Yeah⊠Waaaayyyyy overstating the power demand. @ZeosPantera and I actually agree these are excellent headphones but he still finds a way to make statements I just shake my head at. The 880 600 sounds pretty damn good on a liquid spark. They sound pretty decent on an Atom too. They really come alive with an Asgard 3. They are magic with a Darkvoice and good tubes. None of those are exotic, crazy powerful amps.

I might give my pair away. Have not had them long, but I think they are to neutral for my taste. Have not tried gaming with them yet though. But for music, they are not lively enough to me. They are great headphones, just not my cup of tea in tuning I think.
Great for gaming. For music, you need to run them on a tube amp. They sound really really good on tubes.

So⊠Zeos has now reviewed the DT880 THREE TIMES!!!
I find that they make great headphones for classical and other orchestral music and jazz. For rock and metal I still prefer an overall warmer sound. The 880 is still my gaming can.

On the right tubes, I enjoy them with classic rock and soul a lot. With some of my metal music, it is just too aggressive.

Have these coming in today from Amazon. Does anyone know if the black pair is different sound wise? Might pick up those as well cuz blackâŠ
The black earpads supposedly are brighter than the gray. As far as the headphones and drivers are concerned, theyâre the same. Itâs the black pads⊠you may want to buy a set of the grey pads if you find them too bright.

Just got these today but have yet to recieve my asgard 3. Tried them with my topping dx3 pro which actually sounds pretty good despite the modest ~65mW of power. Obviously not the perfect pairing so I will not comment too much on the sound yet but my god are these comfortable. Specially since I am used to heavy planars.

Are Beyerâs as picky with pads like the Senn HD 600âs etc are?..I used Brainwavzâs on my old 770 250âs
Not sure but I hear ya on the brainwavz with the 770 
makes bass even more fun and adds comfort but if I remember correctly I didnât like what it did to the treble
