DT 990 PRO X from beyerdynamic

  • The open studio headphones, handcrafted in Germany, build on the sound signature of their iconic predecessor and expand it with clever innovations.

  • With its natural treble boost and impressive transparency, it reveals acoustic inaccuracies, acting as a sound magnifier—and a perfect complement to studio monitors in the production process.

  • The DT 990 PRO X is available now at a suggested retail price of £205.15 (including VAT) in the online shop at www.beyerdynamic.com, on amazon, and at specialist retailers.


Heilbronn, 06 June 2025 – beyerdynamic, the preferred brand of musicians and audio professionals, presents the DT 990 PRO X: the latest evolution of the legendary DT 990 PRO headphones, featuring a detachable cable, a wide range of interchangeable parts, enhanced flexibility thanks to low impedance, and the powerful STELLAR.45 driver.


The studio classic from beyerdynamic – reinterpreted


Since the 1980s, the DT 990 PRO has been an indispensable part of many studios. These headphones stand for detailed sound, optimal comfort, and durable design at an affordable price. Over the decades, renowned musicians and producers have discovered and remained loyal to the DT 990 PRO, including Flume, Martin Garrix, and Metro Boomin.


Handcrafted in Germany, the DT 990 PRO X builds on the sound signature of the DT 990 PRO and takes it to a new level. Designed for critical listening and editing, this new addition, with its large soundstage, proves to be a perfect complement to studio monitors. It offers the precision and clarity studio professionals need to identify even the finest sonic details and flaws in their mix.


"Most home producers have studio monitors they use to check their mixes," says Product Manager Kevin Nietsch. "With the DT 990 PRO X, we give you a precise tool—an acoustic magnifying glass that lets you peer deep into any mix—an ideal complement to existing studio monitors."

The DT 990 PRO X is now available at a recommended retail price of 199.00 euros (including VAT) in the online shop at www.beyerdynamic.com, on amazon and through authorised retailers.
