HiFiInsider Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thank you Chris for embedding it. Please school me on how to do it. http://www.youtube.com/hifiguy528/videos Link to comment
esldude Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Nicely done, thank you for taking the time to do this. I own some Beyer DT880's which are not like the T1's exactly though their appears to be family resemblence. But they fit comfortably, are satisfying long term, and very well made. I can only expect the T1's are more so. Also, just like speakers, get a good amp for good headphones just as you suggest. It is crucial for getting the most out of them. I suppose one suggestion would be for you to include which things you tried each headphone with that either did a good job with them or failed to bring out the best it was capable of. You did mention an Ipod wouldn't do it. And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain. We all have them, it’s nothing to be ashamed about, but it is something that affects our objective evaluation of reality. Link to comment
HiFiInsider Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 I was trying to keep the video under 8 min. I will definetly try to work the amps into future reviews. I welcome other tips to improve the videos. http://www.youtube.com/hifiguy528/videos Link to comment
KDinsmore Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I had the T-1's. The Audeze LCD2.2's just kill them!

christian u Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I have the hd800 and am very satisfied. For the quality they offer I even find them cheap. Link to comment
dalethorn Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I was trying to keep the video under 8 min. I will definetly try to work the amps into future reviews. I welcome other tips to improve the videos. I've gotten slammed for saying this in the past, but it's as true now as ever: You can hear the superiority of the HD800 over any other dynamic headphone I've heard, on an iPod. It's that good, that its superior reproduction of upper harmonic detail shows through on the lowliest of amplifiers. Link to comment
oso Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I agree.I find that even without a proper amp,plugged straight into my samsung smartphone, the HD800 is still superior to my other phones. At the office I have a cheap superlux HA 3 headphone amp together with a Behringer usb dac,and the sound is amazing. Link to comment
Audio Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The HD800 is king. Dump the stock cable and buy the Cardas Clear cable to replace it. If your headphone amp allows it, buy the Balanced version if possible, it makes a lot of difference. I know because I bought both the Balnaced and Unbalanced versions. I am using the Bryston BHA-1 headphone Amp, switching between Mytek 192 Stereo and Bel Canto 3.5 MkII VBS DAC. Playback off a MacBook Air linked to a 8TB Thunderbolt drive. (Audio) Link to comment
oso Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Sennheiser is making a replacement cable for the hd800 them self now.Did anybody try it or compare it with the Cardas? Link to comment
oso Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 just saw this one,nice soundtrack,video a bit long. unboxing the amazing sennheiser hd 800 Link to comment
MarkS Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I think the cable company will lend you both of these. I tend to listen to the LCD-3's a bit more often, but the HD800 is an excellent headphone. - Mark Synology DS916+ > SoTM dCBL-CAT7 > Netgear switch > SoTM dCBL-CAT7 > dCS Vivaldi Upsampler (Nordost Valhalla 2 power cord) > Nordost Valhalla 2 Dual 110 Ohm AES/EBU > dCS Vivaldi DAC (David Elrod Statement Gold power cord) > Nordost Valhalla 2 xlr > Absolare Passion preamp (Nordost Valhalla 2 power cord) > Nordost Valhalla 2 xlr > VTL MB-450 III (Shunyata King Cobra CX power cords) > Nordost Valhalla 2 speaker > Kaiser Kaewero Classic /JL Audio F110 (Wireworld Platinum power cord).
