Even if I'm alteady happy with my current headphones, I always like to try some new stuff, even more if it's cheap and even more if it can be modded (the funniest part imo). Plus it will be my first planar pair (never tried planars, only dynamics and an e-stat).

What do you think about this headphones at this price? Have you ever had experiences with both V1 and V2 versions?

Peace✌🏻

Tried DT1990 and they didn't impress me coming from a DT800 600 ohm.

Oh, interesting. What did you like better in the DT 800?

Not arguing; am genuinely interested in your take.

More natural timbre and tonality, less grainy and boosted treble, it paired better with tubes. It has less bass extension but it feels more natural to my ears. I can't justify the price difference in any way, DT880 costs 144€ and DT1990 500€.
