The words that audiophiles use to describe sound always confuses me lol. “The 1408’s sound much more chocolatey on the highs, but they’re still a little salty. But in the mids is where you get the real meat. We’re talking beef, venison. No chicken. Lows are fantastic, just as on the other 14 series. Very deep, dark, and hit you like a Mack truck.”
It's kind of funny how he describes it. But Joshua Valour is better at explaining things, but still so confusing.
To be honest, professional audiophiles talk like they're just talking to other professional audiophiles. And all of those newcomers for this, they'll be confused what these CZcamsrs audiophiles are saying HAHAHA.
That's why I like Zeos. Many consider him a rambly moron but somehere in his reviews there's always something useful for me to take away from them. Joshua Valour and DMS and others may objectively be better but I find Zeos' reviews more useful.
lmao
I prefer my Headphone mids to give me a little Chicken flavor... but like Chicken without the Skin because it's healthier! Now that's a tasty HP Sound Signature!!
That's because it's largely subjective so they create their own vocab to make their personal impressions sound more objective / scientific.
always love how in depth you go for reviews, you hit everything an audiophile or producer would care about in headphones that alot of other reviews ive seen miss
Oh this is one I've been waiting on. I've had a few Beyers over the years and was looking at the 700 to complement my Grado.
Thanks for covering these. It is looking more and more likely that I'll finally be upgrading my old 770 Pro 80. I'm still holding out for more opinions, but that 700 is really looking promising for a better closed back that won't make me shy away due to the price. Props for the TYGR mention too!
Did you buy the 700 ? If so do you like them ?
Excellent review man I'm glad a somewhat bigger channel like yours actually has some understanding of the audio hobby and goes into more depth than others who just say "sound is pretty good to me".
Its because Josh Valour and DMS would roast me endlessly if I did that lol
@@badseedtech lol hilarious they keep you on your toes and make you better
8:38 As a GoT nerd, I genuinely LOL'd. Great video as always Brian!
That makes it all worthwhile fr
@@badseedtech I play a lot of csgo and my house not that quite either so would you recommend dt 700 pro x for hearing foot steps and or would you say hearing foots steps would be better on 990 pro x ? What would you recommend
@@badseedtech pretty much would you say 700 pro x for hearing foot steps would be better or dt 770 pro or dt 900 pro x or dt 990 pro
@@badseedtech do you by any chance have the dimensions of the ear pads kind of looking to replace the ear pads on dt 900 pro x they are very comfortable but they get really hot lol any suggestions?
Nice, cannot wait for the prices for AUS. I have been on the fence between price, models, work/gaming/entertainment, and looking into closed backs for isolation and in case office use.
Really appreciate how you go into the finer details and look for covering all questions or thoughts we might have.
This has made the decision on which Beyerdynamic headphones to get much simpler, ending countless predicaments.
Love your content and looking forward to more Brian!
I am SO hyped for these. I was planning on picking up a pair of 900 pros well in advance of this review, but it is always nice to see coverage on stuff I'm looking at. Once the funds allow, those babys are MINE.
dont rush for the new stuff, lets wait till some group of people really tried that out
A year later and for the same money I managed to snag a pair of HD600s a set that the Pro X is constantly found slightly worse than.
Honestly there's nothing Beyhers does better than the 990 pro 250ohm for an all rounder and for specifics your just better off with other brands unless you have a thing for extra trebel on an otherwise unremarkable set.
@@GuitarSlayer136 HD600 sound the most interesting to me out of entire Senn lineup and I have really dug deep and done my research. I have DT 770 Pro 80 ohm and Edition XS. Tried 560S and K371 also plus several wireless gaming. Honestly, the DT 770 pro 80 ohm is great but does require amplification to sound its best. It's not night and day though. One of the mid-tier interfaces will drive these to near max capacity. I'm most curious about the 1990's.
The 900X seems too good to be true : 45 ohm, open design, removable cable, sick design... That 4K edit was smoooooooooooooth and I really liked your attention to lightning in the edit. Excellent job !
EDIT: I must add I truly appreciated the way you tried different approach to compare both headphones between them, with their higher versions and with the competitors. It brings so many answers.
