duheed, what I don't get is how you came up with the beyer 880s with your type of music. Rap and Hip Hop are not really the 880s cup of tea.

karma, I think i might need to get the 580s or 600s again to listen to the punchy bass you talk about because i didn't really have a good amp when I had my 580s and the bass wasn't any good. Not as punchy and defined as the 595s unamped

The headphones are terminated in 1/8" and come with a 1/4" adapter.

I cannot comment on the performance of the 580/6x0s unamped as I have only used them with an amp. Based on what I have read, these do need good amping in order for them to really shine.

donunus all this time uve been giving me info yet u mixed up my music tastes, never in this thread have i said i listen to rap and hip hop, i said a BIT OF RAP/r&b but that makes up like not even 2% of my music. Im all trance, house, DRUM AND F'N BASS, breaks, chill out/ ambient.

there is no way these headphones can approach the HD-650 in a good system, in some cases where the 650 is being crippled by crappy gear the DT880/990 may be better, IMHO there is no comparison when it comes to scaling, the Senn HD650 dominate the Beyers.

well that probably just applies the 650 and maybe even the 600

I got your musical taste in the other thread. Anyway, yeah I haven't really heard people make the dt880 the preferred headphone for drum and bass, chillout, trance, etc... I just generalized your taste to music that is not acoustic or those that use samples/or electronic instruments

I heard the 880s both 250 and 600 ohm. I prefer the 600 ohm version. smoother, less harsh sounding... more controlled.
 
I heard the 990@250ohm. I prefer it to 880@250ohm. To me, 880@250ohm sounds bland, almost too clinical to enjoy my music. Lacking in excitement. I like abit of fun in my music so I recommend 880 (600ohm) or 990s .

I wish this thread has been bumped earlier. This guy is in the exact same position as me right now
