The DT 880 is available in 3 impedances with 32, 250 and 600th The DT 880 Pro are only available with 250th
After a few tries here an empirically derived recommendation:
- The 32er for small devices with low output power - there it pleasing plays loud, but it conceals also not a bit the most misserablen soundchips many audio devices. Wen the sound source has no good converter to such an outstanding headset is not worthwhile. For some Apple devices, there is an external headphone amplifier, which are operated via the dock connector, which greatly enhances the pleasure of device
- Going to operate the 250 on a mobile device, but joy comes not. For this in most cases is the sound chip is not powerful enough, the battery is empty and fixed the volume may not be enough to one or other sound-receiver. Especially with the bass of the 250 is to mobile devices is not a good choice because this it is just not enough supply pressure and together with the neutral vote on a positively formulated unemotional sound. At all ordinary middle-class amplifiers, this model does, however, are a pleasure to play strong, neutral and ExtraM plastically with wonderful spatial resolution.
- The 600, I have not tested and would assume that due to the difference between the 32er and the 250 without a potent (phono) amplifier no joy is to be expected.
The Pro version comes in contrast to the normal Edition Headphones with a spiral cable instead of a smooth wire and has a slightly higher pressure. So if you as a criticism of the normal DT 880 criticizes the low contact pressure, which is, if the 250 is suitable, please refer to the DT 880 Pro. In addition, the DT 880 Pro black forks and lacks - unlike the local products showing a normal DT 880 - the lateral plate. The label is printed at 880 Pro DT directly to grid.
This should also meet 880 per those who can live better with the heavier spiral cable and its eventual train than with the risk involuntarily to rise to lying on the ground cable of the normal DT 880 DT.
Acoustic are the differences - provided the appropriate setter - not significantly. All have in common is the wonderful finely resolved reproduction over the entire frequency range, which is often referred to as analytically, but is not to be understood as a party pooper. Especially when well blended films or clean recorded pop music you do hear with the headphones everything the producers have the piece given in the studio - the sonic space is reproduced precisely that one can firmly heard in instrumental pieces on an instrument and the remaining Performers take a back seat. At the film look deepest bass rumble clean and crisp around the room, while each part is clean-locatable and simultaneously bombarded high, fine sounds like pins on the eardrum. Only much more expensive speaker systems in a well-equipped listening room or even more expensive headphones exceed these acoustic precision.
With these characteristics, the DT 880 (Pro) even a reasonably cheap ticket to the true listening pleasure. The excellent mechanical construction (build like a tank), the availability of spare parts and the experience Beyerdynamic has invested in these headphones, also ensure that the pleasure of very long duration will be.
