I got the hd800 over the hd800s thinking that the higher treble of hd800 would give me more detail(a guess). I don't use them for music or anything due to being more into speakers, they are reduced to being my fps gaming headphones(and oh my, they are freaky).

i can't read the whole thread... so anyone experienced, summarize it for me? what is the difference between the hd800 and hd800s... is it worth the upgrade and other stuff like that...

people hate beats because it is too expensive... this solo hd can be beaten by much much much cheaper headphones(30$ category)

got a pair of klipsch rb 81iis for now with a cheapo celestion av1000 reciever... will add them to my future upcoming 5.2 or 7.2 hometheater... i am looking for an awesome projector and a klipsch rf 7ii pair for fronts with rc 64ii as center and the most powerful couple of subs that i can afford... 

Yes it is in your budget to include an e11 with them, although i think a proper desktop amp should be better like a cheap fiio e9. E11 cannot be charged while playing so that is a problem and ofcourse if you buy a desktop amp, future upgrades would be easier if you ever like a "harder to drive"...

bro you should have made the title as "basshead needs help" or something as you only got one reply...there is a tactic to attracting more replies:D... bass needs to be in the title:p... there are tons of threads on it and just type "bass" in the search and you will have plenty of stuff to...

and my high end purchase was the he500... and i don't plan to upgrade for years now..

It is calfornia... what did you expect?:D

well i said there are a few of what i said... but you are right and fake beats are very very popular just due to the look factor and tbh. i hate that crappy flashy look they have.

there are a few beats users out there who know that beats is rubbish but they cannot throw away the stupid investment now...

it might be possible that the "smooth" and silky sound signature feels that way compared to a d2k... i also felt the more whispery sound of hd650 was more intimate and more involving that the liquidy sound of he500 but it is a matter of getting used to the sound signature and these things...

Quote: that is what i do

Quote: that would create a lot of open space at the back of the cups where your ears/neck is not touching the cups... that should effect the quality of the soundstage

Quote: he was joking actually... everyone was seriously trolled over there... it is just impossible for someone to be that dumb or blatantly egotistical to make stuff up... i have seen "skilled" trolls before and he is one of them... i am sure of it...

Quote: he500 requires a lot of current compared to the voltage part of the power equation and that is given in spades by the 11.32. It is about 12db gain while the magni is 14db gain. I don't know how it actually works but as far as i have seen that loudness does not equal more power...

Quote: it doesn't get ear damaging levels with my he500 even at everything max... only if i use players which have a audio gain plugin or whatever it is called...

Quote: i have not but as i have always read that bifrost is slightly better than the odac...going by that, they have to be on par as  11.32 is supposed to be much better than the odac

Quote: maybe i don't experience it as i don't use foobar

Quote: for he500 you might want to look at audio-gd products as they are the only ones in this price range which can give you some power to drive these(if you don't want to go the speaker amp route)

i prefer hd 800 as i like immersive music which could use a large soundstage... i like music all around me and all that stuff... he500 are great though and i am not gonna sell them... i have given up on upgrading now, a huge waste of energy and a huge waste of life, infact

doesn't happen for me(this pop sound)... it does happen when i switch from low to high gain etc... but nothing other than that...  i got mine in january...using usb 32 bit

Quote: yup it is the truth... still upset about getting the he500 over the hd800 while i am more a fan of super large soundstages and anything else and i was so sad... but now i don't care as he500 is too damn good itself....

Quote: Look who is talking:D:D... seriously, i don't dream about these things unless i am on the verge of buying something and i am losing patience... but i think this article is the culprit as i read it saw the video within before going to sleep last night...  ...

Quote:   last night i had a dream about lcd-2 and he500 which i was showing to someone... i clearly preffered the he500 when i was trying to showoff some binaural recordings to him... strange that i could remember their prices but i couldn't remember the dr. Chesky's binaural album...

i haven't used the bifrost but i have always heard that it is slightly better than the odac and i am sure that the 11.32 might even beat that
