yup i'm a big fan of the dt880, but I was more impressed with the 2005 because I think it's a better all rounder. The easiest way is definitely just to listen to them. I haven't tried them back to back so my opinion is not set in stone however. A lot of people who really like the dt880 say the 2003 is more "pure" or more "dt880" than the 2005 dt880, I think they are referring to the treble sparkle and airiness, there is supposed to be more of it in the 2003 one. I thought the bass lacked impact in the 2003, and I don't like powerful bass at all it's just the 2005 has some and the 2003 had very very little.
