There's price difference between the pro version and the consumer version of the same model. There's price difference between the different impedance of the same model. Unlike Senn, the model number don't change with just a slight change. Each headphone model has its distinctive characteristic unlike another.
The drivers are quite different as well between the different versions within the same model. I personally preferred the DT880/600 over DT880/250 (consumer version) any day.
