Ninja uses the beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro as his main set of headphones because they boast great sound sensitivity specs, especially when it comes to the Impedance Level. Additionally, they offer great comfort with the soft viscose earpad material.
The beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro are great studio-quality headphones despite their relatively modest price tag. These headphones have a high impedance level of 250 Ohms which offers better sound quality than regular low-ohm headphones, but such a high impedance level usually requires a headphone amp or DAC to drive it up to regular volume levels (as phones and laptops generally only support lower impedance levels. Read more about impedance levels on headphones).
These open-back, over-ear, dynamic headphones are great for music production and recording purposes. Their SPL handling is decent as well as their Frequency Range.
Naturally, Beyerdynamic headphones are stylish when it comes to aesthetics and are often made out of good material, providing good comfort. Considering the modest price tag, they are excellent headphones that offer great value for money.
Here is an example of Ninja wearing the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro from one of his latest videos on YouTube.
