DT-880 Pro Black Edition : Awesome for mixing. Comfortable, transparent, spatial and versatile

5 years ago

I've tried some Audio Technica and Sennheiser headphones and I'm happiest now with these headphones.

They are extremely comfortable, which is a must for every producer/engineer who needs long hours mixing/monitoring.

The sound is really clean and spaced, so they might not be best for bass-heavy signature lovers. But they do sound quite similar to the Sennheiser HD600s. They do have some overemphasized treble frequencies that may need some time to adjust to but then they just provide a really reliable sound.

The build quality is pretty good, the design is really slick and they really win over competitors when it comes to comfort.

They are semi-open, so you can monitor recordings of artists in the same room without sound leakage into their mic, and you can hear when someone talks to you while using them, so you're not fully isolated.

They work great with any genre, to check mixes, to listen to music with a very high level of detail and to replace monitors with their relatively open design. Great value for money.
