beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO MKII Premium Tesla Studio Headphones for Mixing, Mastering and Editing (Open)

Exceptional headphones. Plenty loud without an amplifier on a laptop or desktop. Fabulous quality and clarity. I am no sound engineer but if these get lost I will be buying more.

This one is better than original, sound is fuller more dynamic. Separation is better, soundstage is better. Better fitting too I have both these and original these are best headphones for crystal clear sound. I tried 10 other headphones from 2k price to 200 dollars and 1990 tops them all.

Like your same old best friend who has lost a little weight since you saw him last.The MKI's magic is all here, but with much less harmonic distortion.

Fantastic headphones. Very comfortable. Great for both music and gaming. Low impedance so you wont need an external amp to drive them. Overall, steep price but very happy with purchase.

These are my favorite headphones so far because the bass feels nice when you EQE it properly.

So right from the start, these not inexpensive headphones. But are they worth the cost? If you intentions are to use these for mixing and mastering I'll say they are the best headphones I had heard. But they are not for every type of use. I have many pairs of headphones because I do a of of recording and mixing/mastering. Even with these headphones, which are great at mixing, I still use my "go to" headphones during actual recording. I play a lot of bass, and there's I only one headphone I use for that.These are 30 ohm headphones and cant handle the high bass volumes I use. Don't mistake that to mean they aren't fantastic headphones. They are . When mixing or mastering you need to have everything in balance. Buy while recording, especially bass guitar, It's is a LOT louder when monitoring the the instrument than you would normally have in the final mix. So, if you want to use them for mixing, 100% get them. I use them along with using near field mixing monitor speaker. Using both gives you varying perspectives on the sound.As far as comfort goes, I have been getting very partial to the velour type ear pads. So I like that. They are comfortable, but feel a bit heavier then some other headphones.. They also include 2 sets of velour ear pad and 2 cables. One cable is coil type, the other is straight type. Both are very long length, which is great. One other thing is that the jack that plugs into the headphones are a proprietary type. It's not just an 1/8 or 1/4 inch jack. So be sure you have the right cable for these headphones when you go to use them and do not lose the cable! Bottom line are they worth the cost. If the best sounding mixing/mastering headphones are what you are looking for, then the answer is yes. Just keep in mind they are not for everything.
