It will be some time before I can afford new headphones. I'll have to sell stuff to afford the PS-1000's and they are the same price as the HD800's. I know I love the PS-1000's so they are top priority, but no doubt I'll give the HD800's a long listen and hope there is no clamping. Ideally I would like a nice set of headphones at work and at home. |

One other immediately noticeable aspect that I note in comparison to the GS1000's is that the mids sound more forward. If people felt that the mids were too far back in comparison with the RS1's or PS1's, then these headphones will fall closer in line with that sound vs. the GS1000's |
