Also I noticed that you have several Ultrasone cans based on your profile. How would you compare the S-Logic-EQed Ultrasone Editions to TH900?

Unrelated but I am interested in getting the hd800, already have the th900.
What does the hd800 give you that the th900 does not.

A real nasty treble - fantastic soundstage bit larger than th900, sounds really good balanced if you can find an amp that works well with the HD800
the hd800's treble peak is there and fr measurements confirm it - just sayin. ancillary gear and music sources aren't the cause but folks who find it bothersome try to fix the problem with careful system matching, tube amps and cup mods.
I don't find the treble nasty at all. Rather, I suggest that it is dependant on the upstream gear used and quality of music files.

I read that the TH900 has poor isolation. Is that true? And how much better is the TH900 than the Shure SE846 with the Chord Hugo? (or are they equally good?).
My best closed headphones is the B&W P5, so maybe I need to buy something better even though I strictly use the Shure SE846 for portable use.
edit: Off-topic. The Sennheiser HD800 isn't bright, it's neutral. If a song sounds bright with the HD800, so does my Shure SRH 1840 and AKG K240. Most pop music is simply mastered too bright. Yes, there is a small peak in the 6.5k hz region, I hear it too with my ears. But it's not big enough for the HD800 to be considered a bright headphone.
Concerning th900, not fair to compare over ear to iem. Yes the th900 blows the 846 away as far as 3d soundscape, full range acuity, and delectable sonic harmonies. But again not fair. Concerning the hugo, my th900 is in the states getting new cable, hope to have it next week to test on the hugo. But it was marvellous on the hpa8, and the th900 is easy to get the most of. The chord seems to have a better black, but that's probably the low ohm nature of 846 and the higher impediance of the hpa8 I have.
Yes the th900 is closed in name only with a considerable leak even though it is closed. They are marvellous though.

Good to hear. Too bad about the leaking unfortunately. So it's not really useful for portable use?
