The DT 880 PRO is a reference-class, semi-open studio headphone which combines all strengths of open, transparent headphones with those of more powerful, closed headphones. Specially designed housings and an improved system equalization turn this “remake” of the studio classic DT 880 into an ideal studio monitoring headphone, with analytical qualities. Soft ear pads and adjustable, sliding, earpieces together with a single sided connecting cable ensure listening comfort during extended periods of use.

 The other difference is on the top here where the band is, the Pros have all these buttons. I use the 600 ohm version because if you have any device that has any audible noise it really brings that down a lot and also I like the fact that the bass is slightly tighter with the 600 ohm version and I confirmed this with blind testing between the 250 ohm version and I've never used the 32 ohm version. As far as the 250 ohm version if you wanted to get kind of a happy medium they are they do sound very good in fact almost no difference in that in the 600 ohm version if you have a nice transparent source. They can be powered with an iPod or a phone, some phones have a pretty decent DAC in them but the iPod was not quite loud enough to listen in a room with other activity going on

 It's almost like you forget that you're wearing them because they're just there. Now the clamping factor on the Pros is just a little bit tougher, they clamp down with about 30% more force and that's one thing that after a little while I really didn't know that I was wearing them because they do put a tiny bit more squeeze on your head. These have less of a clamping force and therefore in my opinion are a lot more comfortable. They still have the same pads and they're super soft to put on your head but the fact that there's a little bit less clamping force means you can't head bang with these guys

 So if you're listening to your metal and you want to head bang you just have to take them off and put it on speakers or maybe put these on. So that's probably the major difference for me, the clamping force. The other difference is on the top here where the band is, the Pros have all these buttons.

 I'm going to break it down and tell you what the differences are and then I'm also going to tell you what I think of this set of headphones in both the different flavors. I'm going to be keeping one and then selling the other one, but I got them both just so I can show you guys. Now the Pro and the Premium are slightly different, mainly in the fit and the feel and the finish. The one thing that you're going to notice with both of them is they both have the amazing velour pads, it's super soft, they completely go around your ear and they're thick enough that your ear doesn't brush up against the area where the driver is or anything like that

Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro and DT 880 Premium Headphones Overview

 What I mean about the sound being flat is that everything is pretty equal. You don't have any "fun factor" in the headphones.  Why the rating: I gave these a decent rating for what they are knowing that people using these for studio mixing and audio editing, but I also want people to know and understand that they aren't very good for music listening.  Final Thoughts: In conclusion, if you like a flat sound with no "fun factor" or you are using these for studio mixing, then they are perfect

  Cons -Sound Quality As I said, this is from a music listeners' perspective. Super flat and terrible for music listening in my opinion. Sound is a bit of just personal preference. You might like the flat sound and that is perfect

 If you are looking to listen to music with these, they are very bad. (this is my first review and I'm trying to be a very helpful reviewer, so any constructive criticism is welcome in the comments)

  Note: I am a tough reviewer and I am going to be looking at this from a music listening perspective.  Pros: -Comfort I feel that they are very comfortable. The clamping force is not too much and not too little for me. The headband is made out of a leather type material (I don't know if its real leather or leatherette), but it is very comfortable

  Why the rating: I gave these a decent rating for what they are knowing that people using these for studio mixing and audio editing, but I also want people to know and understand that they aren't very good for music listening.  Final Thoughts: In conclusion, if you like a flat sound with no "fun factor" or you are using these for studio mixing, then they are perfect. If you are looking to listen to music with these, they are very bad. (this is my first review and I'm trying to be a very helpful reviewer, so any constructive criticism is welcome in the comments)

Perfect for audio editing but very flat for music listening.

 So I got the Black Edition just because I liked the black aesthetics of them and I believe that the Pro has a little bit of stiffer band, a little bit more ruggedized build construction and it does have this coiled cable. It's just a little bit more rugged over time. It doesn't wear as much. So first off I wanted to talk about the build quality and the overall comfort

 So these are the Baradynamic DT-880 Pro Black Edition headphones. I've had these for about one year and they've really become a staple of my studio and I use them every day for mixing, mastering and production. The DT-880 Pro or the DT-880 is a semi open back headphone, so they're a little bit in between a full open back and an isolated headphone. I have found that they're the perfect middle ground for me between getting rid of a little bit of kind of ambient noise and still having that kind of open wide feel that an open back headphone provides

 These super soft kind of velvety ear cups and they're just so light that they are, I really believe, first in class for comfort. I can wear these all day long, day in and day out and have no issues and oftentimes I forget that they're on my head at all. In terms of sound, these headphones are absolutely amazing. The one thing I would note is they do have a little boost around the 4-6K range which I personally really like, but as long as you're using these headphones consistently, you're referencing using them and aware of that, I haven't seen any issues there

 They have a very flat response across the rest of the frequency range with no real peaks or resonances that I can hear and I have found them an amazing tool for mixing and mastering. They have just a phenomenal stereo image. It's just really world class stuff, especially at this price level and overall they just offer a clarity across the frequency ranges that have really allowed me to mix and master at a new level. Overall, these headphones are absolutely amazing and I highly recommend them

BEYERDYNAMIC DT880 PRO REVIEW || PROFESSIONAL OPINION JAKE KAISER

I want these headphones to pull double duty as my critical listening headphones while I’m at my desk (so I want good detail reproduction), but also as my gaming pair (so comfort and imaging are of paramount importance). Sound signature I’m looking for is either neutral, or slightly V-shaped.

