If the cable ever breaks, instead of tossing them away of buying a new pair of headphones, you can send it to a modder and have them put a removable cable. You can find a service like that for anywhere between 50 to 90 bucks. There is a bunch of people doing that with these headphones.
Is it just soldering in a new one?
@@SwitchandClickOfficial you can do that too but people solder in a mini XLR socket and you can get AKG and DT1990 cables for it and you don’t need to worry about the cable breaking
Bruh 50-90 bucks here in India is like 4000-7200, can't risk so much even after paying about 150 bucks bruhh.. will go for Sony's now 😞
i would think something like that should be covered under warranty
this review is so in depth. ive seen a few people talk about these cans because i'm trying to justify the purchase.
I bought a pair of DT880s about 10 years ago now, and use them to this day, amazing sound and super comfy... Had to change out the headband leather and ear cushions as they started to rot away, there's some really good memory foam cushions available that are even more comfortable than the stock ones
I've had them for 2 years now and I can confirm they are so comfy. I can wear them all day and only then I start to notice them. They were a bit heavy when I got them but I got used to the pressure quickly. Also having open headphones not only gives you the advantage to still hear whats going on but it also makes the sounds coming from the headphone appear more real and immersive if that makes sense.
Oh and I forgot. Another great thing is the earpads. You can dismantle the headset, clean it and insert new earpads. You can also try to wash them but in my case I just bought new ones because the old ones were pretty dirty
Do you know if you can connect them to a ps5 controller?
@@lonurism2999 You should be able to if the controller has a regular earphone jack
@@user-oo6qu4zr9h alright thanks for the information
thanks the glasses test was the most important for me
Glad I could help
i have same headphones just 250 ohms version and i love it, did one mod deatchable cable is really easy and makes this headphones perfect !
I’ve got dt1990s. I could see myself being a buyer customer for life. Love the sound sig and detail
Never judge a company by one product... No two sound the same and *signature* is a vast term
Great video 🥰👍🥳 I just scored these here in Australia 🇦🇺 for just under $99USD on a sale brand new. These will be solely for my music listening and I’m loving the sound, especially the finer mid to mid-highs and be able to clearly hear many metallic-ee instruments such as Tamborine, triangle, cymbals etc and guitar/violin etc which weren’t being experienced to the same clarity on normal headphones etc. There are cartilaginous highs I agree, if you’re listening to certain music/ vocals can be “painful” with these headphones. But for the majority I listen to, a bit of everything from indie, pop, rock, instrumental, easy listening, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s onward these perform well 🥰👍🎉🥳
Amazing how quick ur channel grew
The Gear! Congrats!
Hey haven't visited your channel in a while! you have branched out and start testing other computer peripherals, good move!
Also your subscribers have skyrocketing :) Good job:) The lighting and the studio looks good and the review quality is very good, the only thing that is missing is a better hi-res camera for shooting your videos, to get that professional look!
good luck to you guys :)
My first foray into decent open headphones were Grado SR80, now SR80e, these are great and still under $100. I would recommend these to anyone, the sound is very good but beware they are a bit fragile. I have been using Sennheiser ATH-M50s for about 6 years. They are about the same price as the Beyerdynamic DT 990 but I cannot compare. To be honest the cheaper Grados have a sound I like much more but for an oaf like me, after my second pair I went for something much sturdier for everyday use that was still quite acceptable.
To address your concern about the the sharp highs of the DT 990 Pro, it is not you who changed, but instead the headphones themselves. The treble peak evaporates after extended use. Anyone purchasing this headphones for the first time can expedite the process by burning it in.
Or you can EQ to reduce the issue
I've got the 770 Pro 80 Ohms, which is basically just this but closed back. Most comfortable and sturdy headphones I've ever owned. The only thing I wish was that the cord was removable.
Do you use an amp for it? Been looking to buy those for my PC but I don't really wanna buy an amp, and I aas wondering if it works good without one.
@@larscorp get a amp and dac for the best experience
@@LuvEx. but it works fine without one? I could buy one without an amp/dac and if I want better quality I could get an amp/dac?
@@larscorp you don't need an amp and if your source is decent you don't need a dac. Big majority of people using DACs fail to recognize them during double blind tests. It's more of a looking cool cause I got a dac and amp thing. Now if your source sucks then yeah get an amp and dac.
