hahaha lol
I noticed that the DT 880 was ranked higher in the battleship, er, battle of the flagships comparison...but I like the HD 700 much more than the DT 880. Still not close to endgame for me, though...
That's because David was factoring the price of the HD700 and DT880 at the time of the review. HD700 was $1000 where as the DT880 was somewhere between $330-400 for the 600ohm version.
I totally agree with David, the HD700 was not worth the original asking price. They are great headphone at the current price, but there are others that are better IMO. Example used HE-500 or TH-600. One is neutral the other is fun. I got my HD700 brand new from a2a store in Australia when they had the new year sale for 450 USD (not B-Stock).
