Good. I'm not exactly a basshead though. If you compare the curves for the two cans, the DT880's definitely are the bassier of the two. It's not as bassy as the AKG240s that I owned by the bass is a lot tighter and more controlled.
Believe me I wanted the dT990's bad, but timing and such led me to the 595's. That and the fact that I'm running it unamped atm. I'm saving my $$ for the AKg701's+amp in a few months when it hits the states so these will tide me over.
Are you runniing it out of a receiver's amp or a dedicated headphone amp?
