screaming oranges Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I am enjoying the HD800. I think I expected too much from them though. This is not to say I don't like them, but that I was expecting a different type of sound signature, and this is not it. Don't ask me what type of sound signature I was looking for, I just expected something that would make me go "whoa!" But these are keepers. One thign I have noticed though, is that I do get some sibilance on certain recordings that I never got before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yikes Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I can finally post about the HD-800's. I listened to them Balanced with three amps; My Phoenix, an M3, and a B52. Now I'm not the biggest fan of the B52, every time I've heard it it's sounded bloated in the Bass. Well with the HD-800's the B52 was the only amp that I tried that made them sound good (Not great), with the m3 they sounded OK, and with the Phoenix less so. With the Phoenix they sounded kind of flat and un-dynamic. Makes me wonder what that idiot ipodPJ has been smoking with his raves about the HD-800 and his Phoenix. IMO it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinp6301 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I personally think the balanced m3 was the best with the hd800s and the B-52 made them sound muddy and unfocused. It might have been the source (cary vs meridian) I thought they were good, not great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkless Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I wonder if the sources for the amps at the meet might've been inadequate or just poor matches, considering that the HD800 sounds very good in my rig, even when amped by the Pico. Next week I'll hopefully receive a Headamp GS-X. From what I've read, it has a very neutral and transparent character. I'm looking forward to hear what it can do when coupled with my Weiss DAC1-MK2 and HD800. Now I just need a balanced cable for the HD800. Unfortunately Alex seems pretty busy and a 6ft APS V3 cable w. Neutrik XLR connectors and super nylon sleeving would cost me $350, not including shipping and 25% VAT. Too bad that the amp purchase pretty much left me with no spare cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Headroom sells a balanced HD800. You might want to see if they'll sell just the cable. It would be a lot less than other custom cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Or just order a stock cable and have someone reterminate it for you. Note- I'm not volunteering for that job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have mad soldering skillz? I managed to re-terminate several stock hd650 cables 4 pin , 3 pin XLR balanced, (+ 1/4 + 1/8 inch) SE in an afternoon, pre Can Jam on my first attempt, thanks to DIY info on the web here and there. And they still work! Empower yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeggy Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Yes the 800 is a funny wee animal indeed. I don't think it's necessarily a love/hate thing with them, I thought they were ok, better than the vast majority of schlep out there. I didn't find them very interesting sounding, nice but didn't quite tweak my nipples. They do have a shoutyness to them and their bass, while tight and extended, lacked power and effortless smack that I really like. They are comfy, really fit well and look ok, well, ugly still but I could live with it if they sounded more to my tastes. I didn't have an extended listen and I didn't think I needed to. For my ears they weren't doing the things I really like. Thats not to say they're bad, not for me though and they're not planar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkless Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I won't mod the stock cable of the HD800. I'll be attending the upcoming Danish head-fi meet in two months and I want people there to be able to experience what it sounds like with the stock cable. I'll wait and see how it sounds unbalanced out of the GS-X. Then I'll decide if it's worth it to get an aftermarket cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabbi1 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 If Gamerphile (he's in Denmark, iirc) is there, he will have a balanced cable. And, Alex offers retermination for a reasonable price. You can also get some hd800 connectors from him at a reasonable price to roll one yourself. Be warned that a replacement stock cable is (was for me) $163, so there are no cheap alternatives, save picking up an existing balanced cable, and use some hd800 connectors. Not the easiest thing to do, but there is help available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
