So I bought some Beyer DT 880's from someone recently, and I guess I actually have 2 questions.
 
1) How do you determine if it's the "Pro" or "Premium" version as whenever I try to look online at pictures it seems as if they're interchangeable, and
 
2) How do I determine which ohm version it is? I thought I read somewhere that it stated the ohms on the plug.....but I don't see it there or anywhere else on the headphones.  Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

600 ohm and 32 ohm are stamped on the plug. If yours is blank it is a 250 ohm version.


DT880 Pro says DT 880 Pro on the cup, Premium version says DT 880.

Thank you, I appreciate that. 
 
Well now that I know it's the 250 Premiums.....any input on a headphone amp to add to it?  I figure since it's the 250 ohm version I should probably get one, right?  And let's say my budget is somewhere around......$150.  Give or take a bit.

In my opinion the DT880s have great synergy with Tube Amps. If you are into DIY and can stretch your budget to $219 I recommend the Bottlehead Crack.

Zombie_X has a ton of beyer info including his amping recommendations here:

I say both, (SS/tube) they are versatile headphones.

I agree. You could also try and find a used Darkvoice 336i in the forums.

so my headphones got the 32ohm logo on the jack. does this mean they are 32ohm. its a stupid question but this worries me since i ordered them from amazon as 250ohm headphones. can it be something else or is it just amazon screwed me over

Read the second post in this thread. They sent you 32ohm version. The 250 ohm is blank on the headphone jack. What source are you using these with? Do you have an amp?
