Is this the leather pads ?

Maybe I need the dt990 600 ohm? At least I will some bass rumble. I do like the dt880 just wish there was more deep bass. Maybe they are too good for my ears.

No, no. Those are plastic ear pads. You can't find leather pads at Thomann.

Are you opposed to EQ? You could simply just bump up the appropriate ranges...

You're amplifying the 880s and still don't have enough bass? I definitely think you want a different set of phones.

Perhaps so. Beyers really need an amp regardless of the impedance. Even the 320hm models need one in the worst way. If amping doesn't add more bass (which it did for me) then maybe getting a DT990 would be a better option.

What about the J$ pads for the Beyers?

I liked the 880s fine with the onboard amp from my sound card, but adding a separate amp made huge difference for the better in the bass.

BTW Zombie_X, I really want to thank you for this thread. This and listening to different phones at a meet made me choose the 880s and I couldn't be happier with them.

The DT990s can rumble, but it'll take a good EQ to make them hit the really low tones with authority.

No problem man. This thread is my way to help those who need help in choosing what beyer they need.

They are the exact same as the old leather ones that beyerdynamic used to make and they sound nice, especially on the DT770/600Ohm. The only downside tot hem is the price because they are around $70 I believe. Quite expensive so I can not recommend them new to anyone, so try and get them used.

Oh I wasn't planning on buying those pads since I'm very happy with the stock velour pads. They are quite comfortable and I enjoy the sound quite a bit with them. I was just giving another option for a leather type pads for Beyers. 
 
I'm curious but has anyone tried the Maverick Audio TubeMagic A1 with the DT880 600 ohms. I'd like to pick up a reasonably priced amp with some tubes and that amp seems to have some good reviews. I think my PPAv2 isn't bad for them but I'd like to try something different.

Ok. An even longer burn period has passed, and I have even more bass. This I like. For over 90% of my music the bass is very very good and powerful. The mids and treble are really good now. And comfort is amazing.

I intend to try a pair of the DT990 Pro 250 ohms soon, but have no intention of returning the 880s.

I might try and get the Aviation Gel pads just out of curiosity .

 

[Zombie_X]

No don't use the gel pads! They completely ruin the sound and make it muddy and too bass oriented on the DT880.

I use the cheap pleather pads on my DT770/600 (per Skylab's suggestion) and it gives me the bass I want plus adds to the isolation. I bought these but they are still overpriced: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/770456-REG/Beyerdynamic_906166_EDT_770_VB_Replacement.html
 
I will never sell these headphones, I feel they are 75% as good as my D7000's with much better isolation.

take down the item number and search for it on Beyers official site.  i got my replacement velours for 20$ less than the going rate that way

About $60 shipped by the looks of it.
