MSR7 has a slightly bright tonality, but it's treble is not harsh.  I have more trouble with sibilance with HD800/K702/D2000 then with MSR7.

I feel pretty much the same way.  MSR7 is such an unexpected beast.

Sounds great straight out of my iPhone 6.

I love HD650...probably more than HD800.  MSR7 is just really good.   ???   In any case, the gap between my favorite headphones is pretty small top to bottom...

I can't stop listening to this headphone.  So good!!!  

Out of the ones you've listed, ATH-MSR7 is head and shoulders above the rest.  It is a great performer.

It fits.

Thanks!   I've been mainly using HeadAmp GS-1 and Schiit Modi 2U combo with FSP.  I've also used iPhone 6Plus, and although probably not as dynamic as the GS-1/Modi combo, still quite competent and enjoyable.   I haven't done critical comparison between the two, but off the top of my...

FSP and ATH MSR7 are my my choices for "desert island headphones."  Versatile, neutral, and just great sounding!   Although I'd rather be able to keep my listening corner, lol.

FSP is not that far from high-end stuff in terms of sound quality...i could easily live with it as my only headphone and not feel like I'm missing out on much...

Has anyone had a chance to compare Riva to Audioengine B2?

The stock pads are pretty good, no complaints.  Initial clamping pressure was a little high but it's totally comfortable now after a few days of use.   Man, I still can't believe how good these phones sound...so glad I gave it a try.

Been enjoying MSR7 for several days now...my early impression is these are one of the best headphones I've heard at any price.  Seriously impressed...

Recently joined the Focal Professional club.  I must say, these headphones are really good.  Neutral, good dynamics and presence, transparent and non-fatiguing.  Thankfully these are decently comfortable on my head (I have average sized head and ears) that I can wear them for hours.

Immerser yourself in music with HD800 for the next 2-3 weeks (before the return period is over?) and get back to us.  If you still don't like it at that time, go ahead and return it - HD800 is not everyone's cup of tea...

Check out Schiit Magni or Vali + Modi combo.

Me and a buddy recently compared 2 HD800's, one with a frequency chart showing a huge bump at 6,000Hz (his) and the other one showing a relatively flat bump at 6,000Hz (mine) and put them through a sibilance torture test.  Result:  we could not discern any difference between the two.

Falling in love with second tier phones does not necessarily mean one has to discount the performance of higher tier models...   Why not love both?  Although I must admit I like the HD650 better than some of the "superior" headphones I've tried/owned...

Have people been having issues with recent runs of HD800?  Amazon is currently not selling them due to customer issues???  

Uber is supposed to have a better analog section... And because shiny.
