I don't know, what to say... is there discrimination inside EU of small countries, with fewer customers? Or should I blame homeland company, from where I ordered HD 800? Or was it really so, that bigger reselling companies pre-ordered so many HD 800, much before I could give in my pre-order? Am i first who got (through local dealer) HD 800 in Baltic states?
OK, at least s/n on my HD 800 is nice, finishing with 00.
So 2 days ago I received... when I first put them on (after 0 hours burn-in, or should I say before 0 hours burn-in?), I was a little surpriced. I thought that the headphones were really good but nothing so-so-so-so special. First reactive-imaginative thought was, that it sound is like 'top-level spy' - responsive, neutral (or is there real equanimity?), fast, calm, 'wide' and, maybe, with 'license to kill', like artistic 007...
But... yes, soundstage is wide, expansive (is it deep too?), yes sound is neutral (or is it calm?), yes it's liquid (or is it little soft on on one part of mid-high area?), yes it's easely revealing sound WAVES pressure (or is it just slamming with sound, trying to simulate loudspeakers abilities to move big air?)....
But... with good recordings it's sound or recording sound reproduction is really touching your heart (that's right, I/You can 'feel' it; psycho-acoustic effect is like with so-called 'NLP' devices, or... are some recordings so special?!). Haven't heared Beyer Tesla T1 yet, maybe they are even more really touching heart/soul, as some reviewers are saying. Are those 'guys in audio business' working hard on this subject (like Hollywood and marketing giants are nowadays doing on 'NLP' area)? But... same time, with all those (and other/more) thoughts, I can't say that sound of top headphones (HD 800 included) are somehow so 'very openly manipulated' i.e. distorted.
It's right time -to start to 'feed' it with white and pink noise and with other helpful burn-in/break-in methods. 'See' (hear or feel), what's happening...
