Dear all,   this is a very interesting headphone. The removable cable is a step in the right direction. I wonder if the semi-open design prevents disturbances of the surrounding. When I use my HD800 my family always makes comments on the music that we hear ….   Unfortunately I can´t come to...

I think high end is to 90% a mental thing. I have a Burmester 061 CD Player, this is very expensive gear (to my checking account), but i hear no difference between this player and my old creek or NAD cd players (and I think there is no difference). But I love this well grafted player, it is...

Hi Luczamic,   according to your question at the beginning:I think the HD800 is a high class headphone. If it is worth its prize? Well i think you´ll have to compare and judge by yourself.   The opinions in this forum seems to have a wide range, not only concerning the quality of...

Quote:   Hi Fugue,   a couple of month ago, I desided to buy headphones instead of active monitors. I compared the Stax Lamdas signature to Sennheisser HD800 and Grado GS1000i and the Signatures to the Omegas.   To my ears the sound signature of the Lamdas are comparable to the...

Hello Senjy,     Quote:     Pacebo, that is exactly the thing in over 90% of cases when it comes to electronic, DACs or cables. I am into audio for more than 25 years and my scepticism about big differrences in electronic (expecially DACs) increases more and more (perhaps it is...

  Quote: Hello Purrin,   I agree, expereince has nothing to do with number of posts or amount of headphones owned and so on. But it is possible that the criteria of what I find improtant on a sound-reproduction changes (correct image of instrument, dynamic extension, correct...

Quote: Hello Brat,   do you think the Lamda´s impress with sound tricks? But you are right, I will listen to the Omegas a second time. BTW do you enjoy The Sisters on your Omega?   Frege    

  Quote: Hello Chris,   thank you for your suggestions.   I think, this issue is a bit simmilar to the flavour of wine. Here my preferences have changed dramatically during the past years. I attribute this change to my grown experience with wine. But a new headphone (especially...

Quote: Hello Purrin,   thank you for your reply.  I have noticed the controverse disussion of the O2mkII in many forums. Actually I like the sound of my old Stax Gamma´s, but sometimes I notice an overemphasis of the treble, therfore I ask myself, if I will be into more laidback...

  Quote:   Deadlylover,   could you please tell me what the mk2/A version is? Are there different versions of the sr 007 mkII?   Frege  

Quote: Dear wind016,   sorry for the confusion, I talked about the sr 007 mkII (O2 mk2).   Frege

Quote: Dear deadlylover,   thank you for the link, that is really an interesting text. I think i will hear the O2 again because i am interested in understandig what some audiophiles like so much on these headphone under the premise that these cans make something right independently...
