Professional over-ear headphones designed for musicians, recording professionals and music lovers who are looking for an alternative to popular audiophile headphones from Bose, B&W and other big-name brands. The model is the next round of evolution in the DT line, which the German brand Beyerdynamic announced back in 2015. It retains the best features of the original DT 990 Pro, but at the same time it is literally improved in everything - from body materials to sound detail and extended frequency range.
True, the price has increased by more than 2 times, so Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO can be safely recorded in the ranks of expensive instruments for studio recording, mixing and mastering. Compared to the DT 990 Pro, the design has been improved, the leather-covered headband looks much more solid, the velor ear cushions have become softer and more pleasant to the touch, and the weight of the headphones, although increased, has become more comfortable on the head.
Reinforced metal fasteners are used at the junctions of the cups with the bracket. The brackets are also metal. And the base of the headband is made of spring steel. All parts of the headphones can be bought separately and replaced on their own, since the design of the case greatly simplifies this process. The proprietary 45mm drivers are built using Tesla 2.0 technology, which differs from the first version by using a lightweight three-layer membrane.
Beyerdynamic doesn't reveal too many technical details, just assuring that the sound quality has been significantly improved in every way. The headphone kit includes a replacement cable, a carrying case and a pair of replacement ear pads. According to the user, the ear pads have a noticeable effect on the sound: velor ear pads provide a neutral, analytical sound, leather ear pads provide a warmer sound with a slight bias towards low frequencies. Those. The first option is more suitable for mixing, the second for recording.

Rebirth of a legend
Beyerdynamic has made sure that the new DT 1990 PRO is perceived as an evolution of the legendary DT 990 PRO. This can be seen from the continuity of the design, and from the name, and from the big slogan The Evolution Of a Studio Legend on the box. And this is really an evolution, improvements are felt in almost everything, from premium case materials to new features like Tesla 2.0 technology or extended frequency range. However the price of the new product is almost 3 times higher than the original model, so we will analyze all the improvements under a magnifying glass.
Get busy and forget about everything else
The headphones themselves, in direct comparison with the DT 990 PRO, look more expensive and of higher quality. This is facilitated by a leather headband, very comfortable velor ear pads and textured black cups that are pleasant to the touch. The quality of workmanship is felt in every screw. Then there is the issue of convenience. The original 990s usually sat like a glove on the head, the new DT 1990 PRO has a much softer headband cushion and a more comfortable fit to the head. This compensates for the slightly increased weight of the headphones. Working in the studio in them is a pleasure, the head does not get tired at all. A pair of interchangeable ear cushions (velor for the studio, leather for the home) and a pair of interchangeable cables, one straight, the other spiral, add convenience.
Won't let you down in any situation
Their sound is rich and detailed, with full-bodied deep bass, slightly detached but full-fledged mids and crystal-clear highs. Compared to the DT 990 PRO, the sound has become clearer and more detailed, the sensitivity has increased, the bass articulation has improved significantly and the frequency spectrum has become more even. It is still impossible to call them absolutely linear, but their value during mixing has increased significantly, since there are much fewer misses in the spectrum than with conventional 990s. And in general, they have become much more versatile, with such you can restore the sound, and mix pop hits, and record vocals. Based on these realities, we would recommend the 990s as a low-cost option for the 1990 PRO if you need to save money. In all other cases, the novelty is a step or two ahead.