 The Beyerdynamic DT 880 came in second. The Meze were quickly put back in the box and returned. These DT880s headphones are beautiful, and pretty darn comfortable. To be clear - these are quality headphones

 These DT880s headphones are beautiful, and pretty darn comfortable. To be clear - these are quality headphones. However, I could not pull myself away from the spaciousness and "reality" of the AKGs. These 880 headphones were just not as clear and spacious

 It is important to me that the headphones equal or surpass this. Sadly, the Meze don't quite reach this. My son brought over the Beyerdynamic 700 series and I felt the same way - but he loved them, but he never got to hear these or the AKG 712s. I should point out these are $100 less than the AKGs

 This also feeds my JBL Pro 5" powered speakers and a Jamo 8" sub. The sound I get with this without headphones is amazing. It is important to me that the headphones equal or surpass this. Sadly, the Meze don't quite reach this

 All of these are modern, high quality audio productions. I listen through my iMac which feeds into the a MusicStream DAC and then into the Schiit Audio Magni amp. This also feeds my JBL Pro 5" powered speakers and a Jamo 8" sub. The sound I get with this without headphones is amazing

Good - but not good enough.

Ciao guys,

I am considering upgrading my headphones, which should I consider? 

(open back, under 600$)

Upgrade Advice!

 Can wear headphones for two hours comfortably; something that has not been possible with any other headphones that I have previously tried.  Audio quality is very clear ranging from 'good' to 'headphone-ish'. Quality of recorded material is very important. Overall sound quality seems very much less than my 5

Purchased these headphones to allow listening so as not to disturb others. Comfort is very good. Can wear headphones for two hours comfortably; something that has not been possible with any other headphones that I have previously tried.  Audio quality is very clear ranging from 'good' to 'headphone-ish'

 The 1/4 plug size matched the headphone amplifier outputs that are part of my system so felt that this was an O.K. trade.

 When this common (ground) connection disconnects the headphones reproduce the difference between the left and right channels monaurally. The listening effect is that of the centered featured instruments or vocalist dropping out and much of the bass may be lost; the overall volume is noticeably lower.  There was another review that described this effect and concluded that the headphone sound quality was very poor rather than realizing that the headphones had a fixable problem.  Having an electronics background I cut off the mini plug and replaced it with a 1/4" phone plug purchased from Radio Shack

Great comfort and a technical problem

I really do not know. You tell me. From what I understand the 800 and 820s have a lot of high end that I don’t believe I want. I hate Sibilance and love the kind of relaxed high high quality sound of the 600s. But am interested in exploring my options for a step up. 

Not being super difficult to drive is a big plus. I’ve only done it a few times but the 600s with a iPhone lighting to 3.5mm adapter actually works and sounds fine. 

I could get a more portable DAC. But that’s a lot of stuff in the pockets and wires and what not. I Iike to walk around listening to music and take photos with my phone (music source). 

I actually use Etymotic ear probes and Bose 700s much more often for that reason. Smaller, easier to deal with when out, one being wireless. 

I mostly just use the HD600s for occasional serious listening at home. And for making music. I make music and have gotten used to the 600s enough that I can make a decent mix with them without needing a big super treated room. I would either need to keep using the 600s for recording and mixing music, or the new ones would need to be a similar profile. 

Anyways. Recommendations? 

I think this is more of a general question / resource as the 600 / 650 / 6xx are so popular. 

Open to price ranges but spending more than $1,000 is a hard sell for me. I think some Focals are about $1,200? I’ve got multiple hobbies pulling my wallet and believe in diminishing returns.

<div class="md">— Edit - you guys talked me into the Focal Clears but only because heqdphones.com has them for $990 and they have a 365 return policy. If they are not a Nice step up from the HD600 I will send them back. I feel like I’m burning money here and the difference will be small. But I take good car of gear and would expect them to last a very long time. Though I see that replacement pads are really expensive I think? That’s lame but I never had to replace the pads on my Senns. —

What’s the next logical jump up from HD600s - with a similar sound but higher fidelity - without an outrageous budget?

(Equalized) --> Behringer UCA222 --> O2 amp --> DT880 = amazing.
