" ... the sound is crystal clear I mean they're really good! ... in music: Perfect experience, it is so clear! ... I mainly listen to hiphop, folk, and classics. ... similar experience with games for both headphones but the dt 990 are slightly better, in music and films the dt 990 are the best. ... "
" ... The sound quality is superb, far beyond anything I've ever listen to. ... "
" ... These headphones are probably going to be the headphones I’m going to have for the next five years for comfort and sound quality. ... "
" ... They are superb for critical listening, even at home. ... They make music listening exciting and new! ... "
" ... They simply sound amazing. ... They are SUPER comfy, and their open-backed design allows you to hear the room WITH the music (as if listening to a completely new set of monitors). ... Regardless of how good headphones may sound, you just can't properly master with headphones. ... "
" ... Music is great. ... "
" ... For example, I use Sony Hear Ons as “lifestyle” headphones because of the Bluetooth capabilities and its portability. ... In terms of sound, I actually prefer the more open soundstage, which makes sense since it’s already an open-backed design. ... Now for the good part, the sound quality. ... I’m pretty basic so I listen to most mainstream music (EDM, Hip-Hop, Chillstep, etc.) ... With these factors for reference, I found these headphones to be my best audio investment yet. ... "
" ... The quality and sound is awesome! ... "

" ... Not feather-light like the old Koss on-ear phones, and I do feel some pressure on my big head, but still comfortable enough for long mixing sessions even wearing glasses. ... "
" ... the head spot is supported with a comfortable (almost like a pillow!) ... the velour ear pads are amazingly soft, ... the pads are easy to change. ... I can't imagine a more perfect experience than this, this will remain my favorite headphones for ever. ... insanely comfortable, the sound is so balanced and clear. ... "
" ... I feel like Ninja when I wear these ... "
" ... Most comfortable pair of headphones I have ever owned. ... "
" ... Although, as most of these reviews say, the headset does tend to fatigue your ears. ... As a gamer, who uses the headset for gaming sessions for about 2+ hours a day, you can feel your ears getting tired. ... "
" ... But still fits perfect on my head and feels solid like studio headphones should be. ... I don’t have an oily face so these pads look like they will last me awhile before I have to replace them. ... "
" ... I can wear them for hours. ... "
" ... They are comfortable for periods of long use and also sound great. ... "

" ... So with that being the only con for me I think these headphones are worth the money. ... "
" ... the price point just can't be beat for such a high quality pair of headphones. ... "
" ... There is a level of clarity that I've only heard from Sony's most expensive studio mastering headphones (which cost a great deal more). ... "
" ... Best headphones I've used thus far - I believe that as far as it goes best bang for your buck. ... "
" ... With these factors for reference, I found these headphones to be my best audio investment yet. ... Unless you have a bunch of money to spend on something like a pair of Sennheiser HD800’s, there’s really no need to look any further when presented with great value. ... The price is just right even for the average consumer and offers professional grade quality. ... "
" ... These are quality and worth the price! ... "
" ... Great entry point for new to high end headphones. ... "
" ... Worth every penny ... "

" ... I'd say you can also use them for recording (like electric guitar and bass and keyboards), just not for vocals or mic'ed instruments because you may get some bleed-through. ... "
" ... extremely good bass, I don't like bass but in this headphones there is something different, ... "
" ... Sound was amazing, a bit softer on the bass than I expected, but damn nice mids. ... "
" ... I don't think I've heard a set of studio headphones release this level of smooth, strong bass and still push out mids and highs, unhindered. ... "
" ... The bass is definitely prominent especially for an open back design without being too overpowering. ... Between the Pros and the Premiums, a bit of research led me to conclude that the Pros had slightly more bass, which I prefer. ... "
" ... I like to boost clarity and dynamic bass with Viper4Android on my rooted Axon 7 but this time I can just turn it off and enjoy it as is. ... Bass is really nice for an open back headphones compared to my Grado SR80e but because they're open back they leak sound and don't block sound from outside. ... "
" ... This headphone doesn't add weight/fullness to specific sounds. ... I also find this to have the most balanced low bass out of any dynamic OPEN headphone i've heard yet. ... "
" ... Definitely bass and treble oriented, mids are a little subdued, but overall sound amazing. ... "

" ... They are excellent headphones, they are not good in genres like rock unless it is symphonic or gender where male voices stand out because they do not feel very present (This is in the first hours of use after about 40 hours of use everything changes they sound a lot better) but in terms of gender as a classic or electronic music and where female voices predominate. ... "
" ... But still fits perfect on my head and feels solid like studio headphones should be. ... "
" ... These things are built well and will last. ... "
" ... The headband is wrapped with a soft layer of fake leather, which can attach and detach with a few clasp buttons. ... Don’t let the nearly plastic design fool you because it’s pretty high-quality polymer plastic and the build itself is solid. ... The adjustments aren’t as smooth as an all-metal design, but it works fine and can extend to fit almost any head. ... It also comes with a screw on 1/4 inch adapter, which is also gold-plated. ... The clamping force is somewhat tight, but I got used to it pretty fast. ... "
" ... The build quality is excellent as one would come to expect from beyerdynamics and to me personally the best part is they are engineered in such a fashion that everything is replaceable in case of damage ... "
" ... They are soft to the touch, but not much cushion at all. ... I expect more of a premium feeling cushion paying for headphones like these. ... "
" ... Lot more depth than my $130 steel series. ... "
" ... Very good quality and German workmanship. ... "

" ... Sound was amazing, a bit softer on the bass than I expected, but damn nice mids. ... "

" ... - sound quality is great, I can hear much more low end and the highs are much more crisp ... "
" ... Definitely bass and treble oriented, mids are a little subdued, but overall sound amazing. ... "
" ... The lows are not overbearing, the mids are perfect for what I use them for, and the highs are clean and crisp but not fatiguing to me what so ever. ... "
" ... Very detailed, great bass response but not somuchso that you need to use an EQ to tune it. ... "
" ... Where they work great is through my electronic drum kit and my phone (since I can change the EQ). ... "

" ... 5 star sound quality but i stupidly bought the only one that doesn't have a coiled cord and my cord gets knotted over and over again. ... Get the regular version same sound with a cord that won't tangle as much. ... "
" ... Besides that, I'd have liked for them to have the detachable cable like the Quincy Jones edition and a better headband. ... "
" ... I have the 250 ohm version with the special order straight cord, it usually come coiled. ... "
" ... I like it as it keeps the cord nicely organized, but where it's sort of short, my cat knocks all kinds of stuff off my desk when he's done being in my face, just due to getting caught in the cord. ... "
" ... the Coiled cord sucks, but a small price to pay for this kinda sound. ... "
