I've had the 880 premiums since i saw this video in 2014. They are still going strong, no faults, very durable! Fell in love with them the day i got them and still do, wouldn't want any other phones for my home setup.
Just incase anyone is wondering. The 880s are superb for House, especially Deep House. Drums are really crisp.
The HD330 is 6 times cheaper than the dt880 and offers the same sound quality.
Can definitely recommend the DT770 Pro 250 Ohms. Bought them for a noisy dorm environment and they're ideal for my situation.
I picked up a pair of DT990 600Ohms a few weeks ago and I'm loving how comfortable they are. I wear them pretty much all day.
I have the 990 (250 ohms), my brother the 990 (600 ohms). They sound amazing. the base is stronger than the 880s but very tight. they are completely open. I'd recommend them to anyone who likes bass. from symphonic metal over electronic and dubstep to good ol' rock these sound amazing (paired them with a xonar essence stx soundcard) best money I've ever spend
Anyone getting a slight hissing in the audio?
No, you stupid a**hole. Maybe it's somehow connected to the audio, but still a faulty, distorted presentation by your gear. (I have good enough gear to hear basic faults like that if relevant, a Sennheiser HD 600 and ODAC/O2, though not even going to get into debates with conceited, manipulative idiots now, that is in any case better than most have, even many qualifying for Hifi. But there you, already dealing with so many idiots in advance [as proven by the upvotes though]...)
I think you'll lose anyone if the first thing you want to do is call them an Asshole.
BFKC hmm, isn’t that a bit rude, no one really cares about your gear or opinion on people. This guy (I assume) just asked a question if he was the only one, so maby he could just realize that he has a problen with his audio system. Just chill.
@@bfkc111 Who is really the stupid one here? It's not about gear, I have HD 600 as well as there is indeed a background hiss in the video. Not a lot, but he was just pointing it out, while you just blew it out of the proportions for no reason. If you can't hear the hiss, then maybe you should check your ears.
@@Leonhart_93 Yup, there's definitely a hiss throughout this video on my dt770 80 ohm's
I just bought the DT 880 Premium and they are great ! The sound is very precise ! I really do not regret my choice ! I use them for music listening, music production and mixing. They are super comfortable and light ! I don't even feel them on my head !
А какая версия у вас? Pro или Edition? 250 om?
God, your lighting is beyond perfect. Love overcast weather.
Tacticus Good thing I'm Norwegian :P
***** interesting. first time ive heard someone say that.
***** everyone on youtube does :(
Just a bit of info - "Premium" is not the official name. Beyerdynamic even made an official statement explaining that there are no Premium names for their products, but some distributors added Premium name instead of the official name, which is Edition.
So, I have seen the following variations of DT880 and DT990:
Pro,
regular non-Pro,
Edition (Premium),
Special Black Edition,
Pro Black Edition (seen this only on Thomann.de),
Premium Limited-Edition Black (Massdrop),
Pro Limited-Edition Black (Massdrop),
HZ (seen only on Beyerdynamic website).
And now also custom Manufaktur editions.
And also consider that many of those editions have subvariants with different impedances: 32/250/600 Ohm.
Oh, Beyerdynamic, what are you doing, please, stop confusing us!
"4 and 5 hour listening sessions, or even longer if you're crazy and you just want to sit there all day and use these."
O3O Umm, well then. When you mentioned long sessions I was expecting 8 to 10 hours.... Brb, gotta check if I have a life.
Didn't kill my eardrums, sound quality in this video is great sounded real.
You shouldnt let people fry bacon in the background when shooting a vid!
Agree on the long listening part. Not only are DT880 addictive, they're non fatiguing which allows you to listen for hours (honestly hours)
i actually find the dt880 to be the best looking/most stylish headphones out there :D
Owner of DT 880 premium 250 Ohm cans here. They are really good. Extremely comfortable, semi-open back makes them great for listening to all sorts of sound and music. One important thing to note that is not said in the video: The DT 880 Pros are designed for studio mastering. They are more sensitive to volume and pitch changes than the premiums. This can cause a suboptimal listening experience. If you get these, get the premiums. They are designed for listening. The bass is indeed tight, but I still find it good for electronic music. If you are looking for loose, muddy bass, these are not the right headphones. They are great for all-around listening and are great entry-level audiophile cans.
2:00 Actually on the Premium you can open the headband padding up on the top and put it back together. If you look closely at the top, the seam in the middle is actually where the two sides snap lock into place. It just means you have to open up the headband assembly with a screwdriver to get at it. The fins you mention at 3:25 are there to conceal that part (as well as for looks). Less convenient but looks a lot more subtle.