@@shaolin95will it work well if I just plug it into a ps5 controller with no amp or anything?
Yes, i’ve heard that they wear in after several months.. The too end smooths out.. 👌
Could you include 'breathability' as a criteria in future reviews please.
I personally find that my ears get hot in certain headphones.
Honestly I prefer the fit of the edition versions over the pro versions for beyerdynamic headphones when it comes to glasses
What is this amplifier that you show in this video ? I am wanting to buy one of this, but will it go well without a direct amplifier on the pc ?
Get the DT 1990 Pro. You'll be mega satisfied.
Beyer rocks :) I personally would prefer the DT880 Manufaktur (semi-open back, more colour choices) though. Don't worry about the cables, if you can solder a switch, you can surely solder this. With a little DIY spirit, you could probably mod it to have a jack or mini-XLR plug there too :D
Btw, if you want a step up, how about the Drop TH-X00 (if they are available again)? :)
Haha I'll save some money on Drop then :P
so those are single-ended amp connections not balanced. do you think getting a balanced one will have bigger difference?
If you like the Beyer signature sound, do yourself a favor and try the DT-880, it’s even better!
Go for the 600 ohm edition for the best sound possible.
It’s like the Varmilo with EC switches for headphones! 😂
Impedance actually has nothing to do with sound quality :D
Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro 80 ohms and Sennheiser HD650 with JDS Labs Atom Dac/Amp stack and you're good to go.
Or for the price of both you can buy pair of a single but decent headphones like Focal Elex, Dan Clark Aeon X or DT1990Pro and never look back :D
Beyerdynamic have been making headphones for longer than hyper X AND im not heating its just a little fun fact on were the hyper x got its design
Would you reccomend the 80 ohms or the 250?
Does the discount count work for Amazon? I tried and it’s not working for me
I have the Phillips X2HR with a Fiio Q1 mark 2. How much better is the low sub bass with the 990 pro 80 ohm headphones.
I vote for the 'Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO 80 Ohm Limited Edition Professional Monitoring Headphone'.. Most comfortable and best sounding headset I have yet to use. Plus, I am not sure why but they are not expensive. After using and owning sooo many headsets and still do, I 90% use these for everything. However, you will need a separate mic (my monitor has a built in one, so just use that) and either a new mboard with dedicated headphone amplifier or an external dac/amp or soundcard to get the best out of them.
I do have the Creative G6 external dac/amp but my motherboard MSI MPG-Z690-EDGE-WIFI DDR5 uses the ALC4080 DAC (Audio Boost 5) and has a dedicated front headphone jack using a noiseless HD-A to USB Interface, which is also twice the DAC format from 32-bit/192kHz (rear onboard motherboard) to 32-bit/384kHz, and truly deliver really high sound quality with no noise. I I honestly, can't even tell the difference between external DACs and the dedicated headphone amplifier that this motherboard provides which claims can drive audiophile headphones up to 600Ω impedance.
So, my vote is for the DT 990 PRO 80 Ohm LE. Although, its wired (comes with built in 3m cable) and has no mic. So, if you have a decent soundcard and a mic prepare for a super comfortable and sensual experience. Plus, I bought both the DTS & Dolby Access for Windows 11 from the windows store - Although both change the format to 24/96khz they enhance sound to epic mode for games, music, movies. Also, Netflix in Windows when enabling the Dolby Atmos it also shows (DDPlus) Dolby Digital Plus under audio codecs. cntl+alt+shift+D -> (ddplus, atmos) and these do a fantastic job. The USB Interface from the Isolated audio design connected to the dedicated headphone jack works. Final thing is in DTS Headphone:X when you click on configure it has these headphones listed to be enabled.
If you're curious about the audio stuff talking about in regards to my motherboard: www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-Z690-EDGE-WIFI and scroll down to the audio picture. You can read about it there. Note the new tabs it brings up.
wow thanks for your perspective!
