Yeah, I agree. Hd8 is great. Does the job very well for a DJ. Superb.
I just had my third listen to the 8 tonight, A-B-C-ing with the Shure 1540 and Fostex TH600, as I continue my search for a closed, isolating, non-leaking HP. I have to say I do not understand all the mediocre and negative reviews of these Senns. (Innerfidelity didn`t even think them worthy of a review). SQ-wise I rate them on par with the 1540, ie, excellent, with maybe a little narrower soundstage, but with far far better isolation. (I`ll admit the 1540 can be manipulated through bending to fit better, potentially) The TH600 don`t seem to isolate at all, just like the old Denons, and are therefore useless for me. Both the DJ8 and 1540 are bassy, and approach my line of overly bassy, but don`t quite reach it for me, which makes both of them acceptable. Both sound excellent, with the DJ8 having so many more perks, like foldability, at 75% the price of the Shures.
I haven`t ruled out the Shures, but the DJ is at the top of my closed HP list. Next challenger is the SONY Z7.
NAD Viso HP50?
149 bucks for a HD7 couldn't resist.
My first impressions: solid build, easily loud enough on HTC phone, stupid long cable for non DJ casual head-fiers like me, sound is well seperated, slightly cavernous which gives it a nice stage, vocals are pretty good and naturral despite the strong bass. The highs are there but they don't have the bite of say the Amperior.
Overall they are fun!
Better order that portable cable for them. I think the comfort on them is good.
not USD, EUR sorry. €. Open box item from Sennheiser distributor for my country. Also had HD700 for 300€.
Both HD8 DJ and HD7 DJ are focused on the rhythm and beat matching that professional DJs need. Between the two, the HD8 DJ offers a clear and more detailed sound with excellent bass, while the HD7 DJ has a more engaging, dynamic sound tuning with a stronger bass emphasis.
Thanks for this feedback. I've already informed the product manager and he's looking into it. :wink_face:

Hey Rosmadi....
Any word on the shorter cable? I need something shorter when I'm in the gym...
