Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO X Open-Back Studio Headphones 48 Ohm

The Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO X is an open-back studio headphone engineered for critical listening, detailed editing and professional monitoring, equipped with a flexible 48-ohm STELLAR.45 driver delivering a wide frequency response from 5 Hz to 40,000 Hz.

A Modern Studio Classic

Beyerdynamic has a legacy of over a century in precision audio engineering. The DT 990 PRO X continues this tradition, combining iconic spatial sound with modern design enhancements. Handcrafted in Germany, it features a modular construction with replaceable parts, ensuring long-term reliability in studio environments.

Accurate, Transparent Sound for Production

The DT 990 PRO X refines the renowned sound signature of the DT 990 PRO. It introduces natural treble elevation and high transparency to expose even the most subtle acoustic flaws. Its open-back design produces an expansive soundstage ideal for analytical listening, editing and complementing nearfield studio monitors.

STELLAR.45 Driver Technology

Beyerdynamic’s proprietary STELLAR.45 driver provides uncompromised audio performance across a broad frequency range of 5 Hz to 40,000 Hz. Its low impedance of 48 ohms ensures compatibility with a wide variety of devices including interfaces, computers, and mobile recorders. Designed and built in Germany, this driver delivers high dynamic range, minimal distortion, and precise detail reproduction for professional applications.

Detachable Mini-XLR Cable

The DT 990 PRO X integrates a 3-metre detachable cable with a secure locking mini-XLR connector for maximum reliability during sessions. It includes a 3.5 mm stereo jack and a 6.3 mm adapter, providing broad connectivity across studio and high-end equipment without sacrificing signal integrity.

Enhanced Wearing Comfort

Beyerdynamic optimises comfort with soft velour ear pads, a flexible yet durable headband and a unique headband recess that alleviates pressure on the fontanelle area. The lightweight, breathable design reduces fatigue during long studio sessions, making the DT 990 PRO X suitable for extended professional use.

Engineered for Durability

Manufactured in Germany, the DT 990 PRO X incorporates high-grade metal components and a robust design tailored for demanding studio environments. Its modular construction with replaceable parts ensures longevity, making it a sustainable investment for production, mixing and editing.

Comparing to Other Models

While sharing the familiar sound character and spatial performance of the DT 990 PRO (80 ohms version), the DT 990 PRO X offers upgraded driver technology and greater device compatibility due to its lower impedance. Unlike the fixed-cable DT 990 PRO, the PRO X features a detachable cable system. Additionally, the DT 990 PRO X improves comfort with its revised headband design.

For an alternative linear and highly accurate frequency response suited to mixing and mastering, the DT 900 PRO X is recommended.
