Of course they are.
If they provide a substantially better listening experience, at a lower cost and with passive noise-damping and less use of technology prone to failure, that makes them 110% relevant to the discussion at hand.
- lethologica 7y agoNo, they’re not. The marketing on the companies own site even agrees they aren’t noise canceling. “The semi-open headphones attenuate ambient noise, but do not exclude it completely” https://europe.beyerdynamic.com/dt-880-edition.html https://europe.beyerdynamic.com/dt-880-edition.html These are very different products.
- josteink 7y agoSorry. My bad. My experience are with the 770s[1], which are closed and has amazingly good passive noise damping. I don’t miss ANC one bit. [1] https://europe.beyerdynamic.com/dt-770-pro.html https://europe.beyerdynamic.com/dt-770-pro.html
- rconti 7y agoAnd one reason they "last" is because they're not subject to the same use profile (eg, traveling) that the wireless ANC models typically are.
