The German audio brand beyerdynamic.com has announced the launch of its latest pair of open-back headphones for critical listening and studio editing work. The beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO X offer advanced comfort levels and the kind of clarity that has made the headphone brand a firm favorite in studios and with broadcasters like the BBC.

The DT 990 PRO X dynamic headphones have an open-back design featuring a detachable cable, high comfort levels and beyerdynamic’s renowned STELLAR.45 driver system. The lower impedance rating of 48Ω makes for improved performance across a wider range of devices.

The original DT 990 PRO has been used in recording studios since way back in the 1980s. The headphones are known for their detailed sound, affordable price, good comfort levels and the kind of durability that’s essential for day-to-day use in the recording studio. In recent years, the DT 990 PRO has earned a following from musicians and producers, including the likes of Flume, Martin Garrix and Metro Boomin.

The new DT 990 PRO X headphones are for critical listening use such as editing and mixing. Thanks to an expansive soundstage, beyerdynamic claims these headphones will complement studio monitors by offering the kind of precision and clarity that helps audio professionals identify small sonic details or any errors in a mix.
