach reasonable volume levels.
I own these for music production the 250ohm. I was surprised to see the big time gamers using them as gaming headsets. It pretty much makes all sounds at an equal balance, which is important for producing music so nothing is too overwhelming on the finished product. If you want a cinematic experience these are not for that. These are more for the technical side of things
Competitive games are developed with high fidelity sound and binaural positioning. Important in games like Valorant/Hunt:Showdown and more to know where shots are coming from, explosions, footsteps, etc.
Hunt:Showdown team actually used DT 770s during dev for this reason. AAA single player is more what you're referring to with the cinematic experience with less importance on separating sounds and positional awareness.
I like these headphones but I wouldn't call them balanced by any means. It has a bump in the bass, some roll off in the sub bass (to be expected with an open back) and a pretty hefty peak in the highs.
Bro i've been using the grado's sr225e and man you need to try them out ;
Love your work bruv. Keep up the good work.
You have my attention.. might have to pick those up very very soon thanks for the recommendation!
I could not be more pleased with my Beyer MMX 300 2nd Gen, you should give them a try man. I like them more than the Audio Technica AD-500X. I also give the DT990 Pro a chance but they are to hard to drive and without an amp the sound very tiny and muffled. I told you that getting a good headphone amp here in Mexico (my country) its not easy task, so I had to return them. Awsome video as always.
Thanks Antonio I just might have to try those out. Thanks for the recommendation!
I think I've seen ksi with those as well
Msf clix wears them
who cares who wears them
lololololooo Exactly
@@user-zu6ts5fb6g it shows how different celebrities enjoy the same headphones, and since they are rich and wear those headphones for that price, it's pretty good evidence that its a good product.
This is false.
I've used this product for about 6 years now (replaced the earpads 2x for a good price) and i can say that this product for the price that it is at at this moment is an ABSOLUTE STEAL. Even with the price of a standalone mic/usb micro added this is so worth it. The soundstage is amazing, the comfort is 10/10 and the price is just to die for. If after a few years the earpads get dirty/flat you can just replace them easily for a good price which is just amazing. You CAN NOT go wrong with trying these headphones atleast. (just up the bass a little if u like it)
Great review man
another great vid BT. I've been meaning to ask but what is that electric fireplace thing that you have on your desk? Its very cool looking
are they comfortable (enough) when wearing glasses underneath?
If you consider buying the 990s I would highly recommend you to also try the 770s. I have been using the 990s for over a year now and they are my first open back headphones.
Over time I realized that I personally miss how closed back headphones sound and I also realized that I could find the enemies better, once I used closed back headphones... Thats why I am going from the 990s to the 770s now.
Open back headphones are not the best for everyone and I highly recommend trying them before you buy them if you have the opportunity...! ALSO If you are not sure that your sound device actually has enough power for the 250 ohms version, then get the 80 ohms one! There is pritty much no difference when it comes to sound but there is when it comes to loudness trust me! I have both and I prefer the 80 ohms version! The 250 ohms one is also kind of uncomfortable to listen to because its just a little bit too sharp and precise. Its really just for music production and things like that but not for gaming.
Hey there, I'm looking for the best pair of headphones out of these:
1) DT990 Premium (600 ohm)
2) DT990 Premium (250 ohm)
2) DT990 Pro (250 ohm)
3) DT880 Pro (250 ohm)
4) DT770 Pro (250 ohm)
Could you please suggest me the best option from the list??
*I have a Sound Blaster G6 and my primary requirements are gaming, movies and music.*
Your videos are so GASSSS BROTHER
I’ve had a pair of 770s since like 2013, the just broke this week at that cable point after basically extended every day use. I’m not even mad about it 7 years ain’t bad definitely picking up a pair of these
What do people, like Ninja, do to prevent the sound leak from going into their mic and the stream.
