Thanks, but I decided on the MA900.
The dt880s are really cheap right now on Amazon so if you're going to buy the 250ohm Pro version its $185. FYI I believe the 250 ohm Premiums sound a bit better though.
Less pressure on your head could be why. The clamp on the Pro version is a bit stronger
If you guys want a more "fun" sound the X1 would be a better choice over the 880.
To me the 880 sounds too neutral and a tad sibilant.
I ended up buying the X1 because to me it sound like the DT990, with a comparable amount of bass, but without the sibilance.
Your feel for music is both intriguing and plausible ( in my opinion.
I feel like its important to mention about the "crapy" cable that is so much Dissmissed by the buyers of the amazing Fidelio X1's.
Firstly- the cable will undoubtedly reduce the volume of your music and make it more SMOOTHER and 'warmer'.
Secondly, if you use this cable with a mobile phone or such,,, if you have a EQUALISER App, you should get VERY VERY good vocals and EVEN mid range While keeping all instruments in accordance.
Thirdly, I must share with you that, the volume of the music and OVERALL umph coming from the headphones will AUTOMATICALLY increase by using a Shorter cable, OR a Longer cable but with lower CONDUCTIVITY, so,... What I do is, for Classical music, I just use a LONGER THICKER cable, but for all other music I just use a short THIN 1.2 m cable. And the QUALITY will remain the same for both genres.
I hope this helps. I agree with all your statements. But felt like sharing this info.
Agreed the 880s can be a bit boring... That's why i sold mine.
Honestly the best solution to a boring DT 880 or a sibiliant DT 990 is a Schiit Vali, in both cases the vali really warms up the two cans and cuts teh treble a smidge, I loved the Vali with my DT 880 600 ohm, it gave it a sub bass bump and a touch more mid body!

The Asgard 2 had the same effect on my DT880s but alas I still preferred other headphones of mine to it.
