Headphoneus Supremus
Got mine a couple of months ago for $233 used from an amazon re-seller. They work just fine.
Honestly I think it went pretty low around the holidays, now they jack it back up for a while. It'll probably go down sometime in Feb/March. Just keep an eye on it! Also make sure to check Ebay. RazorDogDeals always has them up for $349 but you can make an offer. I'd be surprised if you couldn't snag one for $280 from him.
How does the DT880 600Ohm compare the the Sennheiser HD650?
They are great cans both of them. I have a HD650 and my brother has a DT880. Senns have a juicier sound, colored (in a good way) and very effortless presentation. Beyer is very natural sounding, with great bass and treble but somewhat recessed mids (IMO), I really like to listen to both of these cans. I think that classical music sounds better through DT880. DT880 is all in all a better all-arounder and if you are pushed to choose only one can then it is best to go with DT880. The best would be to have both
Actually - IMO if you wanted something between the the HD650 and DT880, I'd go HD600. But like muxamed says above - best is to get both (for me its the HD600 and DT880 though).
True the HD600 sounds more neutral than the HD650 as the HD650 has a bit darker and I guess you could say juicier sound. Simply because of the fact that sometimes I want to listen to techno music I would prefer a bit more bass in which case the HD650's have more bass than the HD600's. Anyway what is the difference in the beyer headphones between PRO and PREMIUM?

"They cost a lot less and sound almost as good"
Almost?
"They cost a lot less and sound almost as good"
Almost?
^^ I see what you did there, anyway is there any performance difference between the Pro's and the Premiums? I am a noob in headphones still and would want to know if what I'm saying is correct, the HD650 has more and and a tiny bit larger soundstage and is better suited for rock. Please correct me if I'm wrong. How do the 990's compare the 880's, the 600ohm models?
