I've tried many different headphones and these DT 880s, along with the DT 770 Pros, are easily the most comfortable set I have for all-day wear.
They are also by far the best build quality at this price (and beat more expensive sets) - I've had HM5s which the hangers break on, AKGs that the removal wires last less than 6 months before becoming intermittent. I have no fears of this happening with Beyerdynamic headphones - and should it happen, getting replacement parts is not an issue because, get this, Beyerdynamic will actually sell you the parts instead of making you buy a replacement.
Sound quality is fabulous too - generally neutral across the spectrum, perhaps the mids dip a little, but it's a mild complaint at best, and they respond well to EQ - nice wide soundstage and not terrible sound leakage, but they are semi-open so it's not something for wearing at the library.
Overall, Beyerdynamic is easily becoming my favourite headphone manufacturer. 9/10.
