Oh I forgot. Its a bit hard to say since I listen to many genres from acoustic, alternative rock, vocal to rap, EDM and a bit of gaming as well. Right now Im leaning a bit to the 800/S since I heard the soundstage and details are good for gaming and acoustic?! Or maybe Arya nad MM500 for the planar bass?

For soundstage, HD800s is the best of these.
I personally don’t like the MM500 which is really meant for studio work (mixing) and less for music listening.
The Arya are good option. I had the V2 and loved them. But ended up trading them for HD800s which I slightly prefer. But either of these options will be good for soundstage. The HD800 has a slightly better timbre but YMMV

New VO arrived in Burmese Padauke and rose gold. I didn't realize there would be red accents, but it works. Amazing work as always @zach915m and team! Time to burn these babies in!
Love the "reddish" Padauk here! The red strap is really a cherry on top.
I had a hard time deciding which one I like more
Funny thing is actually I used to owned Verite Camphor Burl with Brass Grill, and Verite Resin Stabilize Blue/Brown with Black Grill too! In the end my decision was to keep the Stabilize and sold the Camphor Burl (need budget for something else).

The Arya Stealth is a great complement. I've fallen in love with mine lately on tubes as the soundstage feels like it goes on forever. With EQ it's very intoxicating. (I find the stock tuning to be a little bright for EDM especially.)
The planar bass is fantastic on it as well, very much like a sub in the room. It's also great for gaming, however probably not as good as the 800 in that regard, which I haven't personally heard to compare.
We might have the same tastes lol. yeah I would keep both if I can really but most probably I have to follow your path.

Glamour shot! Stunning photo. Probably sounds pretty good, too!
I'm still burning in my new VO (probably 50-60 hours in) and I am really hoping the treble is going to open up some more. How is your coming along?

Great photo!
Ya know, im fighting off a sinus infection right now so I LITERALLY cant hear anything
Not sure if you have or have listened to them with Universe suede or the BE-2 in suede or lambskin but you might prefer those.

good point. I bought the Uni Suede along with the lamb. Have not tried swapping them out yet. That should brighten things up a little.

Perhaps, just like me, BE2 may become your best friend. I always think universe leather is a bit too relax for VO.
Is your favorite the BE2 lamb, suede or hybrid? Thanks.
I bought Atrium with BE2 lamb pads but I use them on my VO.
