I have a pair of DT990's I got 10 years ago that have held up just fine to abuse of my workday -- frequent on-and-off, a few drops. If I was buying a pair for dedicated listening it'd be the Ananda's, but if you want something a little more durable my recommendation is the Beyerdynamics. I read the Ananda's are easy to drive, but I'd say both would benefit from an amp. The 250Ohm pair requires it for decent output.
depends on what you like / want out of a headphone.

if you listen to classical music and are looking to critical listening then you should probably lean towards to Ananda.


If you want a more exciting headphone that is good for gaming and general listening, movies and such. I would lean towards to DT1990

However if you are sensitive to treble you should avoid them both because they both have they super high end,more so with the DT1990 but both have some pretty intense treble.


You would 100% need a headphone amp for the 250ohm DT1990s. There is a chance Anada's could be pushed with just a cell phone, they would be better on a headphone amp but you could at least get something from them on just a cell phone. The DT1990 you aren't going to get anything so you must have a AMP and a good amp at thatt. 250Ohm is hard to push.

Well, My case is a bit opposite to your statement.

DT1990 is better in instrument separation and critical listening. More use for Studio use. But Ananda is better suited for pretty much for any occasion though. It handles many dac/amp so well, for example, I use IFI Gryphon, Go Blu, Chord Mojo2, Shanling H7 and A&C Kann Max for portable all around listening. Ananda can handle very High Volume so much better than DT1990 without any distortion. and if you boost Bass then you can feel so much better attack with Ananda. Also, DT1990 is more sensitive to treble region and with higher volume, it can be distorted.
So to me, Ananda is more exciting headphone for day to day casual listening if it fits your head well. The unit is very big and the adjustment isn't much flexible. and you are going to look so weird.
You must use an AMP to drive both. without it, the sound will be very tiny and you won't fill the full potention of these cans.
At home desk, I also use IFI Micro Signature, A&C Acro CA 1000 and some Schiit Stacks.

That's a great deal for some phenomenal headphones!
I'm almost tempted to buy a second pair...

I just received my Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro from Newegg, and the contents of the box looked dusty, like it might have been a return. To test it out, I plugged straight into my phone, and the volume on the left side is significantly lower than the right side. Is this normal (without an amp) or a defect?
