Audio Technica M50X VS Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro

Not one of them is perfect but overall the DT99 Pro's win for me and only because they fit better than Audio-Technica M50X (for my head anyway) plus there is no interference on the Beyerdynamic headset 🤷🏻 .

This comparison is 10 times better than any other I just watched regarding these two headsets, espacially because you spent most of the video talking about the audio quality and confort, and not the other nonesense. Great work.

[@CINENIMUS]

Haha love it 👌

[@chairmanJackie]

They're both seem good, but for different purposes. Having a close-back and open-back option is good options for people that need the isolation vs more room sound. I'm a sound designer and open-backs are ideal for me in a quiet studio environment (or even gaming) where I'm not getting a lot of environment or room noise. Close backs also have a unique sound but it's more isolated so it's better for in recording sessions where I want to only hear what's being recorded, be it in the studio or field/location. I have the M50, but looking to get a new open-back option. Thanks for the amazing review!!

[@CINENIMUS]

Glad to be of help, yeah for me I only use close back now when I travel and open back for everything else I really like the openness of them 👌

[@someoneontheweb4303]

Beautiful color grading dude

[@CINENIMUS]

Thanks I did get better since haha

[@dubdoodle7191]

Very interesting points. Comfort is priority, but so is modern headphone sound technology like accurate bass, mids, non-analytical highs. So does that mean the only option is expensive Senn. HD600 / 660 ?

[@CINENIMUS]

There are literally hundreds of other options by now

[@dubdoodle7191]

@@CINENIMUS100's - Actually there's not, so mention just 50 LoL

[@LudwigPB]

thanks a lot for the detailed and very interesting comparison! especially the kinda oldschool sound profile is an interesting point. have you thought about getting a closed beyerdynamic pair like the 770pro? I worked with them often before but my own pair is somehow not the same confort level and after a short time it's already uncomfortable on my ears... (the thing you love most about your Beyerdynamic) I also read they changed the earpads to a cheaper manufacturer, maybe it got something to do with this :l

[@CINENIMUS]

hey man thanks for the kind words :) yes thought about dt770pro's but I dont really need the close back I got used to open back so much by now it just feels odd to have it closed up. Plus the sound coming from open back still feels a bit closer to the sound you receive from the speakers. I think beyerdynamic updated the sound profile on their POR X series. I actually might get a a set to compare now that I'm thinking about it haha

[@helgyd]

I had 3 ATH (one m40 and two m50s) headsets and I've never had one cable broken It's always plastic little details that provide this neat folding feature. If you use them sparingly and carafully, they will last you long enough, but when they break, god this is annoying

[@CINENIMUS]

yeah the fit also was just not for me and the fact that they were closed back - still going strong with my DT990pro's just maybe need new velour pads replaced soon

[@helgyd]

@@CINENIMUS I'm ready to give up this bit of comfort for that bass :( cause the m50 sound is just right for me. Have to compromise

[@CINENIMUS]

@@helgyd yeah stronger bass is nice but you know what after using them for about 2 years I re-calibrated my ear to higher frequencies 🙈 no way back for me - everything sounds like it has too much bass now haha

[@JM-nu2kw]

Thank you for the review. You mentioned that 990 lacking bass. Do they have detachable cable? Which one would you recommend for classic rock listening at home?

[@CINENIMUS]

It depends on a budget but anything from Sennheiser HD range above £120-150 and open back design would be my recommendation

[@CINENIMUS]

it all depends how much of a hobby is Audio listening for you if I was to buy one for music - Sennheiser HD 650 would be my choice

[@ULyngskor]

You got a movie set right there for headphone reviews lol

[@CINENIMUS]

Haha yeah the “shed studios” 🙈👌

[@beatsbyfrancotrapboy]

For trap mixing, which of these two would you recommend? Great review, congratulations

[@CINENIMUS]

I dont do any trap mixing so cant tell really but if like I said dt990 pros have the base bit reduced but otherwise much better in every other way

[@wedoprods6088]

Mixing in general I'd get the 990s

[@CINENIMUS]

Yeah they not bad but a set of speaker monitors is a much to double check

[@AashishJhaMusic]

Which one do you recommend? In India Dt990 pro is expensive than m50x

[@CINENIMUS]

Tty both if you can very different feel. But sound wise both are excellent

[@AashishJhaMusic]

@@CINENIMUS I am a music producer so I want the sound spectrum to be balanced..... It should not be like the low end is very prominent or something like that..... We music producers have to be very precise about frequencies

[@CINENIMUS]

@@AashishJhaMusic the dt990 pro has a very “scooped” out low end. I would say m50x is closer to what modern speakers are able to recreate

[@Pi-Kant]

Подскажите, а наушники для сведения и мониторинга Audio Technica m40x можно использовать? Подойдут для начинающего?)

[@CINENIMUS]

I cant read Cyrillic - try English and tag me or I wont see your responce

[@Pi-Kant]

@@CINENIMUS Tell me, can I use headphones for information and monitoring of Audio Technica m40x? Are they suitable for a beginner?)

[@CINENIMUS]

Get beyerdynamics

[@hijodelsol8339]

Hello, congratulations for your video. What is better for listen music and play videogames?

[@CINENIMUS]

Which one?
