If one could swing the price.... Go thorugh with it or steer clear regardless?

Allegedly they hold up to the Sennheiser 800s in terms of smoothness, but have quicker all-around response than the Senns, plus better bass. Some people also like the fact that they're closed headphones. Do it. |

Some of the music I listen to is very bass "centric", so I would like something that can deliever on the level. I have read that the Edition 8's have great quality across the board... One review going as fasr to say as they are hands down "the best I've listened to up to this point". Now that seems like on Hell of a claim... So now im scrambling to find out all I can opinion wise. Wish I would have done so before purchasing the QC15's... |

I don't think they're quite as good across the board as the Beyer T1 or the HD800, but they are small, closed and easy drive, versus the open, big, and not so easy to drive T1 and HD800. I've started to think the Ed 8 sound better than either the D7000 or the DX1000, but I haven't had them quite long enough to say that I feel that way for sure. |
