Good video!

A somewhat helpful addition to the validity of your review Mr Chuck may have been to enlighten us as to what equipment this comparison was made from. consequently I am still unsure. headphones much like loudspeakers are merely the last link in a chain.

Hello ! Nice review, i have the 660s do u believe i should upgrade to hd800s or lcd2 ? Do u think the lcd2c is better than hd800s ? Thank u sir

@chuckolatte600 4 года назад

So LCD-2C is more of an upgrade for the 660s/6XX as opposed to the 600. The HD800s are WAY brighter and will probably require EQ if you're upgrading from the hd6xx line like me lol. HOWEVER, I feel there might be better options at the price point of the 2C. LCD-2 used prices are great though. TL:DR: For detail and brightness, HD800S w/EQ. For musicality and coloration, LCD-2. Also WAY different price points so...

Great video.... Decided to keep the 800 after seeing this 800s seems to be a downgrade I thank the reviewer

Hell yeah 🦎

@NO-tj5pf 4 года назад

I like that cable

@tnarch 3 года назад

nice review! is it worth buying aftermarket cable considering the audio performance? have after market much better sound quality? thx

@chuckolatte600 3 года назад

For sound quality, nah not really. Do it for the comfort, length, and different types of connectors. For example, if you're already looking to buy a BAL cable, you may as well go the full nine yards and get a custom one.

@tnarch 3 года назад

@@chuckolatte600 thanks for the reply my friend...

@gwapster13 3 года назад

Surprised that the HD800S actually sounded brighter. Nice detailed comparison.

@chuckolatte600 3 года назад

Me too, haha

@Piers811 3 года назад

The cables are interchangeable between these two right?

@chuckolatte600 3 года назад

yep

@spooks8627 2 года назад

Your sound stage example was the the reasoning why I bought the 800 after owning the 800s. And honestly after owning both for half a year, i apologize but I have to call bullshit on your soundstage comment, they are the same in that regard. Also the 800 has a bit more volume on the bass region that the 800s, believe ot or not. Lastly the 800s can be still sibilant just as the 800 in certain songs but but sure is an improvement.

Excellent review. Like and new sub. Must say I cannot agree more about the cables. They are absolute trash and a nightmare to use. I threw them in a bin somewhere in storage and purchased aftermarket ones. They become far more comfortable without those heavy lamp cords ripping the headphones off your head. I also found these to perform vastly different between amplifiers. I am fortunate in my friends and tried my 800S on a variety of them. I did eventually settle on the S version but I have tried both and do mostly agree with your assessment.

@chuckolatte600 4 года назад

Nice! What aftermarket cable did you get for it? Just curious...

@sebanambrus9265 2 года назад

The old HD800 got the biggest soundstage and more clarity ?

@chuckolatte600 2 года назад

Idk about clarity, but the soundstage is the larger of the two

@spooks8627 2 года назад

They are the same honestly, I own them both. At least for sure they don't sound like the sound is being spread in a circle or square like represented here.
