Perfect

Could not be more happy with these headphones. I did a lot of research and so many folks recommended the DT 880 Pro over the DT 990 Pro. I wanted comfortable 'phones for critical listening. I have not listened to the DR 990 Pro. Maybe the are better??

Better than PSB & BowersWilkins

I tried B&W P7 and purchased PSB M4U headphones before I bought these. I found significant difference between the PSBs and DT880. PSB was nice but this DT880s are way more comfortable; with PSBs I started to feel pain after 30mins, with these I forget the fact that they are on, after 30 mins. Being an open can it has a more natural feel to the sound except of course, I cannot isolate myself from the surrounding as easily. I literally heard sounds that I was not hearing with p7 and psbs.Base is adequate for me, (I listen to rock, hard rock, industrial, classical)the mids and highs are all there without any over emphasize. the only con side is the portability other than that phenomenal headphones.

Do these require a headphone amp? If so, any recommendations?
Asked by: Greg
Yes, the Beyerdynamic DT 880 PRO Semi-Open Dynamic Studio Headphones (250 Ohms) do require a headphone amp. For a very basic option for one person, you can use the Kopul HAMP-MATE-B1 Balanced Headphone Amplifier (B&H # KOHAMPMATEB1). We have many options for headphone amps and it would be best to have you contact us so we can find out what type of application you will be using the headphones for and then make a recommendation based on your specific needs.

question

What is semi open design?
Asked by: Anonymous
The backs of the earphones partly allow air to move giving a more open field sound but also allows sound to be heard by those nearby.
