The DT 990 Edition stereo headphones have been appreciated for decades as a reliable companion. The headphones convince with their natural and lively sound and are ideal for many music styles. As all components and spare parts are always available, a long product life is guaranteed.
Spectacular sound
The DT 990 Edition comes in an open back design. This means that background noise outside the headphones remains clearly discernible even at higher volumes. This design lends the music a feeling of a wide soundstage, an appreciation of space that gives almost the same sense of enjoyment as listening to music with loudspeakers. The sound is spectacular. Distinctive highs and intense bass combine to produce a perfect richness of sound that delights rock and pop enthusiasts in particular.
EXCELLENT WEARING COMFORT
The over-ear headphones are very light for their size and ensure a pleasant fit thanks to their carefully selected materials. The soft ear pads are made from breathable and skin-friendly velour, effectively keeping any build-up of heat away from your ears and allowing you to enjoy music for hours. The combination of comfortable headband and robust yokes made from aluminium ensure a comfortable fit and excellent stability.
MADE IN GERMANY
The promise of quality "Made in Germany" starts with the high-quality components. The next step involves hand production in Germany, where the product is assembled with care and attention to detail. Finally, these over-ears are characterized by their longevity, since many individual parts are interchangeable.
Any questions left?
Both models are similar in terms of their mechanical and acoustic quality. The numbers 880 and 990 do not provide any indication of higher or lower quality. The models do, however, differ significantly in their playback in terms of acoustic design and frequency response.
You can tell the impedance of the integrated sound transducers from the connection plug. The impedance is sometimes hot stamped onto the plastic shaft of the plug:<
If there is nothing there, the model has an impedance of 250 ohms.
If it reads 32 Ω, the model has an impedance of 32 ohms.
If it reads 600 Ω, the model has an impedance of 600 ohms.
