At the moment of ordering, I got cold feet, and wanted to get the K701s instead. Then I researched some more - but it's pointless. Around 50% say the beyers suck and akgs rule, and the other 50% say the opposite.
In the end I got the 880s as they were the cheapest (ordering from germany).
Still waiting for delivery - sold my Alessandros. They really are uncomfortable - Ï don't get why the comfort thing isn't explored more by the manufacturers, its my #2 concern after SQ.
It's a tough choice it really is. It took me well over a month of deciding which cans I actually wanted. My short list from the first post in this thread has changed dramatically since I started ordering. I still may get the HD280's as a second pair, but I'm super pleased with my choice for the AKG's and I got them for $235 after shipping.
at first the comfort level wasn't that great on the AKG's, but they've gotten a lot better after a couple days of use. and as for sound quality there literally amazing. They do lack the punchy bass, The lows kind of roll off, but the lows are very tight.
I know exactly why people say these cans suck with Metal but it's the sound I prefer, The sound isn't colored at all.
How much did you get the 880's for?
::EDIT:: Last night I listened to Pink Floyd The Wall cd2 and that was great, and just listened to Aerosmith's first cd with Dream on, and now Toys in the Attic, sound great.
Trust me on this delete or throw away your mp3's that's under 192kbs, they'll sound like garbage. I pretty much have to get Flac Lossess audio.
