Death throes? I know mine is shaking (not vibrating) because it's scared.

Oops, I think my wallet just pissed itself.

Oooohh... Those 880s look comfy and cozy.

Simple and elegant, but nice and big to give plenty of room for your ears.

Just for kicks, I'm posting the specs (it's a 250 ohm phone):

Quote:

Technical Specifications Transducer type Dynamic Operating principle Semi-open Frequency response 5 - 35,000 Hz Nominal impedance acc. to IEC 268 250 Ω Nominal SPL acc. to IEC 268 96 dB T.H.D. acc. to IEC 268 < 0.2% Power handling capacity acc. to IEC 268 100 mW Sound coupling to the ear Circumaural Average pressure on ear acc. to IEC 268 2.8 N Weight without cable 270 g Cable length 3 m / coiled cable Connector Gold vaporized stereo 3.5 mm mini-jack & 6.35 mm adapter

So, whose gonna be the first kid on their block with a pair of these puppies?

Looks like 880 is a real promising candidate as my first Beyerdynamic headphone.

I'll probably wait to hear from DT931 fans.

Travelite, thanks for posting this! I will be getting the 880s. For a long time now I've wanted a headphone that combines the great bass of the DT770 Pro with a better midrange and treble...maybe this is the one! A frequency response that extends to 5 Hz is great!

The DT770 and DT990 have also been slightly redesigned - they now look cool:

And - this is very thrilling - the DT880 comes in an aluminium box!!

"The headphone comes in a stylish aluminium box. In this box you can keep your headphone safe from dust and dirt. A 5 m long extension cable is included."

Check out their newest pdf catalog for headphones:

http://www.beyerdynamic.de/com/maerk...IFI_E_2002.pdf

It's got some more pictures including nice pics of the DTXX0 series worn and a pic of a chick using DT831 in a convertable car. There's also a pic of a bIaTCH using the DT531 directly out of one of those cheap ass panasonic pcdp's

Either way, check it out.

Similar to the legendary DT 880 we introduce the new DT 990...

I found this line really funny, seeing as DT880 is the new kid on the block...

How about this then:

"Our designers took different human anatomies into consideration and made the headband more variable in lengths in order to fit perfectly on everyone's head. The tight headband pressure that is used for professional versions was reduced for this version to guarantee permanent listening without a "vice-like grip". "

Headband extends further, cups aply less pressure.

YEEESH I WANT THIS HEADPHONE!!!

Is that supposed to be funny?

HAHA.. no, but I see how it could be misunderstood... I hadn't read your reply before I posted.. Which BTW is rather funny.

 

[Joe Bloggs]

Has it got something to do with different anatomical parts?

 

[Flasken]

"Our designers took different human anatomies into consideration and made the headband more variable in lengths in order to fit perfectly on everyone's head."

Hmmm..

No, still not funny.

Actually, if you read Jan's post, the 880 is a revamped old design (albeit, possibly completely reworked). Sorry to burst your bubble.
