    A portable headphone with the sound of DT 880 ??

    That was my thinking.    As a producer I am very aware of this. Another reason I avoid using only one set of cans - By mixing it up you keep your ears "on their feet"; Metaphorically speaking. Helps to mix and master for the market.   Thanks

    I have found more reviewers comparing the T51s to the T1s.... high praise considering the differece in price!   I am close to hitting order on the T51s...   Oddly, the main "negative reviews" I have seen often get updated to people liking them more over time. Is Burn in ACTUALLY a thing with...

    Oooooh!!!!   Very useful!!.... As I had the P5s for about a week last year.   I loved them for a day. Then grew concerned. Then hated them and returned them.   They clamp. Their sound is far from natural... Laura Marling, for example, sounded unnatural on them. The acoustics didn't sound...

    Thank you all for your responses.   I am looking at the Beyerdynamic T51i / T51p   They look fantastic. Flat response (give or take).   They basically look like a portable version of the 880s, closed back, and designed to be run from an iPhone. Exactly what I am looking for!   Anyone had...

      Thanks! I admit to using the wrong language here. I am a little in the dark when it comes to "warm/cold" "light/dark" with headphones... I tend to use the words that feel right to me forgetting there are standards!   You are right. I am looking for the natural, uncoloured, open sound with a...

    Hey All     The title of the thread pretty much says it all... I am an owner of the DT 880 Pros, and I find the balance, soundscape, freq' response (i.e. flat as hell!) to be just perfect for my liking and daily usage.    As such, is there a portable headphone that has close to the same...
