#Headphones #beyerdynamic

The beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO headphones are open-back. That means there's less pressure and more position for the stereo image. You'll be able to better judge things like panning and spatial effects with these headphones, vs closed-back headphones.

The DT 990 PROs are also extremely comfortable. They are probably the most comfortable headphones I have ever used. The frame is super light, and the ear cups are covered in a soft velour - so you almost forget you even have them on.

The DT 990 PRO headphones are most suited for mixing and mastering. You can track with them, but ONLY if you are not using microphones. Since they are open-back, sound will pour out of these things and into any nearby microphone. So, don't get these for singing, podcasting, or anything else where a live microphone is involved.

The sound is stunning. Extremely natural, almost like you are listening through speakers in a room. You have a much better sense of space with the DT 990's vs. closed-back phones.

You could mix and master on these phones without the need for a virtual mix room plugin. However, since the DT 990's are so popular, most Virtual Mix Room plugins will have a DT 990 profile - so that can be an extra layer of realism for you to check your mix on.
