beyerdynamic DT 880 PRO Headset - 250 OHM

Product Information

The 100 Hz to 4 kHz region is not exactly flat but the curve is quite even and doesn’t have any resonances, this helps them sound more neutral in the mids than most of the other headphones out there. case” is a more travel friendly clamshell but it has no padding on the inside and is less stacking friendly for an office or desktop. I would say this has the best high ends I've heard in any headphone I've tried out, but that just comes down to a matter of taste. The DT 880 PRO is a set of semi-open over-ear headphones, with a matte chrome finish on the back, and a matte black finish on the metal ear forks and band.

looks like the first version of the DT880, introduced in 1980 and sold until 1984, until it was replaced by the DT990.I would like to see scans of your catalog if possible - I only have Beyer catalogs from the 70s and 60s. Btw, one thing I didn't know before, the E-piano output power is sufficient even for high-impedance headphones. Therefore, for portable devices, the more sensitive 32Ω version will play louder, and most portable equipment is designed to work well with low-impedance headphones.

Premium versions have specific ‘rail’ to stabilize and control the yoke when user shortening/elongating them. The Valhalla powered all headphones without a hitch, I am just nitpicking here to rank them in hopes this will be informative.I also wrote beyerdynamic back then have a letter from them confirming the DT911 was also DF equalized. The rear of the pads look identical, but I noticed the velour material goes farther back on the 880 pad before the seam. NAD Viso HP50, Koss Porta-Pro, Custom reshelled UM3X, Fiio FD5, Blon bl-03, Tin T4, Moondrop Blessing 2, Dunu dk3001 Pro. For that reason, and because they are lighter and more comfortable than the HE-400, the DT880 are my most-used headphones. High sound pressure level capability, excellent isolation from ambient noise, and comfort over long periods.

Although the DT880 is semi-open, and clamps well, it does leak sound, and allow ambient noise in (like all open headphones). Pressure on the top of the head is very well spread out, no spaces on the top of the head can be seen with them on. Design: The Overhead wiring style, non removable cable, headband cushioning are the main concerns in the design area of The DT880. I wanted to see again what the difference is between not only the 250 ohm and 600 ohm versions but do some analysis of the “black edition” that is all over the place. Under that is a much thicker and denser black cotton material glued to the center to offer some dampening.Neutrality and a high degree of spatial imaging are the strengths of the DT-880 series and one of the reasons why it has been a popular tool in the studio, and with demanding hi-fi listeners for over 20 years. I have the DT-880 Pro (250 Ohm) model and also own and regularly listen to a Hifiman HE-400, Sennheiser HD600, Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (80 Ohm), V-MODA M-80, and others.
