NO!

The 650 is perfect, the HD800 is perfecter.

hehehehe, 'perfecter' is just not logical word. XD

So no news for the date, I guess.

What would someone unimpressed with the 650 think about the 800?

I would agree that the 650s are perfect, only after the cardas cable upgrade though and significant burn in time to remove that veil. Hmmmm, perfecter you say?

Best PR a set of cans could ever receive. For me, when reviewing gear, anything that gave me musical ADD was a clear winner. Now I am really looking forward to getting a pair of these cans. Now if I can just decide upon an amp.....

The HD 650s come absolutely alive when given a great recording. It'll not bring any upfront quality to a recording that intrinsically doesn't have it, hence that 'veil'. I agree with the word 'exquisite' when used to describe the sound production of the HD 650. If the HD800's improve on this then this is truly remarkable and it would be a great headphone to possess.

I agree aimlink,
My cds from MA recordings let the 650s strut their stuff in full glory, no veil there. Hey Aimlink, have you got your P-51 in yet, I'd like to ask you some quesios about it.

Yes. Got it and the Westone's. I've already done some good listening too.

So shoot your questions. I'll answer as best as I can.
