Anyone here using custom cables on their 800S? If so , which ones?
Anyone had some A/B time with the Aeon open vs HD800S and want to share their thoughts?
I had a chance to listen to Aeon open/closed and HD800S together last weekend. I love both the Aeons. I'd been warned that the open-back version might have been a bit bass-light (by a friend of mine who's a bass-head!), but I didn't find that at all. I couldn't really hear any loss of low-end in comparison to the closed-back Aeon. It has a somewhat similar gentle v-shape to that of the HD800S, with the bass impact a little stronger, and the treble maybe not quite as detailed, but awfully close. It's a great headphone. For the price, it's a really great headphone. The only real downside for me (both open and closed-back Aeons) is they tend to clamp your mastoids pretty tight. For me, they're certainly not as comfortable to wear as the HD800S - but then, not much is.
Both Aeons are certainly up there amongst my favorites.

Hey guys, I picked up a 800S last week. Currently driving it out of my LPG. While the LPG is totally capable of driving it, the synergy is not the best as the LPG is also bright.
Planning on introducing a tube amp into the chain. I am new to the HP game. Could you please give me some tube-amp recommendations under $500.
LPG = Lotoo Paw Gold
I’ll start with the obvious - Little Dot MK IV. I’ve definitely heard it with the HD800S and in a lot of ways wish I hadn’t sold mine. Plenty of tube rolling options.