@@SwitchandClickOfficial I am just surprised how good they sound and how comfortable they are for me. Having a bigger head and ears than you, they seem almost custom made for me. What surprised me is, when plugging into a them into my Sennheiser HE-1 headphones amplifier, then switching headsets.. I'm confused if maybe I got a magical build. Then I got lucky by buying a motherboard that happens to have the latest in onboard audio. With A dedicated headphone amplifier that can drive headphones up to 600Ω from HD-A to USB Interface.. this is somewhat true, but I the Sennheisers sounded much better with its dedicated amp
Whats the amp that you use with the headphones? looks really good and id like to grab one myself
Great review, how are these headphones for watching movies?
How do they fit with a bigger head and ears? I will stretch them to fit better too.
Since you're using an amplifier anyway, you may have benefited more by getting the 225 Ohm version. The bigger drivers provide a tad more detail. Not an obligation though and something you may not even notice if you're not specifically looking for ti, they are an excellent pair of headphones and you cannot go wrong by getting any of the versions.
Oh never mind. After hearing that the highs were somewhat of an issue for you at the beginning with the 80 Ohms, the 225 Ohms version would definitively be unusable for you. They would give you way too much detail on the treble.
They are not using different size drivers.
congrats on 30k betty! (oh and jake lol)
Thank you so much!
I recently fell in love with planar magnetic headphones but I've never had a decent pair of open back dynamic headphones
the original Hifiman HE500s ruined headphones for me for years
One thing I never understood is why people use this for gaming at all. Its not a gaming headphone. Hell, its not even meant for casual music listening.
They literally market this headphone with these words: "Studio Headphones For Mixing, Mastering, and Editing".
People would be better off with an SHP9500S/9600 and a decent Headphone DAC/amp like an ifi ZEN or something.
who cares what the marketing says if it sounds good
got the 250ohm special edition, best headphones out, with a Fiio K5 Pro. solid combo without breaking the big bank
Wow, nice!
You should probably get a higher powered amp/dac setup for that headphone
Ok please help. For stereo amp MAGNAT MR 780 better will be 32 or 80 Ohm?
Will this pair of headphones work good with my mobo (realtek alc892) or with behringer umc22?
I have some too and love them
I have been eying these for quite a while, I have pretty cheap Beyerdynamic for a while (DTX 910) that are so old, the lining begins to fall off, but hadn't have the scratch to buy them yet... at the same time, I am pondering whether to go for a headset with Mic instead. I'd like to hear music on my hi-fi stereo, use them on my PC and maybe also for recording and stuff...
I personally use a separate microphone because mics on headsets are never that good.
so i want to get into streaming would these be a good pair ? i also don’t want to get a amp would that be a problem ?
hi! you mentioned an amp that you use with the dt990, do you have a link that you can provide? thanks!
I went through a number of "gaming" Headsets before I settled on a pair of Beyerdynamic headphones - with an amp they are the best sound quality I have tried for any task. having open-backed means I can listen to the thockiness more
@@origami74 Got a pair of DT 990 Pro 250Ohms and then upgraded to the DT 1990 Pro. Both of these I drive with an JDS LABS Element II DAC/AMP combo. I would recommend getting the 990 Pros and you can take the sting out of the top end with something like Peace Eq or leave them like it for gaming. The 1990s are superior but the diminishing returns really set in here.
Glad that you noticed the ssserious amount of sssssibilance, which is essentially the beyerdynamic house sound unfortunately
Hi! Could you tell me what AMP you used for these headphones, please?
bit unrelated but are those computer glasses? what brand if so?
What AMP are you using? And dose it sounds much more different without one like based on sound quality?
its just a cleaner sound. slight detail boost.
I have the headset a lil quieter than I thought it would be my hyper x cloud 2 is way louder in comparison but I don’t have an amp like u do will buying an amp increase the volume ?
yes
Can i use them with my ps5 oder do k Need an amp? If so, What Kind do you use? :)
Are you sure, you are doing review of 80 ohm version? If you look at 16:30, there is 250 ohm written in your instruction.
Definitely 80
I just bought a DT 990 pro 250 ohm and I'm using a Focusrite 3gen solo, and my problem is that I don't feel that it reaches the 250 OHm, what do you recommend for the 250 ohm that you also use, Thank you
Motu m2 is amazing.
What’s the amp? I’d like one!
how do you maintain or clean the velour pads?
