I ended up returning the T1 Gen 2 and kept the HD800S, but love them both
Thanks ! Exactly what I was looking for, described in great details.
Now it seems to be a tie between those two, sound wise at least. I understand the HD800S is a bit more laid-back.
Value wise, considering the similar performance, the T1 seems to be a winner. Might not be a end game but almost half of the price, it should be the 1st on my list.
I've had a HD800 before then when I got the LCD2 (non fazor), the difference was striking. Bass had way more impact. HD800 was pretty weak on this aspect (and so is the for version). Maybe it was the amp I was using back then, a Beta 22, but still... I'm curious to see how the S version has improved on that.
