It is. Really good for stress free late night listening.

HD800
K1000 bass heavy
PS1000
HE60 is slowly climbing up the ladder.
The rest keep changing places.
Have not settled on where the Lambda Nova Signature and 404LE place yet.
The HD650 and HD600 are still my sentimental favourites.

DT770 Pro 80 - Love the isolation and bass. I prefer fun headphones over balanced.
DT880 - My go to for gaming, and when I want exceptional clarity and overall balance
KSC75 - The little cheapo can that could. LOVE it.
RE0 - The IEM that does everything well but lacks bass, which is a disappointment for me.

I have recently recabled my new HD-800 and AKG-702 headphones with my brand new
patented audio cable, the results are astonishing and if there is a meet in northern California
I would like to bring them to have other people hear the results. The stock HD-800 headphones
are really good to begin with but the sound kind of disappears it is so non electrical sounding.
