Beyerdynamic DT 880 600 Ohm Review (Headphone)

[solderdude]

While the impedance plot looks terrifying to some

Below the actual effect of DT880-600 driven from 0.1ohm and 120ohm

Recievers/integrated amps of old (and a surprisingly amount of today's (AV)receivers still can have output resistances up to several hundred ohm.

Ideal open back for people wearing glasses
Below the frequency response with perfect seal, using glasses and with a complete loss of seal(pads slightly lifted)

Coincidentally, I wore the DT880s for years. One of the most comfortable headphones ever and they do sound good with glasses. Especially for movies, TV, and gaming where the slight brightness helps.

The data there makes the mod look kind of pointless, just use EQ.
