That just reaffirms my thoughts on the HD800. The fact is it's just an overpriced toy. Owners are just playing up the hype and defending the HD800 for its quality but the fact is there are other designs out there that not only give higher levels of musicality to the listener but do not look like a plastic toy.

 
Sure, it's an overpriced toy. That's why I've had my pair since May 2009 when they first started shipping and still play with them.  Heck, everything here on head-fi can be called an overpriced toy.  Pair these with a quality source and amp and they can run with the big guys, no worries.

I have both a HD800 and D7000, amongst many other cans. Whether they are overpriced is entirely down to the yard stick that is used to measure that statement. But what I can say is that I have not been able to get anywhere near the same level of musical detail from anything cheaper. For me it was money well spent.
