Yes, I've heard recabling is a must. I should have prefaced in my previous post that my A/B testing experience was with stock models.

Congrats, Aquanote. Let us know of your impressions and how they pair with the ASUS Xonar Essence STX. I take it you picked up a stock 250 ohm DT880 Premium model as opposed to the 600 ohm model. The former requires significant burn-in to smooth out the highs so have patience.
I found the Denon's comfort up there with the pleather pads. The clamping force is much less than the beyers and may be just right or too loose depending on the size of your noggin.

As much as the sound is important to me, the comfort has to be outstanding since I´m gonna use them for hours long sessions. The 880´s supposed to be super soft and it looks that way too. Can´t way for monday when they will arrive I think both the 650 and 880 are fine choices since I´n this thread alone many people praise both of them equally. Comfort made me go for the Beyers (for now |
