I couldn't agreelessmore. A lot of the $300 to $500 headphones pretty much get it all. But instead of refining those to "perfection", the major headphone players throw the mould away, start with something new and head down a long tunnel that supposedly leads to sonic nirvana but they just disappear up their own arses and end up with something that sounds worse but costs 500% more. I am not including the thread topic K812 because I have not heard it yet.
I for one am glad they did throw away the mold a few times otherwise I'd still be using HD600s, which, while good, are not good enough. After listening to my HD800s, putting on the HD600s feels like my head is in a can. Sure after a while, it seems to open up as I get used to it, but going back to the HD800 feels like I just emerged from a cave.
