The HD-800 is the ultimate headphone to deliver nature.
Huh. All rights reserved. It may be worth noting that my HD800 was one of the first 150 or so built, and more recent models seem to reflect a few more decibels in their gentle 100hz bump.That said, the em stimulus signal, up to the start of processing are well understood but you're right, it looks like interpreting the information (visual and associative cortex) doesn't seem to be all that well. He's a member of AES, he's highly regarded as one of the top mastering engineers in the audio world, and he rewired his entire studio with expensive cable because he heard a difference and the difference was enough for him to rip out all of the old cable and to rewire it. !you seem to have a naive understanding of neuroscience, especially cognitive neuroscience :)Great review Tyll...had to sign up to say you nailed it. There are simply a lot of factors that will dictate if you hear the differences or not and over what period of time.These differences are only possible because these headphones are capable of delivering this level of performance and resolution and involvement with the music in the first place....with this review of the Beyerdynamic T1 from Tyll 1.0 during his Headroom days where he says the treble is "grain-free and liquid", and then goes on to stamp it as one of the best dynamics in existence:Was close to buying these until I read his comments in this thread and discovered the measurements over at changstar .com. never pegged you for a romantic of that sort. Both the Audeze LCD-X and the Sennheiser HD 800 are incredible headphones. For me not at cognitive biases and placebo relating to audio :)It was a lovely read, it even made me looking up these hd 800 for cheap prices while i'm still enjoying my hd 700.Judging by ear, my SN51xx T1 seem to be more inline with your SN3964 than the earlier pair. some like them....The actual truth is that the $900 SRM-323S can drive the SR-009 perfectly well. It matters to lots of us who are trying to stop and smell the (rare and most valuable) roses where they can be found. Why? Cable debates, analog vs digital....why are people so compelled to modify anothers belief....insecurity maybe...?I don't doubt that Mr. Ludwig heard a difference, but that does not mean that the difference exists. God gave me one set of ears, and I choose to trust them because there is no alternative that doesn't come with a side order of silly.They are an incredible instrument for hearing so much of the audible information that is available.Thanks for the great review on the HD 800s. Indeed my experiments thus far just keep opening them up more and more, with a wider and deeper and more involving and more revealing experience of the music.The two T1s you have tested have surprisingly different measurements.As it stands, I find my T1 to have better bass impact and less sibilance than my HD800. Period, full stop. So if the music itself or the DAC or ANY of the audio chain contributes it's own sonic 'thumbprint' you'll hear that too. Slick!Yes! With other headphones I can as well, but my choices were less accurate.
I compared them with Muses and Project Ember (not STX, just for those naysayers). The design is said to produce less distortion than conventional drivers.These e-bikes will help you get around while public transit is limited.

England and Wales company registration number 2008885. Are NS-10's junk? The Sennheiser HD 800 S take the classic HD 800 and smooth off the treble slightly. The HD 800s perfectly distributed their 330-gram weight on my head, and ear pad pressure felt just right. On the other hand, while the Sennheiser HD 800 has an accurate width, its depth and height are more subtle and not as clear. I'll be over in the corner enjoying my music.I know I trust Sennheiser's engineers designed and built what they determined to be exactly the right cable for their flagship cans. Is it the best headphone for musical enjoyment?
Who would you listen to in that comparison? who are these regulators you speak of, specifics please, and what industry deals with placebo effects with they're products, again, be specific, no generalities please.The track that I primarily use to evaluate bass response in headphones is "From Ankara to Izmir," from the Jerry Douglas/Russ Barenberg/Edgar Meyer record "Skip Hop & Wobble?"
