I didn't say it does not have more bass. I said the bigger difference between classic and his younger brother lies in the punchiness of the bass. My gear is listed in my signature. Which maybe doesn't show if you read on the mobile site.
Some people might conclude that extra punch is more or deeper bass. But I only heard it that way on a few tracks and it is really only a small difference from the classic. That is consistent with sennheiser who say that the S is slightly more extended I haven't read anyone saying anything very different than that and I think I have read all the posts so far. Sorrodje is saying that he hasn't heard the smidgen more bass which could be due to the limits of his amp, possible variations in pairs of cans or my expectation bias kicking in. But we have both reported so similarly that our differences are not worth making a big deal about. Anyone out there have a different experience?
It could be due to variations in the model since no HD 800 is the same.
What I hear between my original HD 800 and the HD 800 S could not be case if I use someone else his HD 800.
The difference isn't huge like if I would compare it to my Shure SE846 but it's noticeable.
