So I have Sennheiser 600 and 650's and from reading reviews here and especially 6moons discussing the synergy between the 702's and Burson made it an irresistible must have. So I purchased both and have had them a couple of days now and I did a somewhat hurried comparison between the 600 series and I was really surprised at the result. The 702's were more refined and detailed with enough bass to think the 600's were kind of bass heavy, muddy sounding and closed in. I didn't use the greatest source yet but what I heard convinced me that the phone to recable with some very special wire that is my design( I don't think I'm supposed to talk about it even though I just received a patent, but maybe the near future) I found the 702's are more elegant , spacious, open, more resolving etc than I was really expecting. I was really surprised at how bad they made my favorite headphones sound. I am really looking forward to the Burson burn in with the 702's. Now I am in the middle of the next consideration. From what you have all read and heard, would the hd-800's offer a substantial improvement over the really inexpensive AKG phones? I do plan on buying a second Burson amp and possibly the 800's. At this point in my life I am willing to spend larger amount of money than I thought I would be willing to spend. Any educated opinions would be really welcome now. I will have to take it on faith and the enormously talented group that have assembled on Head-fi.
So, is there a consensus on the 800's for a dynamic phone? My one deal breaker is a phone that cannot be re-cabled, for the reasons I stated above. At this moment in time my hand built main system with speakers is more detailed and spacious than any of my headphones, the main difference being that I was in control of my wire being totally in the signal path in my speaker system. I am trying to just state what is and nothing more. I have a distributor that is almost ready to bring this stuff to market and I do not plan on trying to promote this in any way, because that is NOT what this forum is for.
So is the 800 the must have can to go to to make my dreams come true?
