How can you possibly consider room acoustics influence with the transducer operating a few cm's from your ear...? :facepalm:

Hi Luczamic,
according to your question at the beginning:I think the HD800 is a high class headphone. If it is worth its prize? Well i think you´ll have to compare and judge by yourself.
The opinions in this forum seems to have a wide range, not only concerning the quality of different headphones. There are some people in this forum who deny a great impact of DACs or amplifiers to the overall performance of a setup. I am also scepticall about a big influence of different amplifiers (with the exception of the excelent crossfied and time delay technology of the SPL) or DACs if they are appropriate in electrical terms (impedance, power) for the given cans. To my opinion the sound transducer and the room have the greatest impact on the soundquality. We happyly exclude the room from the equation, leaving the headphone as the main deterrminant to the overall performance.
So I disagree with most of the posts in this thread.

It must be a mental thing. I, for myself, can swear that sound changes in my car once I pull in the garage, even though I know full well that since the windows are closed there's just no way room acoustics of the garage can impact those of the car interior.
haha i thought i was the only one.. my headphones tend to sound better in my hall where its more "airy" .. think its a mental thing..
Yeah, that's why one needs to discard certain mental suggestions when doing a critical listen. Pretty much the same as instrument flying, where one must disregard any attitude perceptions coming from the brain and focus on the instrument readouts.
