The 250ohm version sounds like crap from an iPod - I know you said you don't care, but you will.  They sounds ATROCIOUS.

Measure for continuity along the wire from the plug to the cup.  That's step one.

Yeah fire him an e-mail.  He's a great guy, he'll get them over to you no problem.

Well they're basically open phones, and the Beats are closed, so a ton more.

You can use any regular speaker wire with them.  They're probably not good enough speakers to warrant better cables though... If you can get them for < $200 they're a great deal, especially solid for movies and games, maybe not quite as much for music.

The stock cables are quite long, but you can use any regular speaker wire with them.

Figured as much.  Thanks for the help guys.

Another question actually - could the Logitech Z-5500 headphone jack power the DT880/600ohm do you think?

Thanks for the quick response!

I am really interested in the DT880/600ohm as well, but I would like to hold off on buying an amp/DAC for a couple months if possible.   Will my old school (80s) stereo receiver have enough power to drive these at reasonable levels from the headphone jack?

Hi guys,   I'm going to be picking up a pair of DT880/600 premium phones.  I've heard really good things about the Darkvoice 336SE paired with them, so I'm probably going to pull the trigger on one of those. I have an X-fi sound card - should I buy a DAC to go with it?  I was thinking if...

Bump!

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to the audiophile scene.  I'm looking to get my first pair of nice headphones! I've been searching around for quite a while now, and after testing out some DT880 250 ohms, I found their comfort combined with their excellent sound to be just what I think I'm looking...
