$165 and no removable cable? These are the highest end disposable headphones I've ever seen..

PowerWafflesAnecdote time: I've had a pair of 990 since Jun 2014. The "Pro" version, which have a different grille but are otherwise the same as the pictured "Edition" version. Pro have the flat black grille, Edition has angled vents.
They're pretty robust, even with the fixed cable. Removable cable would be nice for convenience, but fixed has been perfectly fine for me.

mesaoneGood to know. It looks like a few people have modded to a removable cable as well, but that might be too much risk for me. If I'm going to spend that much money, I'd rather not start by tearing them apart.

PowerWafflesI have DT 770 DT 880 DT 990. The Beyer cables are more durable than any stock removable cable I've gotten from other brands. Not an issue. Beyers have always been my favorite for the price range when it comes to build quality, sound and comfort. Mine are all either 250 ohm or 600 ohm because I only listen to music at home on a good amp. If I could only have one I'd get the 880's (Edition like these, not the Pro's) The Pros have more clamp (not sennheiser 650 vice clamp but more than the Editions which are like soft pillows on your head). Some people don't like the 990's because the treble can get fatiguing. I won't argue with that. Then again, that's what the treble and bass knob or a software EQ is for. Recording quality, studio mixing, vintage and brand of amp as well as and media source differences are not equal and can benefit from eq. My 1966 The Fisher 550T is going to have it's own house sound, so is the stylus and vinyl regardless of which headphones I use.
