The Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro MKII Headphones bring a new level of precision, detail, and comfort to one of the most respected open-back studio headphone designs in professional audio.
Built for critical mixing, mastering, and editing, these second-generation reference headphones feature Beyerdynamic's newly developed TESLA.45 driver technology, delivering exceptional resolution, accurate bass reproduction, and a more balanced high-frequency response. With an expansive soundstage that makes it easier to identify individual instruments and subtle mix details, the DT 1990 Pro MKII gives audio professionals the confidence to make better decisions. Add in premium German craftsmanship, improved ergonomics, and a versatile low-impedance design, and you have a serious studio monitoring tool that's ready for those long sessions when every detail matters. At the heart of the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro MKII is the advanced TESLA.45 driver system, engineered from the ground up to improve sonic accuracy while minimizing distortion. These dynamic drivers utilize powerful neodymium magnets, a precision-engineered PEEK polymer diaphragm, and a lightweight aluminum-coated copper voice coil to achieve outstanding transient response and detailed sound reproduction. Compared to the original DT 1990 Pro, the MKII offers a refined treble response that reduces excessive brightness without sacrificing the clarity needed for critical listening. Its precise low-frequency performance and natural midrange presentation help engineers evaluate everything from kick drum definition and bass balance to vocal placement and complex stereo imaging. The open-back acoustic design creates a spacious, natural listening experience that makes these professional studio headphones particularly well suited for mixing and mastering applications. Additionally, the updated low-impedance design provides greater compatibility with audio interfaces, headphone amplifiers, and other playback devices. Comfort and flexibility are equally important when working through demanding studio sessions, and the DT 1990 Pro MKII delivers on both fronts. The robust spring steel headband features soft memory foam padding, a durable leatherette covering, and a specially designed fontanelle recess that helps relieve pressure on sensitive areas of the head. Breathable velour ear pads provide a comfortable fit, while two interchangeable ear pad sets allow users to tailor the listening experience to their workflow. The Producing Velours provide a fuller sound with a slight bass boost, while the Mixing & Mastering Velours deliver a more analytical, linear presentation for precision work. Detachable mini-XLR cables, replaceable components, and a rugged construction featuring anodized metal and durable plastics make these headphones a dependable long-term investment. Manufactured in Germany with carefully measured driver tolerances, the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro MKII combines reference-quality sound with the durability and versatility professional engineers expect.
