Hopstretch Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 Rather like the reported Aussie Hi-Fi magazine summary of the HD800s: "Stupidly detailed, with bowel-moving bass." Way with words, they have.

tyrion Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 My HD800 shipped today. It should arrive after I leave for LA.
guzziguy Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 That will teach you for being an early adopter. It's another prime example of "no good deed goes unpunished".
tyrion Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 I don't have a problem with it. They will be here on Monday when I return from LA. Todd would have sent them overnight to me but I told him there was no need. I will hear them on Friday and/or Saturday.
n_maher Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 You should have had them sent to the hotel, duh!
Edwood Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 Wow, Sennheiser kind of fucked HeadRoom. Seeing as how they are sharing a room at CanJam, might make for some interesting moments. Overall, poor timing on Sennheiser's part overall.

HeadphoneAddict Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 I was really hoping with the rumors of shipping this week that I'd have my HD800 to try out on the Woo WA22 or EC ZDT, but the HD800 wont even ship to HR till tomorrow, so we'll only be able to listen to them on HR or TTVJ's gear.

Todd is supposed to have a pair in his room. And that's a pretty big kick in the nuts to Headroom that Todd has his now and HR has orders in for hundreds of units.

Overall, poor timing on Sennheiser's part overall. I don't believe that was the case. As I understand it, Todd requested that they ship to him overnight. I hope I am not talking out of school.
Dusty Chalk Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 I don't believe that was the case. As I understand it, Todd requested that they ship to him overnight. I hope I am not talking out of school.Still seems unfair. And: is that a colloquialism I haven't heard yet?
blessingx Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 I've never heard it either, but at least 12,100 have 12,100 have. Pretty small number.
pabbi1 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 Mine will be here Friday, but the spare cable hasn't shown - maybe tomorrow.
grawk Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 Still seems unfair. And: is that a colloquialism I haven't heard yet? yes

Well, it turns out one of the two pair in Todd's room is mine, which everyone will listen to at CanJam and then will be going home with me.
Iron_Dreamer Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 You hear that, Peter? Beeley gets to man the Registration Booth during the Raffles. or at least just before them on Sunday, with 909!
blubliss Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 Ok, so some very initial impressions.... The phones fit nicely on the head, not too snug. You won't want to be moving around too much with these on if it is warm, pads are warmish, that is, they heat up the ear area for me. My first thoughts are that this is a "nice" headphone which means to me that it is fun and warm, the basic Sennheiser sound IME. They are more detailed and soundstage is larger than previous HD models, but the general flavor is still around. Consider that I am putting them next to the R10s, HE90, SR-Omega in my mind so they have a lot to live up to. They do not have the same spot on tonality or soudstage as the R10s, not yet. Maybe they will get closer when balanced. And I definitely would like to try some different driver tubes with these, I think that will make a difference. The bass for me is very nice, tight and not overboard, like the L3000 can be on my amp. The amount is just right for me, but I am definitely not a basshead anymore, although I thought I was at some point. When I started listening to the R10s and HE90, that changed. I like a balanced presentation, which the HD800 has. It is not as extended on the top end (as my other phones) but still gives a lot of detail/nice presentation. Anyway, I can see myself keeping these and listening when I just want to relax and listen to music in a "fun" manner. They do provide enjoyment. I found myself smiling in the usual places when listening to my favorites. More to follow.....
cclragnarok Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 You won't want to be moving around too much with these on if it is warm, pads are warmish, that is, they heat up the ear area for me. That's interesting. Are they hotter/warmer than the other popular open headphones like the HD650, K701, DT880, RS-1, Omega II, etc?
