hi,
i am planning to buy dt880 in a week. i have tried 2005 edition and i liked it for classical music. i wonder that what do you think 600 ohm version performance better for classical? as i know mid freq. cleaner but i'm afraid about sound stage.

Soundstage is the same.
The DT880/600 is a great all-rounder but excels with any classical instrument (e.g. violins, pianos) tbh.

May I direct you to these two threads

http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/bey...thread-429371/ - Many comparisons vs other headphones and the other DT880's.

http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/bey...ps1000-454208/ - talking about the 600 ohm version vs. the Grado PS1000 (and some comparisons vs,. the HD650) . Compares it in classical mainly as well. A classically trained musician as well.

Indeed, the 600Ohm version is beyer's hidden gem line. Any of the 600Ohm phone beat their 250Ohm counterparts IMO.

Agreed. Get the 600 ohm if you can. I have the 990's 600ohm, and prefer it to my 880's in 250 ohm.

600ohm Beyers are hidden gems? Funny, I had dt880/600 2005, still have dt990/600 2005, also 3x X-Deep Darths w/600 drivers, and just converting a pair of Terminators to 600ohm drivers.................I must've found their hiding places

Hey Bushguy, how would you compare the DT990/600 to the DT880/600?
