Like they say in court: Swear to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth....!!! Well, these cans do just that. They are not pricey at all, as a matter of fact they are an incredi... read more [+]ble value considering their superb construction, amazing comfort, and their stunningly faithful reproduction of the program material fed into them.

I've had the same pair of these as my daily headphones for almost 15 years now, hard to believe. Had to replace the ear pads every few years, but they still work great. The sound is detailed and full,... read more [+] and I find them very comfortable even after hours of listening.

Beyerdynamic customer support is great too, they are very friendly.

I highly recommend these and would replace them with the same ones. close [-]

The DT990 headphones are working great. I've never heard
such clean, strong bass from a pair of headphones. The DT990 has much fuller/more powerful bass than the Denon D2000, Ultrasone 780, ... read more [+]or Grado 80. They're great for computer gaming, too. Very comfortable, with a secure fit but no clamp effect on my head. I'm thrilled with my purchase and will be back when I'm ready to get more great audio gear.
Thanks!

AWESOME

These headphones sound FANTASTIC! They are a bit pricey but worth it!!!! Transparent, natural, infinitely revealing... I use them as a reference in my recording studio. One reviewer wanted more bass? ... read more [+]Bass response seems flat to me, the low fundmentals are there and well represented. If you want a good reference from deep lows to high highs in a headphone you can wear and listen to for hours w/o fatigue these are the ones! If you want to thump your skull to death maybe Skullcandy has something for you? close [-]

Awesome

This my first end of high-end headphones, so I can't compare them them to others' personal favorites, but I can say that these are amazing. Before, I could tell bass problems existed in my mixes, but ... read more [+]lacked the ability to fix the problems. Now I can hear the bass spectrum in greater detail and clean up the mud with precision. Mixes are leaving the studio sounding great the first time. The frustration of sitting in the studio for hours only to be disappointed when the mix moves to a commercial system is gone.

As an added bonus, the clarity across the spectrum allows me to fine tune the timbre of instruments to get really ballsy sounding guitars, drums, and mid-range bass guitar. Making and listening to music is fun again! close [-]

I have to say it's the most personal order I've ever made from the pre-ship phone call, to the email, and finally the candy in the box. Thanks! I don't think I could beat the customer service even in a local shop
