postjack Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 On the contrary, I think this is very clear-minded dishonesty, which makes it even worse. I mean, can anyone truly believe his real first impression of the 800s is that they're "sloooooooow"? In politics you're often told to attack the strengths, not the weaknesses. It doesn't matter how ludicrous the accusation, a seed of doubt will take root with at least some listeners/readers. well put. I think its more fun to draw from mark's past behavior and blame his HD800 reaction on craziness, but I would bet he's just bullshitting to drive his business.

It doesn't matter how ludicrous the accusation, a seed of doubt will take root with at least some listeners/readers. I agree, it's blatant dishonesty. Slow is the last thing that comes to mind with the HD800s. And the cure-all cable nonsense is well, just nonsense. I mean I've been known to recable a headphone or 3 but come on, none of them have ever transformed a headphone for me. Subtle tweak, yes, earth-shattering change GTFO.

rogue Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 markl's balsa-wood cupped and dynamatted D2000's must not be selling so well lately. Imagine any established audio company posting such a "review" about a competitor's product on their own website.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recstar24 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 i like the part about competing with Sennheiser. stuffing the cups with cotton balls + adding a Jena cable != designing and manufacturing HD800s For real, I mean what does sennheiser know about designing audio electronics and gear:palm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
