DT 1990 PRO MKII - Overview

The Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO MKII studio headphones represent the second generation of this popular premium model, designed for mixing, mastering, and editing, thanks to their open-back design and wide soundstage.

Made in Germany, these headphones deliver enhanced sound quality, improved comfort, and industry-leading craftsmanship. At their core is the new TESLA.45 driver technology. Completely redesigned, the 45 mm driver system delivers exceptional resolution, extremely low distortion, and outstanding impulse response. Utilizing weight-optimized materials, TESLA.45 offers both top-notch sound quality and flexibility.

With an impedance of 30 ohms, the DT 1990 PRO MKII studio headphones can be used with a variety of devices. In terms of sound, these reference headphones offer precise bass response down to the lowest octaves. The slightly reduced treble compared to the previous model provides high detail while helping to avoid errors during mixing, especially in modern productions with complex high-frequency profiles.

These studio headphones are designed for extended studio sessions, offering excellent comfort. The durable spring-steel headband ensures optimal pressure distribution, while the comfortable velour ear pads prevent heat build-up. The memory foam-padded headband adapts perfectly to the shape of your head, and the new fontanelle recess avoids pressure on sensitive areas. Both the headband and ear pads are easily replaceable. The DT 1990 PRO MKII comes with two different ear pad options for maximum flexibility. The standard "Production Velours" slightly boost bass for a fuller sound, while the "Mixing & Mastering Velours" provide a more precise, analytical sound.

The package also includes two cables: a 3-meter straight cable and a 5-meter coiled cable, both featuring lockable 3-pin mini XLR plugs. Everything is securely stored in a high-quality hard case.

DT 1990 Pro MKII: The Evolution of a Studio Legend
The DT 1990 PRO MKII open-back studio headphones are the second generation of the popular premium model. They boast improved sound, increased comfort and industry-leading workmanship made in Germany. At the heart is the newly developed TESLA.45 driver technology. Suitable for mixing, mastering and editing, they are the perfect choice for discerning users who want to take their tracks to the next level.

The Open-Back Reference
Thanks to their open-back design, the DT 1990 PRO MKII offers a natural, spatial sound pattern, which makes them ideal for professional mixing, mastering and editing.

The New Generation of Tesla Technology
The DT 1990 PRO MKII feature the latest generation of TESLA driver technology TESLA.45. Redesigned from the ground up, the 45mm driver system boasts an excellent resolution, extremely low distortion and outstanding impulse behaviour. The TESLA.45 provides signal fidelity even at high volumes. Beyerdynamic engineers have managed to combine studio-sound and flexibility thanks to weight-optimized materials. The DT 1990 PRO MKII has an impedance of 30 ohms, which means that the studio headphones can be used with a variety of end devices.

When it comes to sound, the reference headphones boast precise bass response right down to the lowest octaves. The slightly reduced highs compared to the previous model offer a high amount of information and help to avoid wrong decisions when mixing. Thanks to the wide soundstage, instruments and voices can be precisely pinpointed.
The sound transducers are manufactured at the company headquarters in Heilbronn, Germany. Each DT 1990 PRO MKII contains two TESLA.45 sound transducers, which are measured several times during the various production steps.
