Nature vs Machine - ZMF Auteur vs Sennheiser HD800 and HD800S Comparison 

I’ve heard the HD800S on a pretty incredible chain. They sound distant, sterile and unengaging. I’ve heard it said that they’re a completely different sound profile to the 600 series, and while that’s true, they both offer that signature Sennheiser boredom!

Comfort is most important...without comfort its not a good headphone

Are those the classics?

Good to see you back I thought you were toast. : )

Im rocking ZMF VC's right now, just got rid of my HD800S.. It was the right choice for me, and sound better too. Nice vid. Next up for me is some pad rolling, not sure what I'm after on that front quite yet though.

Whats the “BEST” Dac and amp to use for the HD 800 s .

One of these brands is overly hyped and quite overrated for me. I’d rather not say which one coz i know I would get a lot of haters for it. 🤣

Are the Auteur and Eikons no longer available on the ZMF website? I couldn't find them there.

Auteur rejected after 1 hour A-B test vs the HD800s. Auteur - bad comfort, big flaw in the build (extra head strap does nothing), strange FR replay, I find some strange coloration, think they have less detail but more sharp peaks, smaller sound stage. After this A-B test I decided to take the chance with an Eikon. Now regret it - bad service, uncomfortable, same flaw in the build, poor technicalities and sound stage. My opinion is that ZMFs are overpriced.
