The reference for the studioThe wide stereo image and balanced, transparent sound makes the DT 880 PRO a reliable reference point in the studio and a trusted companion for producers and audio engineers. The DT 880 PRO is a reliable tool for studio monitoring, mixing and mastering, as the highly sensitive transducers ensure the smallest adjustments in panning, EQ or dynamics can be easily heard. |
Outstanding Neutral SoundThe headphone has a unique spaciousnessy due to the semi-open design, so it has a very clear and wide stereo image. The sound is much more 3-dimensional than the sound of the DT 770 PRO. The DT 880 PRO impresses with its depth and detail even at low volumes. It reproduces soundtracks without colouration, providing optimal positioning of sonic elements in the mix so that every nuance can be heard clearly. |
Total Comfort and One-Sided CableThe sturdy steel headband gives the headset a secure fit. Soft, adjustable ear cups contribute to great wearing comfort for extended periods. The cable, which is attached on just one side, accommodates frequent adjustment and removal of the DT 880 PRO without cable tangles. Its extra light weight construction makes it very easy to wear. |
Difference from the DT 880 Edition version
The DT 880 Edition headphones for home and the DT 880 PRO studio headphones are identical in sound as the same transducers are used.
However, the edition models have a slightly softer headband for music enjoyment at home while the Pro model sits somewhat tighter on the head, in order to stay in position with frequent movements during a studio session.
In addition, the PRO version is delivered with a spiral cable and the edition version with a straight cable.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I had purchased these along with Sennheiser HD598's, and the AKG K-701's.
Wow did all of them give an amazing experience.
1. Let's start with the best headphones to jam out and go deaf with. The AKG K-701's...
Out of the 3, these require the most juice to power. Once you get its minimum juice from an amp, your sound is amplified at least 10 fold from what you were getting out of a straight 3.5mm jack.
Mind you, these sound amazing right out of the box and sound even more amazing AFTER burn in, everything is forward, NOTHING is lacking or hiding. Highs, mids, and lows all there-- just pure bliss. Now mind you, everything is so balanced and well blended that the sound-stage is utter crap. It works too well for monitoring purposes. You won't be able to focus on a bass guitar strum or a vocal solo if you wanted to.
The incredibly entertaining sound will make you forget about how uncomfortable the headstrap is, until it finally hits you. My ears hurt, the INSIDE of my ears hurt. You won't realize it, but these headphones push out some really strong frequencies and you will ignore it because of the enjoyment. If you're an EXTREME audiophile who looks to go deaf in the next year or so, by all means! Otherwise, this is where I DO NOT condone the AKG K701's.
2. Sennheiser HD 598's.
Extremely warm sound, incredible sound stage, and doesn't take much burn in time at all. These are probably some of the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. Mind you, the included cable is rather long so it MAY by the only thing that weighs your head down. But these headphones are perfect for monitoring and there is almost no flaw its sound when it comes to monitoring purposes. Or if you're looking for headphones to have a DTS/THX movie experience in, here you are. If you're here to have a wonderful music listening experience, here you go. Burn in these bad boys and you got yourself a worthy investment. But if you're looking for some serious bass, go elsewhere, these are NOT for you.
3. Beyerdynamic DT-880 Pro Headphones (250 Ohm)
I was really weary when other reviewers were talking about how neutral they sounded and it made me skeptical. But they just look so comfortable so I said what the hey. Upon arrival and right out of the box, I plugged them up and gave them ago. Neutral? Indeed. I was literally about to return them and then it hit me. The fact that the sound is neutral also makes the sound the MOST malleable! And the sound stage is incredibly huge. THIS is what you want for monitoring. And after a 60-hour burn in of a mixed-genre playlist on shuffle @ 320kbps quality, these became something that beat the Sennheiser HD 598's out of the park for me. The sound was immediately richer in all aspects. The Sennheiser has an impetus on warm sounds, while these become richer all around. Now on that note, these are also NOT for extreme audiophiles who want to go deaf with bass. But if you want pristine clarity, some genuine comfort on your ears, and practically unmatched sound from any other headphones, these are for you. What separates these from the Sennheisers is honestly the honesty in them. That neutrality demonstrates true sound reproduction; what comes out is what you put in. After a burn-in, they just become great all-around headphones, a remarkable investment. If you were to ask me, "Hey, what churns your butter?" I'd say these freaking headphones.
*And the comfort on these were just a little tight until I left them wrapped around their box, and boom, whole new world. It's like a pillow wrapped around your head, I would totally sleep in them.*
And remember. At the end of the day, to each... his own.
My signal chain is PC -> Oppo HA-1 -> Headphones / Powered Monitors.
