Audio Technica ATH-WP900 vs Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO MKII

All Audio-Technica wooden headphones are hand-assembled in Tokyo. Earpads and headband are made from smooth, synthetic leather for long-lasting comfort. Diamond-Like Carbon coating applied to diaphragms to improve high-frequency response. Swivel-flat design enables headphones to easily be transported in included carrying pouch. Exclusive 53 mm drivers with powerful magnetic circuitry deliver exceptional full-range audio. Top-mounted PCB construction helps regulate airflow to enable precise diaphragm movement. Maple housings fuse thin slice of flame-grain maple on top of solid, machined maple for stiff, dense housings that look as good as they sound. Angled baffle improves airflow between the front and rear of the diaphragm for better low- to mid-range audio reproduction, and helps seal the earcup. The flame maple finish, provided by Japanese guitar manufacturer Fujigen, brings out the unique grain of each housing for a beauty that will deepen with age.
