question for HD800S and IE800S owners out there. Yesterday I spend a quite a bit of time (3 or 4hrs) listening to my IE800S during the day. When I got home and I tried listening to my HD800S I did not like the sound as much as I remembered. I found the HD800S a bit too bright on the treble, and a bit thin sounding compared to my IE800S. Not Saying the IE800S is superior the HD800S but for sure very different sound signatures that takes time to get used to once you have been listening for a long time to either one of them and you swap to the other. I almost feel like the IE800S should not be called 800S it should be something else.. like IE900s or something. 800S makes u think that sound signature is similar to HD800S and this just not true.
I also remember when I first got my IE800S and I tired listening to them I did not like them as much (my ears were used to HD800S) I found the sound lacking detail and just a bit boring. That, ofcorse changed over time.
I am not sure if i like what Im experiencing since it wont be easy for me to switch between one and the other without some ear adjustment time period.
your thoughts?
