When updating my imac's OS and thus rendering itunes unusable for a couple of mins, just out of curiousity i plugged my dt880 (250ohms) into the ipod classic and see how they would sound.
I was expecting a thin, shrill and blurred/harsh sound but i was VERY SURPRISED to smooth, well defined pretty-warm sound and lots of tight and punchy bass, yet still has the crystal sounding airiness that dt880s have. And this is only at 70% of the ipod max volume, but yet already was already a very listenable volume. Totally taken aback by this!
People who own both, do plug them in and see how they are if only for the heck of it =).
