Well, I haven't started one of these type threads for a long, long time but could honestly do with some help if anyone can spare a few minutes....   Having invested recently in the HD800's I realise that I have probably reached the end of the road for Headphones. I can't ever see me having...

I've been using the Lehmann Black Cube Linear with my HD800 for quite some time now and I'm looking for a change. The Lehmann/HD800 combo sounds very clean, detailed, spacious and fast - but, to my tastes, a bit dry and lifeless. I'm looking for a more smooth (maybe on the expense details)...

anyone have made this jump ? thoughts plss

What do you guys recommend?

I'm so crazy about Classical music that I want to do it professionally and so naturally I want some really excellent headphones. I'm looking for headphones under $90 that are clear and crisp treble, effective strongs mids, colorful, and punchy tight (not boomy) bass. I listen to all types...

Been looking for a balanced cable upgrade for a while now for my HD800 to use with my WA22, spotted this new official Sennheiser balanced cable which apparently is available in the next month or so: http://www.custom-cable.co.uk/sennheiser-hd800-xlr-connecting-cable.html Has anyone heard...

I came across the SE846 when I read it won a bunch of CES awards, looking around for some reviews they all seem pretty rave. Was just wondering if anyone has heard both the Shure SE846 and the Sennheiser HD800. They're both pretty much the same price, at least in the UK. £949 vs £999.99.   ...

Hi, i have decided that I need a new pair of headphones. I want to choose between those two headphones. I don't want Ortho for various reasons, the most important being the comfort issue.   I like very much my HD650. I am not against EQ because I found that the balance in many of my records...

I apologize if a similar topic has been brought up, I searched and did not find any exact matches.    I feel that this could make for an interesting topic. Basically the question comes down to how to divide a set amount of money in a headphone system?   For example, say an individual has...

I'm looking to use a very High End Headphone for multiple things like (Music Production, Mixing, Listening, & Gaming). I've already found the amp I wanted to use with the headphone. (HeadRoom Ultra Desktop Amp).    But I also want to know since, the amp has optical does it mean that I could...

I am new to this forum and hope I am posting correctly. I notice there are a few tempting deals around on Denon AH-D7000 and 7100 headphones and there a couple of used pairs of Beyerdynamic T1 around too, all around the £500 mark. In the past, I have owned Stax Lamba Nova Signature system...

Hello all! I was incredibly lucky to be gifted a pair of Sennheiser HD 800s for my birthday. I currently am running the 800s with my Earmax Pro and a Sony SCD CE595. I am looking for a DAC (preferably small enough that i could travel with the DAC and the Earmax) that would pair well with the...

Hello all! I was incredibly lucky to be gifted a pair of Sennheiser HD 800s for my birthday. I currently am running the 800s with my Earmax Pro and a Sony SCD CE595. I am looking for a portable DAC that would pair well with the Earmax and the Sennheisers. I am new to the whole dedicated DAC and...

Me and a friend are planning to go to balanced setups soon with either the HDVD800 or BHA-1. To save money and partially for kicks, we plan to DIY the HD800 balanced cables. What we're not sure about is the HD800 connectors which all seem to be different in some way. We're planning to buy Moon...

So I've been auditioning a number of headphones lately and decided to go with the HD800s. I've been pretty happy over the last few years with my D2000s and Hifiman EF2A amp/dac but I decided it's time for a major upgrade since I have the cash. Obviously I want to upgrade my amp and DAC to...

I am considering    liquid glass woo audio WA5 RSA darkstar.   Or other under $4000 options? Does anyone own one or more of above amps?

Hey guys, I want to first thank you for taking the time to check out my thread. I made this thread because I recently dealt with a seller to buy a pair of Sennheiser HD 800s (Headphones), Sennheiser IE 80s (IEMs aka In-Ear-Monitors) and a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort 15 (Limited Edition "Blue"...

Hello all,   After many years (to be exact, 7 years...), I finally saved up enough money to spoil myself with a serious upgrade to my headphone setup that is way overdue  I have done a bit of research on the forums and asked a friend of mine, which I'll present below.   Looking forward...

Hello everyone,   I am thinking about switching from full-size headphones (Senns HD800) to a great pair of IEMs for several reasons:   1) IEMs do not require extreme amping to sound their best, AFAIK (feel free to correct me), and I got a little bored with worrying about amps, cables...

Hello everyone!   I wonder if there is any chance to remove the 6.3mm plug from the hd800 stock cable without just cut the cable right off?

Hello everyone! First of all I would like to thank everyone who wrote on headfi forums regarding amp for hd800, it's been VERY helpful and because of you people I have clear picture of what I want to get. Secondly I'd like to say that I'm very impressed with the way people behave and amount of...

Currently have the HD800 run by an ODAC and O2. I don't like the ODAC and the O2 broke (but I'm likely going to get it repaired, so I'm not going to just get another one). My budget is around $300 right now for a decent budget amp that synergizes well with the hd800. I prefer crisper sound from...

Had a HD650 for a long time, decided to upgrade to HD800 a month back.   I decided to go with the WA6-SE amplifier already, and I'm now looking for a new DAC that would work well with the setup.   I've been looking at the Yulong D18 and the Audio GD 1.32 so far. Looking for...
