Well worth the investment
I have been using these headphones for 5 months now and they are proving to be a very good investment. The results of my recordings are proving to be very accurate over the months. I also use them to assess the fine differences in drum heads, shell materials and drum tuning. These headphones pick up the smallest adjustments and drum/head characteristics that are almost impossible to hear by ear. They are robust, comfortable and good for both listening for enjoyment and for mixing accurately. I would definitely buy these again.

Detail, detail, wondferful detail.
I use Sonar and compose music with it which is why I bought these. I don't consider myself an expert at all but I was just listening to Bowie's 'Heroes'. Never owned it, only hearing the Grooveshark version but there are things on that record that I had no idea about. I have just tested the bass response, in my own fashion. It's fine - at least for my purposes. Also I'm using a good USB audio interface, not the onboard soundcard, but I have no headphone amp and they are loud enough for me.

Fanastic headphones
I've been using these at work for 5 years now, and they have been absolutely awesome. The earpads are comfortable enough to wear all day without discomfort, and the sound is clear and balanced. My only complaint was that the headband started to become deteriorated after about 4 years. I purchased a replacement online which was actually for the DT770, but it fit on the 880 fine -- the pad just wrapped around the metal tabs on the sides instead of under them.

I wouldn't change a thing about these.
I use these mainly for production, switching with DT-770, depending on whether I want make noise around me. They're super comfy. I'm wearing them for hours without barely noticing. Sound is well balanced. Loving the "telephone" cable. Every time someone asks for a headphone recommendation I point them to the DT series by Beyerdynamics. I can't think of any cons. I guess I've become a kind of beyerdynamic fanboy.

You can hear every detail of the sound.
I'm a bit of a Beyer Dynamic fan, I already had some DT990 pro for general listening and several DT770 for tracking. The DT880 is much more transparent than the DT990. It is my new favourite headset. Great for mixing - I can hear every detail - although beware most other people wont be listening to your mix at this level of quality, nor with such a flat tonal balance. I can't imagine how much speakers that sound this good would cost.

Good stuff to use in home studio in context of high gain guitar tracking, mixing. I use this one with RME FireFace UC interface. Clean, real sounding headphones. If you are angry metalhead and you want to safe your family it is equipment to save your relatives. Good balance between all frequencies, very comfortable on head. For me it was a alternative for AKG 712 Pro (I couldn't afford on opened system).strongly recommended

Wonderful
Highly linear frequency response. With some smart equalisation you can make them truly flat. Very position independent and has great dampening (things sound clear and precise). The impedance is very suitable for usb powered interfaces. Extremely comfortable and suitable for moderately warm environments. These are semi-open headphones, so there is close to 0 no noise isolation.

Amazing High End 250ohm Headphones
I have used many semiopen headphones before. These are by far the best headphones I have ever owned. Very accurate and almost flat frequency response. You can hear all the details without any colorization. Reliable for mixing, mastering. Comfortable for long period usage. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who's looking for high-end semiopen studio headphones.

Sonic Velvet for your ears!!!
Comfortable, sturdy and most importantly, sonically accurate. It took me a few days for my ears to adapt from my old AKG's (which I thought were superb) but these cans just sound better and better with each passing day. You will need a headphone amplifier to get the most out of them but even a cheap solid state amp (Fiio etc) will produce results that your ears will love.

Excellent sound quality
At first they seemed to be too small for my head but when I got used to them I finally started to hear the sound quality and it is simply amazing. Very linear and clear like monitoring should be. I started to hear finer details I never noticed before. These are not street headphones, these are specifically for mixing and mastering and the quality is really high-end.

Wizard
Tells you where you've done mixing mistakes like an old & impatient katana master. No screwing around, it delivers amazing insights for the mix. Would buy again & again & again. Using it in combo with the HD25, perfect way to get a nice and balanced mix :) A bit heavy on the skull but it forces you to get breaks, which is a very good thing.

Really nice cans for critical mixing and generally listening to music.Comfortable to wear over periods of time and no real downside to owning a pair. Replacement parts easily available which is one of the things that atracted me to these over other headphones. Curly lead and adaptor come as standard and well packaged. Love 'em!

Great sounding headphones
I love the sound of these headphones. Makes it so much easier to do the basic editing work without monitors and on the go. Very well build. I have given 4 stars for comfort, because I get tired after a couple of hours of wearing these headphones, as I feel that they push a little too tight, but it is not really a big deal.

My favourite headphones
Yes, they are scooped, mids are recessed. But you can still hear all the details in the music, all the problems with your mix. Also, they are so comfortable you can wear them for long, long hours. I have 3 pairs of headphones on my desk and I reach for the DT-880's most of the time. They are my favourite.

Superb!
Easily the best pair of cans I have ever used. Essential part of my studio setup. I have had these 5 years now and I use them almost daily. That shows the building quality too. I have recommended DT-880s to absolutely everyone who have been looking for new headphones.

Excellent Pair of Headphones
Probably the most comfortable headphones you can get at this price, sound and build quality are amazing. Well worth the price. 250 Ohm impedance mean you will probably need an amp. Delivery time was spot on, very happy with the quality of service

Excellent
Very comfortable with clear sound, excellent kit all round. Feels like a quality, well made product, I recommend. Great for mixing and editing as the cups fit over the ear and stay in place but not so good for DJing I would say.

Great headphones
These are the best headphones I have ever owned. They do need an amp, but are still fine without. I use them with a focusrite soundcard, for mixing down and recording. Awesome sean

On me head!
Very pleasing to use, rich sound, which I gather is pretty neutral. A little tight on my XXL bonce, but not too fatiguing for mixing sessions. A jolly good purchase.

very comfortable and perfect sound for mix or listening. But be aware that with semi-open design they are not for recording - or you will record tempo slicks
