[josin]

1.Prologue:
I was in need of a V shaped open headphone to compliment my other neutral headsets. My requirements before selecting the headset were
A) Good quality punchy Bass and clear highs
B) Open If possible
C) Should have very good comfort levels.
D) Should not be a Chinese made one ( I have nothing against china, but I have my own reservations about this)

After a lot of research I was so hell bend to buy Beyerdynamic DT-990-Pro-250, I initially though of buying it from US of A but to my surprise I came to know that Beyerdynamic have an Indian Division in Bangalore. I contacted their sales manager and he was so helpful to make the whole buying process as easy as it can be. The total cost for the set was Rs.13,511/- inclusive of all taxes (I requested them to courier it through my preferred service and the charges were Rs.1000/-).

Transducer technology

The completely re-engineered Tesla sound transducers help achieve almost lossless magnetic flux. This is made
possible by the brand new system geometry, which allows the transfer of magnetic force to the voice coil to be as efficient as possible. Traditional dynamic systems use a neodymium magnet at the centre of the system, the size of which was inevitably limited inside the voice coil. The Tesla principle sees the magnet mounted as a ring around the coil, allowing more energy to be directed to the membrane, which is exactly where it is required.
