HD800 has more clarity and bigger soundstage than the NH for sure. But it also lacks the most important thing to me, which is musicality. Compared to NH, the HD800 has no rythem and flow. It's detailed yes, and would be good for movies and fps games which dosent really need "soul" to its sound like music's do. I think the WA6 covered some of that shortening of the HD800 signature. From where I demoed, I demoed the two headphones from exact same source and setup doing a/b because shop had both headphones and this was what I found with my ears. First thing that popped in mind
Audeze open back el8 - thin and distorts.
Hd650 - lacks refinement and details in bass
hd800 - no rythem and soul.
Audeze lcd2 - not as airy
Grado 1000i - not as refined and soundstage width lacks
These were compare to NH.
