A casual chat giving my first impressions of the Beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X. Cut out a lot more waffle this time as to not repeat too much from 700 Pro X video. This was recorded straight after the 700 Pro X video and I've used them a lot more since then. I really like these, out of the box tuning subjectively much better than DT 1990 Pro, much less bright, excellent detail. The biggest competition is the HD 560S which I really like, not sure atm which I prefer.

I really liked your videos and I hope you continue doing these review videos!

Love your desks!

as someone who owns the dt990 pro 250 ohms and recently picked up the 990 pro X and i personally think they sound excellent i tested them with gaming (escape from tarkov and ready or not specifically and they picked out the footsteps and audio q's flawlessly) i listened to some music and they did great i recorded a jazz solo on my trombone and listened back to it and it was great sounding i have 0 bad things to say about these love from sweden

As someone who owns the 990 pro, seems like they really tried to tackle the shortcomings of the 990 pros. I love the detached cable. I've always felt like the 990 pros could use some more bass (leather earpads help in that regard) and that the original ear pads were quite shallow.

Hi, thanks for the review! I'm trying to decide between the DT 900 Pro X and DT 1990 Pro. Impedance is a problem for me, just looking for the best sound quality and flat response. I'll appreciate your opinion and recommendation. Thanks again!

It would be nice to have a higher impedance option (like for the DT 770/880/990). People who've already made the investment on a good amp or amp/DAC might not wish to invest money on such sensitive headphones. Additionally, the max. input power of these is 30 mW... that is nothing considering how much power a good headphone amp can inject; the DT 1990 Pro and the AKG K712 Pro are both less sensitive (offer more resistance) and have a max. input power = 200 mW. This means it is quite easy to damage the 700 or 900 "Pro" X with a headphone amplifier... correct me if I'm wrong.

@Wheezy Tech Thnaks for the review just wondering which headphone amp you'd recommend with this headset.

Thanks for this review, you really speak in terms that make sense to me (unlike some other YT headphone reviewers). I am a big fan of beyerdynamic (currently owning DT1990 & 770 250Ω). I want to buy closed back over ears for mobile use (iPod paired with portable DAC/ amp), I don't think I would like the AKGs you recommend because I am not a fan of the Harmon curve, I like unequalised beyerdynamic tuning because it is effectively a built-in loudness contour (keeps the tinnitus at bay). My 250Ω 770s are too hard to drive and the coiled cable awkward in that situation. Do you have any advice on 32Ω 770 Vs 700 (or maybe 80Ω 770 with cable mod)? Have you heard 32Ω 770?

Your tests are nice. Where are you now? Still uploading?

Hello. I would like to ask if you would recommend them for playing bass through Focusrite Scarlett Solo at home. So far, I was not using studio headphones, but simply the Bose QC25, and I was quite satisfied with the sound.

Hi, been looking forward to hearing your impressions. Thank you and now looking forward to your more detailed review. I've had my 900's for about a week now and have spent a lot of time comparing to my 990's (250 and 600 ohm). In short, I find the 900's significantly less bright and less V shaped. The overall bass quantity is about the same, but the 900's don't seem to roll off as much and go deeper...also more definition. I find that the 990's increased treble and scooped mids helps poorer recordings sound good, but with tracks that are produced nicely the 900's do really shine. I do suggest you play around with positioning, though, as this does have quite an impact on tonality. Initially I found the mids a little too forward and hard at times. But then I moved the cups just slightly further back and as I did this the treble became more focused and the mids dropped a little. I personally wish Beyer hadn't reduced the highs quite so much, as many tracks have lost that crispness and sparkle that I enjoy, even if it might have been somewhat artificial. However, it seems that the aims with the 900 included addressing some of the biggest criticisms of the 990 (Beyer peak, too scooped, bass roll off) and therefore I'd wager it will be generally well received. It really does sound substantially different to the Beyer sound that I'm used to....the 990's and 770's sound much closer than the 990's and 900's do. Agree with you regarding the build quality - really nice. I do think the 990 and 770 pads are comfier though....more like cushions, however the 900 ones are still up there with the best.

Hey I've got big ears like you, do you find them comfortable? I've been using Sennheiser HD 598 for years and the oval shape has been nice, although they're right on the edge of being too small for fully around-ear fit.. what do you think of these aside from clamping force?

Hey man, I remember you talking about an ear infection a while ago. I have blocked eustachian tubes due to hayfever which started a month ago. I have crazy tinnitus and can hear my heart beating in my ears. Did you also notice this and did it go away after the infection cleared out?

