Studio Headphones for Critical Listening

The DT 990 PRO X is an open-back, over-ear headphone designed for professional mixing, editing and critical listening. Handcrafted in Germany, it features the STELLAR.45 driver system delivering a wide five to forty thousand hertz frequency range. Replaceable velour ear pads and a balanced headband ensure comfort during extended sessions.

48 Ohm Impedance for Universal Compatibility

The low forty eight ohm impedance allows consistent performance when connected directly to portable devices, computers, audio interfaces or amplifiers without requiring a dedicated high-power headphone amp. A three metre detachable cable with a locking mini XLR connector is included, along with three point five millimetre and six point three millimetre adapters for flexible connectivity.

Suits Studio Professionals and Discerning Listeners

Ideal for audio engineers, editors and enthusiasts who need an analytical, spacious soundstage to identify subtle mix flaws such as noise or clipping. The open-back design leaks sound and offers no isolation, so it is not suited for recording tracking, noisy environments, commuting or listeners who prefer a closed-back presentation with enhanced bass impact.
