One day I’ll own the HD 660S and maybe HD 580 too.
How 598cs sound compared to others ?
Are we gettings T1.3 measurements from you ? Very curious about that one. What are your opinions on 1990, amiron, t1.2 trio ? When it comes to Beyer it's hard to find reliable information. All people saying BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SIBILANT!The DT770-80 is around 106dB/V, the DT1770-250 (Tesla driver) is 108dB/V so the DT1770 should be slightly louder at the same volume setting.
So when you are happy with the DT770-80 the DT1770 will be even 'easier to drive'.
You could consider the DT177X portable from Drop which is 32 Ohm, more sensitive and can even be used balanced.

Anything beyond the DT770 pads and a your passive filter? I might consider these for closed backs if that's all it takes!I tried and still own and use the DT1770 but in a modified state.
My current headphones:
My go to was the Sony MDR CD250 that I bought sometime in the 90s.... sadly the left driver magnet came off last year so also RIP . Loved its sound.
solderdude---I've got $200/$300 to spend, what sealed back 'phones do I want? My biggest sonic challenge these days is Bruckner. The mass brass climaxes that blow up in every single movement easily become oversaturated and distorted. I've heard far fewer problems with pop and rock, but brassy classical is the worst.
Sorry, when you say "T1" you are speaking of?Ha, these were exactly my very first headphones, Sony MDR-CD250 - also bought in the 90s.
Very comfortable ones, but I gave them away when I got the Sennheiser HD580's. Back then I didn't know yet one can properly own more than one headphone at the same time
Also had two consecutive Shure IEM's (different models) for commuting. Both went bust soon after warranty expired.
After having spent nearly two decades with the HD580's, I bought a Beyerdynamic DT-880 (600 Ohm).
Very nice (passive filter by @solderdude is helpful for many recordings), but along the new listening experience I had somehow developed a taste for more - a few weeks ago I purchased the T1's (gen2). Can't stop listening to these now, such a joy. Sound is both refined and lush. Large symphony orchestra sounds terrific, as does chamber and vocal music.
The T1's are awesome for Bruckner. Beyond the budget you mentioned, but well worth it imho.
