Beyerdynamic DT 860

 

With decent build quality and high performance for the price, the Beyerdynamic DT 860s are over-ear cans that offer impressive audio quality. Though their open backs mean they don't leave the computer, they're great for home use, and don't disappoint...

Great frequency response ; Strong distortion performance ; Solid tracking results

Not comfortable at all for larger heads

Great set of cans for the price.

The Beyerdynamic DT 860s are a great set of cans for the price.

The DT 860s perform at a high-end level, despite toting a mid-range price.

Beyerdynamic DT 660 and DT 860 headphones

 

I liked Beyerdynamic's DT 880 headphones, but I wasn't exactly champing at the bit to review the cheaper DT 860 and 660. I didn't think they'd be interesting, because at a glance they just looked like somewhat cheaper versions of the 880. They're not a...

There's a niche market of people who want great sounding full-sized, yet folding, headphones for use with a portable player as well as at home. They'll be rather interested in the 860s, and even more interested in the 660s. Otherwise, though, the 880s...

Beyerdynamic DT860 review

Justifiably expensive, fine-sounding headphones and wonderfully comfortable, too.

Beyerdynamic DT 860 review

 

Ideal for musing over tunes at home, these open-backed cans are great for real musos

Great trebly sound, comfortable, perfect for music buffs

Bass could be better, no 3.5mm jack

Beyerdynamic DT860

 

Like the Sennheiser HD 650s, these open-backed headphones are for altogether more serious music buffs – there isn't even a 3.5mm adaptor in the box. They're basically saying, “Yeah sure you can use us with an MP3 player… but it'll be like using a...

A proper pair of hi-fi headphones for £100 less than the Sennheisers, these are an excellent buy, easily beating the cheaper headphones here for audio quality. The toppy sound won’t be to everyone’s taste but these are punchy rather than shrill and for...
