The black on black 990 is nice, but the carbon fiber acccent looks tacky, so went with the sapphire ring (which looks pretty sexy, though still would've preferred all black).

FurobinsI didn't like the checkerboard carbon either. I chose the turquoise ring myself but would have greatly preferred red or a deeper shade of blue -- possibly cobalt, but not dark enough to be too close to black. I also like the vented design of the 990s better than the perforated cups of the 880s, which look as though they might be difficult to clean if dust and grit got caught in that needlepoint array of holes. I'm still second-guessing which signature I'd have preferred (reference or U-shape); in the end, I was drawn to the depth and soundstage of the 990s, especially since I like bass but am not a basshead and also don't mind brightness. I've done a fair amount of work in studios and have a lot of reference models already.
Here's a question: If we voted to bring back this deal, would we be able to stipulate that we wanted different colors next time?
