Beyerdynamic DT 880 - 250 Ohm headphones, open back, really clean, used occasionally for hifi cd listening. Very clear sound.
At €90, this sits nicely below the typical used market for this model, with recent comparables centered around €115 and the upper/lower quartiles at about €125 and €105, so it reads as a strong-buy rather than just “fair.” Against new pricing, that leaves a sensible chunk of money in your pocket for pads or a fresh cable if needed.
The DT 880 is well liked for its open, airy presentation, precise imaging, and easy long-session comfort, which is exactly why it stays popular on the used market. An excellent-condition unit at this price is a good opportunity, especially if the pads, headband, and cable are clean and original; on a well-kept pair like this, the main upside is simply getting a classic, reference-leaning headphone for less than the usual ask.

Beyerdynamic traces its roots to 1924 Berlin, where engineer Eugen Beyer founded Elektrotechnische Fabrik Eugen Beyer to produce cinema loudspeakers for the dawn of sound films. Born in St. Petersburg in 1903, Beyer relocated amid the Russian Revolution, pioneering dynamic drivers that defined early audio reproduction. Post-World War II destruction forced a rebuild in Heilbronn in 1948, with his son Fred R. Beyer steering the family-owned firm through decades of innovation until its 2025 acquisition by China's Cosonic Intelligent, marking the end of a century-long German heritage.
The brand excels in headphones and microphones, launching the DT 48 in 1937 as the world's first dynamic headphones—a staple for sound engineers until 2012. It expanded into wireless systems, conference tech, and professional monitoring gear, serving studios, broadcast, film, and now gaming. While early efforts included amplifiers and loudspeakers, Beyerdynamic prioritizes transducers over consumer amps, DACs, turntables, speakers, or cables.
Renowned for durable, reference-grade professional audio, Beyerdynamic occupies a solid mid-to-high-end niche, blending accessible pricing with studio precision that appeals to creators and audiophiles. Its century of milestones—from micing royalty to touring icons—cements a reputation for reliability and sonic purity among discerning hi-fi buyers seeking tools that endure.
