An Ultra-comfortable Version of the DT 990

The DT 990 Premium Edition Headphones are made for listening in total comfort. You'll love the headband's plush padding and moderate clamping force. Skin-friendly velour ear pads ensure a comfortable listening experience for hours on end. You'll enjoy the same excellent sound quality of the original DT 990s too! These open-back headphones feature 45mm dynamic drivers for an expansive sound and brilliant bass. The DT 990 Premium Edition headphones provide you with a three-dimensional sound that reproduces all media details for a listening experience that few headphones can match. The DT 900 Premium Edition Headphones also included an updated look for the musician on the cutting edge.

Open-back design facilitates a natural listening feel

Traditional closed-back headphones give you the sensation of being in the studio with your favorite artists. But with open-backs, like the DT 990 Premium Edition headphones, there's no isolation to prevent ambient noise from entering the mix. It feels as if your favorite artists are right there in the room, treating you to a private concert. The open-back design and super-flat frequency response make the DT 990 Premium Edition headphones excellent for mixing without monitors or listening to your favorite records while keeping an ear on children in the next room.

Comfort assurance for long sessions

You'll appreciate the DT 990 Premium Edition's high comfort, thanks to its reduced headband pressure and a soft headband pad. The soft velour earpads and headband pad can be easily replaced. The single-sided, stright cable is fitted with a gold vaporized 1/8" stereo jack plug and 1/4" adapter. The headphone comes in a carrying case that keeps your headphones safe from dust and dirt. The DT 990 Premium Edition headphones are a serious contender for recording, mixing, and pleasure!

Beyerdynamic DT 990 Premium Edition Open-back Headphones Features:

  • Ultra-comfortable version of Beyerdynamic's classic DT 990 headphones
  • Open-back design provides a spacious listening experience
  • 45mm dynamic drivers reproduce stunning bass and clear highs
  • Easily replaceable parts let you keep the headphones in tip-top shape

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Rated 5/5

best on the market

these headphones do away with any buildup that you are going to have of sub frequencies in closed back headphones BUT even at that they are still the best headphones on the market if you enjoy open back designs. i prefer closed back because i love subs and low end, but to someone trying to get a flat view of their song, this is the pair for you. if you are not in a quiet environment, try one of their closed back headphones.

A great upgrade from my old ATH-M40X headphones

Had some old ATH-M40X headphones and I thought those were great. I got these on the recommendation of my Sweetwater salesperson, Paul Rowan (He's the best!). I could not believe how clear these sounded compared to my old headphones. I mostly use these with my Solid State Logic SSL2+ Audio Interface and they are just great. Because of their 600 ohm impedance, I have to drive them harder, but I found that for my listening levels, I never have to max out the volume. These headphones are also super comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. All in all, this was one of my better purchases this year.

True sound

As long as you have hardware good enough to drive these they produce sound indistinguishable from the real thing. All while being able to hear the dog knock something over in the next room lol. Highly recommended. How am I seriously the first review on these? They should be selling like hotcakes...
