Exactly, in the store they let me test with my Astell & Kern SP3000 the Focal clear, HD800S and one MEZE, the MEZE was the clear winner. The Focal Clear gave me the same sensation than the HD800S, way too high in the highs, i mean the songs were destroyed, not listenable this way, a sort of distortion. I am not a bass head but the power of rock dont go with these headphones.. Some will tell it will be fine with amp tubes and EQ.. I dont have amp tubes and i dont want to EQ so finally i went for 660S2 because of price and designThat's right, so you've already experienced that the 660 S2 is a balanced, natural-tuned headphone, while the hd800S has a terrible mid-high and high-tuned sound, with no bass weight or body. while technically they know 95% of the hd800S. that's why those people who only start from what it costs are stupid and immediately take it for granted that what is more expensive is better. meanwhile, there are plenty of counterexamples to this in Hifi, the price above a certain level is not relevant in terms of sound quality.
