Right out of the box the 880s hooked up to a frequency generator easily manages 20hz to 18Khz (my hearing does not go above). At very high volume and on bass heavy tracks they literally jump on my head. Those can's are everything but boring. I'm using original cd's , .flac and .wav only ...

cool it guys... Don't forget the frenchman is new to HiFi hobby. It's the first good Hp's he has and he is probably discovering that a good headphone with crappy source will result in crap coming out of them. Ask him the right questions first before advising him to spend even more money ...

By now, you should have received your Beyer, what do you think of them ?

You're all talking about lack of warmth , i'm talking about lack of bass, my burnt-in K701 hooked up to a Yulong DAh1 + frequency generator could not go under 30Hz ... 10Hz-39.8kHz frequency response is pure bs ..

Don't worry, the DT-880 is an excellent headphone and i'm pretty sure you will love it. In case you don't like it, don't forget Tomann's policy , you have 30 days to send the item back for refund. Satisfaction guaranteed

yes, i know they cost both 211€ on thomann. Tough choice my friend.. How many hours a day do you want to use it ? I used both cans on a regular basis for music, movies and gaming. I am a no-life PC geek so i pratically lived with those headphones on my head for 2 years. I have a big head...

oh forgot to mention that the K701 can really hurt the top your head because of the bumps they added underneath the headband, But that's only after 3 hours of wearing them..

Of course the 250 Ohms are enough and they will satisfy you , i don't know what kind of headphones you have right now but i'm sure it will be a giant step forward. I haven't tested the 600ohms yet but since a lot of people here tested both and say that 600Ohms is better, that's the way it is.

On second tought the beyerd dynamic DT-770 version 2005 at 195€ exceeds your budget by 50€. Thomann sells the AKG K601 for 155 € and The Audio Technica ATH-AD700 for 144€. 30 days satisfied or refund + 3 years warranty. You'll have a hard time finding better prices in europe. AKG...

by the way, the best way to get the 600ohms version of DT-770, DT-880 and DT-990 is directly at beyer dynamic through their manufaktur site, where you can customize you headphone at will...

The DT-880 version '05 is more expensive and has a semi-open design, it has similar drivers to the DT-770 but it's semi-open architecture offers better mids and highs. The DT-880 is overall better than the DT-770 but exceeds your budget limitation. I've lived in Paris for years, Magma is a...

Hi, Do not buy grado headphones if you plan on doing long listening sessions. If you wear them more than an hour they will start to hurt. They certainly sound good but you'll have to be a masochist to go for a full album or movie with grado. Does Grado have an ergonomic research...

no grain, analog headphone out of front panel is good, why ?
