Simply put, the best headphones I have ever used. Build quality is outstanding. Very solid, but not heavy enough to hurt your head if you wear it for extended periods of time. When used along with my Beresford DAC and AMP, the Beyerdynamic DT880 is just orgasmic to use.

During my time with these cans, I've listened to my entire collection of music, played hundreds of hours of games, and sat with them on for durations of over 8 hours in the heat & cold

I use this headphone from another since 2009 in addition to the AKG 271 closed. I also have a Shure I'm testing for 1 year.

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

I wanted to love them. I really did. But it never happened. I like them, I appreciate them, no doubt, but I wouldn't call it love. Lots of people recommend these as the ultimate in revealing, flat headphones that do nothing wrong. And I agree to some extend.

Headphones are especially challenging to review. Because a headphone's frequency response depends on the ear canals of the listener, and each person's ear canals are different, a pair of headphones will sound somewhat -- or even substantially -- different to each person.
