## Description

Next-gen reference headphones with refined acoustics, improved comfort, and German engineering for professional studio mixing, mastering, and critical listening.

Review: Extremely expensive headphones but once you use them you will realise that it is money well spent. - Extremely expensive headphones but once you use them you will realise that it is money well spent. They are very comfortable to wear due to the quality of materials and construction, and they come with 2 sets of ear cups for different types of listening, and both a long straight cable and a short curly one. They should last for many years as all the components are available as spares which are user-replaceable. The sound quality is superb for any type of listening, and the low impedance means that they can be used with phones, tablets, computers, TVs etc., as well as studio equipment.
Review: Extremely good but same as previous model - This headphone is nothing short of excellent value for money, and not just for the studio usage it is designed for. I am not a professional and forcthis money I struggle to think of a more resolving or dynamic headphone. In my opinion, also the treble blamed by some reviewers with very young ears, is great. It enables it to sound as detailed as it does, something that, for example, the Sennheiser HD660S2 can't match. Is the DT1990 Mk2 clinical, cold and abrasive? Not at all. But here is a word of caution: neither was the revision 1. If you already own the first version of DT1990 Pro, in my experience you don't need the mk2 which sounds essentially identical. There are just minute differences which may be due to unit variation, or even to the fact that my Mk1 is 5y old and well-used, while this Mk2 was new open box (so not unused). I am returning it for this reason, not for any fault of this headphone which I am rating without hesitaton 5 star.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent choice for previous DT owners :)
*by S***T on 9 April 2026*

Honestly, worth every penny. These have been an absolute game changer for my music making. Whilst I would love closed-backs for making music in louder spaces, the benefit of much richer bass is harder to miss on these. As a step up from the 770 and 990, these genuinely are worth it if you have the cash. They're super flat - maybe a little brighter and slight energy in the mid-low (100Hz - 130Hz) is a little pokey, they really have helped me find time with my laptop and soundcard to make music away from the studio. Great headphones.
