Beyerdynamic DT990 PRO (250 ohm) Limited Edition (straight cable) for $130 w/free S&H

Only the most dedicated of the Beyerdynamic fans can keep track of all the variations of the DT770/880/990 series off the top of their heads. I’m not there yet 🙂 But if you are a fan of the Limited Edition (straight cable; all-black color scheme) of the open-back over-ear Beyerdynamic DT-990 PRO (250 ohm) headphones, they are currently on sale, in new condition, for $130 with free shipping by Focus Camera on eBay as one of the many eBay daily deals over there.

PS: Easy mnemonic if you can’t remember which models are closed, semi-closed, and open. The bigger the actual model number, the more open they get. The 770 is closed, the 880 is semi-open, and the 990 is open.
