nativeaudio...let me know how those compare once you have broke 'm in. I heard they need about 76 hours to properly break in.

I still haven't decided between the 880 and HD600/650. I Went to a store last week, which had both, to check them out but their listening system was really bad...
They had about 25+ headphones playing at the same time so I could clearly hear the sound coming out of all the other phones when testing these, especally on the HD600's which are more open. All the phones actually didn't sound too well on their system. The saleguy told me it's because the phones hadn't broke in, but I took my HD25's with me and it also sound't bad even compared to plugging it in my MP3 player!
When asking if I could test the phones with a nice headphone amp, which they DID have, they salesguy told me it was too of a much hassle to connect it to a cd player
