Type
Over Ear

Type

Over Ear

Headphones with larger ear cups compared to on-ear headphones, which hug the ears.


They are more comfortable and provide better external noise isolation, but are more difficult to transport due to their larger size.

Generally, over-ear headphones can offer higher quality sound and deep bass compared to on-ear headphones of similar quality, thanks to their larger speakers.
Frequency Response
5 - 35000 Hz

Frequency Response

The range of frequencies that headphones can reproduce. The most common range is that of human hearing, 20 - 20000 Hz. A wider frequency range does not necessarily mean better sound quality.

  • (Bass) 20-250 Hz: Stronger bass, for depth. Ideal frequencies for listening to electronic or hip hop music.
  • (Mids) 250-4,000 Hz: The mid frequencies are stronger, suitable for better listening to vocals or orchestral music.
  • (Treble) 4,000-20,000 Hz: High frequencies affect the clarity and sharpness of the sound, for better listening to, for example, cymbals or the plucking of classical guitar strings.
Impendance
250 ohm

Impendance

The resistance that the speakers of headphones have to electric current. Usually, the lower the resistance, the louder the headphones sound, but the sound is less clear.

This size does not concern the average user as almost all headphones are 32 Ohms. Headphones with high resistance usually require an additional amplifier.
Sensitivity
96 dB

Sensitivity

The greater the sensitivity of the headphones, the louder they will sound at a specific volume of the source. Generally, values above 90db are considered very good. - **Above 100db**: Headphones with high Sensitivity produce more sound with less power. They can reach high volumes with low-power devices (e.g., mobile phone, laptop). - **Below 100db**: Headphones with low Sensitivity require more power to reach the same volume levels, so they may need a special headphone amplifier
Driver Diameter
40 mm

Driver Diameter

The diameter of the headphones' speakers. Usually, the larger the diameter, the more powerful sound with full bass they can offer.

    High-quality sound even on your mobile phone, of course without high volume due to the 250 ohm. With amplification and very high volume, there is no distortion of the sound. You can hear even the smallest detail in every musical instrument or effect. Generally, you wouldn't want to take them out of your ears.

    These specific headphones are a very good choice for someone who wants to upgrade their existing headset to something better. However, the potential buyer should pay attention to some details. Firstly, there are two versions: the Pro and the Edition. The Edition is theoretically for home use (gaming, music), while the Pro version is mainly for studio and mixing use. I chose the 990 Edition because of the cable, which is not coiled but straight, so it doesn't get tangled in my things. Nevertheless, I got them for gaming use on a computer. I connected them to a SoundBlaster Z, which in the specs states that it can drive up to 600Ω headphones, but the truth is that it only reaches up to 220. The pre-amplification it has for the headphones is incredibly powerful. It comfortably drives the 990 Edition and there is no need to go above 60% volume.

    But our main focus is the headphones. They have a very good build quality. The sound is crystal clear without distortions. For those who use them with a computer sound card, remove the various effects that the software has. For example, I disabled the Soundblaster Studio, which colored the bass and didn't allow the headphones to be flat. They come in a very well-packaged box, inside a bag and protected in a special compartment. The ear cups are very comfortable. They are not closed cups, so if you listen to music loudly or play games, be aware that you may disturb those around you. The fidelity and overall experience with these headphones are of very high quality, and in no way should they be considered a waste of money. Compared to gaming headphones that require software to work, here we are dealing with quality. I am not a sound expert, but just by listening to the same game with the old Hyper X Cloud and the 990, there is simply no comparison.

    In conclusion, I will say that while the price may be steep, as with everything, the saying "you get what you pay for" applies. This is not something you will change again, for the simple reason that it offers everything you need for a complete sound experience.

    Beautiful, lightweight, convenient, with a fairly balanced sound. If you like open-type, they are very good.
