When it comes to music production, having the right pair of headphones can make all the difference. As a producer, I had the opportunity to test two popular models by beyerdynamic, namely the Dt 880 250 Ohm Pro and the Dt 770 250 Ohm Pro. Both of these headphones are praised for their quality, but how do they stack up against each other for music production? Here's my detailed comparison:beyerdynamic Dt 880 250 Ohm Pro:- Sound Signature: The Dt 880 Pro offers a balanced and neutral sound profile. The mids and highs are crisp and clear, allowing for accurate mixing and mastering.- Comfort: With its open-back design, the Dt 880 Pro provides long-lasting comfort during extended studio sessions.- Build Quality: Robust and durable, these headphones are designed for professional use.- Bass Response: While the bass is present and accurate, it doesn't overpower the mix, allowing for a true representation of the audio.beyerdynamic Dt 770 250 Ohm Pro:- Sound Signature: The Dt 770 Pro is known for its more emphasized bass response.

The choice between them may come down to personal preference and the specific requirements of your workflow.If you need a more balanced and neutral sound for precise mixing and mastering, the Dt 880 may be the better choice. On the other hand, if you prefer a more bass-heavy sound, the Dt 770 could be appealing, but be cautious, as it may lead to an unbalanced result in your export.In my experience, I found the Dt 880 to be more suitable for my music production needs, allowing for a fair representation across the frequency spectrum. Both models are undoubtedly top-notch, but consider your specific needs in production to make the right choice.

After my pair of DT-770s broke from a few falls, I decided to upgrade to 880s, and I don't regret having done so. I mix and master music, so I need headphones with a relatively flat response curve, and I'm happy to say that the 880s are very accurate and flat for the most part. The low end is detailed and the high end isn't exaggerated, which is perfect for mixing, but if you want headphones for casual listening, you'll find it underwhelming and a little boring.

The soundstage is excellent and the 880s provide a profound sense of width, making work in the stereo field much easier compared to closed-back headphone models. I have no trouble picking up the direction of sounds in video games using these, if that's something important for you.

The only true problem with the DT-880s is that they're not very comfortable. The sides of the armature tend to press against the crown of my head if I don't have them adjusted quite right, and the padding doesn't seem adequate enough. Wearing these for long periods of time could be irritating, so you might want to only use these for a specific purpose and limited time, such as mixing. Otherwise, this is an outstanding and detailed pair of headphones and I highly recommend them.

Update: After having used DT 880s for an extended period of time, I've begun to seriously resent the ergonomics of these headphones. The aforementioned inadequacy of the headband is still bothersome, although I've managed to finesse the earcup length in such a way that the armature doesn't grind against my scalp. However, now that most of the bulky weight of the headphones is resting on my ears, the hard rim around the ear pads has begun to dig into my earlobe, causing a painful blister. There's essentially no comfortable way to wear these, which is a real shame because the sound reproduction is incredible and this is easily the best pair I've owned so far. If you're a heavy computer user and wear headphones every day I recommend looking for a more comfortable pair, unless you're willing to endure. Perhaps I should also mention that this pair is really heavy and will stress out your neck muscles. Another minor gripe I have with them is that the cable is coiled, which means that your head is likely going to support the entirety of the weight of the cable, since it doesn't like to rest on the floor. The upper end of the cable always puts pressure on my neck, which is rather uncomfortable, and it also pulls at my headphone amp, which has sent it toppling to the floor a couple of times. I'm not sure why Beyerdynamic insisted on choosing to use a coiled cable, there doesn't seem to be any benefit and plenty of detriments. Still, since the pair functions so well, I can't honestly reduce my rating. What really matters is that I can mix on these and that the mixes transfer well.

These headphones shine with clear, detailed, accurate sound. The sound is not warm, not cool, but honest.

Tracy Chapman's voice sounds like she is right next to you.

Bass, treble and mids seem well balanced. I A/B compared these cans to an old pair of Sennheiser HD 800 headphones, which were a bit richer and more open. But I liked the realism of the Beyers better.

The Beyers did need more power and were less comfortable.

At the $200 - $300 dollar price point, the Beyer DT 880 pros are my favorite headphones for mixing, music production and podcast producing. Very accurate and your mixes translate well. I prefer them over the DT 770s, which have exaggerated bass. The DT 880s are also very comfortable (on my head at least) and I can work for hours on end without ear fatigue. At 250 ohms you need a good headphone amp (like those on high end interfaces) to drive them. The DT 880 pros are not for your phone or laptop.

Bang for the buck winner here. Audeze are in a different universe with a 1500+ dollar price tag but the Beyer Dynamic is a workhorse and not a significant compromise, all things considered.

These sound absolutely fantastic... after I bought an EPOS Sennheiser external soundcard and an external amp. The biggest thing to know about these headphones, they absolutely require an amp.

They are a bit tight on my big head, but I'm hoping that lessens over time. The bar is metal, which I prefer, as I've broken plastic connections on cheaper options from normal use (see big head). The cloth pads are comfortable. Being semi-open, they bring a nice balance of isolation and not overheating my ears in intense gaming sessions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love them

It's really hard to find headphones that satisfy me. These however sound great especially for the price, and I can confidently recommend them. They can be comfortably driven on a USB-powered audio interface. They ARE semi-open, but the sound bleed isn't as bad as you might think and you still get soundstage in return.

This is my second pair. On my first the plastic brackets holding the headband adjustment sliders in place stressed over time to the point of breakage. After this happened the earcups no longer sealed around my ears properly. I don't feel this is a quality issue, I used them all day every day for three years straight and wasn't always gentle setting them down.

The product sounds amazing! I have no more words about that regard, you can feel the quality of them.
As a side note if you are looking for full noise cancellation I would recommend the DT 990 over these ones, however, if you do not mind that aspect, I would totally recommend this product 5/5

5.0 out of 5 stars Flatter bass response than the 770 and 990

Bought these more for studio work than casual listening. I have the 770s which are more fun in the lower end but I was looking for a flatter bass response for eqing and mastering. Mids and highs are sharp. I had to stack a Mackie headphone amp to drive them louder than my Scarlett 2i2 was putting out and HUGE difference. Just be wary of the 250 ohms. If you don’t listen loud, then you’ll be fine. If you want some punch, get an amp.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great with an EQ profile
Reviewed in Canada on December 10, 2020

I use these headphones for music composition when I can't use my monitors. Stock sound is overly bright but with an EQ profile these headphones can be trusted (search for Sonarworks profile). Build quality is great. They are easily the most comfortable headphones I had, I can wear them for hours without discomfort or ear fatigue. The 250 ohm version requires a powerful amp to drive, a Schiit Magni Heresy amp barely drives them to uncomfortable sound levels and they start to distortion a bit below that point with bass heavy music. 3d sound placement is clear, sound stage is good but not expansive. They leak a lot of sound, not recommended if there's someone else around, get the DT 770 in that case. I rate them 4/5 due to the loud high frequencies out of the box but they're 5/5 with an EQ calibration.
