Beyerdynamic DT 880 bedrade halfopen stereo on-ear hoofdtelefoon zwart zilver

The Beyerdynamic DT 880 Wired Semi-open Stereo On-Ear Black Silver is a semi-open dynamic headphone manufactured in Germany that blends characteristics of open and closed designs. It reproduces the full sound spectrum accurately, from deep sub-bass to high treble, and is built for both comfortable long listening sessions and reliable durability. The soft ear pads and circumaural ear coupling provide comfort, while the semi-open construction offers detailed imaging with reduced but perceptible ambient sound.

Advantages

The DT 880 delivers excellent sound localization and a detailed frequency response (5 Hz–35 kHz). Its semi-open design attenuates ambient noise while preserving some environmental awareness. A robust build, 3 m wired connection and comfortable soft pads support extended use in casual and professional settings.

How to use

Connect the 3 m cable to an appropriate headphone output on an audio interface, amplifier or consumer device. Adjust the headband so the circumaural pads sit comfortably and form a seal around the ears. Use a moderate playback level to avoid hearing fatigue and allow the semi-open design to present accurate spatial cues. For critical listening, allow time for the headphones to settle in and for your ears to adapt to their sound signature.

Recommendations

For best results in professional monitoring, pair the DT 880 with a clean headphone amplifier or an audio interface with sufficient output power. Store the headphones in a dry place and avoid exposing the pads to liquids; replace ear pads when visibly worn to maintain comfort and sound quality.
