Hello, I'm looking for a Sennheiser HD 800 S Anniversary in very good condition. I am grateful for all offers include shipping to Germany!

Works very good with T1 first and second edition, i have testet both. The RHNP is at this price tag a excellent amp and in my opinion a perfect match with all dynamic headphones from 20 to 600 Ohm. For Planars i think they are better amps with more power.

Not in my experience the SR-009 has for me a very deep going bass with a perfect structure without any distortion. SR-009 vs SR-009S, the SR-009 is more transparent (transparent means not brighter) as the newer version, the SR-009S is also good but has a modern more dynamic sound signature with...

In my experience the standard SR-009 has a deeper soundstage, there are more layers. This results in more air around voices and instruments and you can hear all details of the recording room.

Yes i have the same experience and i think the reason are the deeper pads of the SR-009 BK and as result a little bit more "boomy" bass with a small amount of more distortion. Over the time and after some hours burn in and pads subside we will see further.

I see the ranking a little bit different after owning most of the above models: 1. Stax SR-009/BK (ultraprecise, scales extrem with better gear) 2. Sennheiser HE-90 (for classic music very good for other music sometimes less precise/controlled) 3. Stax SR Omega (same like SR-009 with less...

Made also a extensive comparision between the SR-009 and SR-009S and i prefer in the end the older SR-009 with his deeper soundstage and clearer, smoother highs and more balanced midrange. The SR-009S is good with a little bit more upper bass dynamic but have for me a bit too much upper mids...

In a german headphone magazine the Pioneer SE Monitor 5 was scored soundwise on the same level like the Pioneer Master 1. It was also actual beside the much more expensive Final Sonorous X the best tested closed headphone. Pioneer SE Monitor 5 score 1.0 (overall 1.1) Pioneer SE Master 1 score...

After some days only listening to the SE Monitor 5 i must say this headphone is very involving. Yes the mids are sometimes to prominent and the soundstage depth is to less, but overall this headphone isn´t on any time fatiguing for me. Finally i would say this is for me actual the best closed...

Hello, i have now since a week this Pioneer SE Monitor 5 and use this model with the leather pads. The Pioneer has a wide soundstage, very forward mids (sometimes to forwand), glare highs and for a dynamic headphone a good quality bass and a transparent sound. On the downside the upper mids are...

I think you haven´t understand my post and it´s make no sense for a further serios discussion with you.

  Sorry thats not true, i haven´t heard any SR-007 there are more transparent than a SR-009. With a little more Stax experience it´s easy to make following order:   Stax SR-009 Stax SR-Omega Stax SR-007 MK1 first series up to SN: 70xxx Stax SR-007 MK1 Stax SR-007 MK2 SN: SZ2-xxxx Stax...

I had now the pleasure to heard a few days a well burned in Pioneer Master 1 headphone and i think the pioneer is a combination between a Fostex TH-600/900 and a Sennheiser HD-800S. Bass from the Fostex models and mids/highs from the Sennheiser HD-800S. The built quality and the comfort are very...

The problem is i heard to many different opinions about the Pioneer Master 1. I have two friends with serios expensive headphone setups one say the Pioneer Master 1 is very bad and for his asked price a insolence and the other say the Pioneer is a very good sounding well made and balanced...

Sorry thats not true, i don´t understand how can be a serios headphone listener can make such statements! I have heard dozen of SR-007 (all versions, moded or unmoded) beside SR-009, finally the SR-009 is more controlled, cleaner and overall the better headphone in every regard! If you have a...

I have also sold my Sennheiser Orpheus system after a long time direct comparison with Stax SR-007 MK1, SR-Omega and SR-009. I think the HE-90 has a to heavy coloured midrange and is not so clean and transparent like the Stax headphones. But i think he is very good for classical music like his...

Electrostatic amps are more complex than the amps for the dynamic headphones. Other problem is a carefull engineering to provide the safety with the working high voltages. I don´t understand how people think they are to expensive!? There are so many high priced dynamic amps on the market with...

  The newest SR-007 MK1 that i know and sounds like the first series for me was the SN: 705xx with carbon box, i haven´t seen and heard a 706xx or 707xxx. SN 71xxx sounds different like the SN SZ1-xxxx and comes with the new box. There are a scattering with the SN 71xxx and SZ1-xxx pieces, some...

  Yes this is also my experience, the first versions of SR-007 MK1 up to SN 705xxx sounds closer to the original SR-Omega. The newer versions are slower and darker and not so balanced. The SR-009 is objectively seen the better SR-Omega and i think it was developed with the SR-Omega technologie...

Is the sound level really the same? I made the experience that many persons listening louder to e-stats than dynamic headphones, i think the reason are the lower distortion.

  It´s your experience if you enjoying the HD-800 more than the SR-009 that is ok, why not, e-stats not for everyone. I have only said that i can´t understand this from my view, i prefer a natural presentation of music and not a technical. Everybody has also a different definition of a TOTL...

I heard and have owned in the last years so many Sennheiser HD-800 on different average and very expensive setups and i can´t understand why people rate this headphone so high? For sure the HD-800 is a modern looking and comfy headphone with a overall good performance but a 25 years old Stax...

Take the SR-L700 with your SRM-T1. I think this combo has best performance compared to the other setups in this price range up to $3000.

The SR-007 has in my experience very different versions. I prefer the early version with SN 70xxx, they are closer to SR Omega and more transparent with a nice timbre and balanced signature. From SN 71xxx to SZ1-xxxx you have a range of very good sounding pieces and very slow not so good...

I prefer also the SR-009 to the other top e-stats, the SR-009 is the technical best e-stat compared to the others and not a beginners headphone. Big problem is you need a descent amp and source for SR-009, on the Stax amps they sound only good but not exceptional, on a bad (not natural) source...
