Best headset Ever!

This is the most comfortable headset I've ever had i can wear it for such a long hours and never feel like i have it on, also the sound quality it's so great and accurate and thats without using any amp so i can't imagine how it would be with that also i would like to say the customer service was really Good and so the shipping was so quick i would rate this site 10 stars if i could!

Good for monitoring, but plastic disappointed

I have had these for a couple of years, they work great, very comfortable on ears physically and sound wise. The treble is a little high but nothing that gets in the way of mixing it right. The plastic that holds the ear pieces broke on both ends. I am extra careful with all my equipment, I have several other headsets for decades none of them broke, but this one did. So for me it's unusual to see it break, and for the company to make such a good quality monitoring headset with weak plastic. Anyways, looking for an alternate now or maybe will get another one. Not sure yet.

Highly recommended

I've had these for well over a year, and they're now my favorite headphones. I prefer these over my Sony MDR-7506 and Audio Technica ATH-M50x headphones for critical listening in my home studio and also for general music enjoyment. If I need isolation, I can always fall back on one of the other two. I've also found them to be very comfortable. I know some people have commented that they are tight on the head, and I felt that too, initially. But after using them for a while they seemed to loosened up just enough. (I don't have a wide head, so that may be a factor.) Sure, you might be able to get a better set of headphones for a couple of hundred dollars more, but I've given these five stars because they're an excellent value for the audio quality they provide.

Beyer has always made great headphones

I owned a recording studio in theh SF Bay Area from teh 70-90's. While we used AKGs for studio phones, I always liked Beyer more. Their DT770's were acurate and when I would check a mix, it sounded like the speakers! Just right. I retired from REcording Studio life in '91, but still record my own songs and mix on my Beyers! HAving speakers in my home is not really in the cards, so I have relied on Beyer DT770 series. I decided to try the DT990 this time and find their spatial quality for L_R improved but also their Top to Bottom also is improved. I have enjoyed them and find them to be accurate. The open back is a problem for overdubs, due to feedback, so I go back to my 770's for tracking. Beyer's prices have alsways been very reasonable. I've tried $ brands that do not measure up to the Beyers in my opinion.
