A classic, reimagined: The DT 990 PRO X builds on the legendary sound signature of the DT 990 PRO – now enhanced with modern features like the powerful STELLAR.45 driver and a detachable cable.

Made in Germany for uncompromising studio sound and
long-term use.

How does the DT 990 PRO X differ from the DT 990 PRO? 

What both open-back studio headphones – the DT 990 PRO and the DT 990 PRO X – have in common is their outstanding spatial sound, excellent build quality, and application-optimized product design. Their high product quality is ensured by manufacturing in Germany.Thanks to their elevated treble response and impressive transparency, both models reveal acoustic inaccuracies and act as a sonic magnifying glass – making them the perfect complement to studio monitors during the production process.

A key difference lies in the driver technology: The DT 990 PRO is available in multiple impedance versions (80 ohms & 250 ohms) to suit different usage scenarios. In contrast, the DT 990 PRO X features the modern STELLAR.45 driver with 48 ohms, allowing it to be used with a wide range of playback devices without compromising sound quality.

The models also differ in terms of features: The DT 990 PRO has a fixed cable, while the DT 990 PRO X comes with a detachable 3-meter cable featuring a lockable mini-XLR connector.

Additionally, the DT 990 PRO X offers improved wearing comfort. An integrated recess in the headband at the fontanelle area reduces pressure on sensitive spots at the top of the head.
