If you like headphones, you already know both about Beyerdynamic and more specifically about the DT 880 headphones. They're a great combination of great sound and comfort. What's new is the limited edition all black version of the DT 880, called, ingeniously enough, the Beyerdynamic DT 880 Black. Tech expert Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ had a chance to check out the DT 880 Black and found them just as delightful as the regular DT800, but with some improved style and design...

a custom all-black edition of the dt 880
0:02
let's check these out Dave Taylor here
0:12
and I'm checking out these these are the
0:13
beyerdynamic dt 8 80s but they're the
0:17
all-black limited edition you can see
0:19
the styling very nice now these are
0:22
really Studio Headphones with 250 ohms
0:25
of impedance but boy do they sound nice
0:27
if five to thirty five thousand Hertz of
0:30
frequency response 96 decibels SPL and
0:34
the sound it's like super good clarity
0:38
and it's just it's a really flat neutral
0:41
sound if you like headphones that really
0:43
pump up the bass or something these are
0:45
not for you but if you're listening to
0:47
classical or jazz or really any music
0:50
where you just want to hear what they
0:52
recorded and not have your sound system
0:54
reproducing something different then
0:56
these are gonna work really well but
0:59
again these are really for the studio or
1:02
something similar but here's the thing
1:05
is that if you have any sort of
1:06
amplification system you're good to go
1:08
so that means if you have a phone nap
1:11
it's not gonna work
1:12
few of a computer it's gonna work but
1:15
it's not gonna get very loud but if you
1:18
have an amplifier even like this this is
1:21
the audio engine d3 DAC so it's a little
1:25
tiny amp so I can plug this into like my
1:28
HP computer and then plug the headphones
1:31
into the end here and you know what even
1:33
things like Spotify sound really really
1:36
nice there's just a cleanness to the
1:39
sound then there's a nice soundstage
1:41
they're really these are the kind of
1:43
headphones where you put them on and you
1:45
close your eyes and you just didn't you
1:48
just can visualize what's going on
1:50
around you and you can hear every
1:52
instrument if you're listening to
1:53
classical music you can hear the
1:56
mistakes you might not want to hear the
1:59
mistakes but that's the level of clarity
2:00
of these headphones have the other nice
2:03
thing is they're really comfortable so
2:04
the top band is actually something they
2:08
call leather at which I assume is maybe
2:10
a manufactured leather
2:13
and then the earpieces are actually out
2:15
of the lure and this is a circumaural
2:17
headphones or earphones so you know you
2:21
put them on and you get a nice sense of
2:23
the sort of space of what you're
2:25
listening to and then the only other
2:27
thing I should talk about is the cord
2:29
which is not coiled but it's nice and
2:32
long it's nine point eight feet it's a
2:35
three meter cord how does a lot of cord
2:38
this is gonna give you a lot of freedom
2:39
if you have this plugged into your
2:40
soundboard while you're working on that
2:43
next album you're gonna be able to move
2:45
around and get to the other board and
2:47
maybe add a sound effect or whatever it
2:49
is you need to do you're gonna have a
2:50
lot of space because you got a nice long
2:52
cable with this now
2:54
weight-wise there are 10 ounces these
2:57
are crazy comfortable they're really
2:59
nice but you probably already know about
3:01
the dt 880 because this is already a
3:04
popular headphone so what makes these
3:06
different is that they are the all-black
3:08
edition and I gotta say they are pretty
3:11
slick professional looking headphones I
3:13
really like these the sound is terrific
3:16
but you need something that can drive
3:18
this you need something that has the
3:20
power so if you're gonna be plugging
3:22
this into your iPhone or your Android or
3:24
something it's gonna be a little bit
3:26
disappointing so make sure you match
3:28
that with your impedance so the only
3:30
other thing to talk about is the price
3:32
but hold on before we get to the price
3:34
do me a favor and click on that
3:36
subscribe button
3:37
awesome and if this is useful thumbs up
3:40
appreciate that too now these
3:43
beyerdynamic dt 880 black will cost you
3:47
two hundred and thirty nine dollars at
3:49
amazon.com and they're only available
3:51
from projector Supercenter and actually
3:55
that company has worked with
3:56
beyerdynamic for this custom edition
3:59
they sell them through amazon which is
4:00
nice so you don't have to worry about
4:02
all the nuances of different urls but
4:05
when you go onto amazon look for dt 880
4:09
black and that's how you find these me i
4:12
think i'm gonna plug everything back in
4:14
i'm gonna go back to my Spotify and I
4:17
