Right now I am listening to Van Morrison's "Astral Weeks" on my new K501 and it is just amazing. Dare I say it is a more human experience than my k701 or HD650. I am really thrilled with this headphone's ability to sound "genuine".
My personal opinion is NO. I have heard HD800 and have to say that although they have better resolution and bass extension they are not in another league when it comes to naturalness. I also listen to a great deal of classical music and jazz and k501 is a pure joy. I think I will buy another pair just in case something happens to the pair I own right now,
David ... you forgot to add this to your K501 review. "Acoustic masters"

Are the HD800's on another level from the K501s when it comes to reproducing acoustic music?
