Go to solution Solved by minibois,

I currently have these headphones (the DT 990 250 Ohms) plugged into the 3.5mm of my monitor. When I max out my volume, it legit hurts my ears. I usually have my Windows volume at around 40%.

To me, I would consider that being fine to drive, but of course everyone has their headphones at different volume, but I can't imagine you not finding that loud enough.

 

Also, I have answered like 3 DT 990 pro thread in the last week.. What is up with that ??

I just got a pair of DT 990 and i am thinking about returning them. I see all these post about people saying it hurts there ears and i have a good dac amp and i can go full blast and it just dont sound loud. I think i am going to exchange for a new pair.
