Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Pristine, powerful, with a super wide open soundstage. They are great (granted you have a adequate amp/dac to power them and provide high quality audio) for dsd256 + mqa. You will need an amp and dac or and amp/dac combo.

These headphones make your source material literally come alive. Super comfortable. In my opinion they are incredible.

The clamping force of the headphones is nice and isn't too harsh. I love the slightly rolled off top end as it virtually eliminates any fatigue or at least drastically cuts down the chances. The padding is all velour, which is a massive pro; because, ... Read More

Cons

Some say the hd800 is too analytical and lacks musicality. Switch to my philips fidelio x3 and no thump whatsoever. They are way overpriced for the sound quality!

The foam and cloth used on them is cheaper, and it shows. I'm disappointed that a simple part that's meant to be replaceable for an expensive pair of headphones is impossible to stock. It appears as if these headphones where returned after being opene... Read More

Overall sound signature is a bit too laid-back, on the dark (warm) side of neutral, a tad sluggish and thick sounding. Three-dimensional realism of solo instruments also suffers. Nothing being imparted to the headphone’s own sound character that could... Read More

Highlights

Quality

Great quality and performs amazing while gaming.

These are very well made, light and comfortable to wear for extended periods.

I also own the almost-identical hd6xx headphones for three years, and they show no sign of the any stitching or fabric coming loose.

Edit: after using these for several months i've been ruined, i can't listen to music without them anymore.

Price

Absolutely worth every penny to save up for them.

To anyone struggling with high frequency, hearing loss of aging, old men out there like me, this is the best headphone i have e... Read More

I snapped these up on sale for $287.

So, i got these with a sale so it was around $300, and i'm sick of the gaming headphone (had astro a50), the bugs, the disconne... Read More

Shipping

I received a pair of these for christmas, by request.

Packaging/appearance

I can say my ears were pleasantly surprised out the gate with outkast -“stankonia” on vinyl.

It was previous opened and the cord was loose and not twist tied and the headphones were actually out of the inside packaging.

I got these open box, they arrived in the original packaging and looked like new.

Competitiveness

I use these to play call of duty, fortnite and other fps games.

My intention: try them out and if they don't sound better than my skullcandy, sony's, bose, and beats, then i will return them.

While this listing is for the 650s, and my review is for the 600s, i still have not the foggiest idea what the difference is be... Read More

If you don't need to be mobile these are better than the bose in a way i can't describe i can just say i noticed.
