DT = Dynamic telephone

HD = Headphone dynamic (which would be dynamic headphone in German because adjectives and nouns are reversed in many romance languages)

HE = Headphone electrostatic

At least I think these are correct. There may be a bit of loss from translation, but still.

I wish most of the headphone companies (Sennheiser, grado, grado, beyerdynamics) could name their headphones by an "actual" name, instead of a string of like "HD 555" or something. Thats what bose does. That way, I might actually be able to remember all those headphones that sennheiser has and differenciate between them. Plus its more catchy to say "Triport" instead of "Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro"..

You're not looking high enough: Orpheus, Omega, Lambda...
