Pros:

Wonderful “alive” sound quality is still there, Refinements to design and comfort are based on customer feedback, Coherent sound from top to bottom, Still one of the coolest looking headphones around, Upgrade plan for original owners provides options...
Lighter than the V1, Slightly better cable, Massively improved pads, More mainstream tuning, Incredible bass resolution and extension, Sibilance free, More engaging than HE1000 V1

Cons:

For the mobile cable, switch from a right angled 3.5mm connector to a straight one. The current connector is overly bulky and problematic with some devices
Price, New cable seems a bit weak
