You want both, as i have ( well la900) th900 is easy to drive hd800S needs scale. These are polar ends of the complimentary headphone types.
I really appreciate you explaining this to me because I'm fairly new to all this. You and other have helped me greatly, financially and listening wise.... I noticed slight irritation listening to the Fostex after a couple hours, felt like the treble was starting to become too much and the sound felt too full or my head felt a little bloated.. volume wasn't high but loud enough to drown out outside noise.. I can't really describe it but that's how it felt.
Lol, this hobby gets expensive pretty fast.. ugh! LolYou want both, as i have ( well la900) th900 is easy to drive hd800S needs scale. These are polar ends of the complimentary headphone types.
How would you compare the Cavalli Liquid Carbon to sennheiser HDVD 800?Well the Fostex are a fairly colored headphone so it will appeal to those liking it's sound signature. I really am not trying to denigrate the TH900 because as far as I am concerned life is too short and what I or anyone else likes is irrelevant if the Fostex pleases those who like/love them. They just didn't work for me and the LCD-X was more in line with what I was looking for and the HD800S with the Liquid Carbon and then Liquid Gold just hit the spot for me, which I find pretty ironic, as I am a "tube person".

I have never listened to the HDVD 800. I can say, the Liquid Carbon outperformed the Pro iCan, which I think is a fantastic amp. While the Pro is extremely versatile and has lots of gimmicks to help one reach their audio-nirvana, I found basic settings in Tube+ mode to be best. The Liquid Carbon is an amazing piece and I would never tell anyone what I spent for the Lau was worth it in comparison to the LC, BUT, as we know, there is a law of diminishing returns BUT a can like the HD800S truly makes use of extra the Lau has to offer. Having said that, I could easily be EXTREMELY happy and very content "just" having to settle to my Mojo-->LC-->HD800S. That system "basic" system I list would blow away most audiophiles for a fraction of what others spend.
Hey gang, just a quick update. Mostly because nobody else I know would care, ....................................................The resolution of these headphones, the detail, the soundstage along with the virtually pinpoint imaging. I guess it might get better than this with some incredibly more expensive headphones. But right now, I just don't care.

Look, I'm not listening to anything special right now. I'm just watching "Luke Cage" on Netflix, just for fun I figured I would use the 800S's instead of my speakers, which are awesome in near field. Literally, it was an "Oh My God" moment. The resolution of these headphones, the detail, the soundstage along with the virtually pinpoint imaging. I guess it might get better than this with some incredibly more expensive headphones. But right now, I just don't care.
Okay, I got to let someone know how I feel. Now back to the show…
This reminds me that I never used them for movies/TV. In fact, I never use headphones for that and am probably missing a lot. Gonna check it out!
Something else to mention is games. I do use the HD 800 S in gaming (in fact kept them mostly because of that) and many people don't take that seriously but they can excel with well engineered games. One exame is The Witcher 3, which has lots of cities/nature environments and the 800S give a sense of detail / space / positoning that makes the whole thing feel as if youre outside in the woods in a rainy day, hearing animals all around you. They're that good. Only weakness that it has in this use case is that you better have a fairly silent computer case, since fans down the low detail on these headphones. They're way too open.
+1 I think is overkill to use them for gaming, but I enjoy them so much in good games ) Simply get a water cooled system for complete silence, and a good sound card
