Handcrafted in Germany, the Beyerdynamic DT990 is a sophisticated headphone designed for audio enthusiasts. The build quality is second to none, and the detail and soundstage are among the best available at this price point. This is also the lightest headphone in its class, so hours of use will induce little to no fatigue. The sonic reproduction is the cornerstone of Beyerdynamic's design and comes through with forward-sounding highs and a punchy, rich bass response. Have you ever noticed John and Ringo whispering in the background of a Beatles outro? No? Sounds like you could use the Beyerdynamic DT990.
