Circumaural Studio Headphones!
The Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro headphones are an outstanding choice for extended listening sessions, monitoring while recording drums or amplified instruments, or for general-purpose stereo listening! The DT 880 Pro headphones' semi-open design gives you the strengths of both open and closed headphones. You'll have just enough "air" when tracking instruments while still having the isolation you want when using open microphones. What's more, you'll find that the lushly padded headband makes the Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro headphones extra-comfortable for extended use.

The best of closed and open designs
The DT 880 Pro combines the strengths of open and closed headphones. Semi-open headphones solve the "I can't hear myself" problems often associated with recording drums or amplified instruments using closed headphones. Your players will hear an ideal combination of live sound plus monitor source from the DT 880 Pro, with minimal leakage.
Exceptional frequency response and stereo separation
The DT 880 Pro reproduces an amazing 5Hz-35kHz sound spectrum with clean, clear detail from the deepest bass to the highest highs. The highs are crystal-clear without being unpleasant and are impressive even at low levels. The neutral balanced mids are analytical and strong, without being predominant. The DT 880 Pro's bass is voluminous without being too obtrusive. These headphones will inspire you!
Comfort assurance for long sessions
You'll appreciate the DT 880 Pro's high comfort, thanks to its reduced headband pressure and a soft headband pad. The soft earpads and headband pad can be easily replaced. The single-sided, coiled cable is fitted with a gold vaporized 1/8-inch stereo jack plug and 1/4-inch adapter. The headphone comes in a stylish nylon drawstring bag that keeps your headphone safe from dust and dirt. The DT 880 Pro is a serious contender for recording, mixing, and pleasure!
Reference-grade monitoring — no room required
While the Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro sounds amazing on its own, Beyerdynamic’s Headphone Lab software elevates it into the functional realm of reference-grade monitoring. Free to DT-series headphone owners, Headphone Lab is a studio-simulation plug-in that re-creates the sound and spatial behavior of professional studio monitors in an acoustically treated room. An indispensable asset for engineers working in less-than-ideal environments, the software employs advanced crossfeed modeling, HRTFs (Head-Related Transfer Functions), and optional room simulation to deliver a natural stereo image, accurate depth, and reliable spatial perception, while also optimizing tonal balance by utilizing a scientifically developed studio sound profile. Headphone Lab allows you to fine-tune realism by adjusting ear spacing, head circumference, and speaker angle. Moreover, you can select between a broad-stroke Standard Calibration based on what Beyerdynamic refers to as its Golden Sample or an ultra-precise Factory Calibration using the exact production measurements of your actual physical headphones. Compatible with major DAWs on Windows and macOS and requiring no subscription, Headphone Lab provides a convenient, cost-free way to achieve mixes that translate consistently across various playback systems.
