You may wonder why you would need a high-end pair of studio monitoring headphones for ham radio use. Put on a pair of these and you will immediately know the answer. First, these phones fit around, rather than on the ears, making them very comfortable, even when worn for long periods.

I had not realised how different headphones can sound with the same input until I started searching for a pair to upgrade my old Beyerdynamic DT550 pair. These had lasted for more than 30 years and were very satisfactory. I listen mainly to classical music, from chamber music to opera.

I bought these 'phones for 'easy and relaxed listening' and found them to be excellent - these ones are the 250 ohm version as this is easier to mate up with different head-amps - I have not found any significant difference in sound to the 600 ohm version, apart from the amplifier loading.

I tried B&W P7 and purchased PSB M4U headphones before I bought these. I found significant difference between the PSBs and DT880. PSB was nice but this DT880s are way more comfortable; with PSBs I started to feel pain after 30mins, with these I forget the fact that they are on, after 30 mins.

Listening to music is such a subjective experience and there are so many good products that an individual may not find perfect for them. I believe that i have found a set of headphones that I can be perfectly happy with. The DT 880's are probably the last headphone that I will ever want to purchase.

I owned a pair of DT770s which had excellent sound reproduction, but these 880s are another level entirely. I now hear even the most subtle nuances with crystal clarity, which is the purpose of monitor headphones.

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...

Treble overemphasis; Needs amplifier for best results
