A Wonderful Addition To My Headphone Collection
Color: Gray
I would like to preface my review of these headphones with the following: Everybody hears differently, and everyone “listens” differently. We don’t all enjoy the same types of music, and similarly, every set of headphones is not necessarily suited for every genre of music. We all own different source components, and most of us have a limit as to what we are willing to spend on our gear. I believe every headphone review should include a brief summary of the reviewer’s musical tastes, sources, and gear and should always including references to other sets of cans they own, have auditioned, liked, or disliked. With so many variables affecting peoples like or dislike of any pair of phones it is my goal to help those with similar musical tastes and similar gear to determine whether or not these headphones will be a good investment for them personally. So with that in mind; I listen to music in practically every genre. I tend to go through different phases, but I enjoy Mozart as much as Metallica, 80’s one hit wonders and New Orleans Jazz, Lady Antebellum or Lady Gaga, Eminem to Zedd. Music has so much to offer in all genres that one could spend a lifetime discovering new things they like. I use my computer to play all the usual manner of digital files, and an Onkyo C-7030 CD player to handle disk duty. Both feed into my Nuforce Icon DAC/Headphone Amp. The digital files via USB and the CDs via analog RCA (the Onkyo has excellent onboard D/A conversion). I use no equalizer to modify the sound. I will also be receiving a Little Dot MK2 ii in the next couple days and I may update this review once its well broken in. My headphones include Sony MDR-V6s and MDR-7506s, V-Moda Crossfade LPs and M-100s, Audio Technica ATH-M50s, Sennheiser HD 598s and HD 600s (my personal favorite along with these 880s) as well as my 4th pair of Koss Porta-Pros (easy to exchange when you live in Milwaukee) . I’ve tried Grado SR 80s and SR 225s (just too darn uncomfortable), the Beyerdynamics DT 990 Pro 250 ohm, and my son even owns a pair of Beats Solo phones (Yuk). The other day I threw away some old Denon’s (no clue what model, but circa 1990) and a set of MDR V600s that were both totally worn out. I also own lots of buds as well (my Klipsh X10s and S4’s being my favorites). As I briefly mentioned, I had tried the Beyerdynamics DT 990 Pro 250ohm headphones. In fact, I had tried the 990s and returned them prior to purchasing the DT 880 Premium 250 ohm set. The 990 Pros are very well built high quality headphones, I just wasn’t happy with the exaggerated high and low ends and the subdued midrange. I blame myself for not doing enough research prior to that purchase (and for being cheap), and I would still recommend them to people who like that type of sound. They really do sound good, but their signature just wasn’t for me. I’m much happier with the 880s having listened to them for a couple weeks now. They have a much more “up-front” midrange, and while they’re still pretty bright, they don’t have nearly as much “sizzle” as the 990s. To my ears, the 880s sparkle a bit more than my Sennheiser HD 600s, but the Senns have more pronounced mids. The bass seems well defined, though I wouldn’t mind just the slightest bit more of it (and yes, I’m nitpicking). At first I was wanting for more middle from the 880s as well, but after a lot of listening and experimenting with different genres of music I know when to use them and when to use different cans. The soundstage the 880s create is excellent as well. Since I’ve gotten into open headphones, and since I’ve found several pairs that I really like, I find it incredibly difficult to throw on a set of closed cans anymore. I’m also amazed at how the 880’s can sound so big but not leak as much sound as ALL of the other open headphones I own/have tried. I don’t want anyone thinking they don’t leak sound; they just don’t leak as much. Like any other open phone, you need to be in a quiet environment to truly enjoy them, and everyone else in the room will hear what you're listening to. The 880’s power-handling is excellent and I really had to push them to create any type of distortion (Coldplay’s “Magic” will buzz the heck out of my Senn HD 598s well before these 880s or my HD 600s). The 800s can handle complex musical sections without issue, and had no problems whatsoever with anything I threw at them. They are a little less sensitive (db) to input than my HD 600s, but I have no problems driving them with my Nuforce Icon DAC. I am also looking forward to seeing how the 880s (and all my phones) play with my soon to be arriving Little Dot MK2 ii. Another element that I have always felt is essential to a fulfilling headphone experience is comfort, and the DT 880 Premiums excel at it! The 990’s I had were the Pros, and they were a bit tight on my melon. I can’t speak from experience about the 880 Pros, but they do have a different headband (similar to the 990 Pros), and are designed to clamp tighter than the 880 Premiums. It only takes a short time for my 880s to disappear on my head. They do absolutely nothing in terms of discomfort, to take away from the listening experience. As much as I enjoy my HD 650s, they still grab you tighter than the 880 Premiums. If it weren’t for the 600’s oval shape, as compared to the 880’s round cups, I probably wouldn’t be able to wear them (the 600s) for extended periods. If you do a lot of moving around, however, you may want to consider the 880 Pros. As comfortable as the Premiums are, I could easily sneeze them off of my head they clamp so lightly. I like that the velour earcups are replaceable, I have no issue with the long straight cable, though I wish it was detachable, and I appreciate the 3.5 / 6.35 mm screw type plug. The carry case that comes with the premiums is also a nice touch. All in all the Beyerdynamic DT 880 Premium 250 ohm headphones are an excellent set of cans. I’m proud to own them, and I highly recommend them. My only advice to shoppers is that they research the Beyerdynamic line and understand the differences between Pro and Premium, the 32, 250, and 600 ohm impedances, and the unique sound signatures of the different models. ... show more

Beyond Satisfied
Color: Gray
Hey there, I'm coming in with a review because these are extremely noteworthy. MIGHT I NOTE THAT THE ONES I AM RATING ARE THE PRO 250 OHM'S!!! 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. ... show more
