Product Description
An open-back headphone that delivers a powerful, lifelike sound, the Beyerdynamic DT 860s are ideal for listening to music at home or on the road. The DT 860s boast high-efficiency transducers and an extremely strong neodymium magnet system, which combine to reproduce audio with smooth highs, balanced mids, and a powerful bass response. As a result, listeners can enjoy the sensation of actually being at the jazz concert or listening in on a classical recording session. The headphones also offer computer-calculated 90-degree swiveling ear cups for precision sound, and a soft yet sturdy headband with padded ear pads for superior comfort. And as a bonus, the headphones fold up into a compact footprint, making them easy to store and transport. Other details include a single-sided 3-meter connecting cable, a gold-plated 1/8-inch stereo jack plug, a 1/4-inch adapter, and a black carrying case. The DT 860s, which weigh 12 ounces, carry a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

This test interests me greatly because I like my music loud. Really loud. These can achieve almost 115db SPL at the ear. With no distortion of the bass notes - which is usually the first thing that appears with all headphones when it's cranked (for comparison, the DT770 hits a measly 103db and both the DT880 and 990, regardless of impedance, punches a bit more at 107db [Still not enough for me]. In addition, the T70P hits 112db. I hope if Beyer does release a Tesla version of the...Read more

Clear and crispy on the highs while deep and solid on the lows. The headphone is a bit too big and its a open air design, so u have to use this in a room at night.