These headphones are very close to neutral across the spectrum, and make great headphones for monitoring and mixing, as well as for critical listening. I've recently gotten back into writing music, and these headphones have made it much easier to produce a usable mixes. As an added bonus, I've been using them to listen to some of my favorite recordings, and their clear, neutral sound makes it easy to figure out what I like about the arrangements, identify the various moving parts more clearly. The soundstage is extremely precise, and the sound is very open and natural. It's very hard to describe how accurate they are, but it suffices to say that with a well-mastered acoustic track, it actually feels like I'm sitting in with the band. Yes, they really are that good.
Some examples: On Dire Straits "Sultans of Swing," the chorus has some very fine work on the ride cymbal, alternating between bow hits, bells and with the occasional wash thrown in. It's very easy to discern exactly what's happening in the drum section without losing track of Marc's voice and guitar or the bassline. On Procupine Tree's "Lazarus," the intro is very clear and all the instruments are well separated. All the vocal nuances are very crisp and clear. When the drums come in, there's real weight not just to the bass hits but also the toms and snare that really drive the rhythm. On Tal Wilkenfeld's "BC" it's very easy to keep track of all the instruments, even in places where the distorted guitar and synth play overlapping lines, and the bass joins in for good measure. The bass lines are crisp and clear, and you can hear the dynamics that Tal is playing very clearly. On This is a tough song to do justice to, but the 880s don't break a sweat. On Joe Bonamassa's "Blues Deluxe" the attack of the guitar (quite hard to reproduce since it's all in the transients) is very clear and well separated from the bass line - it's really easy to follow both lines at once, and the guitar sounds like a real live amp right in the room with you, and the breathiness of his voice comes through very clearly when he chooses to sing with more air.
I've also tried Audio-Technicas, Sonys and AKGs designed for monitoring, and these easily blow them all out of the water.
For casual listening, these headphones tie with my Grados (325is the latter do color the sound, but in a good way - *to my ears*) for my favorite sound. However, they are a lot more comfortable, and since they're less bright, also more usable for long listening sessions at higher volumes. They also have clearer and deeper bass, and are more suitable as an all-purpose set of cans.
Note: When I first got them, they had very little bass response (not uncommon with mid-range and high-end headphones out of the box) - the key was breaking in with pink noise for about 24 hours, which really opened them up.
Top reviews from other countries
This is a superb pair of headphones, the sound quality is excellent - for a discerning hifi enthusiast without an endless budget to spend! The frequency range is well balanced, the placement of instruments on the sound stage is precise and it is easy to distinguish what instruments (and voices) are playing. They have increased my enjoyment in listening to music significantly. Don't expect booming base from these, they are not rave party headphones, they are intended to provide a well-balanced listening experience and they do that exceptionally well in my opinion! For reference, my musical tastes vary from classical, to jazz, to 1970s and upwards pop and rock music.
As stated in the description, these are semi-open headphones, meaning that some sound leaks out and in. So other people close by can hear what you are listening to and it is also possible to hear background noise around you when you are listening to the headphones. But that will always be the price to pay for getting such a good sound stage, there is no getting away from that. That said, the sound leakage into and out of the headphones is not excessive and should not be a problem in reasonable situations. But they might not be appropriate in a location such as an office or library, or where there is a lot of background noise, eg radio/television or on a car, bus, plane, etc. In cases like that you would be better off with some good close-backed, noise-cancelling headphones. However, I do have some noise-cancelling Sennheiser headphones and the listening experience is far inferior to these DT880 headphones, because the noise-cancelling function does impact the sound quality.
The build quality is also very good. Note that there are different variations of these and other Beyerdynamic headphones, with different impedance values and headband comfort, so its worth checking out which ones will be most appropriate. The ones I got are 250 ohm impedance, which are most suitable for a hifi amp, or a good quality PC sound card, although I did get listenable sound levels from a mobile phone. The "PRO" version has a coiled cable, whereas the "Edition" version has a straight cable. The headband is supposed to be tighter on the "PRO" version, compared with the "Edition" version, but I find these very comfortable and do not move around on my head like some cheaper phones would. All-in-all I highly recommend these headphones for anyone who wants to sit back and enjoy listening to music without distractions from elsewhere.
Los utilizo para mezclar y masterizar por lo que tambien utilizo el plugin de sonarworks para compensar la curva de frecuencia. Con este plugin el resultado en cuanto a sonido es perfecto.
Super cómodos , los llevas puestos 3 h y ni te enteras.
La única pega que les veo es que no se les puede dar volumen. Al ser de solo 100mw a veces se me quedan pequeños.
Los he probado con varios amplis, Beyer A1 , O2, Sapphire, JLH1969 y en todos suena muy bien , pero bajos de volumen.
