The DT880 are good entry level headphones but they are in the same tier as the ATH M50X and beyerdynamic's own DT 770/DT990. The Drop exclusive Sennheiser HD58X has better treble, mids, and bass resolution.
There's no reason to buy the DT880 anymore. Well, it’s still a suitable headphone for studio work but it’s awful for recreational listening. The sound has this thin, peaky treble that doesn’t give you more detail - it’s just boosted, and dry mids coupled with non-existent bass. The DT 770 & DT 990 are sold in way more quantities for a reason.
