So, who won the lottery and what did you choose as a prize?

Isk HP2011 or pro 82. Looking for good punchy bass not too heavy but just enough,nice midrange,clean highs and decent soundstage. I am also willing to mod

Pro 82s are a tier above the ISKs in basically every way including build quality, comfort, sound stage, instrument separation etc. I've used them both and it's a no-brainer.

Does the pro 82 have a calm V shape or an aggressive V shape and also the isk hp2011 seems to have that big metal piece.

Comparison with ISK HP2011
If you don't have high quality DAC/Amp, you may be better off with Bosshifi B8:

lol too late

my pro 82 is already on its way

comfort was a big priority for me though. I'm interested to try everyone's "most comfortable headphone"

I have just completed a 880 mile drive in 23 hours. This is a small price I have to pay to attend great concerts.
On Friday I saw the Tedeschi Trucks at the Ryman Auditorium. Together with Brandy Clarks' show I saw couple of weeks ago, this was definitely a highlight of my trip so far. They are absolutely amazing live, three hours of unbelievable energy.
Towards the end of the show they introduced a guest performer - Winona Judd... I've heard Winona at the Grand Ole Opry last September, and she dumbfounded me with her performance. They did 3 songs together before the end of the show, and then 3-4 more after
When they left the stage, nobody was stupid enough to believe that this was really the end, people kept demanding an encore - and we got it!

On Saturday they were supposed to do the whole show together, but I couldn't come back - had a date with Maggie Rose and Sam Palladio at the Opry - my third Opry show in 8 days.
I ended up with 2 tickets - one in second row, but slightly off-center, and the other one in 4th row, but dead center.
Of course, I used the 4th row - for perfect imaging.

If you want to experience what I had, here is an excellent Maggie Rose performance at the Opry, that sounds like you are right there (when using one of the synergy combos):

This is exactly how she sounds live at the Opry.

Every time I'm within 500 miles of Nashville, I go to the Grand Ole Opry - you should do the same, if you ever get the chance.

your isk 2011 review is weird. Pointing out that it isn't the same as the pro 80 is strange as anyone looking at the spec can see that. The takstar 2050, ISK 2010, and the pro 80 are the same though. Also, Takstar and ISK are one in the same company. Just a tid bit.

My guess is as good as anybody's.
Given that it's fulfilled by Amazon, may be worth the risk.
Just make sure you didn't choose the wrong option:

Yes, they are legit. I bought mine through them. They ship from China and took about 2 weeks to get to me. They even gave me a 10% refund when I asked (due to me finding a cheaper price online).

There are a few available in Amazon UK. They’re being sold by Headphoniaks in Spain.

Now they have the Prime option, which is the only reason to buy from them.
Otherwise it's a lot cheaper to buy from TakstarAudio.

Just got mine in less than 2 weeks from Original Brands Market @Aliexpress. They are so much better to me than Brainwavz HM5 that I don't understand that one can compare them to the Pro 82s Clean, crisp, deep. And that's out the box ! And with 26Ohm DAC is almost optional, sound is decent from my S7 (although not as nice as with a proper amplifier for sure).
The deal of the year is there though: https://www.tomtop.com/p-i3156b.html 50€ shipped with the nice case!
