Hi and thanks for the test.
 
However I do not see any reference on the amplifier that you used for the test, the same for different musical styles? I have to say that according to me in this area of $ 1000 I do not see anything so well that a Elear

They put into shame HD800 and LCD-2?

Can you mention some of the music you listened to on it? And how they compare to HD800S in more than just soundstage?

I very much doubt the Elear puts the HD800S or LCD2 to shame CarlosUnchained. I'm sure some will prefer the Elear, but that is a preference thing. I owned both the 800S and LCD2F at the same time and both were very special with the 800S I think being my favourite headphone to date.

How does it compare to the Beyer T1?

@DarktoreS the amp I used whilst listening/reviewing is the Eddie Current Zana Deux self-customed SE for the low/high gain. I tried with Jazz vocals, classical, and funk.

@CarlosUnchained & @bosiemoncrieff the tonal balance are just different with the HD800S. These are more just warm by comparison. In terms of detail retrieval and resolution though, I'd be hard pressed to say if either were more than each other.
 
@ericp10, sadly I don't nor have heard a Beyer T1's long enough to remember its signature.

Okay, thanks for your response. Good review. 

@ericp10 The Beyer T1 is awful compared to the Elear. @bosiemoncrieff  The HD800S has less midbass than the Elear. The HD800S has also tighter bass (though I would not call Elear bass loose). The HD800S is more detailed than the Elear and the tone leans brighter overall. Both the Elear and HD800 have lively, energetic presentations, with the HD800S being the more engaging of the two. Both are good headphones and the "better" one will come down to preference. It is worth noting that in my experience you need to spend more money to make the HD800S sing than the Elear, which sound good even out of modest gear.

@joeq70 I like that last sentence, to me a HP that amplifier "agnostic" is simply better engineered.

@joeq70, thanks for your input. Well, if you think the Elear and HD800(s) are more compatible in sound than I know it won't be my preferred sound signature. I happen to think the T1 is fantastic! So for you to say it sounds awful compared to the Elear, but the HD800s is more engaging than the the French headphone, yeah, it won't be for me. Thanks again.

I should make it clear, I am speaking of the T1 v2. I've never heard the first T1. I've been told they are quite different.
