Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro MKII Open-back Headphones

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro MKII Open-back Headphones

Tailor-made for mixing, mastering, and editing, Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro MKII headphones offer engineers uncompromising sound, weight-optimized comfort, and heavy-duty craftsmanship. These open-back headphones leverage Tesla 45 driver technology to bring you class-leading resolution, imperceptibly low distortion, and transient response that’s truly second to none. The DT 1990 Pro MKII’s 30-ohm impedance offers exemplary performance with a broad range of playback devices, providing you with subdued yet detailed high end and precise low-frequency response down to the lowest octaves. Moreover, a memory-foam-padded headband, interchangeable ear pads, and a groundbreaking recessed design provide you with long-wearing comfort and purpose-driven performance over marathon-length studio sessions. You also get removable cables and a rugged storage case. Finally, you can use Beyerdynamic's Headphone Lab software to create a true-to-life simulation of a reference-grade studio environment for confident decision-making while mixing and mastering. Engineers searching for a premium set of open-back headphones will find that the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro MKII makes the grade — and then some.

Top-grade Tesla 45 driver technology

The DT 1990 Pro MKII’s 45mm Tesla 45 drivers offer truly superior sound quality with highly detailed resolution, vanishingly low distortion, and outstanding transient response. We’ve also found that these headphones' 30-ohm impedance delivers precise low-frequency response with an endless array of playback devices. Additionally, the DT 1990 Pro MKII exhibits a slightly reduced treble response than the MKI version, but with greater accuracy, enabling you to avoid errors during mixing — a must-have for modern productions with complex high-frequency profiles

Built for long-wearing comfort

The first time you put Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro MKII headphones on, you’ll be amazed by how comfortable they are. And why is this? Well, it all starts with weight-optimized materials, ensuring a featherlight feel, even after several hours of use. Next, the DT 1990 Pro MKII’s spring-loaded, memory-foam-padded headband, which includes a specially tailored fontanelle recess to protect pressure-sensitive areas, adapts perfectly to the shape of your head. You also get two purpose-designed sets of velour ear pads that not only provide you with extreme comfort, but they also safeguard against heat build-up.

Includes a practical cache of accessories

The DT 1990 Pro MKII includes two sets of velour ear pads: the standard Production Velour set slightly boosts bass for a fuller sound, while the Mixing and Mastering Velour set provides a more precise, analytical sound. You also get two removable cables: a 10-foot straight cable and a 16-foot coiled cable, both equipped with lockable 3-pin mini XLR plugs. What’s more, you can store everything securely in the included hard case.

Reference-grade monitoring — no room required

While the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro MKII sounds amazing on its own, Beyerdynamic’s Headphone Lab software elevates it into the functional realm of reference-grade monitoring. Free to DT-series headphone owners, Headphone Lab is a studio-simulation plug-in that re-creates the sound and spatial behavior of professional studio monitors in an acoustically treated room. An indispensable asset for engineers working in less-than-ideal environments, the software employs advanced crossfeed modeling, HRTFs (Head-Related Transfer Functions), and optional room simulation to deliver a natural stereo image, accurate depth, and reliable spatial perception, while also optimizing tonal balance by utilizing a scientifically developed studio sound profile. Headphone Lab allows you to fine-tune realism by adjusting ear spacing, head circumference, and speaker angle. Moreover, you can select between a broad-stroke Standard Calibration based on what Beyerdynamic refers to as its Golden Sample or an ultra-precise Factory Calibration using the exact production measurements of your actual physical headphones. Compatible with major DAWs on Windows and macOS and requiring no subscription, Headphone Lab provides a convenient, cost-free way to achieve mixes that translate consistently across various playback systems
