5: beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro
The DT-990 Pro from Beyerdynamic secured fifth place among the best-selling studio headphones of 2025. Available in two versions, the 250-ohm model is the most popular but requires a decent headphone amplifier or powerful audio interface. The 80-ohm model is compatible with more devices.