Are they good for making rap beats with a lot of hard hitting 808s? I’m using Astro a10 gaming headset rn 😂
Would I be able to use this with my Astro mix amp?
i really want buy one
after i buy ath50mbt and few month drop site sell this again
so i miss it
Are you still using apple earpods for sound design or which in 2024?
as soon as i seen her. i knew its a real thing i am watching
Can I use this headphone, with my gaming laptop, Lenovo legion 5, or on Xbox series X without any external amp?? Because it is 250ohm headphone.
The 80 Ohm version might work-although I’m not entirely sure. The 250 Ohm version, however, you’ll want to get an amplifier for. If you don’t, the volume will be very low and you won’t get value out of your money.
Hope this was helpful. If you have any more questions, ask away!
Great review and no i don't think it's you. Headphones, like all audio gear, need time to break in and the sound will usually improve over time.
Does anyone know if you can connect them to a ps5 controller?
Great review, although I don't think I would like the sound signature on these.
Fair enough!
What amp should i buy??
Could you do a amp review on the sound blaster x3?
I just wish the DT 990's came in a 32 ohm version. Don't wanna use an external amp watching TV.
But TV jack output is shit quality, at least for me lots of noise.
Are you working on a seperate review video about the gmmk pro that you had the chance to build on their stream?
Not currently, that wasn't meant for review purposes
@@SwitchandClickOfficial that's to bad, but can't wait for you to review it in the future!
Are you able to connect these headphones to a ps5 controller
Which amplifier is that? I did not quite understand which one you said.
Schiit Fulla 3
Can you please drop the full name or the link of that deck amp because I cannot find that anywhere, thank you
i believe they’re the schiit fulla 3
Entry level was kind to say, but yeah I guess.
• 30ohm - Gamer
• 50ohm - Expensive Gamer
• 80ohm - Audiophile Entry Level
• 250ohm - Studio Level
Comparing these to any expensive gaming headset, such as Razer Nari Ultimate it will destroy everything.
probably the contender these are the hd58x and fidelio x2hr...
well i do need new headphones... always used "mid tier" gaming headsets... never tried that good quality stuff
Don't buy this, the treble will kill you. Get a Sennheiser 6XX or 58x on drop. There is a reason that those are drop's most sold headphone. I'm a budget audiophile. My current hp is a Senn hd600.
@@leaguefixesyourmatches8259 Well, depends on the person’s listening preferences, but the sharp treble kills 99% of all human beings. I would agree. Get something like the 58x of 770 pro (for closed back).
I would also recommend the Sennheiser HD58x or Beyerdynamic Tygr 300r.
@@leaguefixesyourmatches8259 I had a pair of 660S and couldn't cope with the lack of bass and the comfort level was not as high as I expected (they felt stiff). Maybe with custom ear pads both of these could be improved, but I sold them and I'm currently looking for a different pair. I listen to House, Breakbeats, and Drum & Bass, plus a lot gaming, so bass is important to me. Clarity in the mids and highs was excellent, though.
@@leaguefixesyourmatches8259 These are loved by some FPS gamers as the treble makes footsteps stand out. But yeah, if lots of treble isn’t something you want, I agree with you, skip these. Haven’t personally listened to these tho.
Are the DT990 Pro 250 ohms bigger than the 80 ohms? Or is it just a change in ohms and cable?
The drivers and the cable are the only difference. In fact, you can order the parts and turn one version into the other easily. I have the DT 880 Edition 600 Ohms (by accident, I ordered the 250 Ohms version on eBay years ago but got 600 Ohms), and I was thinking about turning them into 250 Ohms. But they get loud enough for listening mixed music, so I ordered lower-impedance closed headphones for practicing/recording instead.
If you are considering the DT 990, you should definitely also check the DT 880 (more even sound, less sharp treble) and the Tygr 300 R (more fun sound with a little more bass), maybe also the Sennheiser HD 560S (should sound similar to the DT 880, but I never tried them).
Listening to clicky blues with 990s would feel like stabbing my eardrums..
Most likely...yes
What is the name of the dac amp?
I have to wear them on the largest settings
You listen to all kinds of music except rock, yet rock is exactly where DT 990s shine 😂
I love your voice
where u buy the dt 990 80 ohm version ? i didn't find them.
