Designed for mixing and mastering and editing, the DT 990 Pro is a 250 Ohm professional, open-back studio headphone that provides spacious, powerful and transparent sound. I have owned a pair of Sennheiser HD-580 Precision headphones (they based on the original HD600, and use the same driver) for many years now, but having gone over from using Hi Fi separates, to computer based audio equipment, I have been longing for a slightly more powerful sound, something that has a little more impact and sparkle than my old HD-580s, which are a lovely sounding headphone.The wide stereo image and 3D sound reproduction make the DT 990 PRO a loyal companion for producers. The DT 990 has a strong fit which may effect the feelings on your head depending the hours but with both i can sit comfortable for more then 6 hours without any pain.

As I have found repeatedly, however wild the superlatives I encounter in the reviews the actual differences between the last and the latest model of a particular piece of hifi is more often than not a matter of nuance. Nice reference sound (I have personally EQ'd to be closer to Harman Target and it sounds beautiful) and pleasant at high volume. For me, the DT 990 had a slightly more detailed sound and better spatial accuracy, which was more important to me than the frequency spectrum.

Compared to the other headphones that I own I would say that the 990s are nearest in sound to the 880s.
