Interesting that the DT880 are "semi-open", that seems interesting to me.
Thanks, first will be to go to L&M to test what they have. |
Yeah going to L&M to try some stuff (try as much as possible, even those not recommended here) is a great idea. Does Bestbuy still have the ability to try some of these types of products? Or is it speakers only?
Another method is to get Amazon Prime, buy off Amazon and return the one you don't prefer for full refund if you don't like it for reasons of "performance not as expected". Amazon is fine with this and it's no difference than doing the same at a brick and mortar store because you were very disappointed in the performance of what you bought.
Isn't it the other way around that the 880 premium is available but not pro on Amazon? I see the DT880 premium on Amazon. Ugh, and now I see a set for $160 open box. It's so tempting to see what it's like. The performance is supposed to be near identical for premium and pro. Main differences I've identified on a quick search is mostly cosmetic, coiled vs straight cable and clamping strength of band.
