I DONT CARE

ITS SO FUCKING DUMB, I SWEAR WHEN I HAND PEOPLE MY CLEAR THEY GO TO PUT IT BACKWARDS ALL THE TIME

FUCKING SKILL ISSUE

BRO IS JUST FROM WINDOW WORLD

Yea I'm still working my way through the "buy new thing" temptation every few months. I love hearing my favorite music with different presentations but at some point I'm going to have to settle tf down and stick with a few pairs. I'm working on building a set of maybe 4 of my favorites.

It’s because they make music sound very unique, I’ve found almost no track sounds 1:1, while they all have that “bubble” the 800s is known for, the portrayal is different for every song. It’s hard to describe unless you’ve heard it for awhile, then you might understand. But yeah, they almost never get old because of their uniqueness.

Bear in mind, these are headphones. They will never replicate speakers in a room. I think the reason why I’m still impressed is that I use them maybe an hour or two every day, I give myself a decent break from them compared to other people in this hobby that would use headphones a lot more often. Taking these mental breaks is important to not feeling the urge to buy something every few months lol

The face of this subreddit at this point.

That’s pretty impressive stuff. To still get that sensation this far into ownership is unusual.

Also those monitors are waaayyyyy too high up, bad ergonomics

His Posture...damn.

The best thing I want AI to do in music is to be able to automatically assign audio channels to old records. Give me retroactive channel mapping

They’re definitely a lot more spacious sounding than the hd600s. They’re the closest I’ve heard to a speaker setup in headphones. So long as you temper your expectations, I think you’ll be blown away. I’ve had my pair since last June and I still get shocked every now and again by them

Thanks for letting me know. I’ve tried some other high end headphones like the Focal Clear OG and LCD-X so I do have some experience with limiting expectations a bit. This hobby is really about marginal improvements in the grand scheme of things so I’m not expecting to be blown out of the water. I expect they’ll be a nice pairing with my HD 600s.

If they're IEMs, it's possible that one of their filters is clogged. This caused an imbalance on my Etymotics a couple years ago, and I fixed it in about a minute by replacing the filter. You aren't putting these in right after showering, by any chance?

You didn’t know? All the cool kids pee their pants and wear their premium headphones backwards… duh

Its not a big ask. Left and right. Wow.

Thanks for the responses all! Sounds like no harm done but will be more careful in the future

The polarity of the sound waveform would be inverted (some people can hear it under some circumstances but its a subtle difference) or mismatched between channels (this is easy to hear), but otherwise, completely harmless.

You're fine. I did the same thing at first and nothing bad happened. Just switch them around and you're golden.

Thats great!!!

You get paid in Smarch?

OH MY GOD WHY DON'T PEOPLE FUCKING CHECK LEFT AND RIGHT

Someone tell him to fix his posture

Mine have been gathering dust the last year. Hardly used them. :(

I got my HD800 for £500 on eBay. SDR mod them (which is easy) and you've got something better.

the the 8xx are a bargain, you can get them used for ~$650
