Review: Malgré sa destination produit, ce casque est clairement plus orienté mixage / mastering que écoute passive Hi-Fi : on recherche une certaine neutralité, de l'homogénéité, du détail dans les textures et de la précision dans les attaques. 250ohm = ampli impératif : prudence le choix de l'ampli/préamp peut radicalement modifier le comportement et la couleur du casque. Ecoute : Excellente précision dans tout le spectre, peut-être un poil généreux dans le bas, quasiment pas de distorsion (merci le casque ouvert), le niveau de détail est tel qu'il ne pardonne effectivement pas les nettoyages faits à l'arrache. Cette précision, particulièrement au dessus de 7/8khz lui a valu beaucoup de critiques comme quoi il agressait littéralement les oreilles, alors que c'est justement son atout principal et fait de lui un outil redoutable une fois passé quelques heures de domestication. Ouverture stéréo bof, mais on s'en fout ce n'est pas un casque Hi-Fi que l'on recherche mais un outil de travail. Ecouter du mp3 est une véritable torture avec ce casque. Confort : Le confort légendaire des DT mais sans le pincement des arceaux des PRO qui peut être fatiguant à la longue. Les oreilles ne chauffent pas, on peut le porter des heures (des jours ?) durant. Finition : RAS c'est du BeyerDynamic, toutes les pièces sont interchangeables. Petit plus, il est fourni avec une housse de protection semi-rigide. Seul reproche, ce câble non torsadé très long destiné à une écoute domestique et fixé au casque sans connecteur (RAH).
Review: Gran calidad de sonido y muy comodos, esta última opción es la que me decantó por este modelo y no por el Pro, éstos no agarran tanto como los Pro y son más cómodos. Genial compra.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will everyones ears fit into these? I like Astro**
A: My family stood side-by-side, ear-to-ear so we could all listen, but the headphones were too small to Fit “everyone’s ears into these”...plus my daughters ears get pretty waxy so the sound quality playing out of her ear hole would have been muffled.

**Q: What is the difference between the 250 ohm and 32 ohm models?**
A: The Ohm is the unit of electrical impedance. It's a measure of how difficult it is for current to flow through the conductor. A conductor with a higher impedance will require a higher voltage to push an equivalent current level through it than one with a lower impedance. A 10-volt source can drive 40 milliamps (.04 amps) through a 250 Ohm impedance, but you only need a 1.5V battery to push 47 milliamps through a 32 ohm impedance. This is why 32 Ohm headphones are recommended for portable equipment (phones, etc), where low-voltage battery sources are common. 

A 600 Ohm headphone is more appropriate for studio work, where the amplifier driving them often uses +/- 15 volts (a 30 volt swing).  A 250 ohm headphone is one that attempts to bridge both worlds - low enough to be used with battery powered sources, but "stiff" enough (electrically) to take advantage of the benefits that a big voltage swing provides, such as a higher s/n ratio.

A lower impedance headphone (everything else being equal) does NOT require less power to use. In fact, it requires slightly more. But you do not want to use a 600 ohm set of headphones (in general) with a low-voltage amp such as one the one in your phone or laptop. Generally, they will not play as loudly, as they will require more current than the amplifier can provide into the higher impedance.

**Q: Do these headphones have a removable cable?**
A: I have the dt 990 pro 250 ohms, and no they do not have a removal cable.

**Q: Will these completely encase the ear? I can't stand headphones that put the cushion on the ear instead of around it completely, only touching the head**
A: As long as your head is not very large, it can wrap your ears. if you want choice 250Ω or 600Ω before you need Bought a Amp。

*by K***S on 10 July 2023*

Vorab, ich nutze einen älteren HI-FI Verstärker welcher via Lichtleiter am PC angeschlossen ist. Da ich kein Audiophiler Enthusiast bin musste ich erst einmal schlau machen. Nach einiger Recherche was die Ohm Angaben zu bedeuten haben. Ich habe mich dann für dieses Paar Kopfhörer mit 250 Ohm entschieden da mein Receiver ungefähr diesen Wert an der Kopfhörerbuchse leistet. Nun haben wir Sommer und ich bin begeistert von dem Tragekompfort an heißen Tagen und langen Sitzungen am PC. Die Kopfhörer sind sehr leicht und Dank der offenen Bauweise schwitzt man nicht wie das mit schweren, geschlossen Kopfhörern gerne der Fall ist. Der Sound ist super und man ist nicht ganz im Tunnel und hört schon mal das Telefon klingeln während man die Kopfhörer trägt. Dass bei der offenen Bauweise der Klang nach außen abgestrahlt wird ist für mich kein Problem. In meiner Mancave bin ich alleine und die Tür ist zu... Das einzige Manko für ist das Kabel. Zwar ausreichend lang, mit Adaptern für 6,3mm Klinke, aber leider nicht gesleevt. Schade, so würde ein noch wertigerer Eindruck durch verbesserte Haptik entstehen. Generell tut das aber dem super Sound nichts, gesleevt oder nicht. Klare Kaufempfehlung von mir für diesen "Klassiker".