Hey Wheezy where are you???

You made a really good analogy about the 700/900 Pros being a reboot of the original 770/990 Pros. I bought the 80 Ohm versions of the 770s about a few weeks ago and I really enjoy them quite a bit but I don’t want to step up to the 700s or even the 900s if they are vastly different. I might just keep the 770s for awhile but if the 700s give me the same sonic signature as the 770s but “better”, I might have to update them. Yeah I know, first world problems. 🙂

Where’s Noel gone?

Are these an upgrade from Dt 990 Pro 250 OHM? I am looking for something that can handle more power, the 990 pro's 250 OHM only go to 50% volume before they are done.

Just wondering, do you find that the 900 Pro X's leak a little less sound than the 1990 Pro's?

would also love to see a comparison to the tygrs

hello, what changes between the HiFiMan he400i and the he400i 2020? the differences...

Hello ^^ for playing games and listen to Spotify on my computer, which one would be the best with no amplifier or external sound card between the new ones, the tygr or the 770 pro 32 ohms ? Thx !

Okay, I've just received a pair of TYGR 300R's and taken a very quick initial listen. Immediate observations are that the TYGR sounds much closer to the 990 Pro than to the 900 pro X. Both TYGR and 990 Pro are very clearly V shaped, whereas the 900 Pro X is not (or if it is then it is much less) and they have a similar treble presentation, of a different character to that of the 900 Pro X. So, what I mean here is that, to me, both TYGR and 990 Pro seem to present a much more 'sparkly' treble character, whereas with the 900 Pro X the treble I notice most is more steely/metallic in nature, though is by no means excessive. I 'think' both the 990 Pro and TYGR emphasise the treble that is higher up in the frequency range (maybe 10k+...a bit of a guess), whereas the 900 Pro x has more most of its treble energy slightly below that. Turning to quantity instead of quality, the 990 Pro is way brighter than the TYGR. EDIT: Listened some more now and the difference is closer....I'd now say that the 990 Pro is slightly brighter. Early days, but I think me and the TYGR are going to get along well. Regarding TYGR vs 900 Pro X, I am finding it difficult to judge because I'm trying to compare a different range/style of treble (if that doesn't sound confusing!) and then the mids are also really different, too. I'm currently thinking the TYGR is brighter overall than the 900 Pro X, but the latter does have quite an incisive metallic crispness that cuts through every now and again.....just generally I hear something more mids focused. The treble presentation of the TYGR really pushes stuff like cymbals quite forward, so can sound a bit 'sizzly' though nowhere near as much as the 990 Pro. I've not really tried to actively dissect bass yet, though I think the 900 Pro X does this area excellently (compared to the other open back headphones I have heard), clearly having better extension and a definition than the 990 Pro and I would guess than the TYGR too. @Noel - looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts on TYGR vs 900 Pro X, as I think you said you had both. Which is brighter might come down, to an extent, to what specific frequencies people are more sensitive to, if that actually is a thing! Guess, for me, the long and short of it is that the treble sounds different, but as to which has the most, I'm not sure.

Thanks for your first impressions! Can wait for a full review. So basically... according to other reviews 770s are still kings and 900X are better than 990s. Leave a comment if you agree or disagree. Peace ✌.

To be honest, if I'm using EQ to achieve Harman target, does it really matter about the individual headphones as much? I have DT770 80 ohm, HD58x, Hifiman HE-X4 and they definitely sound different, but I can't tell if I'm doing them a disservice by EQing everything like that. I'd love to try these out, but I feel like I'd be wasting my money if the difference is extremely subtle.

Shure 1840 v br dinamics 900 X pro ?

hi i looking for open back headphones for laptop with out amplifier , under usd 300. i use multi type music movie gaming The sound I like is mainly to be clear and have bass, but the bass should not be too heavy, because too heavy bass will cause the sound to be distorted, and it is not good if there is no bass. which one you recommend? senheiser, beyer , hifiman , philips, AKG ? and what model ? thanks

Sorry its a bit irrelevant with the video, but would u recommend ath m40x or akg k371 for a warm sound with just a bit of bass. Ty in advance!!!

Should I change my 990 pros vor these ?

As someone used high end studio monitors, should I go with the 900 pro x or the 1990 pros? I see the 1990s on sale right now but maybe they will be coming out with a better 1990 soon?

Review without listen them enough ?

hey mate please add in some timestamps for future videos

Anyone else going back and watching wheezy vids after the nothing video?

It was a review of headphones and he didn't put them on his head once!!
