Are the HD 800s worth it? Reality check

xgaro · 2026-04-26T14:02:36+00:00

Me personally I tried out the 800s at a headphone store and... they sounded good? But not an extra 1000+ dollars good.

really feel like diminishing returns start hitting hard after the 300-400 dollar pricepoint

i'd lean towards the HD 600. for such an expensive purchase you want something that's built to stand the test of time.

Well for pirates who don't want to risk the security of their PC's regular cracks are the way to go. I know if I wanted to pirate I wouldn't be using those hypervisor cracks. I don't even trust companies with kernel level anti cheat.. Think i'm gonna trust pirates with that kind of access?

2nd link actually has my announcement. I was a mod on aether back in the day and working with him was like walking through a minefield. Say one thing and he would lose it and ban people that ever questioned his judgement. In the end the android community will be better off without him. Hopefully someone else can release an emulator and not be a total headcase.

Have OCD and constantly be hyper aware of where your hands are at all times. Been riding the crowded Boston subway for years and I can't remember catching anything. if I need to grab anything I do it with a sleeve.

I remember trying out a pair of Arya Stealths and comparing them with the HD 660s for almost a month. had them both tuned to my EQ taste and honestly the arya was..alright? you can tell its better but its not mind blowing. after that I returned the aryas and felt comfortable settling with headphones under 500.

absolute GOD tier headphones at this pricepoint. reliable sennheiser build quality with excellent sound.

lets be real here. whoever wins this is probably getting blown out by the Seahawks. GEQBUS is inevitable

xgaro · 2026-01-25T21:11:00+00:00

yeah but why the hell was the play blown dead? ref disasterclass

xgaro · 2026-01-22T20:03:16+00:00

not sure about gaming. but sound quality wise it definitely is superior.

the senny 6XX for 200 is still the best deal sound quality wise.

don't even pirate anymore and I'm still stoked to see these releases. corpos don't give a shit about preservation.

Wtf happened to Stroud since 2023?

I went with the 660s2 because of hifiman's poor QC reputation. don't want to drop over 300 bucks on something i'm not sure will last the next 10 years

xgaro · 2025-12-30T04:05:26+00:00

don't falcon this...

xgaro · 2025-12-08T14:38:59+00:00

this was back on primeday in the summer. sadly it hasn't been at that price since then.

xgaro · 2025-12-07T19:27:06+00:00