Also I have to disagree with you about you saying that "they're not as open as they are closed". I don't think they share any of the traits at all of a sealed headphone, and I think "semi open" is a bullshit term used by Beyer to try and make the DT880 seem unique among the DT770-DT880-DT990 line up. Semi open is kind of like saying a woman is semi-pregnant. You're one or the other, you cannot be halfway in between. The DT880 sounds distinctly like a "fully" open headphone to me, because that's what it is. When you open them up and look behind the driver there's a very clear, substantial hole that leads to the mesh. It's an open headphone. Just because the DT990s hole is bigger, that doesn't somehow make the DT880 only partially open. The DT880 also has a bigger soundstage than certain other 'fully' open headphones. Grado anyone?
Otherwise, good video. 880 600 Ohm premiums are my desktop headphone, they're good stuff.
SpinazFou Schiit and Mayflower do some good stuff, though I don't know if the o2 will get you up to 600ohms.
Two great headphones. I like how you first mention fit and comfort as its also my primary concern when choosing a set.
Personally, I prefer the DT990s, as they more closely match the Goldenears target, which is the perceived neutrality, rather than the actual neutrality of the headphones. I've heard them both, and plan on buying the 990s soon. I hope Beyer gave you money for this, because they've got themselves a new customer now.
Watching this with my DT880 Premium and an fii0 e10 elympus AMP and what I have to say is : Fix your mic man. No seriously the static really bugged me the whole video ^^. I surely cant be the only one hearing it right?
your not the only one
yes, it sounds very distant. so i had to open the volume a lot to be able to hear it properly.
Yeah, it's really not hard to fix the whooshing in Audition
I have the DT 770 pros. I love them!
this helped me choose the dt 990 600 ohm. they are out for delivery today so heres hoping they will change my listening experience
The DAC in the Note 3 is fantastic. I noticed a difference right away. The Note 3 should be able to power most cans no problem
The amplifier determines how much power is delivered. There is no such thing as a "powerful" DAC.
This is exactly the review I was looking for. Like... EXACTLY. Thank you so much for making this.
Power, made in Germany. I love my 880 Studio. Modded them a bit with tissues for reduced treble fatigue.
I had a DT880 pro for about 2 week until one of the drivers started to fail. I didnt like the soundstage of the lack of bass, they were also a little to tight, I returned them for the DT990 premium 250 ohm and they sound much better than the 880s, I have them connected to a audioengine D1 DAC and a Schiit Magni amp.
I have the DT 990 pro using a fii0 amplifier to push them with a USB DAC by Cambridge Audio and have to say I love them great sound they are my main headphones!
I'm using the 990 pro with the RME Fireface UC audio interface and the open sound on these are amazing! It's good for making all sorts of music (techno, electro and idm) on the pc, has a neutral sound, and is open so pinpointing folk in cs:go is a breeze.
The pros are my fav monitors for recording metal guitar at home. The slight bass boost is just enough (and tight enough) to make a mixable metal tone soung good when soloed.
I have the 600 Ohm Premiums, they are fantastic.
I forget I'm wearing my DT 990 Pros quite a lot of the time. They are incredibly comfortable.
I was listening this through DT 770s.
Premium/Standard just looks much better with the metal hinges and extensions, also has lass clamping force and is cheaper!! win-win
The correct clamping force of your headphones depends on how much product you have in your hair.
Other reviews have noted that the 32 Ohm are noticeably inferior to the 250 or 600 Ohm, are not tight in bass or treble, and are not recommended. I have the 600 Ohm plugged into a 5.1 receiver using my PC digital out and they sound amazing. They replaced my 12yr old low Ohm Sennheiser and are not as hard to drive as I expected with only about a 6 db boost on the volume knob needed. If you need an amp to run the 250ohm you can most likely drive the 600ohm.
Been looking for a while for a VS comparison on DT770 pro / DT 880 pro and DT990 pro as i'm undecided what to buy, I owned a pair for 10 years DT770 pro and my question is this, are DT 880 pro considered an upgrade to the DT770's? as I noticed you said the bass can be more stable on the DT770's? which is putting me off the DT880's.
if you're crazy and wanna sit there all day... YES this is the perfect headset for me :D
thank you for the white noise. My headphones are grateful.
Got the 990 Premiums.
Very happy with them.
Love how mid video I felt the side of my headphones after he mentioned the braille feature, Awesome pair of headphones
i grown to like them now but was kinda tizzy at first when i bought them new. my 600 ohms rocks now!
Thanks for the video, one of the best DT 880 reviews and comparison on youtube.
i just ordered the premium ones on ebay with soundblaster e1 headphone amp/dac that can support up to 600 ohms. mainly for music producing. can't wait till they arrive :)
thanks for the review :) I bought the 880 premium because of this video.
