How long have you use it?

I use it for a few days, so it will be a review hot, like the first impression, perhaps premature. I never write an opinion or rarely, but now I want because it's a kind of revelation guys.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

I tried all sorts of old crusts and the best tricks and finally the average premium. I have 5 years an AKG K271 MK1 and I really like 2 years a Sennheiser HD25 I like when I travel light. I shod, since, on my Sony MDR zoreilles of 7506, Beyer DT 770, Sennheiser I do not know what, AKG K171, Audio Technica ATHM-50 and nothing was so excited over headphones already in my possession even if these headphones are very good (with the exception of Sony, which is loud, aggressive and tiring).

What is so special that you love the most, least?

The DT 880 is a semi-open headphones, and then, finally, his breath against my AKG and especially my HD sounds like 25 or 2D. Ah yes, the sound is in my mind wanders into 6 distinct axes and variables: left-right, top-bottom, front to back. I feel like I'm on drugs ... is completely spatial. Comes with a leather case like the most beautiful effect nerd SM, velvet pads so its really, but then, very, very sweet, loving kittens as if two are coiling around my lobes. Yeah, and I can tell you that it purrs and more. Not really the definition is amazing, it's the very ultimate THE headphone I needed to supplement my monitors Dynaudios BM5A until further notice, of course.

Analytical and critical when an unforgivably bad thing is recorded or mixed, it reveals: breath, wow, saturation, sharp screaming, fuzzy or aggressive mediums, reverbs dégueus or too long, poorly compressed mp3 artifacts. And when recorded music is produced, what a treat, I would report the night! I listen to stuff from one hundred to fifty three days: how, why have I not heard before those details? As for bass, I think he has just the right dose.

I took the 32 Ohms, to be sure you have enough potatoes on multiple systems. Here I mainly used the headphone output of my card ULN2 Metric Halo, which has a preamp phones off-road and I notice that you still have a lot to attack the knob to get a reasonable gain: that is is to say halfway to the audio already mastered. It confirms my choice of this impedance. On an iphone it's good too though. The 250 version is not recommended matondit Ohms and 600 Ohms version is excellent with a headphone preamp serious audiophile type of out-of-cost. Ben is in good plugger on my sound card in my case, then hop, 32 Ohms.

How would you rate the quality / price?

I paid just under 200 zeuros and I think it's worth it. By reading the previous opinion, I care a little bit of longevity, but knock on wood and Inshallah.

With experience, you do again this choice?

Can we speak of experience after 3 days of use? No, of course, but to have used and tried other models, I think this headphone is really a good horse. To help you form an opinion, here again what I can learn about me, for what it's worth: it's been 5-6 years since I made the recording and mixing in the studio with sound engineers or alone at home when they call me, my hearing is preserved and I get angry very quickly when it sounds bad.
