    1.Since how long do you use?
    I use it now for 1 month.
    2.avi you tried many other models before buying it?
    Before purchasing this headset, I owned a Sony MDR-V500DJ. The latter was so disappointed by the sound reproduction, either at low or overall sound quality, I had a little afraid to invest in new headphones. That's why I turned on the side of headphones ITE, including Sony and Sennheiser, the rendering is far superior to anything I've tested before.

    Launched me in creating music (Cubase), and not wishing to invest in monitoring speakers, I could not continue to work with headphones ITE. After consulting with numerous review sites and forums - including Audiofanzine - I decided to …

    Launched me in creating music (Cubase), and not wishing to invest in monitoring speakers, I could not continue to work with headphones ITE. After consulting with numerous review sites and forums - including Audiofanzine - I decided to buy the Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro.

    Well ... Just awesome! Its a very linear, very clear, very clean ... No matter what style of music.

    As for the bass for fans of Electro-House, Drum'n'Bass, Dubstep, etc.. like me, do not worry, they are not developed, but these are well!
    3.What is the characteristic you love most, the least?
    + Overall quality of sound.
    Price unbeatable.
    + Comfort of the headphone (I'm always impressed by the extreme lightness of the headphone and the comfort that provide the atria velvet).
    + Print Finishing overall robustness, design.

    - It's not really a minus, but the fact that this headphone is opened, low volume all external sounds are perceived. But fans can rest assured decibels when the volume is pushed up, it becomes difficult to hear something.
    - As a result, these headphones are not made for planners glued to their iPods and other players, because that headphone may be uncomfortable for people quickly around you, the music you hear is easily audible to your neighbors subway, bus or whatever, classmates.
    - Risk to suffer in summer, because the atria ... But we do not step ... And in the opposite case, they keep you warm in winter: D
    4.How would you rate the quality / price?
    Excellent, no better.
    5.Avec experience, you do again this election?
    Without any worries.
    In short, a brilliant headphone at all levels!

    I have this headphone for 4 years now so I think I can give a clear and honest.
    It is simply PERFECT! I use it for production, mix, games, movies and fun ... And so far nothing has disappointed me.
    We hear everything very clearly, and without modification (or very very very slightly).
    Moreover, once the head is no longer felt the weight of the headphone. (I use 4 / 5 hours non-stop daily)
    The foam has lost its sheen after 4 years, but it is always nice and the headphones seem almost new (and yet he lived)

    Honestly, I wanted to buy something at a time because I expected to find even better. But even in the high ranges above, this headset is easily distinguished.

    A choice I referrer should he one day messing around, but given the robustness of the thing, I think I still have for 4 / 5 years with!

    I've been using it for one year.
    I'm very satisfied.
    Consistent and well balanced response. It's not linear, the low and high-end are a bit emphasized. But the sound is very natural and consistent without any cut or boost. Once you know how it sounds, you'll have no problems. It's very important.
    Good stereo imaging with a lot of "air".
    The dynamic response is faithful.
    What about transient response? These headphones showed me what transients are. It's very impressive and it enhance the stereo imaging. When punch is needed, you get punch.

    The first time I used it, I wanted to send it back because I found the sound awful... After one day of use, the sound became amaz…

    The first time I used it, I wanted to send it back because I found the sound awful... After one day of use, the sound became amazing... It had to be run in...

    My mixes became much better... I hardly use my HS80 anymore...

    The headphones are very comfortable.

    Sound description after listening to some CDs:
    Very good reproduction of acoustic and electric basses: smooth, precise, controlled. Kick drum and bass are clearly separated. (with good recordings)
    Electric guitars get good transients. (vintage guitars sound amazing with a lot of warmth). The headphones reproduce the warmth of the recordings.
    The low-end of a church organ seems to be a bit too emphasized.
    Very good for classical music. The noise of older recordings is not disturbing at all and it's no hinder to extract details (which are very well reproduced). Very good dynamic response and sound precision.
    "Real" stereo recordings are very well reproduced.
    Electronic music gets very tight lows.
    For the first time ever, I could hear the difference between a 320kb/s MP3 and the original file in CD format. I made the experience as a blind test! I recognized the MP3 file through its transient response...

    So, yes, I would buy it again... Maybe I would buy closed headphones as a complement...
