David,

I'm not a frequent poster here, but the wealth of information shared on this forum is priceless. Most importantly, condolences for your loss & thoughts & prayers go out to you & your family.

I also wanted to say 'thank you' for all your efforts & sharing your insight & experience. Your review inspired me to take a big chance and purchase a pair of ATH W-3000ANV's to replace my LCD-2's. While I really liked the sound of the LCD-2's, I could never get comfortable with their weight/fit and found myself just not using them. I received my W3000ANV's (new in box) just Thursday (thanks to another Head Fier) and even though they are still breaking in, I am absolutely in love with their sound!!

Best,

Randy

Hey David, please accept another electronic sympathy card from me and thanks for all your helpful work here and good luck.

David,

Very sorry to hear, not much one can say except perhaps "this too will pass". Feeling with you, be well...

Sadly Rich

Just catching up.. my condolences David. All the best.

 

[autoteleology]

We're all sorry for you loss, David.

 

[bracko]

My true condolences David!

 

[conquerator2]

My sincere condolences as well. Lots of strength too!

Sorry for your loss, David

Get yourself a pair of new HD800, my friend... No harsh peaks, extremely defined soundstage and no need for tube amps in order to enjoy their sound (at least with newer batches). Keep LCD-2 to complement them. You're done!
 
Look at my signature - if a treble-sensitive person like me can fully enjoy them with modern genres and on neutral SS amp, you definitely would as well!

 
Very good advice indeed! I have recently compared LCD2 and HD800 with Conductor and they are the perfect yin and yang to each other. I like them both a lot. I started to understand why David said they are Neutrality Kings.

Hey guys,
 
Wanted to just come back and say that due to a death in the family (as well as some other personal things), I've been forced to take a break from the review.  I will be back in "here" soon, but I'm taking a break.  Sorry guys

Please accept my condolences, together with the rest of the HiFi "family". Real life always trumps on-line, especially when it is sorrowful. Even if you decid to retire from this community, you have given us enormously of your time and expertise, and we are all grateful.

Er, let's cheer up a little here, guys. Are you aware that some cultures consider death an occasion for celebration--the celebration of life? In any case David has stated that he wants us to get on with the thread, as well as that he intends to join us again at an appropriate time. It would be a pity if when he does so the thread was still in mourning.

OK, back to the topic of headphones.
Is Sennheiser HD-800 a good headphone for electronic music? It has great soundstage, holography, it's fast!
What do you think?

its not bad.
 
depends on what kind of electronic.
 
i think its good for trance like armin van buuren, above and beyond, gareth emery, ferry corsten, atb, cosmic gate, etc...... its pretty good for house too

Thanks!
I think of HD-800 as a complementary headphone to my LCD-2.2, the headphone that will give me more air, more space and more speed. HD-800 seems to fit the bill. I have however another question - as I won't be able to upgrade my amp - does it make sense to buy HD-800 and use it with Schiit Lyr. Will this amp be good enough  to appreciate HD-800 sufficiently?
