Is this the most recent version of the DT880? Headroom mentions a 2006 and 2003 model, but no 2005 model.

The MOST-current version of dt880 IS 2005 - and that also applies to dt770 and dt990. Some lesser models were updated as at 2006-2007.

Thanks. I was just about to post that I finally thought to check Beyerdynamic's website and saw that for myself.

I read somewhere that the DT880 (and DT990 + DT770) was updated at the end of 2005, so most of the USA only got it in early 2006, hence many stores refer to it as Edition 2006.

But the right term to use is Edition 2005. Even Beyer calls it Edition 2005 IIANM.

Actually, I'm only aware of one vendor who has called the 2005 model a 2006 model by means of some rather convoluted and disingenuous explanation. Beyer did not wait until the end of that season to produce and ship their new model. When I bought my Manufakture dt990/600 and had them in my hot anxious hands - this US vendor was still advertising they were selling the erroneously termed 2006.
