    The monitor output audio indicator should have an option to be disabled.
    Also, you should be able to install the drivers without having to register for Universal Audio's ridiculous spam service.

    250ohm buyer dynamic 990 pro headphones play very loud and clear, they have usb type c and everything is easy, also the company gives you keys for programs to make your music. As for the device, it is metallic and of quality and generally everything on it is of quality and nice for now. I have had it for 2 years and I am writing a review now, it withstands moves, nothing happens to it. UPDATE 6/5/2026 it has driven me out of bounds because from the left headphone it gives more volume in every headphone I tried and I will gladly throw it away when I get a new one from another brand obviously
