I remember reading this review earlier when i started searching and saw the ratings and right next to the DT880, the DT250-250ohm version was rated better than the DT880 at some instances. Am i reading something wrong or do i see the wrong model?

Am i missing something?

First off, we plan to have a NJ meet soon (just the Meet Forum, I'm too lazy to grab the link) and you also try Audio Connection in Verona, NJ. They have both Grado and Sennheiser (actually I think they have both the 650 and 600 to demo as well as two or three high-end amps).

I'm also in Central NJ and you live in an area with tons and tons of opportunities to listen to high end headphone setups!

A safer bet is something pretty neutral and in the middle. DT880 are pretty even, but fairly polite. If you like a punchy, bass-ey sound, maybe 990 is more your style. HD600 will feel like its lacking detail, but it will be warm and "comfy". K701 is probably the best all-arounder but also expensive if its not perfect for you. Start with something in the center then move out from there... if you like the 990 you might also want to consider the Grado SR-225.