It kinda sucks for normal music listening. Very flat, and the highs are unbearable at high volumes.
Dunno why he recommended these to normal people, it's designed for pro work, not for music listening. Could work for gaming, but any headphones work for gaming tbh. Just get cheaper ones.
are the Dt 770’s good for gaming and music listening? Could you also hear footsteps clearly and bomb explosions. (80 ohm version) would i need an amp for it or no. Plugged into my laptop.
@@shoobror8291
The trick is to increase the bass with EQ Settings and use you're DAC's high gain. Just make sure the volume dial isn't cranked or you'll blow your ears out. :P
@@paradoxic1888
I'm actually getting rid of my 900 Pro X's and upgrading to the 1990's, simply because the 900's(and 700's) suffer from a veil-like filtered effect that's masking the clarity or audio. This isn't the case with the DT770(250) and 1990's. they sound crystal clear. Sure, the 900's may offer a bit more soundstage, and are a little more open, spacious, warmer and a tinge fuller since they are technically semi-open back Vs closed, but it all becomes irrelevant to me because of that slight clarity masking veil-effect. Maybe there's a way to improve this with EQ settings?
Ultimately, i think it's a toss up between the 770(250) & 900's. With the 1990's, they're even more open than the 900's, but with that crystal clear sound, stronger vocals and then some vs the DT770's. I'll take 8k treble spike. Balance pads plus proper EQ settings should mitigate the effect at least
@@shoobror8291 yeah you probably didn't buy them and only read reviews, I got them and they are excellent for music listening, the best headphones I've ever head and they are also built like a tank with premium materials, for 250$ I think they are a steal, these should easily cost 500$+,
I have been using closed back for several years and recently switched to open back with the PC38x. It is like a more natural surround sound.
The 700 pro might be might be my next closed back cans. Thanks badseed your vids are awesome
The second you called out a specific frequency hot spot and that you EQ'd it out, I was like, SUB! Great to see a youtuber like you that actually knows detail, and provides real information that we need!!
Great breakdown...and reinforcing my confidence in previous purchases.
Have my bases covered with the TYGR and 177X.
Hey there,
After some time, did you think it was worth it to have a closed back good headphone next to the TYGRs?
Sometimes, I think about it, but then don't pull the trigger on the DT770 80 Ohm's
Brian, just the comprehensive review of their line I needed. Thanks again for another great video. Wish you uploaded every day. Have a great weekend.
I was looking forward to a review on these. Thanks for the video!
Really appreciate your breakdown for the 700 vs. 900 - I'm not looking for sound isolation and was about to buy the 700 aha. Thanks a bunch :)
Just picked up the DT 900 pro x based on your video. First pair of Beyerdynamics and I am in love. Been going through my music library just listening and I am just super happy with the experience. Keep up the great work my friend.
How are they holding up bro?
@@mkapp8724 I honestly got rid of them after a couple months. Not because they didn't sound good, but with my glasses, I could never get them to be as comfortable as my other pair of shp 9500.
@@mkapp8724 this may be late, but they were fine. i actually ended up selling them because I was having issues with fit and my glasses (giving me a headache) They held up on a day to day basis though without issue
This review is perfect! Literally answered everything I needed to know in order to make a decision on this purchase.
Dude, I've been researching headphones and ended up on your channel. I love the reviews and the vibe...already subscribed!
Man. I just love your edits. Teach me oh wise one!
Watched this while wearing my 900 Pro X. Completely agree. I wasn't expecting them to be as versatile as they are. Just for fun, try them out with the iFi ZenDac with XBass activated if you haven't already. Blew me away!
XBass: When you like it thicc
@@JeradBenge My man!😎
Hey, what is xbass?
@@NOOBEYTUBEY It's a setting on the iFi Zen DAC that provides improved bass response along with a warmer overall sound.
I'm definitely about to lol. Isn't it weird how on some tracks they don't really thump, then you load up a different track and the 808s go crazy? Thought I was losing my mind doing the comparisons. Kept having to check what headphone I was actually wearing lmao
Amaaaaazing info bro. Thanks for the deep dive comparison between all the options from bayerD
Im waiting your DT900 pro X review! THanks Brian!
