User questions & answers

Question:	since there are the vents on the side, does the sound leak? can others hear it
Answer:	These headphones are semi open back design. They sound much airier and natural compared to the closed back kind design. However on the downside, they do leak to some extent, specially on higher volumes. Others will be able to hear the higher freq. but will not be able to distinguish what is being played. Hope this helps.
Question:	How do these compare to the Sennheiser HD 598 Headphones
Answer:	I own both sets. The Sennheiser HD 598 and their predecessors HD 595 (see my review) are extremely SMOOTH, headphones you can fall asleep to. The Beyerdynamic DT 990-Pro 250 ohm are ANALYTICAL headphones. You will not fall asleep with these as they demand your full attention. Different purpose I would say.
Question:	I see alot of reviews saying these headphones fatigue fairly quickly. I saw simuliar views on the grados and after an hour they began to really hurt
Answer:	This is a common complaint, but let me clear things up a bit. Treble can sound fatiguing for two reasons: 1. energy storage in the treble, 2. loud treble. Energy storage is very bad, think of when you ring a bell. After the initial strike the bell continues ringing for several seconds. You don't want your headphones to do this, because not only will you get loud fatiguing treble, all the notes will blend together. An eq will not fix this. The second reason is having clean treble that's just louder than the rest of the spectrum. Grados are fatiguing for the first reason, DT990s for the second. The DT990 actually have very fast treble (no ringing), there's just a good 4-6dB bump from roughly 4 or 5khz up to about 8 or 9khz. If you tune that down with an EQ they sound great. Honestly I don't even use an EQ anymore, but if it bothers you and you have an eq, it's easy to fix.
Question:	Are these better than beats are they more comftorable and do they have better sound quality, also does it have a mic
Answer:	The point of these is purely sound quality and comfort, not portability. For the 80ohm you might be able to use ur phone, but for the 250s u need a dac/amp.

User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone know where these are made? Are they made in China like many competitor's models
Answer:	These are made at Beyerdynamic factory in Germany. All of Beyerdynamics large on-ear headphones are made in Germany. Some of the companies in-ears are made in China but 90% of their products are made in Germany.
Question:	Given the prices $180 for 32 ohms, $278 for 80 ohms, and $170 for 250 ohms, which one should I buy for 98% amp-less listening
Answer:	For an amp-less setup the 32 Ohm are the way to go. Yes you can use the 80 Ohms non-amp'd (the 250s are not recommended for this), but your listening levels are going to be limited (how many dB you get out of them). Beyerdynamic created a set of low-impedance for a reason - and if your laptop / phone / or PC with no external amp/dac or amp'd internal card are your primary use...then you have your answer.
Question:	Does the 30 ohms have the same bass output if it is connected to an amp compare with the 250 ohms
Answer:	I am looking at this 250 ohm headphone because it has a high impedance. I build a vacuum tube amplifier with a nominal impedance of 600 ohms. Although it seems to drive 32 ohm headphones, it will work better with headphones closer to 600. The high voltage changes needed to drive high impedance headphones do not carry a lot of current, but they do carry much detail. I tend to believe that high impedance headphones will be more responsive and defined than lower impedance headphones, but their hardware requirements are different. Small mobile devices don't have high voltages in them to generate signals for high impedance headphones, which is why low impedance is standardized, and even then, many devices lack the power to drive the bass on them. A dedicated amp is the extra hardware to fill out a quality signal. So even poor quality headphones can sound better when driven by the appropriate source. In the end, your headphones will not improve the sound significantly if you do not have an amplifier to back them up, though I still think higher impedance phones will result in a better sound.
Question:	How does this compare to the Audio Technica M50x
Answer:	For me, the 2 sound very different from each other. The soundstage of the M50x is pretty narrow while the soundstage of the DT 770 (I’ve only heard the 250 ohm) is very wide for a closed-back. The sound signature of the DT 770 is actually more neutral than the M50x. The M50x is commonly attributed with a V shaped signature, but it’s a pretty wide/flattened V (more like a smile or reverse check mark). The DT 770 (250 ohm) has one of the more neutral signatures out of headphones in this price range/class (you can look up the sound graphs for it to see it’s pretty neutral). I like the velour pads of the DT 770 way more than the pleather pads of the M50x (I will say it’s a big improvement over the M50 pads). The M50x folds up quite well while the DT 770 doesn’t fold up at all. If you plan on packing it, the M50x will take up less space even if you used a case for it. The detachable cable of the M50x also allows it to be stored without risking damage to the cable. Of course, if you’re getting the 250 ohm DT 770, you’re going to need an amplifier while the M50x can be run without one (though it does sound better with one). I’d honestly recommend that you pick out between 5-10 tracks from your library that you know really well and listen to how both headphones reproduce the audio because 1) your ears are unique to you, 2) your preferences for certain specific details are unique to you, and 3) the more headphones you try the more you’ll be able to pick out the sound that you like the most. I modified my M50x with the hybrid Brainwavs Pads and added 2 small vents in the cups to cut the low and high down and make it more neutral as well as open up the soundstage to have better separation (and velour-leather hybrid provides benefits from both worlds regarding comfort-to-leakage). I power the DT 770 with a Phil Jones Big Head DAC/amp.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do these compare to the DT-990 Pros--250ohm
Answer:	Yes. By removing the 1/8” to 1/4” adapter, you should be able to use these with a standard laptop configuration
Question:	what kind of cable does it feature
Answer:	This depends highly on your application. For general listening, no. If you’re going to use these in a multi-headphone or live recording environment, I’d recommend a headphone amp regardless of the headphones you use.
Question:	How comfortable are they? Are the circumaural
Answer:	Yes you can and it will work, it has a 3.5 plug and 6.35 adapter. The problem is, in order to enjoy the beautiful sound, your phone does not have enough power to drive this as this is high impedance headphone. So you need a portable amp. Even an amp below $100 will do.. its even better with a good amp. I have an LG v40 and an older okyo amp so i combined both. Great sound! Then i also have the Sony WM1A walkman. It can drive it with balance 4.4 plug , but again i need an amplifier to bring out the beast sound. So i used the Ifi iDSD black label with my sony walkman and this DT 1990 Pro.. otherwise, if u only use the phone exclusively, u will find the volume low and will just sound “ok”. U might end up returning it. But. I give this headphones, the Sony walkman and the ifi dsd black label amp all 5 stars!! I highly recommend it!!! Hope this helps and enjoy !! Oh and download some high res music files too! Not mandatory. At least you will have some high quality music files!
Question:	does the 250 Ohm version require an amp
Answer:	this is fantistic sounding headphones., well built and good comfort. Base should be enough for most or all your needs. I listen to R and B and hip hop EDM , pop , rock and its enough for me.. granting.. u have a good amp. This guy needs a good amp to drive them. otherwise the sound is just so so.. Im using Ifi Black label amp, and i use their xtra bass mode on all my music except with hip hop. ( i turn it off).. try it. u wont be disappointed. i highly recommend it. I dont have the Sundara's although im tempted to get one to compare and see which one i like better.
