Hi folks.
On Saturday, I had a chance to try the Sennheiser HD800s, alongside the HD650 and my own (stand-in) headphones, the AKG K171 Studio (which I use for computer based audio).
Anyway, without going into a lot of blethers, I was wondering what people now think of them, with owners having had some time spent with them, and a lot of people having had a chance to audition them.
I'm really after the 'long term' view - they certainly impressed me in a (short) demo, but I've been seduced by such brief encounters before, and want something I can live with. Not so much a brief fling as a long term relationship, if you get my drift.
What I did find was that the HD800s were very comfortable to my ears, and there was nothing at all about the sound not to like. However, at the asking price (£1000) I'm well aware of many other headphones that that money might buy... such as Grado RS1is and the like.
OK, over to you lot (as you're far more knowledgeable)...
