Classical music enthusiasts need look no further - these headphones punch well above their weight. Neutral sounding, their lack of colouration makes for incredible transparency and a clearly defined soundstage.

The Beyerdynamic DT 880 Edition in the 600 Ohm version is a great hi-fi headphone and especially suitable for lovers of classical music and acoustics. Those who like to immerse themselves in music and sound should definitely try the DT 880.

The DT880s are extremely comfortable to wear and have a lovely tonal balance, I would certainly recommend them.

I first purchased these almost 5 years ago and they've been my "daily driver" since then. One of the most important aspects I was looking for in a set of headphones was comfort. Prior to these, I owned a pair of Grado SR60is and while they were okay sound quality wise, there were murdering my ears.

Despite the option for a 32Ω set of headphones, nobody should really be considering the DT 880s-or any open backed headphones-for mobile use. However, if used in the right situation, these cans are gold-despite the silvery exterior.

Soft cushion comfort with the perfect grip, plus a sound that has impressive all-round ability.

Amazing headphones. Got the 600Ohm version with a sw8 headphone amp for producing music, and everything sounds great!

Headphones are to speakers as motorcycles are to automobiles. Not as generally useful, sure, but significantly better in some respects. And a whole lot cheaper for a given level of performance.

Beyerdynamic appears to have taken a leaf out of the car industry's book by keeping a product name from years ago, but then completely changing the design. No doubt this will ensure havoc on eBay in years to come...

Comfortable to wear

Less bassy than most headphones