I'm not sure why, but that smile with the intro just made my day. You earned a sub for that.
I always enjoy your reviews. Please keep doing what you're doing it's very helpful. Old video now but excellent
Answered every question I had about these headphones and the old series great review thank you!
Just picked up the 700 proX. Only been using them for a few days but they've massively improved my experience mixing and EQ'ing in Studio One. And going over all of my chosen reference tracks is eye opening. Also, reviewing my previously written music is now highlighting mistakes I made and didn't even realise. All part of the learning curve I guess. But these new 700 ProX are exactly what I was looking for, and for me, the isolation is a must. So these hit the brief perfectly. Loving them. Great review, I can confirm pretty much everything you described regarding the 700s. 👍
just got mine, previously i used 770, now that i tried the 700, it feels like the 700 lacks mid and high range, or it's just maybe i have to get used to 700 now that i was used to use 770. Rock and Country songs sound so good tho with 700. But my mixes sound better on 770. Just need to try produce and mix with the 700 and test on speaker i guess
@@armanrozikahow your 700pro x now?
@@cffnn wondering the same thing
@@CrysisVN I bought this, so sound is not wonderful for me, but very good
P.S. It can be discomfortable in first few days
@@cffnn what do you mean not wonderful? And uncomfortable? Im curious :D
I've had the tygr 300r for almost a year now and can say that it's the jack of all trades of headphones. Easy to use, doesn't need any eq. I would recommend these because they perform well enough in everything and zero discomfort even after 10+ hours of having them on your head. 150€ for these is a steal.
fr i have 2 now planning to buy a backup 3rd one lol
are they good for fps games ?
Yeah they are, but which budget do you have? Bass is a bit lacking. That's why ill probably get the DT770 80 Ohm as well I think@@filbgyibcfyjechik3612
Exactly what i was looking for as always, badseed can read my mind i swear
I just bought a pair of the 770 pro 80 ohms for $130 on Newegg. I can't wait for them to arrive. Mainly gonna be using them for ASMR content creation and video editing/mixing. Thanks so much for the awesome content!
They'll work great for that. They'll work great for that.
I ordered a set of the DT-900's for myself as a treat and boy, do these things go off! I have never heard such clarity before and honestly has changed everything for me. I paired these with a Fosi DAC Q4 and they sound amazing. Would love to get a Schiit stack to power these in the future. Thanks Brain for the awesome review.
would you say it is worth getting a dac/amp for the 900s? I know it isnt required based on the stats, but why spend $300 on something and not get the most out of them? btw i was looking at ifi zen dac v2 ifff its worth it.
Its not worth it. Amps and dacs dont make a difference if your source can bring them to appropriate volume..
@@christianoberreiter5011 I actually ended up pulling the trigger on the zen, I must admit that for music listening the bass boost on the zen DAC gave it the punch it was missing. As far as how loud the headphones are. It was just fine when plugged straight to my mobo. Personally i think it's worth it if you have the money, however I can only speak on this combo of 🎧 and amp/DAC.
Sure a bass boost function is another story the point i was trying to make is that amps and dacs in general should and do not alter the sound. Except for something like a bass boost function glad you like it i have dt 700pros myself
@@christianoberreiter5011 Can agree with you I just bought a $300 Schiit stack and the difference is so minimal over my $40 UMC22 Behringer it's hard to recommend. They can drive a lot higher, yes, and sound is a bit more interesting and playful/dynamic, yes... but when I A-B test them it's so close that I wish I saved the money and just bought a lower impedance headset like 300R and ran on my UMC22. This way I keep my direct mic monitoring and save several hundred dollars and don't have cables all over my desk.
Im enjoying the tygr 300 with the SDAC+LCX for gaming. Good enough sound stage, still not as huge as the AKG Q701 (still my favorite) but Im gna go for the HD8XX for my end game.
Loving my DT990 Pro coupled with a Komplete Audio 1. Thanks for the review!
Thanks a lot sir, this review really helped me make a choice.
ive had a pair of 990 pro limited edition 80ohm's for over a year now. by far my favorite headphones ive ever used for gaming on the pc. paired with my schitt stack they sound awesome!
