LOL!

Nice shot, man.

BTW ...

Regarding 40 useful posts among 1000 worthless of such ...

It's pretty obvious that this thread has long since left the realm of usefulness and is simply a fun romp at this point ...

I expect a gazillion more useful threads to pop up once the early buyers get their cans ...

And (sniff! sniff! shrug!) .. I plan on meeting with a couple of those local Houston buyers at the end of March to give the HD800's a good listen, myself ...

So march on, yo!

My wallet keeps desperately singing to me,

Don't......don't....don't believe the hype!

lol

That is my wallet. My curiosity is deaf though. Sigh.

I concur.

Feeling better now, fell out of a tree with a chainsaw over the weekend. Landed like a trapeze artist (phew).

I'll be away for a week in Paris so I shall be silent - Many tanks for all the comments on my views.

Order placed for HD800 in the UK.

Regards

Sceptre

I agree that would be an interesting comparison, as I'm assuming that "Stock HD600" means an HD600 with the stock cable, which isn't performing at its best.

Sennheiser HD 800 against HD 600 and HD 650. Again and again, and again…
Is it obligatory? HD 800 against Grado GS-1000, Stax Omega or AKG K1000 is forbidden or what?
More clear or more multidirectional sound than this HD 600 do, that is nothing new. The question is – how much?

Well, as to why HD800 is only comparing to HD650/600, maybe it has something to do with the fact that HD800 is demo by Sennheiser only and no where else at the moment......a tad hard on the reviewers no? Check with Sceptre as he did compare his Ed.9, RS-1 with HD800 - hope you catch him before he is off to France.
