Can wear their DT 900 PRO X all day despite more clamp than the DT 770, and finds the bass just right.

positivecomfortable

Sometimes cannot wear their DT 900 PRO X for more than an hour because it hurts.

negativeuncomfortable

After a year, the DT 900 PRO X headband leatherette came unglued; the part is noticeably poorer than the rest and replacement was a pain.

Loving the comfort and overall sound signature of their new DT 900 PRO X, though the bass is a little lacking after the IE 400 Pro.

positivecomfortable

The headband of their daily-driver DT 900 PRO X came away from the foam after just four months.

negativebuild quality issues

Bought the DT 900 PRO X over the Sundara for PC music listening and now wonders if they could have done better for the money.

Their DT 900 PRO X and HD 560S both cause listening fatigue, while their Cloud Alpha does not.

Immediately noticed the strong clamp of their DT 900 PRO X compared with the comfy SHP9500 and SHP9600.

mixed

Their DT 900 PRO X sounded good and better with EQ, and was comfortable once the band was stretched.

positive

Owns the HD 490 Pro and DT 900 PRO X and cannot wear the Beyerdynamic as long as the god-tier comfy Sennheiser.

negativeuncomfortable

Their DT 900 PRO X worked perfectly, but after about a month the right side feels loose.

mixedbuild quality issues

Finds the DT 900 PRO X amazing: rich, warm, very good bass and clean mids.

positivewarmgreat bass

Owns the DT 900 PRO X; like most Beyerdynamics it has some harsh upper-treble peaks.

After years with the HD 560S, finds the DT 900 PRO X hurts their ears even with EQ.

The inside of their right ear burns when wearing their new DT 900 PRO X.

Has used the DT 900 PRO X for almost five years with oratory1990's EQ and finds it amazing.

The headband foam on their DT 900 PRO X started peeling and falling out.

mixedbuild quality issues

Owns the HD 560S and DT 900 PRO X and prefers the 900, with more clarity in the mids and highs.

positive

Their new DT 900 PRO X was fatiguing at first with a stiff headband, but it improved after many hours of use.

After 3-4 years their DT 900 PRO X's cup pulled out of the headband and the pads broke, a slow disintegration others report too.

negativebuild quality issues

Switched to the DT 900 PRO X after contact-wire failures on an HD 660S and has had no issues; finds it more comfortable too.

positivecomfortable

Uses the DT 900 PRO X for competitive games where pinpointing enemies works really well, but it lacks bass and fun for action-heavy games.
