Our take on the beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO X
The beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO X is an open-back headphone for mixing, suited to streamers who edit VODs. At a tracked $229.99 it sits at the top of its $199.99 to $229.99 range from August 25 to October 19, 2026.
Open-back means sound leaks out, so do not wear it while the mic is live. It is for editing, not for live streaming. The 48 ohm drive runs from a laptop, phone or interface, and a detachable 3 meter cable comes in the box. The price is at its tracked high, $30 above the low. It has 4.5 across 540 retailer ratings.

Where it fits in a build
Monitor your audio. Closed-back headphones (no mic) are the pro pick if you mic separately; a headset adds a mic for comms or casual use. See every headphones / headset pick
