Someone in this thread mentioned that his headset was bass light.
That is obviously a personal appreciation but I do think the headsets (DT280/DT29x) have a different frequency response from the headphones (DT250/DT252).

Finally I've got my pair of DT 250 / 250 Ohm. I've already owned a pair of DT 294 (with microphone) and I took of the microphone and sealed the mounting holes with glue. Some time back I've asked in this thread if the DT 250 were bass light. Now I can confirm that DT 250/250 have different response than the DT 294/80. Of course the 250 are a bit quieter because of the higher impedance but they also have more linear bass response. The DT 294 have a rolled of low end. Now I've noticed that for voices, I even prefer the rolled of DT 294 but for 90% of the music, the DT250 are the better choice for me.
I don't know exactly if the driver is different. I've expected an additional bass reflex hole in the DT 250. The only thing I've noticed is that the DT 294 has one open slot on the sides and the DT 250 has two. see the pictures
