Frequently Asked Questions
The 1990 Pro MKII offers a noticeably more refined and detailed sound, with improved bass response and a wider soundstage, though the 990 remains a solid, more budget-friendly option.
While they'll work with a phone, a dedicated amp unlocks their full potential, providing the necessary power for the 30-ohm impedance and revealing more detail and dynamic range.
Beyerdynamic doesn't officially endorse washing the velour ear pads; spot cleaning is recommended to avoid damage to the delicate material.
