    Sennheiser HD800 S Impressions Thread (read first post for summary)

    I bought my HD800s in 2016 and only recently upgraded to an Abyss TC. Although (to my ears) the TC is far better is almost all aspects of SQ, the one aspect of HD800s that has no equal - even till now - is the soundstage. I've attended many concerts (classical and rock) and it's probably the...

    Sennheiser HD800 S Impressions Thread (read first post for summary)

    :raised_hand:that would be me! Had the Hd800s since 2016 and found a wonderful match with the Kimber Axios cable - such wonderful synergy. I must confess I strayed a little recently when I bought the 1266TC :smile:. The TC's great in many areas but for sheer scale/air in pieces like the...

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    Sennheiser HD800S Unveiled!

    +2 Ordered and shipped to Singapore in less than a week during the Christmas break. Couldn't wait for a 1Q release and I suspect a few hundred $$ cheaper than local retail.

    Sennheiser HD800S Unveiled!

      Ordered mine and can't wait to receive the new cans. Would be keen to pair it with the Phatlab Phantasy Class A SE triode amp. Was a great match with the HD800 at a recent local meet in SG   Thanks Jan!

    Astell&Kern AK380

    Quick question on the AK380 10 band equalizer. Has anyone shared (or care to share) their settings for different headphones? I know this is very subjective but there may be headphones with well known frequency characteristics and adjusting to smooth out certain peaks or troughs may be...
