  I laughed so hard my ribs hurt!
 
Thanks!

 

   
Well, maybe some people like their headphones to look like medieval torture devices. 

Its even uglier than the AKG K1000 and that's saying something!

How these things can even be mentioned in the same sentence as the hd800 is beyond me. They are not even playing the same sport never mind in the same league!

I'm sorry, but i don't understand what the graphs say.
Did you mean the Abyss is much better or  vice versa?

Idk.
 
I didn't hear a thing reading those charts.

I heard that Abyss sounds very similar to lcd 3.

They say distortion/ poor frequency response / poor diaphragm control. Basically the abyss is technically a pile of poo. Hd800= engineering masterpiece.

So I think Abyss and hd800 are very much different headphones.

I did. I heard coloration!!!!!! That must sound nice to some and if it does buy a HD800 and use eq to make it sound coloured like the abyss. It's a much cheaper alternative.

 

[pearljam50000]

I hate coloration, so i guess the HD800 is still the best option for neutral and clear sound

Without doubt. SR-009 and HE6 are the only other productions phones that can hold a candle to the HD800.

I do not understand why people always attack Abyss, and always say something that is from other people's opinions. I agree that HD800 is a masterpiece, but Abyss is also one of the best headphones I have ever heard. At this level, there is no point to defend or attack something. If it is not your cup of tea then just leave it, or give us a neutral comparison, not something like this.

It costs a lot of money so it has created it's own soap box . It deserves scrutiny . Oh and at this level there is every reason to defend or attack. Someone may well be reading this or that deciding on departing with a lot of HARD EARNED money. Any information to help them is important so it ALL matters!

lol, just as you said it deserves scrutiny, but I did not see you post anything helpful here.

I posted some objective graphs that showcase nothing special . What did you post?

 

[chengka7]

sigh, you really understand that graph??? whatever, I do not want to continue this conversation here. It is HD800 thread.
