Although it has already been available for more than ten years, the DT 880 Pro had never crossed paths with our lab… until today. We were therefore finally able to test the latest member of Beyerdynamic’s trio of monitoring headphones, which sits between the DT 770 Pro (closed version) and the DT 990 Pro (open version). Unsurprisingly, this semi-open version did not disappoint us.

Obviously, the German manufacturer knows his stuff about this kind of helmets. The DT880 Pro is a success, as are the DT770 Pro and the DT990 Pro. This model still offers such a great listening experience by being a little wiser on the low frequencies than its brothers. Without this being prohibitive, the only small reservation concerns the treatment in the treble which can be a little tiring in the long run. In any case, this reference is a tool of choice for working or even simply enjoying music to the full, without breaking the bank.
Strong points
- Homogeneous, detailed and precise sound reproduction.
- Very nice reproduction of the soundstage.
- Low distortion.
- Comfortable.
- Easily detachable and replaceable pads.
Weak points
- The brilliance of the treble can become tiring on certain tracks.
- The pads get warm quickly.
- Cable not detachable.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).

With the DT990 Pro, Beyerdynamic offers excellent Hi-Fi headphones that can compete with most of its direct competitors, such as the Fidelio X1 from Philips. The headphones combine comfort, sound quality, power and excellent spatial restitution. For the most demanding, we can blame it for its protuberance in the high mids and its rudimentary look. It is therefore an excellent solution before upgrading.
