This Tokyo company is selling brand new 24xxxxx hd800s for 115,000 yen, or around 1100 USD.  I live in Tokyo and bought from them through Amazon.  I left 5 star approval rating.  All our communication was in English.   Depending on what your customs agents decide to do to you, this has got to be one of the cheapest options.

Just discovered Gregory Porter - downloaded the liquid spirit album after hearing him on Jools Holland. I think it's the best sounding album I've heard on the 800s. Stunning production and mastering .

I have his 3 albums, i prefer the other 2 - "Water" and "Be Good" also i seen him live with Roy Hargrove, it was one of the best gigs that i have ever seen.

  What kind of music is that?

amazing stuff -  kinda like Donny Hathaway/ Marvin Gaye with lots of jazzy overtones, the vocals are not as smooth as Marvin though.

I've got "Liquid Spirit" and "Be good" and I agree with above statement. Overally fabulous albums and that sounds especially good on HD800

Since I have my HD800 I listen massively to Classical and Modern Jazz .. these last days : 
 
 
  

 


 
 
... listening to those musics through HD800 is really sublime.
