Will everyones ears fit into these? I like Astro

My family stood side-by-side, ear-to-ear so we could all listen, but the headphones were too small to Fit “everyone’s ears into these”...plus my daughters ears get pretty waxy so the sound quality playing out of her ear hole would have been muffled.

What is the difference between the 250 ohm and 32 ohm models?

The Ohm is the unit of electrical impedance. It's a measure of how difficult it is for current to flow through the conductor. A conductor with a higher impedance will require a higher voltage to push an equivalent current level through it than one with a lower impedance. A 10-volt source can drive 40 milliamps (.04 amps) through a 250 Ohm impedance, but you only need a 1.5V battery to push 47 milliamps through a 32 ohm impedance. This is why 32 Ohm headphones are recommended for portable equipment (phones, etc), where low-voltage battery sources are common. A 600 Ohm headphone is more appropriate for studio work, where the amplifier driving them often uses +/- 15 volts (a 30 volt swing). A 250 ohm headphone is one that attempts to bridge both worlds - low enough to be used with battery powered sources, but "stiff" enough (electrically) to take advantage of the benefits that a big voltage swing provides, such as a higher s/n ratio. A lower impedance headphone (everything else being equal) does NOT require less power to use. In fact, it requires slightly more. But you do not want to use a 600 ohm set of headphones (in general) with a low-voltage amp such as one the one in your phone or laptop. Generally, they will not play as loudly, as they will require more current than the amplifier can provide into the higher impedance.

Do these headphones have a removable cable?

I have the dt 990 pro 250 ohms, and no they do not have a removal cable.

Will these completely encase the ear? I can't stand headphones that put the cushion on the ear instead of around it completely, only touching the head

As long as your head is not very large, it can wrap your ears. if you want choice 250Ω or 600Ω before you need Bought a Amp。

Superb soundstage.

I bought the 600 Ohm version since my headphone amp can drive it. Buy a 250 Ohm version for other home hifi. The detail I hear is unsurpassed and the soundstage is vast. Made a great choice.

Best headphone for the price!!!

These headphones are just awesome. Mids are super smooth and bass is tight and well separated. People with bass head who are looking for head thumping bass may not find these headphone for their liking. They are super comfortable to wear for hour long sessions. When you buy this headphone make sure you have good headphone amps to drive them.
