I am probably the minority but I fine HD800 tuning not to my liking for the same reason I find with T5p now. End up with the HD650 then. When I heard that HD800s, T1 and T5p has "fuller" sound I got all excited once more. Got the T5p cause I don't have a closed-back. Does all reference class full size sound this way, lean and hollow? My experiences with iem is definitely different I must say.
I'm glad I cancelled my order when I did, I dislike lean presentation.
I would say HD650 is also reference class. You could also try Audeze LCD headphones. They sound full and warm.
The HD800 is the epitome of precision and detail, however, its highs can be fatiguing and there is a distinct lack of bass. Agreeing with @obsidyen, the Audeze LCD series sound signature is the antithesis of the HD800. It brings the bass and the warmth that you may be seeking. To my ears, one is not superior to the other; they serve different purposes and therefore I have both.
