My Massdrop username: Pumbaa32   Drop I'd like to see: Sennheiser HD800S

  It's true that prices for the HD600/650s have changed to the ''bad'' side. They used to be found brand new at 230/280 euros respectively and I think they are currently too overpriced at 400 mark.

Liked!

Wow, 007 + 009 + BH SE at the meet? so tempting!!!. I'm actually on vacation in the US. I really wanna go but I have to find someone to bring me there and since I'm in travel mode, I only have a pair of Shure SE530 and a Rocoo DAP + popo iem combo with me now.    Btw, anyone from...

I'm in!

1) Sound quality (balanced sound) 2) Great fit / comfort 3) Durable

You might want to try the Bravo / Indeed 6922EH hybrid amps, my HD800 has been pairing with a Bravo V1 deluxe 6922EH tube for some time now and i'm more than happy with the sound. No more thin / lifeless sound (of SS amp), everything is thick, bassy and dynamic, way more musical than with any ss...

Quote: Currently owning both the STX and the One, i find the headphone amp on the One while powerful enough to drive almost every headphone, too bassy even when compared to STX's (maybe it's because of the DAC too). The volume knobs feel very low quality on hands and the headphone one has...

Quote: I never really loved the HD800 with SS amps even when paried with top tiers one like SPL Phonitor, Beta22, the treble is too annoying and the mid seems thin. Personnally i think that the HD800 needs a tube amp to really shine, even with the Bravo V1 deluxe amp with 6922 russian...

I've always been a fan of Stax but always been using both dynamic and stax too. To my ears, compared to the 207->507 (paired with 323s + 006tS), the hd800s render a bit more detail and being less confusing in some passages in classical/movie score music.   So yes, i can be going back to...

Impossible to say no to a great headphone, I'm in!

Quote:   My experience is similar as yours. I've been trying to love my LCD2 (rev2) but after trying it from different amps and sources (auditor, phonitor, little dot mk7, RSA B52...) they still sound like a closed can, lack of airyness and not always that clear. I also notice the...

Quote: My pair was an early production too (21xx), at first 50-70h they did have shrillness and thin-body in their sound, but after 150h my pair sounds much better. Except for rock music, i would take the hd800 over my LCD rev2 (and my old rev1 too) any day on any amp i owned or had a...
