    Got a Discount for HD800S... Debating if I Want to Check Them Out if I Like HD 600 A Lot

    I can get new HD 800S pretty cheap, and even though it'll make a noticeable hole in my budget, I think it might be worth it, seeing how much I like the Sennheiser headphones. Especially if I return HD 600 and keep 800s as daily driver, while I still have the time. The few things that bother me...

    Warmer complimentary headphone to Sennheiser HD800S

    Any thoughts on the Burson Conductor 3 Reference w/ Sennheiser HD 800S?

    Hi. I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 800S headphones which I absolutely adore. I am currently still using them with an inexpensive Schiit Magni 3 Heresy/Modi 3 stack that got for my old headphones. I'm looking to upgrade and I've got my eye on the Burson Conductor 3 Reference, as I...

    Is there an HD800S megathread here?

    Tried searching for a thread for HD800S in the full-sized headphone sub-forum came up empty. How come there's no thread for this headphone? It's one of the good headphones..

    Drop + Sennheiser HD8XX - now in final form

    Disclaimer: I've had good luck with many of the prior Drop headphones. Specifically the HD6XX, K7XX, Elex, HD58X, TH-X00, and most recently the Panda. All of these, in my opinion, improve upon their original/inspiration models in some way, whether that be price, performance, features (Panda) or...

    HD800 VS HD800S

    I'm consider buying a used hd800. Anyone can give me some valuable advise on choosing between hd800 and hd800s? (I use parametric EQ extensively, so frequency response is not a concern of mine.

    Can't decide between these headphones.. Help..

    So I've searched a lot and narrowed into ADX5000, TH909, HD800s, Empyrean, and Arya.. I'm planning to plug it into my EL AMP 2(with G6 DAC). So I'm not worried about the power. I want a sound signature between Balanced and V-Shaped. Can I get some recommendations? Thanks.

    HD800s vs Arya (Also amp/dac suggestions)

    Hello everyone. I need your inputs and suggestions for both HD800s and Arya's and which one should I keep. I currently have the HD800s paired with the thx 788 desktop amp/dac and I was wondering if the Aryas are better overall for music, gaming and movies? Are there better options for the price...

    Audeze LCD-2 Classic at £550 or Audeze LCD-X at £1100?

    I currently use a pair of Sennheiser HD58X headphones and I'm looking to upgrade. In particular I'm looking for something a little airier with a slightly more open soundstage since, although I generally like the 58X sound, they are very intimate and I think they can sound, at times, quite...

    Best Music for Large Soundstage Headphones

    I have a couple of good "medium soundstage" cans, the Neuman NDH20, and the Grado RS1e. For me, coming from the non-hifi world, their staging(size and accuracy) was very impressive and enjoyable. I'm currently saving up to buy an HD800 S so I can hopefully experience that sensation taken to it's...

    HD800S @ AE-9 - Would it be worth buying a Sennheiser HDV 820?

    Hi guys, Happy to be part of this forum! :relaxed: First, I would like to provide some context about me. Also, I would like to mention I searched before posting but couldn't find any post directly related to my needs/doubts. A few months ago I upgraded from an ATH-AD700X @ AE-5 to a...

    HD800S-like headphone?

    Hi! Apologies for the vague title. But I just wanted to ask, what headphone has the clarity, detail, imaging, and soundstage of the HD800S but doesn't compromise on bass and impactfulness? To be completely fair, HD800S is a great headphone. I used BD Amiron for comparison and I really like...

    What’s the going rate for single-owner HD800S?

    I’ve been away from Head-Fi for too long to know what’s the new hotness or what‘s considered a fair price for gently used Sennheiser HD800S that I bought new in 2016 or 2017 and have kept stored in their original packaging for the past year. I took a look at recent For Sale listings but...

    Replacing Ayre CODEX -- Any recently introduced DAC/amps impressing you?

    A few years back, at least one reviewer favorably compared the Ayre CODEX DAC/amp to other makes running upwards of $5,000 (and, the dealer claimed he unit also bested Ayre's higher priced models). I paired the unit with some Cardas A8 ear speakers in balanced mode and experienced a seriously...

    Did I buy a pair of fake counterfeit Sennheiser HD800S headphones?

    I recently bought a pair of HD800S from a seller off ebay for $1,480 and I'm skeptical that they are a legitimate authentic pair. I've seen numerous unboxing videos online so I was surprised when I first opened the box up. For starters, the headphones are placed in foam inserts rather than satin...

    Budget Tube amp for the HD800S?

    Sup folks Got the Jotunheim with the dac-module, not the best pairing with the HD800S I confess. Looking for budget tube amp with a warmer signature, that could reduce some of the sharp highs I'm hearing. I tried the Schiit Valhalla 2, but it's pretty neutral for a tube amp. Needs to be...

    Question about headphone amps, power, and sensitivity

    Hi everyone, I got into headphones because I love music and now am getting more and more interested in the electrical engineering behind our fancy hats.

    Budget Amp and DAC for HD800S and D7000

    TLDR: Looking for a sub $500-600 Hybrid Amp and DAC to warm up my HD800S but can also be used on my low impedance Denon D7000. Used is fine if that is needed to keep it under budget. I was originally selling my D7000 to go for the HD800S and a more expensive DAC/amp setup for it, but was...

    AMP/DAC Recommendation for HD800S?

    Recently I picked up an HD800S, which is an absolutely beautiful can since I like wide soundstage and analytic sound. The current DAC/AMP combo I used is the Yulong DA9. But I'm considering to upgrade my AMP and probably DAC later for my HD800S (and many other hi-end cans to come I guess). I...
