I'm testing the Torpedo, received in a box with the built amp and 5 pairs of different matched tubes (ready to roll, wow). The sound is clear, a very neutral and warm signature.. could be a bargain but only if you own low impedence gears, definitively wrong with dt880/600ohms  Maybe will be excellent with the 32ohm version and luckily work very, very fine with my Ms1i Alessandro (!). Imho there will be a lack of power with the dt880 250ohm, 'cause most of the time I keep the volume at 15:00 with the 32omhs Grado.
So, i'm starting a new quest for a dedicated 600omh amplifier.. just waiting for get the money. But this time I would be sure about the "power output".
 
So cute

I picked up a pair of 250ohm DT880 this evening.

While I wait for them I'm looking for someone who's going tell me they will be worth it.

The DT880s are an ultra, ultra comfortable headphone with a very neutral sound signature!
You'll enjoy them!

Excellent, now I'm excited! 

Neutral is good, comfort is good, we're off to a flying start, Chris. 

 Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have them, I haven't pondered terribly far into this thread however the general  DT880 sound signature I've been reading about is right in my direction.

Indeed, because I'm leaning towards desktop over portable recently I thought why not give them a try.

As a side note: I'll also have HD600 audition unit coming this week. Should be interesting which I decide on.

Don't be surprised if you want to keep them both H20 - quite a few of us have both.  In fact I've had both twice (sold and repurchased both cans).

I'm a little worried myself Brooko!

 

[MrEleventy]

I've had both as well. Not for very long (Preferred the 880s overall).

 

[Keithpgdrb]

so I asked this earlier, but I'll try again.  I've been reading up on what a big difference pads can make on the 880.  with the Jmoney pads being gone, is there a second goto pad that everyone likes?  or even diy?  someone also mentioned the he300 pads (which I have) work well, but I don't see how to connect them.  the attachment method is completely different.

 

[MrEleventy]

They should just stretch over the cups of the dt880s. Did you separate the pads from the plastic ring? That would be key.

I did not remove the mounting ring.  I'm not a big pad modded, didn't realize it came off.  oops.

Yes indeed, I really want to hear the DT880's on some sweet 300B's...