Great detailed explanation thanks.
Had my 990s for a few years, love them.
Fantastic product review. Appreciate your "matter of fact", straight forward approach to the DT700 / 900 PRO X series. Wanted to upgrade from my Sennheiser's, both in closed and open
back models. Hadn't experienced Beyerdynamic's before so I purchased "both" of these to assess which is best for my voice over production needs. WOW. Amazed with what I had been missing out on with this manufacturer. You were absolutely, 100% correct in your review and evaluations. The DT 700 PRO is extremely precise in it's closed back, highly detailed field and is wonderful for vocal recording and tracking. The DT 900 PRO is "exactly the same" in sound quality, but feels like you just entered an amphitheater concert staging area with it's detailed, open wide sound stage. Amazing. As a result, keeping "both" for different applications. These Beyerdynamic audio headphones are incredible in build and sound quality applications. More comfortable and better performing than the of my Sennheiser's.
Thank you for your straight forward, honest evaluation. I certainly thought about purchasing the 1990's, but your honest evaluations let me know I am good with my purchase decision. Likewise, if anyone reviewing my comments has to make a purchase decision on either the DT700 or the DT900, get the DT900. You will never want to take them off your head. The open
back sound stage is not too loose or "crazy open" to where you cannot get the job done with your recording needs. The DT700's are truly a audiophile recording and tracking work horse.
Looking forward to more of your reviews. Thanks again. Subscribed + "All"
I got the 1900 and returned them. The highs were to sharp for me and EQ couldnt handle it in different situations. The soundstage was a real disappointment für me. It wasnt really wide and when listening to orchestral music i wasnt able to seperate a lot of instruments. Thats why i chose to return them and keep on listening on my AKG K712 Pros.
Maybe i will be giving the 900 Pro X a chance but i dont think they will have a good wide soundstage
Your thoughts were helpful here, thank you! I am considering one of these for podcasting and gaming mostly, and I’ve never tried an open back style so I was considering the 900s.
@@ChristopherConnors i really wouldnt recommend these Headphones for Gaming, they dont have a wide soundstage. If you are playing shooters you will run into problems really identifying where the enemies exactly are. Go with something more open like the Audio Technica ATH-R7X, they have a good soundstage and a pleasing sound
I've tested multiple HD 5XX and HD6XX series of Sennheiser and i found had the DT 700 / 900 Pro really fills the gap between de HD 5XX and HD6XX series. I find the DT's compared to the HD6XX abit more closer in your face / head but lacks mid range compared to Sennheiser. Trebble is abit more harsh then the HD Series but not to much. The base has abit more punch. Soundstage of the 900 is better then my HD660S which says allot. Still my HD 660S has a higher fidelity. I think i gonna keep the DT 700 because its has its own signature compared to the HD 660S and because its closed back which i don't have yet. I also play instruments and the DT 700 is very nice as a monitor headphone and it will be my main daily driver. I had the HD 515 Sennheiser (which i still like very much, but the velour is totally gone)
@@machmutdoener I had the same experience with the 990 Pro's, The 900 Pro X is totally different, smoother highs / trebble. Still BT's are sharper / brighter then the Sennheiser HD 5XX / 6XX series. Soundstaging of the Sennheiser's are better but Sound imaging from the BT's X series are more clear and less muddy (compared with my Sennheiser HD660S)
Great video my dude!
dope review as always brother
Appreciate that!
Awesome review!
Actually got a unit with the audio cut out issue on my 900 PRO X, stellar sound regardless. A replacement's already on its way but I found these to be much better than my Fidelios X2HR, hopefully the new unit will be ok with its cables as I really see myself daily driving these!
Hey, the Fidelios for me was better for fps games that 990 pro, but I'm to have to try this now😉
I got Beyerdynamic MMX 300 with a studio level mic and great headphone overall. worth the money! planning to try the DT 770 but I think it's gonna have the same sound
I managed to score the DT990 250ohm here in Australia on a sale for about $100USD and the supplier got new stock which have a had a price increase. Happy I got mine when I did on sale 🥰🥰👍🥳. Very happy with the audio quality and highs are more then tolerable for me 👍. Great review Review Brian 🥰.
