The cult object
The DT 990 Edition 600 Ohm, from German manufacturer Beyerdynamic, is an open dynamic headphone of exceptional quality and suitable for all music styles and have been winning the hearts of countless hi-fi and music enthusiasts since the 1980s. Whether you are into pop, classical or jazz, the DT 990’s will deliver the true sound as it was originally intended. The reduced weight of the diaphragm and moving coil result in a similar pulse characteristic as electrostatic headphones and in combination with a carefully tailored frequency response provide a natural and balanced sound. The 600 Ohm version were developed to get the best out of hi-fi systems with especially powerful headphone outputs or special headphone amplifiers.
Excellent wearing comfort
These over-ear headphones are very light for their size and ensure a pleasant fit thanks to their carefully selected materials. The soft ear pads are made from breathable and skin-friendly velour, effectively keeping any build-up of heat away from your ears and allowing you to enjoy music for hours. The combination of a comfortable headband and robust yokes made from aluminium, ensure a comfortable fit and excellent stability and because all the components and replacement parts are always available, you are guaranteed a product that is exceptionally durable.
