Brand new, unused Sennheiser IE800S Flagship Earphones. Very similar to the IE800, but with a slightly more balanced sound. They're very natural, non-fatiguing, accurate and incredibly fulfilling. Even with the iPhone, they're truly remarkable. I'd say they are identical to the HD800S over-ear...

This week I will be adding a Lehmann Black Cube Linear amp between my Chord Hugo and HD800 S.    No idea whether it will offer improvements or not, but thought I would take a punt on it. I would prefer a normal volume control (like with the Lehmann) but it would also have to sound better for...

Thanks, useful to hear!

I received my HD800S yesterday, and first impressions are very good. I owned some HD800 last year, which I really liked but they did get a bit much for extended listening, the classic treble spike. I have owned Stax 507, L-700 and SR-009 on various Stax energisers. I have also owned LCD-X and...

When I had the 009, I had the 007tii kimik. 

I now own the L-700, and I think they're great. Paired with the 006ts Kimik Energiser.    More detailed, open and spacious than the 507, which I have always been very fond of too. They're easier to drive, more frequency extremes, wider sound stage. The L-700 are lighter to wear, but on the...

Interesting to re-read the thread after all these months. I must be going mad...    Since the last post I sold the HD800 after a couple of months as eventually they we're a bit too much – too intense, too hot on the treble. Partnered with a Hugo and a Lehmann linear.    I also wasn't using...

Re the 'new 507', I asked Symmetry in the UK (the distributer) and they informed me that there isn't a new 507 model, there's only one model, so perhaps the HiFi + review is incorrect?

I have the new 5170 system, I bought it around a month ago. I didn't realise the 507s were a new version, is that definitely the case, or perhaps a misprint? Anyway, I have owned 507 before and they seem similar to me, although that was with a 323s, and the new 006 Kimik will bring a few small...

Bit of an update for those interested. I have been enjoying more hours on the latest Stax 5170 system - the 507 Earspeakers with the 006ts Kimik Energiser.    Not sure what has happened, but I think I have experienced them 'coming on song'. It's an absolutely astounding system tonight. I was...

Ok thanks, points duly noted!
