I think the basic differences between the DT880s come close to this:
- Pre-2003: seen pictures of a very retro version, quite different from the newer models
- 2003: initially came in a metal box, then later in a leather bag; headband wrapped in leather, flat aluminum back
- Pro - 2005 250 ohms: comes with slightly rounded back, has DT880 Pro label, no customization or Manufaktur
- 2005 32 ohms: fully rounded back, looks like unmodified Manufaktur, leather case
- 2005 250 ohms; fully rounded back, looks like unmodified Manufaktur, leather case
- 2005 600 ohms: fully rounded back, looks like unmodified Manufaktur, leather case
- 2005 32, 250, and 600 ohms, fully rounded back, colors and some materials can be modified through Manufaktur, leather case
I've read different reactions about these phones. My main questions relate to the differences:
1. Which seems to be preferred here, the DT880 Pro, the 32, or 600 ohm version?
2. Has anyone been able to evaluate the pre-2003 model and compare it to later versions?
3. What are the sound differences, if any between the different ohm variants?
Thanks!
