DT 770/860/880/990  then they have difference impedance.
Man I'm serious lost. Hope someone can help me out.
It will be plugged directly into my laptop/iPad unamped.

If u have to do without an amp go DT770 pros 80 Ohm version, they are the easiest to drive out of the bunch.
 
If you can somehow manage to rob a bank and buy an amp get DT990s
 
GL!

Thanks man. But 600 [size=medium]ohm, 250 [size=medium]ohm[/size] or 32ohm?[/size]

Sorry I forgot to mention the DT990 32 Ohm are the easiest of the 990s to drive and sound great

With your laptop as your source that is definitely your best bet!
 
So if you want close headphones go DT770 pro 80 Ohm
 
For open, which sound better IMO go DT990 32 Ohm   ( best option for you since you have no amp)

You may also consider getting a DT990 Pro (250 Ω, cheaper than the other versions, but does not look as good, and the package does not include a carrying case), and if your laptop cannot drive it to adequate levels, a FiiO E10 on the money saved by choosing the Pro version, which can cost less by about $100. Many onboard headphone outputs will not work very well with the 32 Ω version anyway, since it is less efficient than most modern low impedance headphones. I recommend the DT770 only if you need isolation, as it has the worst sound quality of the DT770/880/990. The DT880 has the most neutral sound (which you may or may not prefer), but it costs more even if you get the Pro version.
 
I do not know much about the DT860, but the reviews from a few people who tried it seem to be positive (search for them on the forum).
