Oh my these sound way better than I remember the OG pros!!! The padding is superior and I love the black and gold !!! The case is amazing too. Headphones.com has next day air !!!
Sweet and congratulations! These IMO are TOTL for sure!

According to Final: The acoustic design is the same as the OG's. Changes are in cosmetics, extra cables (folks complained at this price there should be XLR etc), Finish is different, pad material changed to a "better" anti - microbial material etc. Case is new or different and has a lock. Sonically the driver and structures seems the same ? $3799 vs $4799. $1K delta, to pay for the extra cables, new case etc.

D8000 Pro Limited Edition​

Introducing the Limited Model of the highly acclaimed flagship planar magnetic headphones, D8000 Pro Edition.
To mark the year when we entered a new phase in our ongoing efforts for research and development, and in the pursuit of sound quality with the latest technologies, we are releasing a Limited Model of our flagship D8000 Pro Edition headphones, with a new stylish finishing concept and further upgrades. As symbolic accents, a luxurious and authentic matte black finish is applied throughout, and gold-plated perforated metal is used for the AFDS driver. Meanwhile, the structural and acoustic design of the driver, and dedicated housing construction, which optimizes sound quality and is highly acclaimed worldwide, have been retained.

In addition, for the first time, high-grade Washi (Japanese paper) with excellent durability, air permeability, moisture control, and antibacterial/odor-eliminating properties is used as the earpads' material, providing the best fit and comfort. A dedicated Attache Case-Type New Carrying Case with * TRAVEL SENTRY® Approved Lock has been newly adopted for this model. 2 types of detachable cable, OFC silver-coated balanced cable ( XLR 4-pin / 3m ) and OFC black balanced cable ( 4.4mm TRRRS / 1.5m ) for portable use are included as accessories, making it a full-fledged package that is truly the pinnacle of the Pro range.

Its a limited run of a design Jason Stoddard did but never made it our the door.
Christian at the new startup Nitsche picked this up as a collaboration...
Only 1000, all sold in 12 hours!

Hi, i have been using Sony WM1AM2 as my music player. Will that DAP do a good job driving the D8000 / 8000 Pro or will i need to invest in an external amp?

Thank you for your input.
You really need a more powerful amp to really make these cans shine...60 mw of unbalanced...not my cup of tea...
Try and see if its ok for you.
I would not be happy with its low power output..
