Review: Best open back headphones in its price range -- after trying SEVERAL others - Beyerdynamic 483966 DT 990 Premium 600 ohm HiFi Headphones I own this headphone AND the DT 990 PRO 250OHM headphone. I really think in my opinion these are the best OPEN CAN headphones for the price range. I bought a bunch of other ones in the price range before and ended up very unsatisfied. Example: Philips Audio Fidelio X2HR, Audio-Technica ATH-AD500X , Sennheiser HD 599. None of those were acceptable to me. My ears just really gravitate to BeyerDynamics GT990 series headphones so why not just buy it again ? I bought this one because I wanted to use it for just dedicated music listening on my hifi stereo. I use the 250ohm "pro" for computer usage for mastering multitrack recordings (note not for actual recording since they leak a LOT due to openback design, but for mastering songs). HEre is my main obvservations between these "premium 600ohm" vs "pro 250ohm": 1. These are lighter on the head 2. These have straight cord rather than coiled 3. The obvious GREY vs black open back look 4. These are 600ohm , and require a good headphone amp to drive them -- my stereo has a really good discreet headphone amp and they sound amazing -- without an amp, you will find them somewhat quiet. The 250ohm require less power to drive them and actually can be used direct to phones too 5. This 600hm version sounds just a TOUCH crisper than the 250ohm version --- if you dont like clinically crisp sound, then you will not like them. 6. To be honest, I find for some reason the "airyness" or "open" "wide" sound stage is better on the 250ohm version (?) It 's likely i have not broken them in enough but at first listen, thats my gutt feel. After a good 50hours maybe i'll feel differently. 7. This comes with a very nice case If you dont know what the DT900 series sound like in general? I will describe them as extremely open and "airy" , very wide 3D sounding headphones. They are not the flattest response but thats not what i want in music listening. It's an exciting musical headphone, very forward treble crispness. Not heavy bass but very well balanced bass and just enough mid end presence to make vocals sound right up there. Comfort-wise, I've yet to ever complain wearing them for an entire 8hour work day!! NEVER gets hot around the head. Never fatiguing because it is very light. Portability isnt the forte since it doesnt really fold. It's too bad the cord isnt replaceable though. I'm really happy with this and i highly recommend giving this a shot if youre around the ballpark of ~250-350 price range and looking for an openback set.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will everyones ears fit into these? I like Astro**
A: My family stood side-by-side, ear-to-ear so we could all listen, but the headphones were too small to Fit “everyone’s ears into these”...plus my daughters ears get pretty waxy so the sound quality playing out of her ear hole would have been muffled.

**Q: What is the difference between the 250 ohm and 32 ohm models?**
A: The Ohm is the unit of electrical impedance. It's a measure of how difficult it is for current to flow through the conductor. A conductor with a higher impedance will require a higher voltage to push an equivalent current level through it than one with a lower impedance. A 10-volt source can drive 40 milliamps (.04 amps) through a 250 Ohm impedance, but you only need a 1.5V battery to push 47 milliamps through a 32 ohm impedance. This is why 32 Ohm headphones are recommended for portable equipment (phones, etc), where low-voltage battery sources are common. 

A 600 Ohm headphone is more appropriate for studio work, where the amplifier driving them often uses +/- 15 volts (a 30 volt swing).  A 250 ohm headphone is one that attempts to bridge both worlds - low enough to be used with battery powered sources, but "stiff" enough (electrically) to take advantage of the benefits that a big voltage swing provides, such as a higher s/n ratio.

A lower impedance headphone (everything else being equal) does NOT require less power to use. In fact, it requires slightly more. But you do not want to use a 600 ohm set of headphones (in general) with a low-voltage amp such as one the one in your phone or laptop. Generally, they will not play as loudly, as they will require more current than the amplifier can provide into the higher impedance.

**Q: Do these headphones have a removable cable?**
A: I have the dt 990 pro 250 ohms, and no they do not have a removal cable.

**Q: Will these completely encase the ear? I can't stand headphones that put the cushion on the ear instead of around it completely, only touching the head**
A: As long as your head is not very large, it can wrap your ears. if you want choice 250Ω or 600Ω before you need Bought a Amp。

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sounding
*by A***N on 18 January 2026*

Sounds good, fit well and are comfortable for long use. Not too heavy. Cable is a good length and well made. As this is the 600 ohm one, you need an amp that can drive it properly.
