Getting HD800s within the next couple of months, and am curious as to what to expect with my current source/amp setup in my signature.   Also, to any HD800 owners who also have (or had HD650s): In your opinion, do you think I'll end up keeping the HD650s for certain music, or will the HD800s...

Hi,   Which one of this this will sound more transparent and not too bright ?   http://www.aloaudio.com/headphone-cables-en/sennheiser-hd800-cables/

Searching for a suitable DAC/amp for HD800, solid state or with tubes... I have searched a lot and right now, I am considering those 3:   1) Teac UD-501 + O2 desktop 2) Pureaudio WE-DAC30 3) Audiolab M-DAC 4) W4S mPRE   However, I would appreciate more suggestions...   It must...

 Already asked in the Appreciation Thread, but figured I might get more answers here.    Looking for a great DAC that has to have USB. I'd prefer a DAC that is a bit on the warmer side. Nice, textured, punchy bass, etc. I listen to everything so it should be a good all arounder.

My HD 800 will be replacing my HD 598 this Thursday. However, I don't think my cheap E17 + E09K can fully drive the HD 800. What recommendations do you have for a DAC/AMP with the price range of about $1,000? I have never really listened to tube amps nor have the interest in buying any. 

Hey guys, I can't believe I'm asking help repairing a cable, but for the life of me I can't figure what's wrong. So today I found out my cable insulation cracked, don't really know how that happened, just took it out of the box and it was like that, oh well. The insulation was cracked pretty...

I'm in a situation currently where I can potentially get myself a pair of HD800s. I had a listening test with a pair of them and some HD700s yesterday, and I absolutely love the sound of them.   I also would be in a position to get a Lehmann Black Cube Linear Headphone Amp, and from what...

Hi, a question from a HD800 newcomer, if you'd humor me. Recently, I listened to the HD800 after auditioning the T1, LCD-2, and the HE-500. I went into s shop that sold them and listened with the modest source of iPod Nano 6G plugged into a JDS Labs C421 portable amp via a Fiio LOD. As soon as I...

Hey y'all, if you won the lottery today, what audio gear would you purchase tomorrow? I'd get an AudioQuest Diamond USB cable>Schiit Yggdrasil>Decware Taboo III&Schiit Ragnarok>Audeze LCD3 (balanced for Ragnarok)&Grado RS1/HP1000 for Taboo. I'll post the speaker rig tomorrow :p

Ok so I'm going to upgrade my current system. Basically I swap back and forth from my hd 650's to my ultrasone pro 900's. My setup with these headphones are my computer -> schiit bifrost -> schiit asgard. I'm making my way up the summit. I'm going to order a pair of hd 800's tomorrow and Im...

I am searching for a good tube amp for my new HD800 under my budget: $1300. Based on some research, there are  a few options in the current marketplace in this price range. I am particularly interested in the followings:   - Wooaudio's WA2 - Wooaudio's WA6-SE - Analog Design Lab's...

It would be interesting for everyone to list their THREE most comfortable cans they've ever worn.... BarryT

Any recommendations for a better cable for the Sennheiser HD 800 headphones at a reasonable price,thanks John

Fellow Head-Fiers - I just thought I would share my experiences with my progression through the headphone ranks for anyone looking to get into quality headphones, or anyone thinking about possibly upgrading and wondering if it is worth the cost.   My foray into the headphone world is new, but...

Even my best headphones, Grado PS500, continually remind me that they are between me and the music.    So I am trying to find the headphones that most "go away" when used, by providing the listening experience that seems most like "You Are There" with the musicians.   Reading so far suggests...
