For me it's not only the speed (or lack there of) of the DT880 but also it's ability to handle a multitude of simultanious instruments and more advanced recordings (separation and soundstage i guess). This comes from comparison with my MS1. I generally prefer the MS1 for rock music, but the more...

I still love my DT880s after six months or whatever it's been now. So I won't (prayer) upgrade 'til my DT880s fall apart.

As some have said your DT880 deserves proper amplification (though I have no experience with what you have so I can't say it's not enough), and you probably should give it some more time. I used to love my MS1, but after a few months with a Corda Aria and DT880s I haven't listened to my MS1 for...

The 212 is also mostly for bassheads imho. I used to own one, and touogh it could be nice and musical with some bass oriented music the bass was still to much for me. There's just to much of it .

Thx for caving in and doing some comparisons myo ! I understand they can not be perfect because of the different cables, and so on. But still, it's a lot better than "I listened to this and it sounded nice. I also listened to that and that sounded nice". Comparison really is the way to go! Do...

OK whatever .. but if it's only the pads that are different, those sould be easily exchangable. But by all means, get the 770-80 from where kameleon recommended. Looks like a great price .
