2.has an over-the-ear form
Beyerdynamic DT 990 Edition
Shure SRH1540
Comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This model is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors. It offers potential for maximum bass and loudness levels.
3.has a detachable cable
Beyerdynamic DT 990 Edition
Shure SRH1540
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
4.weight
290g

We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.

5Hz
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
2.highest frequency
35000Hz
25000Hz
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
3.has passive noise reduction
Beyerdynamic DT 990 Edition
Shure SRH1540
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
4.sound pressure level
96dB/mW
99dB/mW
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
5.impedance
32 Ohms
