Beyerdynamic DT880 Premium 250-Ohm Headphones

Perusing the market for reference quality cans, you’ve found models that are too pricey or too neutral, but nothing in that sweet spot of affordability and endless listenability. Bringing you the best of the entire audio range in a package that barely puts a dent in your bank account, the Beyerdynamic DT880 250-ohm headphones are an audiophile’s dream, available to the greater public.

While most cans make you choose between open and closed construction, the DT880 splits the difference with a semi-open design that allows for increased airflow and a wider soundstage. The isolation isn’t as strong as with other high-grade models, but if you’re in the right environment, you won’t miss a detail. Bringing full depth and excitement to the entire range, the treble is smooth and extended, the midrange is transparent and detailed, and the bass is punchy and layered. With the 250-ohm impedance, you’ll need a headphone amplifier to hear every last instrument, but you can still receive decent sound directly through your music device.

As the DT880 covers the entire range without difficulty, it's ideal for all types of music and most impressive with dense electronic jams. To keep you comfortable and your cans in decent shape, the spring steel frame comes with a padded headband and soft ear pads, a minimalist construction that manages to maximize your listening pleasure. Terminating in an attached, single-sided cable with a gold-plated 1/8-inch jack, the Beyerdynamic DT880 headphones let you immerse yourself in high-quality music.
