dt 880 pro

The Studio Classic

A tried and tested design - popular with the professionals and music lovers alike.

Professional users all over the world have relied on our classic series for years: DT 770 / 880 / 990 PRO. As a studio reference they shone with detailed resolution and a very transparent sound.

The DT 880 PRO is the semi-open studio headphone with its natural and neutral sound, perfect for long monitoring and mixing sessions in comfort due to the permeable ear-cup design.

Features

The reference for the studio

The wide stereo image and balanced, transparent sound makes the DT 880 PRO a reliable reference point in the studio and a trusted companion for producers and audio engineers. The DT 880 PRO is a reliable tool for studio monitoring, mixing and mastering, as the highly sensitive transducers ensure the smallest adjustments in panning, EQ or dynamics can be easily heard.

Outstanding Neutral Sound

The headphone has a unique spaciousnessy due to the semi-open design, so it has a very clear and wide stereo image. The sound is much more 3-dimensional than the sound of the DT 770 PRO. The DT 880 PRO impresses with its depth and detail even at low volumes. It reproduces soundtracks without colouration, providing optimal positioning of sonic elements in the mix so that every nuance can be heard clearly.

Total Comfort and One-Sided Cable

The sturdy steel headband gives the headset a secure fit. Soft, adjustable ear cups contribute to great wearing comfort for extended periods. The cable, which is attached on just one side, accommodates frequent adjustment and removal of the DT 880 PRO without cable tangles. Its extra light weight construction makes it very easy to wear.

Difference from the DT 880 Edition version

The DT 880 Edition headphones for home and the DT 880 PRO studio headphones are identical in sound as the same transducers are used.

However, the edition models have a slightly softer headband for music enjoyment at home while the Pro model sits somewhat tighter on the head, in order to stay in position with frequent movements during a studio session.

In addition, the PRO version is delivered with a spiral cable and the edition version with a straight cable.

Product Description

The DT 880 PRO is a reference-class, semi-open studio headphone which combines all strengths of open, transparent headphones with those of more powerful, closed headphones. Specially designed housings and an improved system equalization turn this “remake” of the studio classic DT 880 into an ideal studio monitoring headphone, with analytical qualities. Soft ear pads and adjustable, sliding, earpieces together with a single sided connecting cable ensure listening comfort during extended periods of use.
