beyerdynamic’s Studio Classic. Reimagined.

The DT 990 PRO has been a trusted tool in studios since the 1980s, praised for its detailed sound, affordable price point, optimal comfort, and durability. Over the decades, it’s earned loyalty from renowned musicians and producers, including Flume, Martin Garrix, and Metro Boomin.

Today, the open-back DT 990 PRO X builds upon that legacy and takes it to a new level. Designed for critical listening and editing, the expansive soundstage makes it the perfect complement to studio monitors, offering precision and clarity that help studio professionals identify even the finest sonic details and errors in their mix.

“Most at-home producers have studio monitors that they use to listen back to their mixes, said Kevin Nietsch, Product Manager at beyerdynamic. “With the DT 990 PRO X, we wanted to create a tool that modern studio professionals didn’t already have. The DT 990 PRO X headphones are engineered to magnify subtle mix imperfections that might otherwise go unnoticed – a true companion for studio monitors.”

Made for Professionals. Built to Last.

Designed with today’s at-home studio workflows in mind, the DT 990 PRO X features a 48-ohm impedance, making it easy to use across a variety of playback devices – from professional audio interfaces to portable setups. The detachable 3m mini-XLR to 3.5mm cable (with a 6.3mm adapter included) offers maximum connection flexibility in any environment.

At its core is beyerdynamic’s STELLAR.45 driver system, engineered in Germany with a wide frequency range of 5 – 40,000 Hz, offering exceptional resolution, low distortion, and impressive dynamic response.

Additional features of the DT 990 PRO X include ultra-soft velour ear cushions, and an ergonomically padded headband designed to alleviate pressure on the top of the head. The headphone is built with serviceable components to ensure it remains a go-to studio essential for years to come.

“The release of the DT 770 PRO X and DT 990 PRO X marks a new chapter for beyerdynamic - one where we’re adapting to the needs of the constantly evolving music production landscape,” continued Nietsch. We’re proud to serve the next generation of studio professionals and creators by continuing to release products that align with these needs.”
