Hey guys, since the forum is on the fritz at the moment I thought I'd ask here (since the market place isn't too effective at the moment.) Looking for a used Vega somewhere in Europe. Willing to go to around €1000 with shipping included to Sweden. Shoot me a PM if interested.

Ah, alright, that explains it. Thanks for the heads up and sorry if I came off as harsh.

It's strange that you decide to update the entire website when it's only like 40% done. No mobile at all. (Did you go backwards in time?) I can't even access my settings at all to change notifications and such. This should have been in beta for another couple of months at least. You shouldn't go...

Hey, not sure if this has been mentioned (since I can't search in this thread) but I'm really missing the ability to search in specific sections (mainly buy and sell..) and then be able to sort by recency. Not completely sold on the new design, although I agree that we did "need" a redesign...

"I find WAY more music that I like on Spotify but I find WAY more recordings that I like on Tidal. ", I have to chime in on this. I probably won't keep paying for Tidal since I can barely use it. But your statement is exactly the way I've felt during the six months I've been using it.

Yeah, ugh.

Well, Tidal streams louder by default. If I have both Spotify and Tidal on 100% I can tell the difference every time.   Totally agree with you on the last part though. Masters are definitely getting worse. I have a small playlist with nice audio recordings (mostly Beatles) and I never feel...

I'm just genuinely curious and would love to see some real evidence of a difference. Like measured differences. That someone says that they can tell a "massive difference in clarity and soundstage" is not enough for me.

"I can hear the difference loud and clear". Elaborate please. Are you saying that you hear the difference if you volume match and listen to songs with the same master? That you hear a difference between every song?   I also have both. I'd love to switch to Tidal as my main service but I can't...

Sure, but isn't that the case with all these services? I mean, it's pretty hard to find perfect quality for every album. I would be interested to hear how Google Play's quality is compared to Tidal.   Like I said, I can't personally hear a difference between the same masters on Spotify and...

Yeah, it doesn't sound very scientific, haha. Would you mind posting the songs in which you hear a difference? I A/B-tested the entire "The Beatles(remastered)" yesterday and my conclusion is that I can't tell the difference if the masters are the same.   Edit: The UI in Spotify is not...

Yeah, well, Tidal's version is the one I have on CD. Spotify seem to have put all the instruments in a blender..

On one of my favourite albums, "Pretty. Odd" by Panic! at the Disco, they have two different masters on Tidal and Spotify and the difference is huge. Tidal has the same version as my FLAC and I can't tell the difference. Spotify however, have some low quality version, which lead me to believe...

Interesting, how did you get the metal bolts attached to the metal "hangers"? Drilling? Or is it like that by design?

Well, you can't agree with everyone I guess. :)

The S model's paint seemed a lot sturdier, almost a bit rubbery. I went with the S, let's hope they last. The bass though! :scream::ok_hand:

I agree. I listened to and felt both models today and the demo headphone they had of the hd800 was obviously completely trashed up. I went with the S, let's hope they last forever. No Bali trip for me this summer. Girlfriend will be pleased. :sweat_smile::ok_hand:

Not sure if that's black! :(

Is this a fact?

Is that so? Looking through the marketplace here tells me otherwise. Since none of the sellers, basically, have no paint chips and Googling leads me to results where people claim they've been the only listener and have been keeping them in their box when not using them and still ended up with...

Yeah, I guess they're still kind of new, so chippings wouldn't have turned up yet. It just feels so bad that I might have to disassemble them in a year just to re-paint them. It would be nice if Sennheiser themselves went public and said that they're aware of the issue and that it has indeed...

Sorry if this has been said 200 times already, but is the paint chipping problem still there on the S-model?   Thanks.

Sure they would. But paying $1300 for a product, I would want it to last well, even if it's just the looks of it that lessens.

That's terrible.  Does anyone know if this has been addressed with the HD800S?

Ugh, yeah, it just feels like one might touch them and paint starts falling off..