Beyer make the best headphones ever.. Got my 770 Pro's for about a year and they are awesome..!
I have the DT880 Premium 600 OMS There amazing beautiful sound ILove them 10 out of 10 for me
The fins stop the earcup extension metal piece from pushing too hard against the leather and warping it. This issue normally happens when you put them in a bag for traveling.
Damn it, I'm watching this with my DT880 (Premium), and I thought you're the same room with me!!!
Thank you you have helped me make my mind up with a purchase proving very indecisive
im going to buy the DT 880 in the 250Ω version soon ... cant wait
Really helpful review, thanks for putting this up
lo-fi music ending the show is terrible...but..your review was really excellent, sincere and very helpful. thanks ;)
Hi, thank you for the nice overview :)
My questions are:
1 - how do you think the 250 ohm ver works with a presonus firestudio mobile? (150mW/CH @ 60 Ohm load)
2 - According to your experience, which of the two cans are better for both worlds? (entertainment/studio) (honestly speaking i'm a bit concerned with the clamping force of the pro ver...)
Currently using Grado sr225i: in short, good sounding HP but quite uncomfortable :(
Very informative and well made. Thanks!
They are quite sibilant in comparison. They spike at least 3dB above neutral and it can get really ugly in some material. Still with some eq they are very detailed balanced headphones.
There's only a $17 difference between the DT880 600ohms and the Hifiman HE-400s now.
Flip a coin.

should've gotten the AD900x but oh well. The HD598 is fine enough for most people and hopefully you. The 900x has more soundstage and bass while the 598 is more for clarity, although the 900x does clarity as well, so....you know where I'm going. 900x = very good gaming cans.
but for future references, check out Zeos Reddit for recommendations on anything audio specific. He has a list for everything, DACs, Amps, Headphones, Speakers, Surround sound and receivers. No. 1 no bullshit reviewer
Have been waiting for this review!
Suggestions on headphones for producing music, to use with Audio Interface - Apollo twin solo
Genre - House - Tech House - Tropical

If you are looking to get these for your PC you don't really need an AMP.
Most onboard soundcards should be able to run everything to about 350ish-400ish Ω.
And if you are looking at the 600 Ω version you should have an external AMP anyways.
I have the 990s, and everything people talk about 'hearing footsteps exactly where they come from' with 7.1 surround sound headsets I can say about them ten folds.
I can't immagine the 880s being much worse, since they are the same drivers just semi open instead of fully open.
.
Every game just sounds so crisp, it actually becomes nice turning the ingame music for stuff like dota back on.
A dac doesn't make it easier to drive high impedance headphones, an amp does. Although many dac/amps come as combos if this is what you are getting at.
Matt Callinan Yeah, typo.
Excellent review, thanks, what you recommend now?
I will comment from my experience with the dt-770s that are pretty similiar to the dt-880s in terms of construction. I have to extend them to the fullest they can go for my head so if your head is big you should go to a store and try them on before buying.
Yeah, I think they are all pretty much the same set of headphones except that the 770 are completly closed, the 880 are semi closed and the 990s are fully open, not 100% sure about that though.
I have the 770pro's and I'm gonna grab the 880pro's to try out the open backed sound stage
You will love them. No regrets.
NatTheCat91 I'm sure I will, I already love my 770pro's
Excellent review Thanks so much
I know these are for studio use. But do you think they're good for PC gaming? Obviously I would need an amp. What sort of amp would you guys recommend?
soundblaster AE-5
very good DAC , AMP and gaming software
good overview man. keep up the good work
I like curly cables "Ibm Model M" :D
Major Difference .. HEAD-BANGING!!
600 ohm version is something special but it consume to much power on solid state amps, it looks like my tube amp got ton of power for it since they sing before I reach half volume
can I buy the pro with a slight discount from you?
I wanted to buy them anyway soon so this video was quite funny to see in my subbox
Good review. I just wanted to point out there's a very distinct hiss in the audio of the video.
Or maybe it's the music, but I'm not sure.
Since the Pros aren't available in the 600 ohm version, I wonder whether your preference for the Premiums has more to do with the impedance than with anything else. In other words, if you were to evaluate the 250 ohm versions of the two models, would you still prefer the Premiums or would you consider the two models to be virtually identical?
Hi thanks for the helpful video. Don't the Pros cost more than the Edition/Premium models?
I bought the Premium Version without even knowing :D they were much cheaper than the pros so I bought them, nice deal for 190€
Logan have a look at the Marshall Monitor, great headphones for their price and foldable for mobile use
In Germany the Pros costs more ;) I think its an improvement, you can switch the headband at the pros! at the premium you cant, what means: if the leather is damaged or the pillow after usin to soft, you cant replace them.... i think the pros are better :
I love the velour ear pads but personally they get compressed within a month for me and eventually they're not thick enough to prevent my ear from brushing the inside. Also, 30 to 40 bucks for replacement pads? Don't know about you but that seems rather excessive.
