beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO: Hear the Space in Your Mix
beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO brings open-back monitoring to recording, editing and focused listening. Its 45mm Tesla neodymium driver system and 250-ohm design give you a clearly defined place in your audio setup: an open listening perspective for judging stereo placement, reverberation and the balance between instruments.
This page covers the DT 1990 PRO 250-ohm model. The open earcups allow sound to pass in and out, so a quiet room is the right environment for critical work.

Explore the Features

FEATURE 01
45mm Tesla Drivers
The Tesla transducers give this original DT 1990 PRO its detailed presentation. Listen closely to layering, reverberation and transient detail when deciding how instruments should sit together.

FEATURE 02
Open Earcups for Spatial Judgement
The vented construction supports a spacious listening perspective. It is useful for evaluating stereo width, but it also means people nearby can hear some of your playback.

FEATURE 03
Two Pad Tunings in One Package
Analytical and Balanced velour pads are supplied. Choose the presentation that fits the job, then keep that choice consistent while making tonal comparisons.
FEATURE 04
A 250-Ohm Studio Load
This is the original high-impedance version. Pair it with a suitable interface or headphone amplifier so that you can work at a sensible level without running the output at its limit.

FEATURE 05
Comfort for Detailed Work
Soft, replaceable ear pads surround the ears and the padded headband supports longer listening sessions. Taking regular listening breaks remains important when checking fine details.

FEATURE 06
Detachable Mini-XLR Connection
The locking cable attachment makes changing a worn cable straightforward and helps keep the connector secure during use. Cable replacement does not require replacing the complete headphone.
FEATURE 07
Straight or Coiled Cable
Use the 3m straight cable for a stationary desk layout, or the 5m coiled cable where you want a cable that extends as you move. Route either cable away from chair wheels.

FEATURE 08
German Construction and Serviceable Parts
The metal construction and replaceable headband and pads support regular studio use. Inspect wear parts periodically to maintain a comfortable fit and a consistent acoustic seal.

FEATURE 09
A Case for the Complete Setup
The supplied hard case keeps the headphone and accessories together between sessions. Store the spare pad set and unused cable with the headphone so they remain easy to find.
Choose the Right Listening Setup
Use a capable headphone output on an audio interface or dedicated amplifier. Start with low volume, then raise it to a comfortable working level. Impedance alone does not tell you how loudly every source will play.
Check edits at a consistent listening level and compare familiar reference tracks. For recording close to an open microphone, switch to closed-back monitoring when headphone spill would be a problem.
Compare Your Options at AX Store
For a different monitoring approach, compare DT 700 PRO X closed-back headphones and DT 900 PRO X open-back headphones. Match the earcup design to your room and recording workflow.
A dedicated source such as FiiO K11 R2R or FiiO K7 can be part of a desktop listening system. Check the output connection and headphone requirements before choosing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the DT 1990 PRO open-back or closed-back?
It is a open-back over-ear headphone. Its vented earcups let sound pass through, which suits a quiet mixing or listening space.
Does it need a headphone amplifier?
A capable headphone output is recommended for this 250-ohm model. Some portable outputs may not provide enough level or headroom.
Is the cable replaceable?
Yes. The cable detaches from a locking 3-pin mini-XLR connector on the headphone. Both a straight cable and a coiled cable are included.
Why are there two sets of ear pads?
Analytical and Balanced velour. The supplied pad choices let you adapt the headphone to different listening priorities. Use the same pads consistently when comparing mixes.
Does it include a microphone or Bluetooth?
No. This is a wired stereo monitoring headphone, without an integrated voice-chat microphone or Bluetooth connection.
Can I use it for gaming?
Yes, with a suitable headphone output. A separate microphone is needed for voice chat. The open design is best used in a quiet room.
Is this the original or MKII version?
This listing is the original 250-ohm model, not the 30-ohm MKII version.