You’re a legend bud. Great review.
Man those are such nice looking headphones. Definitely going on my Christmas list.
Great review. I bought the 770 Pro 80 Ohms about 3 weeks ago thinking that Beyer would probably never update them and the 990 Pro. And then BOOM - they come up with the new 700 and 900 Pro X models. Ugh!
I love my 770s. I love the sub-bass presence when it's in the music and the hint of it when it's not in the music. And I also happen to like that peaky treble as it adds space and clarity. Personally, I think that treble will only be a problem if you listen to music at ear-deafening volumes. But at lower to moderately loud volumes, it's no problem at all. Just my opinion, of course.
Anyway, I love my 770 Pro 80 Ohms but now I'm wanting to upgrade to the 700s. But do I need to? And now, I'm thinking maybe the 900s might be good too. I use them only to listen to music. I guess I'll figure it out.
Thanks for the review! 👍🏽
Wanted to get a new pair of headsets and had a bit of cash to drop, thanks for the help bro I was genuinely confused considering I'm quite new to the technicalities of headphones. Much love!
Sweet always wanted to try open back without breaking the bank. These are definitely a contender!
Decided to get the DT 900 Pro X, thanks for this review.
I recommend to try and EQ these a little, there are some Harman EQ Targets around. People should try them out with these as they add in the bass boost some might be missing from these without any EQ applied. It also tames some treble&cymbals being harsh, just adjust to preference if the stock EQ isn't to taste in all aspects.
Loving the tygr 300 r. Amazing cans for 170 usd.
Awesome review! I own the 770, 990, hd560s and now the 900 pro x. I agree completely with every point you made! I love the 900 pro x for gaming, amazing imaging and the perfect amount of soundstage. Thanks for always dishing out the heat reviews!
I have hd560s as well. Do you think 900pro X is better overall, gaming etc?
Just returned my 560s to buy these and try them out myself. Would love to know as well. I play all FPS's like warzone(shitty audio) apex, valorant, Fottnite.
@@Zalsting Let us know what you think! I'm in a similar boat just haven't returned my HD560s' yet.
You guys can watch Fresh Review's video on 900 PRO X, he compares them to HD 560 S. He solely focuses on competitive FPS performance.
@@zahitemremetin606 yes and I've have watched already but it's always good to know about others people opinion. Sorry about my English..
Great video, the TYGR is def a hidden gem. It's my daily driver even if it's not as detailed or technical as my Sundara. With a small amount of EQ, the TYGR is really great for Music as well.
I really start to feel that you are a frank and honest guy. Our goal is to get the most out of the money we spend. We have the same taste on spending money.
I've been waiting for this video
Thank you for s great review! I like the soft earpads and the detachable cable on the 700/900 Pro X, but I'm concerned about the clamping force.
I can concur, bought one after this review. Cable hitting my should is annoying but getting use to it.
Heads up, that while Beyerdynamic's website still states 24-48h shipping for the 700 Pro X in the US, they are currently on a 4-6 week backorder per my inquiry into support. It's been 2.5 weeks since I placed my order.
Bought the 900 pro x today a few hours before watching the video, waiting for them to arrive, planning to use them at work during breaks while my coworker sits 2m away from me, i am pretty confident that it wont bother coworkers as i tend to watch things on the lowest or second lowest possible volume setting.
Wow that is a lot of fantastic B roll! Well done.
Thanks so much!
Amazing review, amazing beard. Need I say more
Wait you spoke about the TYGR in relation to the older Beyer models, but you didn't compare them to the DT900... I was so happy to see that the comparison was going to be made between the 2 headphones I'm trying to decide between, and then it didn't happen for some reason lol.
So far I think I'll be going with the TYGRs.
Loved the vid! 🔥 Which one would be less likely to make tinnitus worse - DT 900 Pro X or TYGR 300 R? What do head-fiers who suffer from tinnitus demand in headphones from a technical standpoint (low/high treble, neutral vs warmer, strong highs, etc..)?
Love the shirt!
October appropriate attention to detail..nice.
