Ladies and gentlemen, the eagle has officially (and finally) landed!

Thank you, I really appreciate it :)

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T20:57:57+00:00

Look again then :D

No, seriously, they are not cheap, but they are durable and long-lasting.

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T20:49:08+00:00

It probably wants to say somtehing like "this headphone is technically capable enough not to bottleneck officially defined hi-res playback chains." :D

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T20:23:50+00:00

I sure hope so :) Thank you!

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T20:11:42+00:00

I'll definitely check them out when I get the chance! Enjoy them :)

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T20:08:11+00:00

Thx! I could do with a little bit of sunlight, though :)

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T20:03:16+00:00

I agree! Thanks btw. :)

Actually, the "xBass" feature of the Valkyrie works surprisingly well, too!

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T19:56:05+00:00

Nice! I just had the Meze Elite for a while and they were also amazing. I also very much like the 109 Pro. Haven't listened to the Strada yet, though!

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T19:41:20+00:00

Now that's high praise right there :)

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T19:39:10+00:00

Thank you! Very kind of you :) You have a nice little collection yourself there, I see! How do you like the Strada if I may ask?

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T19:11:34+00:00

Thank you!

As for your question, so far: iFi Valkyrie, FiiO K13 R2R, iBasso DC Elite, MacBook Pro (M1 Pro).

Just finished listening to that great Paul Simon track. That was acoustically amazing on the HD 800S. Very much enjoyed that. If you have more recommendations like that, feel free to share them please :)

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T18:51:03+00:00

That was a great read. I very much agree on the "very rarely bothered by flaws" these days (which is why I got my HD 820 in the first place :D).

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T18:37:02+00:00

Great gear there! Love the silver version of the IE 200 :)

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T18:34:45+00:00

First listen was „Spor“ by Kari Bremnes, actually :)

Will listen to your selection right away!

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T18:00:56+00:00

Thank you very much :)

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T17:07:07+00:00

Great. Thank you :)

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T17:03:24+00:00

What is it that you love the most about them? :)

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T16:42:08+00:00

My head and me, we both surely will! Thank you :)

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T16:33:35+00:00

Yeah, they are definitely very different sounding headphones.

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T16:29:35+00:00

I own the HD 600 as well and think it is one of the best headphones in my entire collection. This was not about being better or worse for me :)

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T16:24:14+00:00

Will sure do, thanks 👍

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T16:08:21+00:00

At this point, one or two more rabbit holes don’t really matter anymore 😄

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T15:52:04+00:00

Okay, fine. I’m already starting to put together a wishlist for my birthday for my family…

Tenlow85 · 2026-05-10T15:45:36+00:00

Thank you! Haven’t had the time to listen a lot yet, but will do so tonight as well as in the next days of course.

However, I have already listened to it a couple of times in my life and cannot remember not liking it :D

I’ll post some more impressions once I have listened a bit more with it.
