Taken from the Beyerdynamic professional products price list...

Other than the list prices...

DT990 - £136.13
DT990Pro £109.83

The applications/features and specs are identical.. apart from the connection
on the DT990's being listed as Gold-plated mini-stereo jack plug (3.5mm to
1/4" adapter). The connection on the DT990Pro is not listed...

DT990/DT990Pro

Applications
The DT990's open diffuse-field system allow the user to be aware of
ambient sounds creating an open spatial feel - important for professionals
who require clinically accurate high and mid-range reproduction.

I seem to remember reading it's something to do with the fixing of the
magnets: the 990s were sensitive to shock - if the phones were dropped
or knocked the magnets could become dislodged. This was fixed in the
990Pro.
This was only what I read a while ago and I'm quoting it from memory,
so can't say it's gospel.
