How to use

Connect the gold-plated 3.5 mm plug to your audio source or use the included 6.35 mm adapter for amplifier and interface inputs. Place the circumaural ear cups over your ears and adjust the spring steel headband for a secure but comfortable fit. For critical listening, allow the headphones to settle on the head for a few minutes to achieve optimal seal and positioning. Keep the single-sided cable untangled and routed to minimize strain on the connector during use.

Recommendations

For best performance, pair the DT 990 with an appropriate headphone amplifier or a high-quality output device, especially with high-impedance versions. Avoid using open-back headphones in noisy or public environments where sound leakage or external noise may be an issue.
