DESCRIPTION
The DT 880 combines the strengths of open and closed studio
headphones. The improved systems of the legendary DT 880 now
offer a high quality headphone with excellent analytical properties,
especially for classical music. The DT 880 reproduces an amazing
sound spectrum, with clean, clear detail from the deepest bass to
the highest highs. The highs are crystal-clear without being
unpleasant, impressive even at low levels. The neutral balanced
mids are analytical and strong, without being predominant. The
DT 880’s bass is voluminous without being too obtrusive. The
single-sided cable, the soft ear pads and the padded headband
make the DT 880 extra-comfortable for extended listening sessions.
The DT 880 is still manufactured in Germany, providing an excellent
quality.

The 600ohm is a substantial improvement over the other versions it uses a lighter driver and is better through the entire frequency spectrum. The dt880 has clearer highs than the hd600 and is musical enough to not leave me feeling cold. I am still partial to the hd600 but the dt880 is excellent. This pair has about 120 hours on them and look beautiful. It is also the most comfortable headphone I have tried.
Thanks
