beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO X Headphones Get Detachable Cable and New Drivers

Designed for critical listening and editing, the updated 2025 beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO X headphones bring new flexibility, comfort, and clarity to one of the most iconic headphones in professional audio. The DT 990 PRO X now have a detachable cable and received powerful new STELLAR.45 drivers, getting a lower impedance rating that allows for better performance across a wide range of devices (the original 600 ohm version of the DT 990 PRO is still around and remains unchanged).

First previewed in January 2025 at the NAMM show, this more affordable model joins the ATH-R50x and updated flagship ATH-R70xa, launched earlier. The new Audio-Technica R-Series of open-back headphones offers a more natural, spacious listening experience, ideal for mixing and mastering in a studio or other private space.

The DT 770 PRO X headphones are now available in limited quantities for pre-order for $199, with wider availability to come later in 2024.
