Product details

The semi-open headphones dampen external noise without completely isolating the listener, providing a harmonious sound experience. The DT 880 Edition has been part of the beyerdynamic portfolio for over 20 years and remains highly popular. This classic in the 250-ohm version is now also available as a Black Special Edition.

The DT 880 Black Special Edition sounds very neutral and relaxed. The bass reproduction extends very deep but is not overly emphasized. The headphones sound very transparent, and the individual components of the music are clearly distinguishable. The semi-open design allows some ambient sound to enter and escape, but it dampens it more effectively than an open headphone like the DT 990 Edition.

The DT 880 Edition (in the 250-ohm version) and the DT 880 Black Special Edition are acoustically identical. Both headphones also impress with the same excellent wearing comfort. The Black Special Edition additionally features a particularly high-quality processed headband. Furthermore, the Special Edition is delivered in an exclusive headphone case. Both models (in the 250-ohm version) are designed for use at home with a stereo system.

The DT 880 is very lightweight for its size and has a comfortable fit due to its carefully selected materials. The ear pads are known for their breathable and skin-friendly velour. This prevents excessive heat buildup even during extended listening sessions. The combination of a comfortable headband and ear pads provides a pleasant fit during long listening sessions.

  • Positivehochwertige Optik
  • PositiveKlang
  • Positivesehr neutrale Abstimmung

    Der Kopfhörer überzeugt mit einer tadellosen Verarbeitung und einem top Design. Der lang ist neutral und der Bass kräftig, sodass der Musikgenuss hoch ist. Zudem ist der Tragekomfort hoch und auch nach langem Tragen ist das Gefühl angenehm, sodass auch über einen langen Zeitraum dem Musikhören nichts im Wege steht, wobei aber die Geräuschunterdrückung von außen besser sein könnte.
