I got some and I'm enjoying 'em. Just thought I'd share.
I've had AKG K701s for years and like them, but they do have their issues. I tried the Sennheisers HD600 and they were more cohesive and punchy but veiled-sounding compared to the AKG and I didn't keep them. The DT880s are apparently the last of the "big 3": flagships on first release, now much cheaper. They don't have quite the out-of-head quality of the AKG but they're still very open, and have a richer and more cohesive sound. Never enjoyed listening through 'phones so much, no fatigue. Sound good through headphone amp or phone.
