Another plus is the broad-based sound field. The sound is not right in the head, but somehow come from anywhere - as if you were in a bubble of sound in which you want to immerse prefer deeper. Overall, the music is also "spherical". But that I mean absolutely not mean that these echoes or an echo has, but somehow more swings in front of him and looks alive, which is probably due to the strong bass.
I think it's also pretty amazing that the sound but is open and at the same time somehow targeted at the ear. That's really hard to describe, but sounds very pleasant and gives the music a special touch. By emphasizing the bass of the 990 also has a very warm and as already mentioned also alive.
The heights give compared to the 880 and 770 not really much. The centers are slightly weaker but still relatively fit harmoniously into the overall picture. Perhaps this could be slightly stronger. This mix of strong bass, slightly offset to the rear middle and back relatively normal levels is due to the resulting frequency curve the bath from the one in other places read every now and then.
In stark contrast to the 770er the music is independent of the carrying method always identical. Even if you slowly pulls the headphones from your ears you notice any overly sharp change in timbre. It is just quieter.
Very nice is still the very differentiated sound representation across the entire spectrum. While many just like favorable headphones tend can spend all in one unit Matsch one here really bass and treble perceive clearly separated. So a Hi-Hat still retains z. B. even with a strong bass, the typical hissing and is not pulled down.
The comfort is very pleasant and you forget shaped after a while you're wearing headphones. The connecting cable is sufficiently long with 3 meters and seems durable. The cable itself is a 3.5mm jack; An adapter to 6.3mm is however. Likewise, even included a handy carrying case with leather cover, the inside with cut foam keeps the headphones and secures etc. during transport from shocks.
With its strong bass and the relatively wide sound field, that here simply provides certain something, is the 990 in my opinion the fun model in this series. Some people will probably him as far too bassy classify. In the case it is nevertheless worth considering if you possibly slightly out turns the bass, because the others are some still sustain.
Who now asks where the advantages and disadvantages of the 600 ohm version are - here's a little foray into the art world: the membrane that produces the sound, there is a wound coil of wire. This wire is for headphones with low impedance of 32 ohms, for example, only relatively thick as he is very fine in headphones with high impedance -. Such as in the model reviewed here. The thick wire so just has a lower resistance than the thinner wire. For the sound is the whole point, that the thicker wire "cumbersome" is there more mass to move, whereas in a high-impedance headphones, the coil is lighter and fine signal changes better elaborates. HiFi enthusiasts grab for this reason rather high-impedance headphones.
If someone thinks now "super, because I take it directly to 600 ohms variant" who has not reckoned with his setter; Which brings us then arrived at the detriment of the 600 ohm version. Due to the high impedance of the headphones needed to develop especially more power to its full potential. However, devices such as MP3 players or even simple common soundcards in the PC does not have such power. The sound then acts in its dynamics severely curtailed (by tests even identified) and the maximum volume is very limited. Anyone toying with the 600 ohm version should therefore call a suitable headphone amplifier its own.
Who has only now realized that he may needs more equipment, the purse but not necessarily strain unnecessarily. The DT990 is also available as 32 and 250 Ohm variant, where especially the latter is an interesting compromise, the one z. B. with an inexpensive amplifier type Fii0 can combine E11. If you want the whole use only the PC can access also to the model E10. Incidentally, I myself use the amplifier Corda Jazz by Meier Audio.
