Sennheiser HD 650 ComparisonBeyerdynamic DT 990 Comparison
Design
There really isn’t a lot of difference between these two headphones, which is to be expected since they’re in the same series. The one major design difference is the closed-back vs. open-backed design.

Verdict
There really isn’t that much difference between the DT 770s and DT 990s. The DT 990s have better sound quality overall, but the DT 770s isolate better. For more users, the DT 770s will be the better value.
