That's a really good question. I'm one of those who is put off by BGVP's recent QC issues, but got a good DM6 back in the ancient days of their popularity way back in, oh, February. If I'm being honest, I don't hear a ton of difference between the very nice T800 and DM6. Both provide more details than most people can discern, maybe the T800 has a bit more bass. But for on-stage, they're somewhat bulky (but not the fit problem of the original ZS10 behemoths) and my go-to for that is the DM6, which are inconspicuous and have good isolation (as do the T800s). None of this is a slam on the T800, which I'm growing to love more and more with brain burn-in. However, if I only had $225 to spend, you can't do much better than the DM6, which for me is on-stage endgame. For just music enjoyment, I want the T800s to be my daily drivers at work, and I was teetering on the fence about returning the T800s last week -- not because they're bad but because I'm thinking I could put the three bills towards the Fiio FH7 which I'm very curious about -- but then had a very good experience when I hooked the T800s up to my m11, so the jury is still out but leaning towards them to stay. Ask me in a month and they may be my favorite ever for music enjoyment, but I'm not there right now. I hope this is even a tiny bit helpful.
) Perfect match with my Fiio m11. Guessing it is better to buy 4,4mm balanced than a normal 3,5mm?
