I have the DT880s 2005 version 250 ohm balanced with Cardas, and I just got to listen to them the first time today. I actually was only able to listen to one side at a time since I only have a balanced DAC and not an amp and only have one adapter, but I will get another adapter soon.
My initial impression are positive. They seem to be able to layer the instruments very well, so that some instruments seem to be coming in front or in back of another. They also do not have bad bass, one of my concerns. The bass is punchy and goes low. It is not huge, but shockingly good for what I thought were bass light phones. It also responded pretty well to EQing the bass up a little. So far, these cans seems to be pretty neutral and nice sounding, with good soundstage and layering abilities.
