For outside use, what is more important the soundstage or the isolation? This question is making my choice very difficult now. Is the soundstage of the Edition 8 that lacking?

Information on this headphone seems to be pretty limited on this forum. Not to get off track but i am finding alot of reviews on the HD800. Perhaps this is a good headphone for an ipod. I would love to here your thoughts on this thought. Thanks everyone!!!! |
