postjack Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 On the contrary, I think this is very clear-minded dishonesty, which makes it even worse. I mean, can anyone truly believe his real first impression of the 800s is that they're "sloooooooow"? In politics you're often told to attack the strengths, not the weaknesses. It doesn't matter how ludicrous the accusation, a seed of doubt will take root with at least some listeners/readers. well put. I think its more fun to draw from mark's past behavior and blame his HD800 reaction on craziness, but I would bet he's just bullshitting to drive his business. Quote

Slow is the last thing that comes to mind with the HD800s. And the cure-all cable nonsense is well, just nonsense. I mean I've been known to recable a headphone or 3 but come on, none of them have ever transformed a headphone for me. Subtle tweak, yes, earth-shattering change GTFO. Quote

Hopstretch Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 Yeah, wow, 900 bucks! Another $500 and he could have bought a decent headphone. Quote
rogue Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 markl's balsa-wood cupped and dynamatted D2000's must not be selling so well lately. Imagine any established audio company posting such a "review" about a competitor's product on their own website.. Quote

GPH Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 It's just sad to see BS again like that on H-F after reading all the nice and refreshing CanJam threads. Quote
recstar24 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 i like the part about competing with Sennheiser. stuffing the cups with cotton balls + adding a Jena cable != designing and manufacturing HD800s For real, I mean what does sennheiser know about designing audio electronics and gear:palm: Quote
rogue Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 i thought #1 was the most hilarious. Yeah, that one was great. HD800's slow as molasses? srsly? Quote
blubliss Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 i thought #1 was the most hilarious. That's the one that got me too . Quote
Fitz Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 Maybe he's going for something along the lines of the refuge in audacity trope? Quote
tkam Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 markl and I have been having a little public discussion. can you kick him in the head for me? Quote
Fitz Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 I'd pay to see that happen. I can't stand that douchenozzle. Quote