they dont they have a unidirectional mic that only pics up sound direclty infront of their mouth
I am looking to buy some headphones and I will use them mainly for gaming but I also listen to some music from time to time. I wonder a lot if I should go for wireless vs wired, open back vs closed back, gaming vs studio. I am looking at the following models at the moment, any recommendations are appreciated:
1. HyperX Clould Flight (wireless, closed back)
2. Sennheiser Game One (wired, open back)
3. Sennheiser HD 599 (wired, open back)
4. Beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro (wired, open back)
my +1 on Game One, just make sure you get Game, not older G4me version which is harder to drive and requires good AMP to widen soundstage to actually be any better than closed back ones
@@komi1834 Meanwhile I decided, so first I got the HyperX Clould Flight but I didn't like them at all so I returned them and got the Sennheiser HD 599 instead cuz they were on discount, basically same price as Game One so I am happy now. I get crystal clear sound from the Sennheiser HD 599
nice review dude.... glad i purchased these
BT I love your channel..! I bought my Ducky One 2 mini thanks to your channel..! I also just picked up my DT 990’s ( 250 OHM ) and wanted to see if you had a review! Glad to see how current you keep things!! Till next time!!
Beyerdynamic offers cables as replacement parts (at least in Germany)
finally i found it :) 🙏
Another helpful great vid bro! I have the dt770 80 Ohm they are very good :) keep up the great work :)
Thanks Buro! How are you liking yours?
@@BTaesthetics they are very good bro but i think with an amp it will be much better. I hope :)
His voice is so soothing😍😍
The DT990's paired with a Soundblaster X G6 AMP/DAC has been some of the best money I've spent on my setup. The amp provides plenty of juice for the 250ohm version and the software's "Scout" mode (filters out ambient noise found in gameplay) is so good that it almost feels like cheating lol, you can hear everything related to enemy player movements.
I have the exact same setup as you but I find with the SB g6 my dt990 pro's dont get loud enough so I just ordered schiit magni 3 and modi 3 to pair with them and some other headphones I have
John how are the DT 990 pro doing with the schiit magni 3 and modi 3?

All the people saying G6 cant drive dt 990 250 or 600 ohm are retarded, theres just a button on the side and you can drive everything@@johncapone8843 I have myself the same Setup you can blast you damn ears with dt 990 600 ohm with the G6...
You should know that ohms is the unit for resistance, not power. Yes you need more power for them but there is much more to it than just boosting the signal. Amps have as much impact on the sound of the headphones as the headphones. Also the difference between 250 and 80ohms is not noice, it's more like the resolution of sound. Gamers won't tell the difference anyway so any gamer just go for the 80ohms unless you're a producer and you know the difference, but then you wouldn't watch this video review but a review by someone who really knows what he's talking about, no offense. For gamers still a good video I think.
Lenny Rage 😂😂😂
Hi it’s been 3 years but would the 770 80 ohms need an AMP ?
I've had these for some 6-8 years now. I do like to use loudness on my amp, so might be looking for some new headphones with more natural emphasis on bass in the near future.
Can you talk with the headphone with you friends or do you need to buy a mic
Best review channel, very underrated
Thanks Abdullah!
5 out 10 for gaming competitive . You nailed it perfect soundstage is limited the superlux 668b do a better job than the 990
Getting these tomorrow when I get back from school 🙂🙂
Havel The Rock Do you like them for gaming?
@@derekf.2893 i would reccomend astro A40's, you can buy it without the mixer as well. Fantastic 7.1 clear surround sound headphones. These headphones are more for clarity of music and whatnot, Gaming headphones are designed for spatial experience and compatibility. you can use the A40 on PC and AUX so it has variety too! Fun Fact: (im actually finding headphones for music because my A40's inspired me to get a nice music making set)
Tactical_Bacon24 Astro A40s are not great to be honest, audiophile/professional open back headphones are almost always the better option, as far as surround sound goes, Dolby atmos for headphones is going to be he best option although the most expensive
Derek Florer In all honesty I’m not a huge fan of them due to the sharp and bright treble that makes them uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. If you are looking for a really good pair of headphones for gaming then I recommend you look up people on RUclips like Joshua Valour, or DMS and see what their recommendations are.
nice revieww !!!

@@BTaesthetics No wayyyyy... Love your content!
