The MMX 300 is a headset and skype, gaming, listening to music as well as occasional for creating podcasts ideal. Due to its closed design you will not be disturbed by outside noises, still receives the microphone signals, which can be heard in the headphones. But for the pure and long listening sessions I've always wanted to have an open headphones. I like open systems actually more ...
The DT-990 Pro is one such open headphones and for my taste it is a wonderful Ohrenschmeichler, which is ideally suited for high quality music playback. The workmanship is as usual from Beyerdynamic, very very neat. Since expresses nothing, since nothing wobbles and otherwise makes the DT-990 Pro is a virtually indestructible impression. The wearing comfort is extremely good for my mind and even after four hours I feel no pressure or headaches. On the contrary, often I forget almost that you are wearing a headset.
The sound is for initial familiarization also just outstanding. Just because the depths are not so much present as the MMX 300, it is a fairly neutral setter, but certainly can come up with powerful depths, provided the source material includes such. It's just incredible how detailed the DT-990 Pro dissolves. Due to its open design, it seems to me a little dizzy, which I really like. Had the heights not easy betohnt, one might think that he has an absolutely natural sound. But you can see the light Betohnung the heights of the DT-990 well. Here you have to really know if you like it. Perhaps the DT-880 is there more restrained, but I sadly can not say. I personally do not mind, and I'll keep the DT-990 Pro deffinitiv for long listening sessions.
First, I have the DT-990 is connected to my Laptob where he worked quite well in spite of its 250 ohms. I had very little louder than usual to make to hear a familiar for myself volume. As though my headphone extension cable had arrived, I finally connected it to my great computer to the Asus Xonar Essence STX. The preamplifier included in the sound card set correctly, plays the DT-990 Pro but only really sleep on. And suddenly comes on fun while listening to music. One can say, of modern onboard soundcards work the DT-990 Pro quite well, but a sound card with an integrated headphone preamp or a separate but such is recommended already. Just like a headphone extension. The spiral cable of the DT-990 is indeed on the length of her fine, but will you not pull the cable so you will probably not come to an extension drumm around. For ten or fifteen Euros you should get what really sensible there already.
From me there for these headphones full five stars and an absolute buy recommendation if you want to have an open headset for high quality music playback.
