They sound like the headphone version of a good IEM - harsh, unforgiving and clear to bad recordings, revealing everything. They suck for electronic music.

MOD. ANAX the **** out of it for electronic. You can make them surprisingly bassy and forgiving that way.

do you have a stack? if so, can you bring it into camp? Also are there charging ports?

I've just gotten a stack. Though I've been bringing my DX90 into camp for the past few weeks, I'll refrain from being stacks in at the moment :x There are charging ports but we recruits are prohibited from using them.

Any word if an X5 can be brought in? I heard sd cards are not allowed inside camp. Is that still true? Ditto with smartphones.


Sorry for the OT

They don't look like $1,000 headphones in real life if you ask me.  The less headphones you try, the happier your wallet is.  

Ah i see. I still wish to try them though. Through borrowing or something.

I've read about those issues though. Seems that HD800 is very picky of the amps. It must be the top notch amp it seems

IMO untrue. What it is picky with is your ears. If you're sensitive to treble, it's not for you unless you use an extremely warm amp. Otherwise IMO it's good for all genres.

I remember seeing that too! I tried searching for it online to no avail.  

I saw that last week. xD

Of course it's it's DisCHORDDubstep that sees it!

YKYAAW you might start paying more attention to the TV to look for headphones in commercials 

 
It's probably cause I haven't had time recently and haven't been searching around, but I haven't seen many posts from you or DisCHORD in a while. What threads did you all run off to? 

 
I saw some sort of music player the other day sitting on the dashboard of a car, that I swear had the triangular Pono shape- it was hard to tell because we were moving and the car wasn't too close. Also couldn't tell if the driver had headphones on (which may be illegal in my state?)

I just haven't been posting very often. that, and I haven't had many headphone sightings. I went on vacation for a week to Branson Missouri. I saw no notable headphones. None.

It's illegal in mine as well.

Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro at the night bus stop (I was inside the bus, didn't get to talk to the guy).

I used a portatube but I went straight from a DT880 to trying the HD800. I do believe that headphones in the DT880's spec need warming up like a speaker before sounding the best, and the HD800 was pretty much straight out the box.

But one thing the HD800 is good for is recreating the feeling of being at a venue... Damn.

Just spotted a Bose QC2 at bunkasai today! I can't talk to the guy because he walks really fast

I believe I saw someone with Sennheiser Momentums, running them out of an iPhone 5C (blue) at the mall in Salem, New Hampshire. I know it had the design, but I thought I'd seen knockoffs somewhere; wasn't close enough to tell. That's the first time I've seen audiophile gear in the wild that wasn't on a friend that I converted, pretty exciting
