## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the cable detachable and how long is it?**
A: No it isn't detachable and it's 3 m long and a straight cable (Pro has a 3 m coiled cable)

**Q: Would both Denon and Marantz mini systems, rated 30 W per channel be powerful enough to drive the 250 ohm version?**
A: Mine is 32 ohm version, working on portable device perfectly. I think you should plug the 250 ohm version into the earphone jack of your mini system.

**Q: How is the bass?**
A: The bass is fairly flat compared to the source recording. These are monitor headphones. The frequency response is fantastic but getting this response to actually play out is rather challenging due to high ohm requirement. So you'll need a good source and a strong, high ohm amplifier for these phones.

**Q: Hello ,i have a musical fidelity x can headphone amp ,would it be compatable with these headphones ?**
A: I'm not sure but you may find it hard to drive these head phones. I looked online and I could not find any headphone output rating for the item. It just says 100mW into 40 ohms....s/n ratio is low so I would say u would need a 32ohm pair to get them to be driven well. Best thing you can do is try a pair and send them back if you can not get a decent volume and detail out of them. Good luck... ; )

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome, definitely need a headphone amp to power the 250 Ohm version.
*by P***L on 8 May 2020*

So this is an out of the box review of the 990 edition, so first 24 hours of ownership.I am a bit of a headphone nerd so can tell pretty quickly if I’m going to like a pair of headphones. I currently own AKG 702 & 7xx, senn HD6xx and Philips X2HR headphones so I am comparing the 990’s to those directly.I bought the “edition” version as I wanted a straight cable and the few other tweaks they’ve made to make them more “home friendly”.Build and design: so they look cool, better in person and feel well built (much better than AKGs for example). I would’ve liked the shells and grills to be metal but this would increase cost and weight so not necessary and purely aesthetic.Comfort: these are very comfortable. When you first put them on they don’t feel like they are going to be as comfortable as people make out but very quickly you forget you’re wearing them. I would rate them right up there on comfort out of the box. Most people rave about 650/6xx being comfortable, rubbish, those things hurt unless you’ve got a peanut sized head or you stretch out the headband which is easy to do. These need no “breaking in” in the comfort dept.Sound (most important bit): these are right up there with the best at under 500 dollars/pounds. They seem to tick all the boxes and combine all the best bits of the other headphones. They have plenty of bass but not too much, clear highs and have an airy feel to them or “wide soundstage” for all the audiophile nerds out there.Negatives: I have got the 250 ohm variant and they are a beast to power. I have the 300 ohm 6xx and the 990’s are harder to power than those. I have a zen DAC currently which powers them ok but I’ve had to crank it to over 2 O clock on the DAC to get a good volume level (I do listen to metal so quite loud). The zen isn’t the most powerful so your mileage may vary but a headphone amp is a must for these. Go for the lower resistance headphones if you don’t want to buy or do not have a headphone amp.I love these headphones and they are definitely going to be keepers. My 702’s have already been packed away!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing sound
*by T***S on 25 March 2025*

The final upgrade to my system - see my other reviews. My old Beyerdynamic DT990 Pros (250 ohm) are 35 years old and the cable connecting the two headphones has become stiff, has split and is held together with insulation tape. They still sound great....I decided to buy the 600 ohm version also because this model is less tight on the head and doesn't have the coiled cable. To be fair, when the pads are new they are quite stiff and so they are not as comfortable until they are broken in a bit. Having said that with the other improvements to my system these have a wonderful sound, much sharper and defined than my old pair with a less pronounced bass end but still plenty of it. They will need some "running in" but very pleased with thr sound which is no doubt significantly enhanced by the cable choices on my system.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, fun cans
*by M***K on 27 February 2025*

Im leaving these 4 stars as both my pairs came with a defect that had a small loose piece rattling about the right earcup but i will say that this has long been fixed.I loved the sound out of these, i would say fun sounding and crystal clear, really easy to listen to for long sessions and they feel like wearing a cloud yet are built like a tank as all bayers are. Spare parts are also easy to come by if you plan on keeping these for years to come.
