that's indeed great news... mackie, hope you could audition the new dt990's pretty soon too...

It took about 500 hours for the older version of DT880 to reach optimal performance. I reckon it will be the same with the new version. There's a terminology for this in the business world ie, Trade Secrets. It's a felony offence to infringe this penal code. Moving back on track...... I'm currently running in a new set of DT880-2006. Just as I suspect, it tends to have the fuller mid range and upper base (ala DT860) than the older version out of the box. As it is, the treble is rather hot and sibilant but those who are concerned by the older DT880's recessed mid and lighter bass (pre run-in condition) will be surprised. Now if Beyer personnel admitted to not having made any changes to the transducers, I would suspect either a change in cup size (like the cabinet of speakers) and/or damping and/or amount of isolation (it's a semi-open design after all) might be factors contributing to the notable changes in sound. I didn't even need to carry out an A-B comparison to realize it and certainly, it's not imaginary. Those who currently own the older DT880 should try the new version and see if your findings concur with mine. I now wonder how would DT990-2006 will sound.......being open, it could only sound better if all things being equal. I will be doing a detailed review of DT880-2006 later and hopefully by then, the new DT990 is available. can't wait four your review mackie...

that's a good way to put that... i've been wondering what they meant too..

here's a quote from head-fi that a representative from beyerdynamic sent an email (about manufaktur options, pricing, changes to the new line-up etc.) to one of the headfiers: ======== Thank you for your E-mail and your request. Kindly excuse our late reply due to the quantity of messages which we have received during the last weeks as feedback on the beyerdynamic MANUFAKTUR and the headphone configurator. Please find our answers to your questions below. For the grill of the DT 880 we decided to offer this only without painting because the real material - stainless steel - shall be stressed. The grill of the DT 990 is an electro-plated part (this explains a part of the model's higher price). We can also imagine to offer this in different colors but first we want to wait and see what customers prefer. The stainless steel (name) plate is a design element of the headphone. Of course it can be removed (to assure that spare parts can be exchanged easily), but the idea is also to have this individualized with a name or other text. As the capsules as well as the dimensions inside has been hardly modified compared with the predecessors the sound remains the same or is even better. The prices now reflect the real differences (unlike the pricing of the old models) and refer to the quality and quantity of the headphones. On one hand the new DT 990 is our top model in terms of sound excellence, on the other hand we produce this model in lower quantities. The predecessor of the new DT 880 has been equipped with an aluminium box. This has been replaced by an exclusive synthetic leather case for all three models, including a foam case inside. The standard ear cushions remain the same, the headband has changed. However, be assured that spare parts like headband and earpads for your model will still be available within the next years as part of our customer service. In case you need to replace parts please feel free to contact our US distributor. The headphone configurator (www.beyerdynamic.de/manufaktur) will be available in English language end of September 2005, the configurable headphones will be available end of October 2005. International customers will also be able to order it directly. We hope we have answered all your questions sufficiently. If you need further information please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind regards beyerdynamic GmbH & Co. KG Michael Ehl Business Unit Manager Consumer Products ==========
