SnippetsConclusion
Aesthetic options, good audio quality. Fit issues are significant, cost more than they should.
Conclusion
The DT 990s are a great set of headphones. They had great audio quality and the option to redecorate these via MANUFAKTUR is just plain cool. We implore Beyerdynamic to keep expanding the range of options users can fiddle with to customize their headphones, because currently there isn’t a gigantic array of options available. Our own creative greediness aside, our sincerest ‘bravo’ goes out to Beyerdynamic for this feature.
All this aside, the DT 990s have some serious fit issues and are pretty expensive. The DT 990s are great for people who like good audio quality and aesthetic customization. If you want a cheaper option, you can always pick up the Sennheiser HD 555s, or if these aren’t classy enough for you and your robber baron peers, check out the ATH-W5000s by Audio-Technica.

The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
