I have owned both. Prefere the sound of the 8's. Sound is faster, more detailed a bit too much bass but I'd rather have more than less. 9's had way too much bass and would actually interfere with the mids. 9's were nice and portable 8's are made to be portable but do not fold the way the 9's did
I have also owned both the HD-800 and T-1's and prefer the 8's YMMV
I only listen to Rock
8's are very amp friendly in that you do not require a uber expensive amp to get great sound unlike the HD-800's and T-1's which are very amp dependent
