beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro Acoustically Open Headphones (250 Ohms) with Knox Gear Large Hard Shell Headphone Case Bundle (2 Items)

Why would noise cancellation be a rating for open back headphones?? Anyways, I am not sure what the deal is with the headphones. First off not sure if I received a refurbished or a knock off, but I reviewed other comments and appears these phones looks good and cheap at the same time. I hate the cable build. Even for this price it should have been detachable. The sound quality, as soons as I played music it sounded harsh, distorted, the highs were like sizzling in my ears it was likey ears were getting fatigued. So I played another song and another song , old songs from the 80s and every song sounded the same. Now I must say they are very detailed or more like overly detailed. It makes music sound bad. I changed the iTunes EQ to flat and it sounded a tad better. Running this out my Apollo twin interface which has enough power to push these, but I found turning the volume down LOW helped the ear fatigue but still the music sounded a mess. I found one song that sounded decent. How am I supposed bro know how to mix with these ? My judgement will be so far off comparing the mix from these with other cans. I am waiting for a high quality headphone amp to see if this makes a difference. But so far not pleased. But whats strange is I demoed these at guitar center and it sounded sooo superb which is why I bought these. I figured I got a bad pair but reading up on other reviews most everyone says the same thing. I am lossed. And cannot ever recommend these to anyone.

I dont know but i owned this headphones before, but got stolen, so I ordered this one, it doesnt say fake or anything and everything seems fine, just the earpads feel TOO BAD, it gives me headaches everyday and I cant fix it.

The sound output is very low. Every device that I plug the headphones into, the sound, sounds very low. I turned the volume up on the devices to the max and its as if its at 10 decibals if the max could be 30...

Great sound quality for mixing and mastering purposes

I do music production as a hobby but I take it seriously and I purchased these to fill a void. During semi and final mixing, having an open back simulates a wider spectrum of sound. Closed back headphones dont reflect what a mix will sound like on earbuds or speakers, an open back tends to cover that better. Im much happier with the mixed down sound I get on my iPhone or my car speakers when I use these headphones for that task.

The two stand out qualities of these headphones are sound quality and comfort. They are studio quality and you’re able to wear them for hours without the usual pressure headaches associated with long term use of over the ear headphones.

Product sounds really good but struggling to make it loud enough for my liking. I’m running it into a focusrite scarlet solo interface but it’s about 70% of the volume I would like it to max considering the scarlet can output 600 Ohms of power. I’ll update if I find a fix.

The higher register is a bit sharp, but its you get used to it. Otherwise they sound wonderful. I feel I am slowly becoming an audiophile. (!)
