My biggest concern is that frequency-wise, it is not at all flat, but it is good to know where the peaks and troughs are so you keep it in mind while mixing. (I won't go into technical specs, as you can compare on the Beyerdynamic website). The DT 990 Edition comes with a straight cable, so it doesn’t have the weight to bounce around if you are on the move, or not sitting at a table. The stereo image in the DT 990 is incredibly accurate from left to right, front to back, and you can really hear where each instrument or sound is placed. If open and close back is not your concern, the most obvious difference to me in the sound is the spatial difference. It is not noise-cancelling, but it does a good job. The DT 770 protects you more from outside noise. So if someone next to you is watching something on their phone on speaker, it can be very hard for both parties (but mostly more annoying for you). However, because the DT 990 is open, it means that you can hear external noise very easily and they can hear you. It has an open back and you can listen for hours, for listening or for mixing and mastering. The DT 990 is less tiring while using for long periods. This is because the close-back of the DT 770 reduces the spill of the headphone into the microphone. This means that DT 990 is better for mixing and mastering, while DT 770 is better for recording. The biggest difference is that DT 990 has an open back and DT 770 has a closed back. Good quality headphones can go up to 1000s of Euros along with headphone amps and other high-end stuff, but these are both studio-grade headphones and the DT 770 Pro is a standard in good recording studios for tracking (we use them at Abbey Road Institute (Amsterdam) and Red Bull Studios Amsterdam).ĭIFFERENCES BETWEEN DT 770 250 Ohm and DT 990 250 Ohm For the quality of the headphones, the price is very good. Frequency-wise, they both sound pretty similar to me. The bass is not exaggerated like in some other headphones, so for listening and mixing pleasure, it’s rather suitable for acoustic music, and not music where the bass is key e.g. Soundwise, both are very clear and crisp in sound. Spongy ear cups and the headband is not too tight. Both headphones are incredibly comfortable to wear over the ears. SIMILARITIES BETWEEN DT 770 250 Ohm and DT 990 250 OhmĬomfort. First I’d like to point out the similarities: Now, back to the comparison of 770 and 990. So I’m going to compare the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250 Ohm (closed) and DT 990 Edition 250 Ohm (open) and tell you which one I use for which purpose.īuy the DT 990 Edition 250 Ohm: (not available anymore on Thomann but take a look at other products) Are you looking for a good quality headphone for recording, mixing and mastering at a good price? Maybe you’ve heard about Beyerdynamic DT series and don’t understand the differences.
