Finally got the HD800S yesterday.
I did a short 1h listening and I'm quite surprised (amazed even) of how similar to the CD3000 the HD800S sound, to my ears at least. In a way, perhaps this shouldn't a surprise since I bought them based on reviews and descriptions showing it matched my sound preferences, and the CD3000 also do.
I have mixed feelings about the HD800S now. They are good, very good, but I expected a considerable improvement from the CD3000 at all levels, and didn't get that (might change opinion with more listenings tho).
This only made me think of how AWESOME these CD3K are, considering it is a model released in 1991, that's over 20 years before the HD800S! Outstanding japanese bean bags.
