Great frequency response
Strong distortion performance
Solid tracking results
Not comfortable at all for larger heads
Introduction
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 for the price.
