I spent a LOT of time with the HD800 in a wide variety of contexts. All my comparisons were done at my calibrated listening level of 80dBA (using the Rives Audio Test CD and my SPL meter for calibration).

And just so folks do not think that what I am hearing and have described below is either a factor of my amps, my cables, my sources, or my recordings, let me say this: I used 6 different sources (all with their own set of high-quality cables), 9 different amps, and lots and lots of the worl...

This is supposed to be the best headphone ever made..I just stumbled upon this one by accident.I was just about to buy the Koss ESP950. But this one is an absolute steal compared to the Koss.This will make an excellent replacement for those crappy earphone that came with my ipod shuffle.

The king of detail. The 800 is probably the best dynamic headphone out there. Resolution and detail are outstanding. A very big soundstage.

HD 650 v/s HD 800

HD 800 is slightly more detailed, refined and with more treble. But when you compare them side by side.

I compared them with Muses and Project Ember (not STX, just for those naysayers).

They are very close. HD 800 is better. But HD 650 is slightly more natural.

The difference is far less than people make it out to be.

The difference is similar like that of going from a HD 598 to a HD 650. It is there. But not night and day, irrespective of the amp/DAC.

I've even tried ...

It's the best dynamic headphones, add woo audio's WA3 headphone amplifier. You'll get an out of the world experience. The German Engineers at Sennheiser have truly delivered the world's best headphone.

I have been trying out different headsets till now, but this is just another amaze till now. Well i might nost say this is the best till now but is one among the.
