    Comment by 'newzild' in item 'Final Audio Design Heaven Viii'

    Hi Snowball0906 - sorry for my late reply. No I have not. I tend to listen to these only when travelling (ie, with my phone only), as I prefer my Sennheiser HD 25 1-II headphones when at home.

I suspect that these phones will pair better with bright sources.  ...

    I listened to both the V and VI and felt that the VII and VIII were a significant step up in sound quality.   I don't remember much about the sound signatures of the V and VI, but one of them (the VI ??) was noticeably more aggressive in the highs than than the buttery-smooth VIIIs.   S

    Along with the special attribute of final audio design products - a vast sound stage - Heaven VIII has succeeded in the reproduction of the vivid yet lyrical bass tones radiating from musical instruments. Usually, increasing the range of bass tones results in a dull resonance across the full...

    Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Yeah, I like everything about the H8s except for that bass. To me, it's got plenty of weight but lacks definition and is a bit bloated. One reason might be that my current Sennies and older GR-01s had fast, tight bass and I'm not used to the H8's slow, heavy approach. However, after playing with...
