    Risky purchase, read first and then decide.

    Let's go straight to the topic of amplification/power because the build quality is the same as the other 880.

    1. Don't get them if you don't have an amplifier. Period.

    2. If you have an amplifier, then check its specs first. The 880 are single-ended, so you will look at the power output of your amplifier at 600Ω single-ended, and ideally, you want something above 100mw. After that, you will check the output impedance (measured in ohms). Here, you want as high a number as possible, although amplifier manufacturers strive to have the output impedance as low as possible (which is correct, but these headphones benefit from high output impedance even though it doesn't make sense since high output impedance = signal loss). We are always talking about solid-state amps; tubes handle them much better.

    3. When you have checked the specs, think about it like this: Either my amplifier will have a relatively high output impedance, which the 880 likes, or you will drive the 880 with "force," meaning with a significant amount of power. If neither of the two applies (neither high output impedance nor above 90-100mw @600ohm), then simply skip them, it's not worth the purchase, you can't run them.

    P.S. The "force" method, meaning a high number of mw of power, can drive the 880 600Ω just fine, but the more current passes through the driver, the shorter its lifespan. So stay away from something like Emotiva Basx a-100, which has been "heard" over time.

    If everything went well and you can drive the 600Ω, then as a reward, you get the tightest bass you have ever heard, mids for studio analysis, and highs so clear and with so much "air" that you will be amazed. It truly competes with planar headphones that cost 500+ euros and only costs 160.

    P.S.2. If someone is into mods, then I highly recommend a balanced mod (either with a cable as it is when you buy them, just mini XLR or dual 3.5mm) since the balanced connection provides more and cleaner power.
