I've long been used to hearing about the DT 880 as one of the best dynamic headphones around. It seems to be taken much more seriously than the DT 990...which I think of as a "fun" mid-level headphone, but not really a serious hi-fi device.
But Beyer now claims that the 2005 model 990 is their best headphone:
The ultimate in balanced precision sound...
While the 880 is described in comparison to the 990:
These headphones offer the same balanced precision sound as the DT 990's, but with a semi open back design to give extended bass response.
For those who've heard the new models...is the elevation justified? Is 990 overall a better headphone than the 880 now? What criteria do you use to distinguish or rank them?
