Ratings & SpecsConclusion
Who's It For
Audiophiles
Really low distortion and a flat frequency response will definitely appeal to audiophile purists who don’t like their headphones screwing around with their music. Highly recommended here.
Portable User
Stick with in-ears.
Airplane Traveler
Not only are these not portable, but the lack of isolation and leakage means you’ll be making yourself and the person next to you deaf.
Home / Office Use
Home theater is a great environment for the DT 990 PROs. They won’t have the meatiest explosions or as many options as a set of over-ears that are specifically meant for movie viewing, but they’ll provide a huge soundscape that will really help portray a large sense of scale.
Conclusion
We’re totally sold on the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PROs. These things have a great sound, excellent sound quality, are very comfortable, and have a long cord. The giant, open-backed cups give a very immersive soundstage. We also think they look good as well. If you’re looking for at-home headphones, the DT 990 PROs are a great option. We highly recommend these.Shop for the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO

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