Drop, they have it right now
Can u give me a link to buy Pls? 🙏
Im using IEM for everything LOOOOOL it's kinda uncomfy if you use it for too long.
I tried IEMs but I've never liked things in my ears
Can you review Sennheiser HD569?
Don't buy those, save up and get a HD58X
3:37 Oh God, STOP!!! 🤣
its asmur🤣
I want these cuz they look confer it ble but I only have $47
Save 20$ more and you can get the philips shp9500 open back headphones, those are great budget entry for audiophile headphones.
@@Benri05 I don't really use headphones anymore I use my Logitech speakers and subwoofer that sounds amazing and I just blast my music az loud az I can lol
does it have water resistance ??
Using them in the pool?
2:20
80(space)ohms
Oh haha
DT770, DT990 and DT1990 are all studio headphones. That means they are used to clean up tracks. Therefore if you listen to it any bad things on a music will be elevated. If you use it to watch just mere mp3 or youtube tracks good luck! 🤣🤣🤣
If you want casual enjoyable listening try other cans, just not these.
what would be your reccomendations?
16:24 -250 Ohm ....

My only problem- it's from drop 😔
What's the problem with Drop?
@@SwitchandClickOfficial they don't deliver here. 😂
I'm sure you can get them elsewhere. I bought mine off amazon. If there are no merchants you can still get them at the official store
www.beyerdynamic.de/dt-990-pro.html
At least in germany you can. Not so sure about other countries
amazon sells it too
Prefer the sennheiser 660S for open back..... and "non detachable cable" ughhhh
@Industry Destroyer I get the right amount of bass and treble. Obviously this is using peace64. For heavy bass games I use my fostex trp60 argon modded
@Industry Destroyer well obviously you are a professional, to me they sound great for non bass heavy games, especially with the right settings for my hearing. To each its own, friend
@@JoseL562 Dude, he is the only "pro" that likes the 990's. LOL. I watch him all the time.
@@leaguefixesyourmatches8259 @Nouvraught Becouse he studied them, and the treble peaks, goes away, but on other expensive headphones they dont, so he is sticking to his guns, so people dont buy 5 diferent headphones, when the reak trouble on the 99s0 250hm goes away after drive in time and becouse brilliant, helping us find 1 endgame quality headhpone that outperforms others that cost 1000dolllar just becouse its sennheiser.
@@roggleif4217 Dude, are you that dude? you sound the same.
you feel like you needed the amp?
Yes
@@SwitchandClickOfficial It wasnt loud enough? damn I was going to get 80ohm version because I thought I wouldnt need an amp..
@@zeebpc It wouldn't need an amp, however Beyerdynamics are famous for providing better result when properly amplified, however that's not compulsory.
@@snowmean1 i got the 250ohm version paired with roland duo capture ex... i was worried it wouldnt be loud enough, but even at 20% volume its very loud and I cant listen for too long without getting ringing in my ears.. so yes its loud enough . I guess tthat means everything is proper
@@zeebpc well yes and no :D The topic about impedance and amplifier is a bit huge for one comment, but long story short if you happy with sound and can drive them loud enough, I think you are fine.
I have HD6XX which is 300ohms and I can also drive them from pretty much anything, however HD6XX has better sensitivity comparing to any DT990.
I would also recommend you to test your setup with an amplifier in case if you could see any difference. If you could, then I'd recommend you to have an amp because that means that the source is pushed beyond it's abilities with your headphones which might bring distortion.
main advantage of the open-back is the ear breathability. Closed-back headphones heat up your ears very fast, becomes unbearable.
Wrong. I can wear either without issue. I prefer open back when I really bigger soundstage or with a digital piano. I prefer closed for deeper bass
"byee"
If I were you I would grab the HD58X
On my list of I wanna get it but I can't afford it right now haha
You are going to like it trust me
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Sell your hyper x and others. Those are 1000's times better. If you have the extra cash, the 6xx is nice too and better upgrade path. I wince in pain thinking about you listening to these without EQ.
I she prefers V-shaped sound of DT990, she might not actually liked mid-focused HD58X. Plus DT990 has bigger sound stage, so I wouldn't be so sure.
it's not available :(

250 ohm version is :)
@@roggleif4217 250 ohm is supposedly better.
