The DT 770, 880 & 990 cost less than half as much than the HD 650 & 600 and I think you get what you paid for. Out of curiosity, I bought the DT 770, 880 & 990 and to my ears, all 3 sound like they belong in the ATH-M50X class of headphones, which I use for monitoring purposes at my job.
The question is, why has beyerdynamic not been able to match the HD 600 & 650 for decades? They have managed to get much closer with their fairly new DT 1990 but it still falls short of competeting along side the 600 & 650. People in the audiophile commnunity tend to equate elevated treble with detail but that couldn't be more wrong. The real magic is engineering a headphone that is both detailed and not artificially boosted in the highs at the same time. Now that's difficult.
