Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro (250 ohm) for $120 after $30 MIR

The open-back over-ear Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro (250 ohm) are currently going for $120 after a $30 mail-in rebate, with free shipping, at Adorama.com. Details on the rebate in the PDF instructions. This particular rebate offer can only be used at Adorama and it expires 11/19/15.

PS: if you don’t want to deal with the mail-in rebate, $150 is not a bad price either. It still beats Amazon’s $160.

PS: if you can’t easily remember which ones are open and closed in this Beyerdynamic line-up, here’s a little mnemonic for the DT 770, 880 and 990. The higher the number, the more open they get. The 770 is closed, the 880 is semi-open, and the 990 is open.
