The DT880s are BeyerDynamic's flagship headphones. Following on from their incredibly successful DT531, the later Beyers such as the DT770, DT880 and DT990 have captured many people's hearts with their unique sounds.

Incredible highs; Wonderful tight bass; Wide Soundstage; Comfortable

May be too neutral for some

Although most full-size headphones with audiophile pretensions have open designs that allow the listener to hear outside sounds, a few models are closed to hush ambient noise. The Beyerdynamic DT 880s have a semiopen design that combines the attributes of open and closed headphones .

The Beyerdynamic DT 880 headphones are among the most comfortable on the market, and they come packaged in a gorgeous padded aluminum storage case; The headphones use a standard miniplug connector but include a 1/4-inch adapter and a 15-foot extension cord

The DT 880s are expensive; and ill suited for use with the iPod

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.

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.

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

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.

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