These don't sound like DT880s
The Beyerdynamic DT880 has long had a reputation as a neutral and clear headphone, with excellent detail and soundstage. So that's what I was kinda expecting.
Unfortunately these Drop editions seem to have been tuned to be more bassy, so they don't much sound like DT880s anymore. Imagine a DT990 without the shrill top end, and that's closer to what these sound like to me. Consequently, they have more boomy midbass, less detail and poorer resolution than the other pair of DT880s I own.
I don't necessarily dislike them. They are good if you enjoy a slightly bassier sound signature, which many people do. But they don't really stand out from the many other boomy consumer headphones out there.
So why market them as DT880s?

asgilbProbably because they are DT-880s with a different tuning and paint job...

asgilbThese are the pro edition, the premium edition (600 ohm) is the popular one.

asgilbIt's most likely due to the ear pad on this limited version. While I have not heard this 880, I can say that I have the DT990 pro original and recently bought the DT990 limited edition black version expecting the same sound signature with just a different color. I was unexpectedly surprised to find how different they sound to the original. The ear pads are denser which consequently make them less comfortable than the original. The sound signature increases the mid bass region and tames the hot treble the 990's are known for. The sound stage also looses some of the vastness the 990's are capable of yet maintains precise and slightly improved imaging. I actually like the slight tuning difference but Beyerdynamic does not provide any details about this. I would hazard a guess that this is the same issue with these as they look very similar to the 990 special edition I have.

czrem990 imaging I wouldn’t call precise, it’s feels a bit off to me. dt990 imaging is worse than hd700 which has decent imaging I still wouldn’t call it precise though but close, and 990 has better imaging than k702 and dt880 and 6xx. But the treble is pretty rough to deal with. Dt990 and hd600 are somewhere in the same ballpark for imaging imo. Hd800 I would call precise.

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
