I was also recently before the election of a new headset.
To select the AKG 701 and Beyerdynamic DT880 Edition were in 2005 (at first only the 250 Ohm).
First of all, all 3 headphones are fantastic and their money. More than value
Listen After a day compared was for me the Beyer in 250 ohms as scarce winner is determined. However, I was with the 250 Ohm not quite happy and ordered me additionally the 600 ohm version.
After again comparing it was clear who stays and who is allowed to go. The Beyer in 600 Ohm sounds, as the previous speaker has already been written, simple clear, concise and not as "squishy". We're not talking but by huge differences but nuances.
For me, the Beyer is 600 Ohm a clear favorite and I can recommend it without hesitation. However, you really need a pretty powerful headphone amplifier or a hi-fi unit with a really good jack output (unfortunately very rare).
