Reply to A few of my favorite things by JohnFromNewYork-LI

This is really interesting, I'm a bit confused about the drivers though. Are they a proprietary design you are having manufactured specifically for you, or are they available for anyone to buy online?

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Anyone else playing warzone with stereo headphones? …….Taking a break from playing until next Thursday for Warzone2. I hope to continue to maximize my competitive advantage with these HD800s. I can hear other players before they hear me. by [deleted]

>Again Since you are slow

Now you're hating on me just because I disagree with you.

Again, unless the "similar skilled" players are two dumb silver/gold/plat skilled players, that don't have any game sense, you might get an advantage, and even so, only if the game have a good audio engine, like R6S, not in games like Valorant, APEX and most other competitive games, where audio engine is just pure garbage, where having an HD800S might distract you instead of help, because instead of just hearing the fucking footsteps, you're hearing a lot more, useless, distratcting information.

And I'll not discuss it anymore, I feel like you won't get my point, and I'll not get yours either.

As I was reading your impressions, my thoughts were you would probably like the Hifiman tuning...

> Sundaras(still my fav so far just not enough bass energy for me. looking at the aryas.

If the Arya's are on the table, and you want more dynamics and tactility, also consider the HE6se v2 - assuming you are based in the US.

Some people have found it to be a bit of lottery with these, but all I can share is my own experience, which I've owned since March of 2021, and has been flawless. Your amp should be able to drive them too, and if anything, it may finally be getting a real workout. :)

Ear sizzling is the best way I can describe the 1990s. The 770s had a bit of sibilance too but acceptable for me. When I owned the 1990s(about a year and a couple months ago) I wasnt very knowledgeable about EQ yet. If I owned them today, I'd definitely give it a shot because they were great otherwise. They were very heavy too which I didn't think I'd ever care about but was pretty noticable. I just feel like I get 80% of the sound with the 770s and have found signatures I like better at this point.

Small indie bands have shitty production anyways, a higher bitrate won't help much, if the song is good, enjoy it for the artistic merit.

Also support them, they'll invest more in production if the demo does well, I've seen this happening a couple times.
