Headphones are entirely subjective; there is not just the audio factor, but comfort, style, portability, practicality...all those criteria (and more) that make up the reasoning for embracing or spurning this kind of equipment. From my perspective, I value audio reproduction where the delivery is warm, weighty and not harsh, while at the same time detailed and spacious, and these headphones deliver on those counts. Style is not a consideration for me, as I will never wear them outside the house, nor will I care who sees me wearing them in the house! Build quality is excellent; no fears of pulling them too hard, no need to baby them between listens...they are well designed and (comparatively) hard-wearing. Price is really secondary; but these from one seller and you could pay over $400. Buy from another and you could score a great deal for just over the $100 mark. I use these with the Sony UDA-1 DAC; high-res audio files in digital format. I don't listen to vinyl and my time spent with CDs (possibly as a result of this audio pairing) is waning considerably. As with any product, you must research within your criteria and audition various products from various manufacturers. This products works amazingly well for me in terms of the above. I hope it will for you. If not, and you've already paid for it, you should try some more and make someone like me happy with a great eBay deal :-) Read full review

Fatiguing treble. Very surprised that such a popular set would sound like this. Not as comfy as Sennheiser HD. clarity good overall. Sibilance magnifier. Low power handling. Low spl. Reached excursion limits on a Kenwood CD player front panel HP output. Stand alone HP amplifier made very little difference in sound or output except compared to cell phone.

This is a well known set that has been loved by every user. I have used the headphones for the past 2 weeks with an external amp to drive the 250 ohm headphones. Clear but no bass of course and flat on the frequency. It sounds perfect for music lovers and can be used for gaming as well, but don't expect any super bass similar to the Beats brand or even the Razr. It's the middle ground between audiophile and casual listeners and the price is justified. One thing I would love to have is a removable cable (replaceable cable) but I guess on this price level that is not an option.

This is the first pair of real I have purchased. Have looked at several over the years but the price tag of $200 Plus has kept me from it. My son has a pair of these so I was able to test them before purchase. These headphones provide a very well balanced sound. The bass is not overbearing, the treble not tinny, and the mid-range is clear and strong. This makes this an excellent headphone for people who like to listen to a wide variety of music. I like rock, blues, jazz, classical, new age -- basically all over the musical map and I have tried these on all types of music and was very pleased with the experience.

I have owned many headphones ranging from simple earbuds to high end studio headphones, but nothing compares to the sound reproduction of the DT990s. Lows and highs are crystal clear and the soundstage is incredible! These are my go to headphones when I want to experience blissful surround sound coming in its clearest form. If you're looking for noise cancellation, these are not for you because they are open back by design and allow sound to move freely). If you want booming bass that rattles your head, these are not for you because they are designed for level sound reproduction (no overemphasis on the bass or treble). If you want to hear every note as it was recorded in the studio, these are the headphones for you. They deliver crisp treble and punchy bass with a slightly weak mid-range. These are some of the best headphones in their price range.Read full review
