It's massively different in home vs in store (especially depending on the store) for most open cans.

I really didn't like the HD800 in store, at home does make a difference though.

I've tried them as well. They were obviously very good headphones, but they are a bit too lifeless for my taste.

They are great for analysing and hearing every single little detail in the music.
 
But you don't feel the music. It's sort of "stale".
 
But's that's just my opinion.

How long did you own the HD800 for and what components did you have it jacked into?

I didn't own one. One of my friends let me listen to it for a couple of hours though a Vioelectric V200. By no means did it sound bad, but it was a bit boring compared to the LCD-2 rev2.

piss and moan all you like the lcd-2 has all the musical qualities one could desire. The hd800 is  BRIGHT DYNAMIC.

I think Itemaudio sell from the uk, but you will be looking at £799. I ordered to the uk from Audeze, took 3 days to arrive. But I did get hammered with import tax which ended up costing about the same.
