The DT 990 Edition is an open-back, wired, circumaural headphone designed for home hi-fi listening. Its open construction allows outside sound to remain audible and supports a spacious presentation. It uses velour earpads, a soft-fit headband, and a straight cable; the Edition model is distinct from the DT 990 PRO, which has a firmer fit and a coiled cable. The Edition is offered in 32-, 250-, and 600-ohm versions.