Hi, I just ordered the DT880 and the DT880 Pro just to try them both. Indeed, the DT880 Pro serves a little more head but it is not embarrassing, it's just different. But, I do not know if it takes a break-in or not, but the DT880 Premium is clearer in terms of sound, I hear much better music and details ... it's normal? I have a Focusrite 2i4 sound card is good for 880 - 250 Ohm ?
Hi Chris. Can you tell me what you prefer in terms of comfort? I wear glasses and don't like my headsets overly tight. Are the premiums too loose? And are the Pros too tight?
Я с вами полностью согласен, версия Edition, лучше PRO, в Edition есть хорошие верха и бас чистый, а в PRo этого не хватает
Вам действительно понравились 880? Вместо pro версии
I can wear my Sennheiser 558's all day without realising they are on my head. I haven't worn them longer than that though.
My next headphone to add to my collection will either be a DT880 or an Audio Technica 900X
Have ever tried the HD600? Was wondering how you think they compare.
HD558 or 598s imo have a much better sound than these. The sens have a slightly dark coloring of the sound which helps fatigue a ton!
Watching on the Beyerdynamic T1 headphones.
Why, If stated in a previous video that anything above 320 kbps is unnecessary (can't tell difference according to you) and a waste of space, would you spend the amount of money these headphones cost just to listen to mp3 quality music? Please enlighten me
Do you guys do pc reviews? If so could you guys do steam machine vids when they are released.
I am looking for a nice pair of headphones for listening to music (Rock and Electronic) and for gaming. Open headphones seem like the way to go and the Audio Technica AD ATH 700X looks pretty good but I am using ATH M50s at the moment and while the sound is nice and flat and great for monitoring audio, I find them uncomfortable after a while and they are not great for gaming as the sound stage is tiny. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
DT-770 pros highly recommend, you will most definitely not be disappointed on comfort and sound.
I'm in the same boat as you. I can't suggest specific headphones but if you want to keep the M50s you can go buy "Shure HPAEC940 Replacement Velour Ear Pads" which are a great replacement for the shitty stock pleather pads
Thanks for the advice!
dont be fooled by beyers model numbers the 880 and 990 doesnt mean they are better, the 770s are going for £109 from juno website
770's are closed. I am looking for open headphones.
what do you use to power these?
I figured you listen to metal on occasion. How would you say do the Beyerdynamic handle themselves with high speeds like blastbeats etc. Is the DT 880 "fast enought" for genres like Black and Death metal or have you had better headphones for those musical genres?
semi open and open back headphones has sound leak which is pretty suck and this is why they are more for studio
I just ordered a pair of 880 premiums at 600 ohms. My primary use for these with be mixing and mastering at my home studio. Do you have an amp you would reccomend that I get for these or should I consider getting the 250 or 32 ohms. I am working on a budget so what do you think my best option is. And what would be my ultimate option.
Try the Sennheiser hd 598s and I have a pair of Beyerdynamic dt 860 really great headphones these are a little out of my budget
When you say the 250 need an amp? How about if your connecting them directly to an audio interface? Such as the Roland quad capture?
So many things that I need to move when I move next month... DAC/Amp, Headphones, speakers, another amp for the speakers... hmmm what else.
Dang. 10 years out and I'm over here researching these suckers finding them to outdo a lot on the market in my pricerange
Also, that comment ar 7:00 earned a sub. That type of diction has only gotten worse as time has moved and its annoying as heck
I'm still using them
@@teksyndicate Not shocking, after taking the time to Demevalos Balanced Mod mine I can't change them for anything else I've tried
excellent review
I wonder why they cost more than the 770s and 990s.
The clamping force of the DT880 Pro get's less after about 3 months of using.
You guys should review the LG G2.
Nice set of headphones. I'm looking to buy some new ones because the ones I'm using right now, Logitech G930 isn't really the headset for me.
One question though: What kind of microphone do you guys use on the recordings of these videos? are there any upcoming reviews for microphones?
So aren´t the 880´s very similar to most Sennheisers? In the sense that they are clean and balanced but dont stand out in any manner? Maybe a bit boring? Please take a look at the HE-400 from Hifiman.
Thank you.
No not quite, the Beyers are brighter in the treble and not as "lush" or laid back sounding as the Sennheisers. So Sennheisers are a bit more relaxing, while the 880s are more exciting, but also moire unpleasant at higher volumes especially :) ( Compared to Sennheisers HD5 and HD6 series)
How is the T1's compared to these? Are the T1's really worth its price?
nice video thanks
