woah, that's a really great deal and I think actually cheaper then sending in my blown 80s for repair I think - assuming I blew both drivers...

Not sure but I think alot of people prefer the 250ohm version to the 80ohm version, not sure why but at one point during this year i think, the DT770 was at 120 after rebate from adorama I think, and this was for the 250ohm I think.

Generally, the 80Ω (and I think the 32Ω as well) is bassier than the 250Ω and 600Ω versions.

I used to have both 80 ohm and 250 ohm and I prefer the 80 ohm version. True, the 80 ohm has more bass, they also sounded fuller to me. I sold the 250 ohm and kept the 80 ohm.

To my understanding the higher you go in impedance the better control it has over the driver. Are the 250 and 600 ohm versions sound cleaner? I think someone has measured the DT880s before at different impedance.

I think Beyer made enough versions to confuse us all. I think there are also differences between older and new models, as I've seen conflicting graphs. Though that might be just the Pro/Premium differences. There's this old thread that compares the different models, but I suggest take it with a grain of salt as I personally don't agree with some points made there.

The 80s have the best bass, it was settled long ago in they darthbeyer threads. I've never seen them below $200. They are also hands down the best for mixing the rap music.

That's not quite true. Damping factor controls the driver's ability to start and stop accurately. That's determined by the ratio of headphone impedance to amplifier impedance. The ideal ratio is 8:1 or greater. Any ratio greater than 8:1 won't result in any noticeable difference (i.e. a ratio of 600:1 won't yield any discernible difference from an 8:1 ratio.)
