I have both, and wouldn’t part with either.

I've had these for a little over a year. Fabulous. They should have been in everyone's collection.

I bought these back in October 2011, and they basically sat on a shelf for almost a decade. Last week, I decided to give them a whirl. Absolutely fabulous. What was I thinking?

I had both - I kept the 840, which was more versatile and refined to me.

Just over a year into ownership, the Edition 11s still really impress me. Some records just sound outstanding - latest is the new St. Vincent album 'Daddy's Home'. Beautiful balanced sound. And these are so comfortable. No regrets.

That's in your parts. Here, they are about $500-

Interesting - I love the sound of the Aventhos so I haven't felt the urge to look elsewhere. The Lagoons are way too expensive in these parts.

Apropos of nothing, I love my Aventhos.

So great to know there are others interested in vegan headphones.

Feeling self destructive, and because they were on sale, I purchased some Edition 11s the other day. I haven't been able to take them off since. Absolutely fabulous.

I had the ad1000s and sold them. I far prefer the dt880s.

I guess a fairer comparison is between the HD 700s and the DT 1990s. I don't have the 700s, but I did have the 800s, but unloaded them. The DT 1990s are my favourite headphones.

I find the Amirons considerably better than the HD 650s - the Amirons and the DT 1990s and the DT 880s are all fantastic 'phones to me - I won't sell any of them

It's all subjective, but I fine the DT 880s a pretty relaxing listen. The DT 1990s with the 'B' pads, I found too bass heavy. With the analytical pads, I wonder if the DT 1990s have become a touch bass light, but I'm still getting a handle on those 'phones. The DT 880s just always satisfy me...

Honestly on first listen - they are really close - I'm astonished how the DT880 (600 Ohm) isn't in everybody's collection - they are superb - staggering for the price - but I need more time to do a meaningful comparison with the DT1990s
