HD 800 S

I have not heard the HDB 630, but I will say that price, or even the fact that it's wireless are not significant limitations. There are things cheaper Sennheiser models that do some things better than the HD 800 S, in my opinion. A good example is the midrange and treble of the HD 600 and HD 650, fo

Hmmm, you might be correct. It could be overblown. I think there could be a few different things to consider. In recent years, more people are sharing their audio related experiences online, and there are more forums online to show it. This could mean that we are just seeing a larger number of negat

Nice! The extra pop of colour gives off "Flame vinyls on a sports car" in a good way :) The stock cable of the HD 800 series is well built and it is thoughtful of Sennheiser to include multiple of them for how much they cost.

I own the HE1000se and all I do is game on it. I had the Sennheiser HD 490 Pro and the HD 800 S as well. Those were great for gaming and especially the 800 S for competitive play.

The HD 800 S will probably be more similar sounding to your Arya depending on how well it seals on your head, and how much treble you

Sennheiser HD 800 S or Audeze. You don’t just hear music. I hear space, texture, breath. Songs I’ve known for years suddenly have layers I never noticed. It is unsettling.

Ive had my 630’s for a few weeks now. I believe the only points I agree with would be the material being left oily after use (I do a quick wipe off with my shirt and haven’t had any issues) and the gesture controls being awful, which I just disabled altogether. As far as comfort, I don’t find them “

Sennheiser HD 800 S. Nothing else compares.

Agree completely - The sound on the HDB 630s is incredible, particularly for anyone not biased towards consumer-tuned bass. The Sony XM series trade away detail for bass and (assume) noise cancelling. I used to run dedicated pocket/desk amps with Orivetis and Beyers, I moved to the Sony XM3 for wire
