H20 Fidelity,
If you're around, how's the shoot-out with the HD600 is going?

H20 Fidelity,

Been looking into the DT880's 250ohm (£200 on Amazon) for a headphone for mixing. How does it compare to the AKG K702 (new headband £169)? Been getting mixed reviews all around the internet and there is not a shop where I can try them both around where I live. I've read issues about the cables and left side issues on the DT880, which is why I am considering the K702 that has a similar neutral sound, at a lower price.
I owned the 650 for 3 years before switching to the 880, never listen to anything but classical/orchestral, and have no doubt whatsoever as to which gives me the most convincing concert hall experience--at any level. I never had that sense of real instruments playing in a real acoustic environment with the 650 that I get with the 880.
Of course, it's the O2, it works well with all dynamics. Your DT880 will sound like DT880s.
That's a good price for the K702!
Assuming they are both sold directly from Amazon, you could get them both and return the one you like the least.
Amazon give you a no-questions-asked 30 day return period (assuming you don't damage the headphones!)

What is your setup (source, amp...). As i previously stated, i don't really like how this headphone performs with classical. Or maybe i just don't like classical
Yeah, have you compared the K702 with DT880? The only reason stopping me from getting the DT880 is the cable, wiring issues and price I've never done any returns before, don't really want or know how it works
I've not compared them directly, I'm afraid.
From all the comparisons I've read I'd expect it to have a wider soundstage, slighty less bass presence and be more forward in the upper-mids.
The only issue I have with the DT880 cable is that it's a little bit stiff and not replaceable. What are the wiring issues you're referring to?
Oh, and Amazon UK returns are great! Put them back in the original shipping box, print out and stick the freepost shipping label on the front and drop off at the post office! You get a refund more or less instantly. Use and abuse I say
