your a game is slipping blueyez. What ever happened to the spirit of "the real joke thread is HD800 vs K701"

Right now, if someone wanted to know the difference, they would just find jokes and jabs at the lesser equipment. There's a very strong tendency here to group equipment into price categories and judge based on price. If people wrote more reviews comparing less expensive to more expensive gear, I think it would improve understanding and discussion. |

The HD800 is inferior in almost every way to the portapro. 1) soundstage is unreal on the portapro. It feels like you're not listening to speakers, but rather that the artist is on the moon and you're somewhere in a cave. 2) headstage is unreal on the portapro. It feels like you're head is on the moon gasping for air. 3) The neutrality of the portapros is like a straight line from the earth to the moon. |
