Loved their DT 990 PRO 250 ohm for 4-5 years until the left driver stopped working.

Has run the DT 990 PRO on a Schiit Hel 2 for two years and is pretty happy with the sound, wanting only more bass punch.

Their DT 990 PRO 80 ohm has excess 6-7 kHz energy, a 12.3 kHz peak and a strange midrange.

Used the DT 990 PRO 250 ohm heavily for six years with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo and loved it.

Loves their DT 990 PRO 250 ohm on a Sound Blaster G8 for gaming, but finds it too bright for music.

Bought a used DT 990 PRO and finds the sound wonderful, but the cups don't reach far enough down on their big head.
