Pretty linear, well extended with good impact, the 95x bass is lighter with less impact, with more drastic roll off compared to the 95x

Sounds good. I’ll add these to my research list

How’s the soundstage and imaging on these?

Also, would they be good for gaming?

M0N · January 31, 2020, 2:55pm

Soundstage is pretty good for a closed back, it doesn’t rival open backs but it is pretty good for a closed imo. Imaging is still pretty accurate, def not bad by any means

Gaming wise they perform well, no complaints there but I haven’t gamed in them for too long

Do you prefer any of the tuning pads?

M0N · February 2, 2020, 6:48pm

I like the less firm black inserts. How do you feel about the sound so far?

Rhodey · February 2, 2020, 7:49pm

Haven’t received them yet, lol but I’m mentally preparing for my taste. From what I’ve read I think thats the best option.

sluice · February 4, 2020, 12:44am

Also waiting to receive mine!

Dammm, can you believe I got the HD800s and Aeon2 in the same week.

M0N · February 4, 2020, 12:45am

It will feel better once you hear them lol

Rhodey · February 4, 2020, 1:35am

Congrats! I’ll always have a hard time parting from my hd800S.

sluice · February 4, 2020, 1:39am

Thanks!

I feel like until, I give them a shot, I will always wonders how is that huge soundstage that some people rave about and others just find exaggerated.

Worst case, they might become my go to headphones for gaming.
Worst Worst case, they are somewhat easier to resel than some nich brands.

I rave about them, together with you!
Do not listen too much to others, enjoy these headphones first and you will appreciate them for a long Run.

Cheers

By the way, together with the D.C. Aeon 2, a very good choice IMO!

May I ask which amp/DAC you like with those 800s?

anon92727144 · February 4, 2020, 11:42am

All of them : on there own way!

Wow! nice!
But that Luminaire is out of budget! for me

anon92727144 · February 4, 2020, 1:29pm

Sorry, that’s not necessary either.
For example, if you take a combination of the questyle, and this one:

that’s pretty high up in the ranking.

sluice · February 4, 2020, 1:42pm

Thanks!

That’s one of the amp I’m considering, between :

Hagerman lab tuba
Feliks Audio Echo
Woo Audio WA6-SE
Darkvoice 336se with upgraded tubes

The Woo might be overpriced in comparaison to the other and the Darkvoice, I fear will be a disapointed and will end up flipping it quickly for an upgrade. So I suppose it’s between that Feliks and the Hagerman Lab tuba!

anon92727144 · February 4, 2020, 1:49pm

May MON can give You some Information about the Hagerman, because I have no experience with this device.

that would be my choice in this price range!

sluice · February 4, 2020, 2:12pm

He’s indeed the one that suggested it!

I suppose, the big question is… Hagerman Lab Tuba VS Feliks Echo for the HD800S
