All-black earcups and pads for the Black Edition

Black design elements distinguish this edition throughout the earcups and soft ear pads. The open construction lets air and sound pass through the housings, supporting the spacious presentation associated with the DT 990 PRO. It suits critical listening and editing in a quiet room, where you can focus on placement, noise and small changes in a recording. Sound can also escape into the surrounding space, so consider nearby people and sensitive microphones when arranging your listening position.

80 Ohm dynamic transducers

The 80 Ohm configuration uses dynamic transducers with a specified frequency response of 5–35,000 Hz and nominal sound pressure level of 96 dB. Match the headphones to a suitable analogue headphone output and the listening level required for your work.

3 m straight cable

A fixed cable exits from one earcup and provides 3 m of reach. The straight cable helps position the headphones around a desk or studio station. A gold-plated 3.5 mm stereo plug and 6.35 mm adapter connect to compatible headphone outputs.

Replaceable contact surfaces

Soft circumaural ear pads surround the ears, while padded support and an adjustable spring steel headband provide a secure fit. Replaceable ear pads and headband padding allow worn contact surfaces to be renewed during continued studio use.

Made in Germany for repeated studio sessions

The beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO Black Edition 80 Ohm is made in Germany and designed for professional listening work. Its serviceable construction, padded headband and single-sided cable support a setup where headphones are repeatedly put on and taken off. The Black Edition keeps the same acoustic transducer design as its corresponding DT 990 PRO version, with black styling and the straight-cable arrangement identifying this finish.
