Absolutely. Did you get the originals off cd discogs or amazon? Anyhow. You won’t be sorry. Lots of DNR.


They are. Sadly. Grab originals. Trust me. the 800’s demand it.



Yeah. You got it.
For me I love the intro to ‘People are People.’ 101 is a good recording but far from perfect. The vocals have a bit of treble spice and it is of course not due to the 800’s 6-8k peak.
Dynamics and The capturing of the crowd is amazing. Love the atmosphere of ‘Never let me down.’
Almost 90,000 people attended that concert!

I have the originals since I bought them when they first came out.

Just remember to keep them and never sell them. Lol.
I have all originals as well as a few 5.1 mixes that came out in 2006. DM are one of my most treasured bands.

Yes, right, the 5.1s. I have those too. For some reason they have been, and remain, my favorite band. I can't seem to shake the disease. Much to my wife's chagrin.

The 800 shows up today finally. I'm stoked.

Enjoy mate.

My wife just picked them up at the post office. I'll let you guys know what I think after I get some listening done with them.

Actually, I might listen to some Diana Krall first. When I first heard the 800 S at Planet of Sound with Diana I was immediately smitten with them.

I'm going to use sennheiser's captune app eq to tame the 6khz peak if necessary. Tidal works through it so I'm good.

Wow, they are stunning. I have no idea how people can review them as harsh. They sound absolutely beautiful with the Benchmark Dac1. Wow...

Enjoy the Silence sounds absolutely glorious.

The 800 are officially my favourite headphone.

Waiting for the Night is a revelation from these as well.
I m excited for you and all the re-discovery of your music with the 800s

It truly is a revelation. Barrel of a gun was so present. Amazing. The loop closes by how to destroy angels: stunning.

I realized today just how good the Benchmark is, and it sounds fantastic with the 800s.

@dmdm

Welcome to the club! You have one of the greatest headphones ever made. Basically, you dont need to ever upgrade. Unless Senny releases their next HD800 successor. The HD900 or something.

We all waiting for your full review

I'm a/b ing between the 650s and the 800s because the dac2 has two headphone outputs side by side, so they're relatively level matched. The 800 is so much more clear, open and delineated. The 650 sounds convoluted and veiled next to it. This is with NIN's Pretty Hate. Wowsa.
This is me throwing the 650s out.

I'd upload a picture if I knew how. Can someone tell me how to upload a photo from my tablet to the forum?

The new Vampire Weekend album sounds outstanding via Tidal on these things.

The 6khz peak does not bother me whatsoever.