Me remembering that these cans were made in the 90’s, not 2019.
Really?
@@75yomu Yes same with sennheiser hd 600 and a few others that still is being sold today.
What speakers are you using in the back? I've always seen the Vanotoo's T0
Coming from a Sennheiser 598 CS (closed source aka closed back) to the DT 990 Pro (I already had an amp), the sound was... interesting to get used to, as these were my first open back headphones. I opted for open back even though my Sennheiser's weren't broken because I was getting headaches from the closed back causing pressure over a long time of gaming or working (I'm on video calls for work). The other day I tried the Sennheiser's again and now that I've gotten used to the DT 990's, the Sennheiser's are complete rubbish by comparison. I don't recall them being that bad. But I'm redpilled on open back despite my dislike of sound leaking - the quality improvement is worth it.
Edit: my only gripe is that they're too tight, again putting too much pressure on my head, which can sometimes induce headaches. Not as bad as the Sennheisers because the DT 990 is open back, but still a bit too tight for my liking. But I'm not going to swap them out because they're too good for the price (£108 in UK is a bargain)
Great review. Personally I felt like the bass really started to come in after being broken in for a couple weeks. But yes the highs can be piercing at times. I personally love them, use them every day, just not a fan of the design. But they are incredibly comfortable.
do you need an amp?
@@loco8080 for 250 ohm version yes. If you don’t it will sound super low and not good. With the 80 ohm version (which costs more) you won’t really need it but it is still recommended. Amp will help you use the headphones to it’s full potential.

Haha do it crim!
Brandon, ohms are resistance not power! Other than that, great video :)
Tried to simply it for people that may be unfamiliar haha
awesome review! i personally own the 250 ohm dt990s and they still sound good from your phone, they just dont go very loud or anything. also ohms is not the amount of power needed to drive the headphone. it is the impedance of the voicecoil located inside the driver. the higher it is the thinner and longer the copper wire of the voicecoil is, and the more power is needed to drive them
lol i was listening to sennheiser hd500 (300 ohms) without an amp for a year and belive me its a different world
@@rankamay6714 i bought my 990's together with a soundblasterX G6 and yes there is a noticeable difference but nothing gamechanging to me really. when it comes to directional audio the sbx really shines. I also tried them with my friend's E10K and there isn't much of a difference between the two. now bear in mind that I haven't tried a tube amp yet but i think they simply arent as "amp picky" as hd500's
Oh damn, that distortion sound is in your video, I was fiddling with my cables
Nah it’s definitely you bud
@@simfeni I'm talking about the scene transition noise like 1:18
I own the DT990s 250ohm along with several pairs of headphones. If you use them with a dedicated amp and windows sonic with a treble reduction EQ they are monsters for gaming. When is comes to music listening I wouldn't recommend them. In addition to the harsh highs I found that the sound is too thin and airy overall. A good choice for gaming if you can invest in them.
wow thanks
These headphones were also used in “We Are The World” by most of the singers
Idk if this is a joke, but singers would not use these headphones to record.
When I tried them out at a guitar shop I was fascinated
Notification Squad where you at? Great video BT!

Kysn Kysn no. I bought the modmic and attached it to them.
Dude u been growing fast 👍best of luck i need some of your secret sauce 😔
Thanks bro!
About the cable: yeah it's non detachable, but the whole headphones are modular. You can open the earcup and sother in a new one pretty easy, in comparison to others.
Damn all these "audio engineers " are triggered lol good vid man
Such an underrated channel🙂👍
Thanks Ray!
In this price range there is nothing better. Every part of this headphones we can buy like shells, pads, cable etc. I've broke cable in mine pair and I've done some mod with mini xlr, Now I've got Beyers with detachable cord. I use them every day, major for listen music via headphone amp but also for gaming when I plug jack directly to xbox pad. Works like a charm.
I just bought these like a mad man got the amp for it as well
Could you compare them to the Sennheiser HD58x Jubilee?
Can you review the Hyperfuse 60% Keyboard please
wat
Do you need an amplifier or whatever they're called to make these work?
Great headphones using them now!
