The DT250 don't sound quite like the other Beyerdynamics; The DT880 and DT990 have more intense treble peaks. The DT250 has a similar peak, but it isn't as spiky.    Also, as far as the bass imbalance goes, Putting some dense foam between the plug and the left driver housing (basically, poke...

I really disagree with you here... The treble on the HD600 is better across the board than the DT250 for me; it isn't even close. As with most Beyerdynamic headphones, the treble on the DT250 is kind of peaky and the midrange is a lot lower than the treble level when compared to the HD600. The...

The HD600 are better overall IMO, but the treble is more forward than with the DT250's so it can bring out annoying things in the recordings. The DT250's have a definite treble peak somewhere around 9-10khz that is noticeable, while the HD600 have pretty flat treble.

The HD600 don't really sound the same as the DT250; I don't know why people say they are like a closed HD600. Both are pretty neutral, but the DT250 has more bass and the treble is a bit lower in volume, as well as peakier and with different emphasis than the HD600. The HD600 sounds better with...

Sorry I didn't see this until now.   Basically, the HD600 have more bass rolloff than the  DT250 because they are open. The HD600 also has a different treble signature than the DT250, which has a lower treble level overall compared to the rest of the frequency spectrum. They really don't sound...

To me the DT250 has pretty strong sub bass, but I guess it depends what you are comparing it to. Also, different batches of these headphones sound incredibly different; the first pair I got had much different treble and sounded a bit more V shaped overall.

The DT250 has pretty well defined subbass, at least in the 250 ohm version.

I didn't expect anything from them; they were my first non cheap headphones a long time ago. To be fair I haven't owned anything in that price range since, but there are probably better options for not a lot more.   I don't really care so much about absolute flatness in headphones as I care...

Nope, my headphones are HD600's, K702's, and DT250's, all of which are intended to be "flat" and "neutral," which is what I look for in a headphone (they all do this to varying degrees as nothing is really flat). For some reason, people describe the M50's, HD280's, and SRH 840's as "flat" or...

I had a pair of HD280's for a number of years and I was pretty disappointed with their sound. Closed headphones in general tend to have a lot of issues with sound, regardless of brand. You either get something with weird treble, or you get boomy midbass.

Hmm might be interested in this, although it would be a 2ish hour drive for me.

I gave up on this after getting HD600's which have a warmer sound anyway, so I am keeping the AKG's stock to maximize soundstage as I mostly use them for gaming now.

    The 80 ohm allegedly sounds a bit different than the 250 ohm; many people say the 250 ohm has better bass extension than the 80 ohm. It definitely has better bass extension than any of my open headphones.     Anyway, I got my replacement pair of DT250's and they have a noticeably...

Are you talking about the 80 or 250 ohm? My impressions of the 250 ohms are 100% the opposite of yours... I find them to have emphasized treble and very good bass extension. I am comparing them to open backed neutral headphones like the hd600 though, so if you only have something like the m50 as...

I would say they are somewhat U shaped when compared with the HD600 which tend to be mid centric. However, while the treble seems a bit accentuated, but the bass is just about at the right level while a really U shaped headphone would have too much bass.
