So Sennheiser lied in their quote about the HD 800 S having more nuances??? And what do you specifically mean by "It's mostly made up by the smoother listing experience. I just want to know why the HD 800 S cost like $600 more than the HD 800. The HD 800 S tamed the 6khz spike on the HD 800, which I didn't even hear when I was renting them from Lumoid. The HD 800 S also has a black paint job and has a frequency response of 4 - 51,000 Hz vs 6 - 51,000 Hz. Nothing else is different between two. Somebody tell me what is exactly better on the HD 800 S vs HD 800 and why the $600 price tag justifies it.
Google definition said nuance is a subtle difference in or shade of meaning, expression, or sound.
First off the $300 balanced XLR cable, which is AU$470. So that actually pretty much makes up the difference in pricing to the HD800 at launch.
And yes if you listen to the HD800 and HD800S side by side you can hear a great difference around the 6khz. If you're the type who wont be bothered by the 6khz, then you probably wouldn't need the *upgrade* to HD800S.
