Getting to the meat and potatoes though on the HD820 the quality of the driver and low distortion should not be overlooked, will be pulling out he AKG K872 sometime soon soon but my current comparisons with the Sennheiser HD660S2 are interesting.
On some earlier recordings where a warmer more intimate signature may be desired the S2 appear to do a better job but listening to Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love" 1985, the S2 actually sounded 2 dimensional and flat, the HD820 with it's better resolving powers was indeed more immersive and musically satisfying and not in a minor way...for me.