I have the tygr 300r and can confirm they are a fantastic headphone. Imaging is pin point and seperation and clarity are great. Not my favourite music headphone but by far my best gaming headphone. Highly recommend them to anybody looking for a gaming headphone that also does a good job in music, but eq the low end up a bit and dont be afraid to feed them a little power when listening to music.
Which are your favourite music headphones
They have low end, since they're not "flat"/"neutral", but if you like your bass then that makes sense, since it's not an aggressive V sound signature.
Sooo glad I sent DT990 pros back and got HD560s instead.soo much better and comfortable.Great video as usual
I love the DT1990 Pro's, been using them stock for over a year and sold my HD 58x and Sundaras.
How's the Sundara for gaming compared to the beyers? Some said the imaging is kinda iffy for gaming, is that true?
Hey Brian you should get a unit of the Yamaha YHE-700a really under the radar and I think it'll pique a lot of people's interests for music listening.
Great video. Will check out that nebula , things are getting to centralized over here.. the open backs are temping.. but i think u just need to be in the right environment..
As always great review man! You recommend the dt900pro x or turtle beach stealth pro for gaming( for footsteps, fps games)?
Can’t decide myself.😅
Thank you!
Had a 770 pair for near a year hooked into a Schiit amp. They're so clear I can hear everything in an audio's production; great bass response is a big plus. Picked them up after seeing your review and wanting to try somethig other than Sennheiser. Highly recommend.
Did you get the 80 ohm or 250 Ohm variant?
@@TF2ReplayMaker 80 Ohm.
@@willsi how's the clarity? I'm torn between getting a 250 Ohm one or 80 Ohm. If I get the former I'll probably need to get a proper DAC/AMP on top of my current ones to get the best out of them
@@TF2ReplayMaker Honestly, the 80 Ohms are stellar. The highs and mids are super clear. I use a digital EQ and run in a Schiit amp. No complaints here.

You can get a pair of Beyer's Amiron Homes for about $300 now. Same tesla driver as the 1990 and 1770. Open back, but the sub-bass actually extends really well. They chilled out the high end peak, but it's still kind of there. It's 250 ohm, so you need a decent setup to drive them, but you won't be disappointed. A Schitt stack is doing just fine for me.
I love it for gaming and listening to music.
Significant unit variation on the the DT 900. Somehow ended up with two of them. One is balanced, full bodied, and has bass that extends very well. The other one, is sterile, thin, and shrill.
burn in?
Perfect timing lol watchn the headphone playlist and this popped up 👍🏻
How do the 900s compare to something like a sundara? I got those last year and my one complaint about them is they are a little on the heavy side for me. I’ve also been looking for something that’s good for music and immersive single player gaming and I’m sensitive to highs, so the 1990 pro scares me off. Great video as always!
Love your content.. I am planning to buy the Dt 900 pro x, primarily for competitive gaming(warzone, Valorant) , I am aware it only requires 40 ohms, in that case do I still need a DAC amp for better sound quality ?
How would you compare the DT 900 and the TYGR 300 R for your preferences for a balanced usage of gaming, music and video production?
Great video as always, if you ever want to try the sennheiser hd 700 or Audeze lcd xc 2021 Let me know.
Another absolute banger.
Great review! New subscriber.
Great vid. One question Tygr or dt 900 pro x for gaming, cutting and music?
I’ll be using the 900s to listen to vinyl thnx man
Very good Video. Thank you. I really trust your opinions. 👍
I love the AD900x for gaming and the Custom Studio for music with some EQ
Both solid choices. Custom Studio is sick - always wanted a set.
Thanks for the Review Brian. I'm curious how they'd sound when playing tarkov or hunt showdown. does anyone know if it really makes a difference for games that require sound ques? Would a normal gaming headset suffice? I'm new to high end headphones! Just to add I also use my airpods for work but would consider over-ear headphones for that as well!
Great review, love Beyerdynamic!
What eq do you use & do you have any recommendations for eq on pc?
I use Peace APO and only occasionally and sparingly.
writing before finishing the video...my dt1990 are my lifeblood. i've never been able to find something i like better. lets see how this goes!
did you buy the 900 pro-X? is the difference that big to justify extra $$$ for 1990?
