DT 990 Edition is very good overall

The cable
which lacks an inline remote
their open-back design is not ideal for everyday casual use
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
lack sub-bass like the Sennheiser do
don't have a microphone
controls
or companion software
they might sound a bit sharp for some and are a bit tight on the head
The cable isn t removable which is a huge bummer
leaves minimal gaps around glasses frames
headset doesn t render it so loud that it becomes hard to hear vocals
the high impedance leaves you a bit limited on where
deaf-mutes Click to expand
It also lacks deep bass reproduction
finally salvaged the headphone sound
It may not display this or other websites correctly
nasty bass distortion and worse warbling sound per above
