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 144β¬ and DT1990 500β¬.
Had those K702 (Austrian pair, which is kinda rare nowadays). Personally I think they have an unique sound, but not for everyone. They're spacious and detailed, but also very bass light, upper mids/treble focused and somewhat "distant" sounding. Most of the people will be happier with other headphones, but maybe a 5% of them would call this their favourite one.
Tried DT1990 and they didn't impress me coming from a DT800 600 ohm.
I see that you're a 560s owner too. How Is the 400se in comparison?
I used discount codes, the originale price was 83
Yes, It has 5 stars and it's the most popular seller for this headphone.
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?

Only owned Focal Clear OG and didn't like them. Dynamics were too much in addition to the treble spice, very fatiguing at moderate to high volumes. Also too warm for my tastes and not more detailed/resolving than a 560s, except for the bass (but quantity can't reach 560s EQed level as Focal is prone to clipping)
Thanks for the infoπ what measurement rig are you using?
