Great to hear about your gaming experiences with the HD8. I'm a big fan of the Battlefield series, BF1 has such incredible audio. If you get an opportunity to try Sennheiser HD700 , they pretty much make you feel like you are completely in the game. Some of the best imaging for binaural audio I've heard. especially for the price.

I'm looking forward to try some more high end cans someday but currently it's out of the question

  Ever tried the AKG K712 Pro? I go back and forth between those, and the X2 for gaming. Then rotate all I own for music and movies.

Do you have a WOOX pair of X2s?

Now owning the Hifiman HE-400i and... wow. Fantastic.

Saw your post on HE400i thread
 I was very interested in Senn HD8 dj.. also got HE400i and it is pretty good (love the clarity). So...how HD8 compares to HE400i ?I remember it was nearly impossible for me to listen to Fidelio X2 after HE400i
(looking to replace my Denon D600 in near future - all I tried failed badly so far)

The DJ8 feel like the polar opposite.
Not so comfortable, deep and punchy bass, recessed mids and highs...

They are a great pairing of you are the guy to switch up headphones once in a while.

I can write more when I'm not on mobile anymore.
