I don't consider myself a audiophile,.. maybe a music and equipment enthusiast. I find the HD800 silky smooth and when there is fault, it's generally the recording. Maybe is't just my DAC/AMP combo that works for me. I would like to get something more forgiving and complementary to the HD800 (LCD-X, HE-400i/560) but for now, I haven't found anything that bests the HD800. YMMV.

The HD800 is so brutally honest, and that can turn people off, because let's face it, most people like smooth and pleasant sound .
As i said, this headphone is only for the most hardcore audiophiles...
