Pretty nice indeed. If you want more, just search for "binaural recording".
There are also some binaural music recordings out there (for example "Dr.Chesky's Sensational, Fantastic Binaural Sound Show", released by Chesky Records).
Bringing interest back to the hd800, the detail is immense compared to the rest of my headphones. Dynamics are more emphasised.
And this is what I hear compared to the th900 and the ps1000.
For those interested , I tried an Audiovalve RKV mkII this sunday. I had read somewhere that this amp was slow, tubey but that's not what My ears said to me. The resul with the HD800 is great, not slow, not muddy. Clear and fast with a great sense of resolution and detail. Slight engaging bass boost and sparkle in the treble . Typical OTL Clarity. A great match with the HD800 Maybe a bit agressive/fatiguing. In comparison the DNA Sonett is warmer/smoother , less detailed and more forgiving for average recordings.
The RKV does not match the DNA sense of intimacy and the textures of voices and acoustic intruments ( Solo Violin, cello, piano reveal clearly this point) . the RKV offers a more precise, sparkling and punchy sound .

What's the best solution for storing the HD800? It's really annoying they don't come in a wooden box ):
A box or stand? I only have a 50$ budget, so if anyone has any idea, thanks.

Why? For utilitarian purposes, the stock cardboard case it comes with would serve just the same purpose as a wooden box. I personally keep mine in the box it came with. It's the cheapest storage option and keeps the HD800 safe from scratches and dust. Pelicans are good if you're travelling around a lot. For home use, the box it came with works just fine.
I had a Room Headphone stand for my LCD-3 but I probably won't get it again for the HD800. Only the Klutz looks sexy enough for the HD800.
I used to store mine in the pelican case, a' la audeze, even if they never left my living room, but it was annoying to open it so I decided for an hippocase from amazon.

I use a Woo headphone stand for at home and a large hippocase for the road. At home I keep all the gear covered with cloths to keep the dust from settling on it.
