Big and with an unusual audio cable system, the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro studio headphones are amazing at audio reproduction and surprisingly comfortable to wear too. Designed for studio work (which is code for "not very portable") they feature the Beyerdynamic Tesla "neodymium" drivers that offer extraordinary sound reproduction depth and clarity. Dave Taylor of http://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ auditions them and offers the full scoop, including their rather spendy pricetag...

all right all right all
0:07
right I don't want to take these off
0:10
these are the Bayer Dynamic
0:12
dt990 Pro and they're prle headphones
0:16
and they're amazing they have just
0:18
incredible Crystal Clear deep rich sound
0:22
and there's so much sort of spatial um
0:26
oral stuff going on I don't even know
0:28
what the fancy words are but it's like
0:30
instead of having the music coming from
0:32
a little tiny speakers on both sides of
0:34
you you get this sense of this whole
0:36
landscape that the music coming from
0:39
it's really something and these are in
0:41
fact designed for Studios so they're not
0:44
particularly portable I will say that
0:47
the case is big enough that you could
0:49
actually probably get your cat in here
0:52
not recommended and I certainly do not
0:54
recommend doing mean things to cats but
0:57
they're big they come in a big case but
0:59
they have amazing big sound and they're
1:02
250 ohms 45 mm and they have what um
1:06
Bayer Dynamic calls their Tesla
1:08
neodymium drivers and you can find these
1:11
in some of the smaller Bayer Dynamics
1:13
but here in the 1990 Pro they really
1:17
come out with their full richness and
1:19
you really get a sense of what these can
1:21
do these little speakers and it's really
1:24
interesting headphones because there's a
1:25
lot they're doing that's different one
1:27
of which is and I'll give you a closeup
1:29
is that they're using what they call a
1:31
micro XLR or mini XLR actually um
1:35
connector and so it's sort of mimics the
1:39
three pins of what you'd find on a
1:40
studio microphone uh this means that
1:43
it's different it's not like the other
1:46
headphones you might have where it's
1:48
just an AUX Jack and a little tiny what
1:50
is it like .25 mm um audio jack whatever
1:54
it is the good news is that you have
1:56
this on one end but you do have that
1:58
standard audio connector on the other
2:00
end so I can use these crazy super good
2:03
headphones with something as simple as
2:05
my iPhone so that turns out to be handy
2:08
of course there are you know different
2:11
adapters different ways you can plug it
2:13
in so if you are in a studio and you
2:15
have the bigger jack connectors and
2:17
stuff it's ready for all of that and it
2:19
comes with two 3M wires so this is the
2:22
coiled one and they also have one that's
2:25
not coiled obviously you just pick your
2:27
favorite and use it and let's see the
2:29
ear pads are actually replaceable it
2:31
comes with a second set of ear pads that
2:33
offer slightly different Acoustics and
2:36
they're super comfortable and again
2:38
that's because they didn't have to fight
2:40
with all the engineering challenges of
2:43
how do you fold this up how do you make
2:44
this really portable they just said this
2:46
is a studio headphone this is something
2:48
you're not going to want to take with
2:49
you on the road most likely um so let's
2:52
just maximize how it works how it sounds
2:55
and how comfortable it is on your head
2:57
and bear Dynamics really knocked it out
2:59
of the park with this this one these are
3:01
right now my favorite headphones the
3:03
beay dynamic
3:05
dt1990 Pro now hold your breath because
3:10
they're
3:11
$599 so this is a $600 headphone and you
3:14
know what if you're used to things like
3:16
the Beats or the earbuds that came with
3:18
your phone or the little Samsung guys or
3:21
something this is a whole another world
3:23
I mean literally it's like going from
3:25
black and white to Technicolor this is
3:28
so much better sound reproduction it's
3:31
so much more just enjoyable to just lay
3:34
or sit and listen to what your music is
3:37
whether it's hip hop or rap or classical
3:40
or Jazz this is going to do an amazing
3:43
job so the Bayer Dynamic dt1990 Pro you
3:48
