An excellent and articulate review TwoEars. As an owner of a pair of HD800's myself, your comments mirror my own experience. I have owned and auditioned Audeze LCD-2, LCD3, LCD-X, HiFiMan 5LE, & 6HE, and also once owned Sennheiser HD600 & HD650's. While I have had "magical musical moments" with many of these, the fact that the DH800's are the only set of cans I still own speaks for itself...
