The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread

After wasting a lot of time fooling myself, I came to the realization that the DT880 600 Ω is complete garbage. It just distorts way too much. The 250 Ω is just as bad. I'm pretty sure the 32 Ω is the best version.

No joke, every time I had one of those "I've never heard that before" moments in a song, it was just the result of high distortion....

I've used amps varying from MacBook headphone out to 150 W per channel speaker amp and there was zero change in distortion. The whole God amp thing is a lie. It's either loud enough for it's not.

Save yourself and don't buy this headphone.
Gee, I didn't know your particular ears were the standard against which all headphone hobbyists should judge what they hear. Could it be that different sound signatures appeal to different people. Perhaps, you are the outlier and not the expert you think? Or perhaps you are. The point is, one man gathers what another man spills..

A Christmas song comes to mind: “Do you hear what I hear?…”

The headphone is objectively bad. 199 new price doesn't give u top performance in headphones, unfortunately.

I don't think anyone enjoys their drivers crackling and warbling :)

Besides the spades, let’s get the backhoes…PS…the distortion is harmonic…not dissonant…😆😜

I can top that! I run my OTL tube amp off a TDA1543 NOS DAC (the Chameleon)…
