So thats where the extra money is going

As an owner of the HD800 and the HD650, I'm guessing Sennheiser was trying to find a middle ground between the musicality of the HD650 and the scalpel-like precision of the HD800.

Too much pricey for me right now. Wont go with it.
Can think of it after 2-3 months have to save a lot of pocket money.

now OFF-TOPIC:
yesterday happened similar confusion with HD800S in Taiwan Taipei... buyer got almost empty box (no cable and hp too)... and must wait at least till Monday, when store will be open.

I have seen similar measurements from someone else but figured it might be his HD 800 S.

 
Yes. I posted Distorsion plots in my HD800S review here : http://www.head-fi.org/t/795365/sennheiser-hd800-s-impressions-thread-read-first-post-for-summary/240#post_12350999 . "One noticeable drawback is that distorsion is less good in bass and especially sub bass area."

Have You tried Sonarworks with HD800 and if yes, then did you measured FR and distortion with Sonarworks 'HD800 plugin'?
Thanks!

Was just curious, how good is Sonarworks 'job' and how HD800 responds to such 'total' EQ-ing...

I wonder what it sounds like compared to the HD800

Thankyou I've read the impressions, it says the HD800's is more laid back and smooth sound. Will it suit pop and dance music. I find the AKG812 to be a very bright headphone compared to the HD800
