DT 990 BLACK
SPECIAL EDITION

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.

Any questions left?

Which model is the best? DT 880 Edition or DT 990 Edition?

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.

How can I tell what the impedance of my DT 880/990 Edition is?

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.
