What is the difference between Pro and Edition models of DT 770, DT 880, and DT 990?

The Pro series is designed for professional users and the Edition series are designed for end users. Also, the Pro and Edition series do not differ noticeably in terms of sound provided that they have the same impedance (e.g. the 250 ohms DT 880 Edition and the 250 ohms DT 880 Pro sound the same).

In which way do the different impedances of the DT 880 Edition and DT 990 Edition differ in terms of sound?

The differences in sound various between impedances are very slight and most people can only actually hear them when the sound is compared directly. They are, in any case, smaller than the differences between any one of these variants and competitor products. In general, it can be stated that the resolution and precision of the high mids and highs are slightly better at higher impedances. There are barely any differences worth mentioning apart from this.

What is the technical difference between DT 880/990 edition and DT 880/990 Pro?

The corresponding variants with the same impedance sound the same. As the same transducer systems are used. The major difference is the edition models have a slightly softer headband for enjoying music at home while the Pro phones have a tighter fit onto the head for everyday work in the studio.

How can I tell what the impedance of my DT 770/880/990 Edition is?

You check the impedance of the integrated sound transducers from the connection plug. The impedance is sometimes hot embossed onto the plastic shaft of the plug:
If there is nothing there, the model has an impedance of 250 ohms.
If it reads 32 Ω, the model has an impedance of 32 ohms.
If it reads 600 Ω, the model has an impedance of 600 ohms.
