I won an assortment of headphones , amps and dacs. How can someone post such tripe is beyond my thinking. There are downsides to every headphone. But that is not a way to describe them. The only part he got correct is they are finicky with amps. It's funny but d
Sad no one takes the garbage review down. If I were to read that way back when I would not have bought them.

I had a friend today for a mini meet. And he had some mod on his headphones. To dampen the highs. I was wondering why his headphones sounded the way they did. . He removed it. They sounded pretty good . And for the guy who wants to know about the paring with the stratus. Excellent. Really gives all the details of whT is there. Not that tuby sound , fast , punchy. Great spring. It did the he6 pretty good too. But it could be better. But overall pretty good . Only when we moved up to more power amps we could here the change. So he6 7.5 out of 10. But with the HD800 9.5 out of 10. Leaving room for something better. But the truth is , I done know any LOL.

big thanks to craig. A real gentleman for bringing his equipment over.

That reviewer though, joined not long ago.. Impressive method to gather instantaneous and irrational hatred towards himself.

I offer to buy his HD800 for $500 if he still has it.  I'll keep a pair at the office.

Would be a deal of the decade if you got his pair for that price

  Just now received my new HD800. I'm so happy to join the club. Now the quest for amp begins.



I don't know whether to congratulate you or to extend you my sympathy.  That quest is both exhilarating and frustrating, aurally exciting and financially punitive.

As a fellow traveller on the same quest and journey, I welcome and wish you good luck.
