Product Information

While the DT 990 Pro is a comfortable headphone to wear, it has a seriously flawed design with poor frequency response which exaggerates the heck out of highs and dumps a bunch of distortion in there for good measure. The DT 990 Pro comes with soft velour earpads, as well an adjustable padded spring steel headband for maximum comfort making them ideal for long sessions.
