I tested and compared with the AKG K701, Ultrasone HFI-2400 Ultrasone Pro 750. These headphones I was looking for a headset for the labor input and the DT 880 Pro is among other products from Beyerdynamic like a standard in the studio everyday. So here are my impressions about this headphones and compared with other headphones
The package includes the DT880 Pro
- Headphones with 3m coiled cable firmly soldered mini jack 3.5mm
- Screw-adapter 3.5mm mini jack to 6,3mm
- Padded headphones Carrying Case
Not very abundant, I think (compare even know what will be delivered on Ultrasone Pro 750), but above I will ignore. The easy interchangeability of parts and good supply by Beyerdynamic, in the long term, here represented for me a positive counterbalance.
For comfort:
The famous velor are just very comfortable (like velvet on the skin) and the contact pressure is just right for me. The padded leather headband (removable with snaps!) Is pleasantly soft on the head and the single-sided coiled cable is now not so massive that an uncomfortable imbalance of the headphone is provoked. All in all, even after a long time for a soft feel and lightweight headphones are even. Weighed 284g without cable are compared with other headphones a flyweight (manufacturer's instructions must be regarded with caution, weighing like more). Also featuring with metal straps, leather headband, the Silberen earpieces gives a very aesthetic and the DT880 is certainly the most discreet headset compared. Here I am to longevity absolutely no worries.
The sound knows how to please and is good. For me personally but (compared) not been analytical enough. I found the slight emphasis on the bass just not to my taste and also the centers could act tidier. But overall, a headset that is fun. He just needs to meet only the personal taste.
