October 20, 200916 yr comment_287185 I know everyone is like soo over the HD800 -- gag me with a JH13 -- but these puppies are wicked with a good analog source. That slightly clinical edge is perfectly set off by the more natural and energetic presentation you can get from vinyl. In fact, for the first time, I prefer listening to the Senns over the Quads. They grew balls, Dinny! I'm going to have kuboten send an O2 to your house COD. It's good to hear that your 800's balls dropped. After spending a lot of time with the HF-2 and the Headphiled HD650, I do miss the speed, resolution, and bassial (that's a made up word) accuracy of the 800. Overall, my impression of the 800 as the best dynamic can out there has not changed. Sounds like I need to check them out on a vinyl rig, but that's a slippery slope. Report
October 20, 200916 yr comment_287187 I will own a pair someday. Headphones too (!)I don't get it. No, seriously, I lollered. Report

October 20, 200916 yr comment_287203 the HD650s are also outstanding with vinyl. much bigger difference between vinyl and digital then with other cans. Report
October 20, 200916 yr comment_287270 Both sound great. But only when sourced through the Buffalo 64............. Report
October 20, 200916 yr comment_287277 Brent had that setup when I went to visit him. He also taught me some tips on how he got so ripped. Report
October 20, 200916 yr comment_287306 Wot no O3s? whoa whoa whoa I didn't want to get that crazy maybe O2 MKIII? Report
October 20, 200916 yr comment_287364 Mk3 with the improved parts but the sound of the Mk1... Mk1 + Mk2 = Mk3. That's what I have then Report
October 20, 200916 yr comment_287369 I thought you had a BL with Mk2 pads? There is more to the Mk2 then just the pads... Report
October 21, 200916 yr comment_287684 I thought you had a BL with Mk2 pads? There is more to the Mk2 then just the pads... yup, Mk1 + Mk2 (pads) = Mk3 The pads are the really useful part from the Mk2 though Report
October 21, 200916 yr comment_287699 The pads are the really useful part from the Mk2 though I'm sure you won't be saying that if you accidentally step on your MK1 cable while wearing them and they detach from the housing. Report
October 21, 200916 yr comment_287715 I'm sure you won't be saying that if you accidentally step on your MK1 cable while wearing them and they detach from the housing. Oohh nice one way to put fear in every mk1 owner's head Report
October 21, 200916 yr comment_287719 I'm sure you won't be saying that if you accidentally step on your MK1 cable while wearing them and they detach from the housing. This is why I coil my O2 cable into the desk and never trail it on the floor and up. Report
October 21, 200916 yr comment_287744 Oohh nice one way to put fear in every mk1 owner's head I live in perpetual fear of doing that. Report
October 21, 200916 yr comment_287758 yup, Mk1 + Mk2 (pads) = Mk3 The pads are the really useful part from the Mk2 though I do like the new cable entry (sans port naturally) and the snug fit of the new headpad but then again I have a massive head. I'd say a modded mk2 is the mk3 though... Report
October 22, 200916 yr comment_287812 I like the fit 'n' finish of the mk2 very much. A lot more comfortable, IMO. I did not find the 800 to be as comfortable as I had hoped. The earpads are great, but I don't like the headband. Report
