Goddamnit.

Now i'll have to drive my cab for even longer.

FUFUFUFUFUFUFUUFUUFUFU...

Yeah. Its known that HD600 sound better than HD650.

hmm tyle from headroom did the 1st impression
he is 1 picky fella bout headphones and say hd800 even can rival to omega II and sony r10....
i guess if i get this hd800 maybe be the end of the road for me.......

It looks that way for many.

I'm holding my breath though. I had high hopes for the GS1k but was terribly disappointed on first listen.

Somehow this -really- seems to be something else.

anyway i jus waiting for the price to drop....and i wan to c ppl like Justin, Ray Samuels or Meier to audit or maybe Six Moon as well, they r more than trustworthy source....and i think they able to find a blind spot for this legendary headset...
well Jude and Tyle r the big man in headfi mentioned the weakness of all the greatest headphones they heard b4
but only thing they couldnt find any weakness bout hd800....suprisingly Tyle used only his ipod with idock station and Benchmark headamp section to hear it.......dunno he was exaggerating or wat
if other audiophile like u with b22 or super high end stuff i think HD800 able to dethrone omegas II and sony r10......and well u dun need to spend a bomb on the amp well only get a balanced xlr cable .....then finish....
decision decision .....

soundstage + sennheiser sound is what I want/need.

I was really uncomfortable with having to make a decision between the K1000 and the HD600. If I could, I wouldn't have sold the K1000.

I was really liking the K1000's soundstage but it was lacking the fullness of the HD600. The HD600 lacked the detail and soundstage of the K1000.

The HD800 seems to get these spot on for me. I will have to hear them to be sure.

after u had it recable to xlr for yur hd600 still cannot compare to k1000?
most sens benefit much from xlr if i may say so
heard my friends can's hd650 xlr balanced is a different beast from former shadow
the soundstage is way beyond.....

i saw 1 of yui's mv using this headphone in her mv

it's not out yet. so no, you saw wrong.

look like stefan aledi came out with cables for hd800
well the price is legendary as well....

fking rip off. I'm sure APS and Moon Audio can do the HD800 at their current price of 300

nah i get it diy by 1 of my friends who did the cables for my modded hd650
fair price and i only pay him for the cables and plugs

Yesh, what cables are you interested in.

I've always been curious about their individual proprietary blends.

well i got source for UP-OCC or CP-OCC cables here OCC cables as well
i dun like other cable like tfl or ofc....they make my music sound flat and boring not clean the source and somehow choking the sound signature
for good example hd600 and hd650 using tfl cables.... laidback,muddy,veilly and bass bloated...i sure u noticed it with yur hd600 still lacking the dynamics
UP-OCC = Ultra Pure Ohno Continous Casting = charactestic warm,detail,dynamics and very transparent = silver or copper element or hybrid,pure 99.99998% Unicrystal OCC Ohno Continous Casting method with teflon tubing
PC-OCC=Pure Crystal Ohno Continous Casting same as above but different naming however also developed by Proffesor Ohno from Japan
here is a review bout the cables from 10 audio
http://www.10audio.com/5_balanced_cables.htm

the problem with most of these cables is that they don't come in the quad wiring.

The Mogami 2534 does (Neglex, I believe) and is the one I'm using.

There's also a Vampire cable with 4 wires and of course the cheaper Canare Starquad.

i got canare starquad as well my first try with it lol
mogami is very good cable and vampire as well
they r not stress free for that the dissadvantages of it...
i also afraid to bend my cables or damage it
well it is a give or take thing unless u send it for cryogenix....unless u get the nordost cable for it.....

huh, you're very keen on throwing brand names eh?

The APS and Moon Audio cable is more flexible than my current Neglex. The Neglex is a microphone cable which need not be flexible on stage performance applications.

However, it is a known fact that their cables are not shielded. They claim that their braiding technique allows them not to use shielding. But ionno.

I don't like the design, i find it a lil bit too "crowded". Maybe its just me =P

I don't understand the fuss about the design, and I never will. It was designed purposefully.

If it sounds good, does it matter how it looks?

brand names lol
well jus teasing u onli lol
anyway i need to hear whether it worth the price or not
some how i think braiding also help reduce electrical interference and make it more durable and less microphonics
well is their techniques we r consumer onli can guess afterall