@@aki-001 i bought the 900 proX since this, and unless you’re specifically looking for a 250 ohm headphone, go with the 900 proX! especially for gaming, the proX is a no brainer. 1990s are a little smoother, but the proX has a little more detail in the mids and i think a wider soundstage because the ear cups are less obstructed. the 1990 DOES sound a little better. like 7-10%, but you really need to be doing A/B comparisons and looking for that difference.
Bought the 900 Pro X. Waited over a month for back orders to ship out to Canada. Just received them and they are amazing. Definitely need an amp though, unfortunately.
Is the 770, 990 or tygr still good for gaming in 2022? if yes wich should I go for? love the vid man as always!
The sharp top end of the 990 is caused by the pads. I switched to perforated leather. All pad swaps kill the treble spikes.
I was a big fan of AKG products, and had a pair of AKG K702's which I loved, but always found lacking in the bass department, but I decided to try out the 900 pro x, and I have to say I'm loving these headphones. Good bass, and mids. Even has sub-bass. The highs are more detailed on the k702's, but that might be fixed with a break in period and some adjustments. The sub-bass on the 702's is almost non-existent, and the bass was always lacking. I was shocked how good the 900x's sound out of the box. I'm keeping these. They're amazing.
How are they holding up? Im really considering buying them
@@mkapp8724 They're doing great. Despite the 45 Ohms a little extra power definitely helps. I have the Zen Dac V2 and I keep it on "power match" which helps round out the sound even though I have to keep the volume low, or I'll blow my ears out.
Bought 1990 like almost year ago based on your review
I have a tygr 300r professionally modded to have a detachable cable and a mmx300. I use the tygr to hear music at work and the mmx300 to game. Use them with sound blaster g6 without filters.
That's a big brain move.
@@badseedtech I've seen a video on CZcams on how to do It, It's pretty easy, I'm sure you could do it with your amazing switch soldering skills. :D
I am listen to music alot, I really like detailed music but with good bass as well. So wich ones would be better, 700 PRO X or 770 PRO ? I dont think I would like 900 series cus the open back might not really work well with bass, or is it in this case ? Great review btw !
Awesome video as always! Between Sundara and this 900 ( I can find them in the same price point in my area), what would be better for overall (home only) use, that will include watching movies, playing fps games, listening to flac/streaming hq music. Unfortunately, stores in my area doesn't allow me to test/demo them. I'm looking for my first open back headphones so I have been reading/watching reviews and came down to these 3 based on prices in my area: Sundara, hd650, or 900 pro x.
After trying Sundara, 560s, Tygr 300R, HD6xx, HD650, Game One, HD58X, Philips X2HR and X3, definitely DT 900 Pro X are most versatile and best e-sport headphones.
After that 2nd comes Tygr 300R and Philips X3, 3rd comes 560s, those 4 mentioned have wall-hack level of directional audio in e-sport FPS games.
With DT 900 Pro X and Tygr 300R being the best while also being most versatile out of the bunch, despite being analytical also being entertaining, just not falling totally flat like 560s and Philips X3.
The Tygr 300R will go to my little sister as I got them at a good discount anyway.
I will be selling my 560S, as for mid presentation already own HD650 and Sundara and Philips X3 have at least a lot wider soundstage and are more detailed than 560s so will keep those.
If I would be mastering audio then I would had kept 560s, but for that would prefer speakers anyway or would just get something closed back like 700ProX or Grado.
I completely agree with Badseed's opinion of the 880, which is how he ended up with my pair. The 880 was completely meh. Im also more a fan of the Pro models with high clamping vs the premiums with more articulation.
Are u planning on doing a review of the EPOS H6pro? And would u choose H6pro or the DT 700/900 Pro X?
Good Vid. I own both the 900 pro x and 1990 pro and I prefer the 900 pro x. It's cheaper, more neutral and more versatile.
Do you still feel this way a year later? I want 1990's ... real bad. Thinking about sending back Edition XS to get them.
Hey Badseed, how do these (900) generally compare with something like the Audeze Penrose?
