Could easily see this. The DT 880 is probably my third favorite overall headphone right behind the HE60 and JH13. Can't believe they can be had for under $200 these days.

Wow so I'm not the only one who loves the sound of the DT880? I've heard HD650s and HD600s at meets and it's not really my sound although I do prefer the HD600 over the HD650 for it's neutrality. I also have modified DT880's so I don't see the bass being missing, it has a very strong impact and presence for an open can with the sparkly realistic treble. I think the fast decay and soundstage of the DT880 is what creates the illusion of space and transparency. I'm listening to Disclosure - Settle in 16bit FLAC and if any of you like house or electronic this album is a must-listen to. I get a nice club sound filling my ears :]

I don't own each of these headphones, but have had plenty of time listening to them all to make fair judgements based on my taste. Also, I will include a few that I heard at the Dallas meet, which though I may not be as familiar with, I believe I can place. Those I have labeled with an asterisk*.

Short list, and same company too but here:

[Kirisame Touko]

HE-6
HE-500
LCD 2.2
D7000
Shure 535
ESW9
Bose qc15

I probabily would've had to file for bankrupcy if i bought all these from Korea or Japan. In the end the high rates for japanese yen vs dollar saved me so much money. (rates not so high anymore though)

I would put LCD 2.2 above HE-500 if it wasn't for comfort issues.
