The DT250-250 is in. I am now listening to Burial's album "Untrue" to get a good impression.

First impression: with its a closed and compact construction the DT250 sounds surprisingly open; the sound signature of this headphone is nearly perfect for someone used to a K500 and speakers in general; this headphone is revealing without attacking your ears with brightness and nasty peaks; not too smooth and not too in-your-face!, just right.

More updates later...

I told you so

the biggest gripe I have about them is the somewhat compressed dynamics and the slight lack of deep bass and some impact. These are small gripes though because I haven't heard a closed headphone yet at their price level that sounds as honest as these guys. I havent heard all the latest stuff though but I think you now know what I mean.

And about the soundstage... these sound just about right for a closed headphone. Not too wide/fake and just a good enough tonality to make you think that it has a little speakerlike depth. For comparisons sake... with the hd600s for example the sound is wider but don't give as much of a good impression of depth. These have a tonality that gives an impression of depth in between an HD600 and the hd595. I don't believe in headphone soundstage TOO much by the way. What I mean by that is that I believe that the soundstage on cans is the impression of width and depth influenced more by FR than time delays and reflections that affect speaker soundstage more for example.

The DT250-250 is very sensitive from the headphone out, more so than my K500.

About bass, the amplifier makes a difference. From DT48's to my K400, a strong amplifier with clean signal and the right gain settings makes the difference.

The small dual mono amp that also drives my K500 gives the DT250 ample of juice and the Psy-Trance I am listening to does not sound shy of bass and impact. My portable K181 is sometimes too bassy for my preferences but it is a compromise I can live with. The K181 has a 'fatter' bass sound but less control. The DT250 goes low with control and the impact the K500 lacks = this is good

The DT250-250 is a keeper.

Edit: if you want sound-stage get open headphones or speakers; if you want an open sound just hope the manufacturer did his homework.

I've had the DT250-250 for a while now, my impressions on them are similar to Don's, with a few key differences. For all their strengths, I don't think they do deep bass at all. The bass seems to reach the mid bass, and then roll off gradually. For almost all types of music except for EDM, this isn't a problem at all. I often feel that the bass is lacking for electronic genres, even when compared to HD580 (with new pads). On the other hand, when listening to good jazz or rock recordings I feel that the bass is absolutely spot on. The treble is also rolled off a bit, but this then this makes them sound both sufficiently detailed and never too piercing.

With regard to openness and soundstage, they're really good for a closed headphone. I'm not really picky with closed headphones, as long as the sound isn't projected to the extreme left and right they're fine. I think that their depth might have been improved by the bass roll-off. These would make excellent monitors.

On a related note, I personally find them a bit boring, but nowhere near as blah as the SRH940. I could live with the DT250-250 as my only headphone.

Agreed. That was exactly my main demand when deciding on the DT250-250. This headphone is a worthy replacement for the HD250 II Linears...
