I still would like to own one. If the HD800S is great (ordered one), I may sell my HD800, interested? If they are significantly different, I may keep both. I love the hD800.

purk Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 If you guys really want the 800 classic with warranty, it may worth to check out www.headphoneaudiophile.com. He is a friend of mine and should be able to do 15-20% off from retailed by just mentioning my name. Joe Saxon is the owner of this site and he is located in Atlanta, Georgia. They are an authorized retailer as well. I am not sure the discount is applied for the 800S or not. I hope to have the 800S some time in January.

TMoney Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Got an email form TTVJ saying that Senn. pushed back the date on the 800S till mid February. Time to hurry up and wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubliss Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I got mine finally after a long customs wait (got them from Meier). They sound very nice, only listened a little. They are very similar to the original, maybe more weight in the mids and low end. Not sure yet if I will keep the original... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be looking forward to hearing your impressions after you've had some time to live with them for a while. Also I'd love to hear which of your amps you like best with them.

MexicanDragon Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Oh, hello there. I liked, but then I forgot how bad HD800s are, so I unliked. They should be decent for SWBF though. **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMoney Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I met up with some buddies and did a little comparison of the 800S against a modded 800. I liked the 800S better as I thought the mod took a little too much away from the stock 800. That being said, the 800S it's still on the bright side of things and might benefit from a bit of lighter modding or some careful EQ to reduce the treble energy just a bit. The 800S is a damn impressive headphone. I wouldn't buy them if I already owned a pair of modded 800s, but if I was choosing between a new 800 or 800S the S is the easy winner. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMoney Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Nice to see Tyll's full review. So the HD800S is a fix to the HD800's most glaring (ha!) issue, but not necessarily an upgrade over a properly modded HD800. http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/sennheiser-hd-800-s-tweaked-and-delightfuland-french-diy-response#VuYqRTimQI3XdHvB.97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
