Are there any Final Audio D8000 Pro owners who had a chance to compare them against the new Heddphones?
I would like to find out if it is really worthwhile spending $3000 more for the Final.

I assume you mean the Final D8000 Pro as your end game headphone?
Have you had the chance to compare them against the Heddphones or maybe the Abyss 1266 TC?

Yep this , and the Abyss is nice but horrible fit, cant move head or it falls. The 800 pro and the 1266 TC are head to head equal. 1266 TC a tad more bass while the 800 Pro a bit more detailed.

OH, I have tried HEDDphone a few times during the CanJam. They are quite different from D8000 pro.
I was really impressed by HEDD's soundstage, the soundstage is large but very natural. The separation and image are reference-level accurate and I felt like listening to the music in a high-end studio. The background is also extremely dark, I think it benefits from the SPL amp.
I read some impressions saying HEDDphone's bass is soft, but to me not necessary. But the bass is positioned a little backward, thus, the bass sounds less punchy but calmer. The bass texture remains pretty decent and very clean and linear. The mid sounds a bit "serious" and have some sense of German-style, it reminds me a little bit of HD800s and T1 but definitely juicier than both Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic. The treble may be my least favorite part, it is a bit harsh to me. It might be that I have been used to the sound signatures of 300B tube amps, but the SPL amp is on the completely opposite of the thing.
I'm very interested in buying one pair. I mean for the price, it has lots of potentials to be a "giant slayer" when pairing with the right source/amp (to my taste the SPL amp is not a very good choice).
Just to note that Final has begun selling the stock earpads for both D8000 and the Pro on their domestic webshop. Still doesn't know if global dealers would provide this service in the future. Anyway this could be a way that creates a synergy between the two versions.

plastic headphone... that's made by alloy, not plastic. imo the diana has a weird design that'll never fit my head and ears but the sound is okay, yet still a distance away from the D8000. Its driver is small and gives a delicate and transparent sound, while the D8000 sound is fuller, richer and wider. Not bad for Diana being a portable choice as it's smaller and lighter.

I have tried D8000 and felt the fit was just right. Only complaint is the weight. It limits the prolong usage.
I felt the same as you guys on the Abyss Diana Phi fit...it seems like the design is meant for an alien head. I can never get used to the fit.
Sound impression wise Diana Phi really needs a good source and amplification. But i feel isolation can be better...
