How to use

Connect the 3 m cable to an appropriate headphone output on an audio interface, amplifier or consumer device. Adjust the headband so the circumaural pads sit comfortably and form a seal around the ears. Use a moderate playback level to avoid hearing fatigue and allow the semi-open design to present accurate spatial cues. For critical listening, allow time for the headphones to settle in and for your ears to adapt to their sound signature.

Recommendations

For best results in professional monitoring, pair the DT 880 with a clean headphone amplifier or an audio interface with sufficient output power. Store the headphones in a dry place and avoid exposing the pads to liquids; replace ear pads when visibly worn to maintain comfort and sound quality.
