^ Indeed the Beyerlux / DT880cbs have very good soundstage, even compared to most open cans. T1s are not significantly better in terms of soundstage, clarity and speed/resolution, based on my memory listening to the same reference songs.

NoXter's clamps hard and isolates brutally, the SS is only work-to-rule hence...

Hello folks, I just got my DT880 Edition 600ohm (non-pro) today.

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or the headband has got no locking mechanism? They just move around easily like mad and I had to readjust it every single time I take the headphone off my head. 

If that is the design of it..I am thoroughly disappointed. I have a DT1350 and I love it, sturdy and it feels so damn solid so I went and buy DT880 but, I am certainly not impressed with it.

Also, I tried searching this thread for "Metal tabs" but nothing was found so maybe I can ask now, what's the metal tabs (that are not present on the Pro version) on the headphone for? purely cosmetic purpose? I thought it's for locking the headband in place or something lol.

EDIT:-

Ah I am too, awared of the headband deteriorating issue, is there anything I can do to prevent it from happening? :/

Yes, same with my DT880, and I find it very irritating. Every time I have to re-adjust the height of the cups. One side is worse than the other.

Don't know what the metal tabs are for. Looks?

Best way to prefend the headband to detoriate is to lay them down after using, and not hang them on something.

The dt880 driver fit into a Superlux HD330, right? Want to fit a 600ohm drive into a hd330 oder hd660. Can I use stock DT880 cap on any of them? As I like tight punch bass with impact do you guys think they would benefit from J$ pads? Really loved them on my 250ohm.

Is it possible to fit a beyer T1 driver into any other can? They sell for 150 here and could be a real bargain.

Red the could fit into a JVC RX700/900 but not sure.

It weird how this thread just halted from the original 3 that seem to be pioneering this. Any updates and newer versions done? I'm thinking of trying this mod.

Couple of questions, if I use the speaker backing on the cups and put the duct tape over them, I'll still need to install the felt? Or did the alubutyl replace having to put the felt?
