Pretty informative video here! I'm quite interested in a pair of the 800S someday, to fill my "open-back void"! However, for mainly gaming, the many sources I saw and read recommend the 800S versus Arya. I'd imagine you would be in the same stance? For the closed-back, can you compare the 820 vs other high-end closed-back, like the Sony Z1R in example? I just got the Sony Z1R and daaaaam they sound amazing! What is your thoughts of the Monolith Dac/Amp 788 from Monoprice? I have it and do find it pretty neat but there are times I find it a bit weak in the AMP area. I had bought the Topping DX7 Pro+ to my girlfriend last week and we were not satisfied. It had a bland sound and was way way too weak in power. We ended up returning it yesterday so we may have to look at a more powerful DAC/AMP or maybe just go with a stack this time around.

Sennheiser even admits the hd820 have more distortion than the HD800S's. If you are interested in isolation, it is a trade-off of reduced fidelity and it depends what is more important to you.

what Dac/Amp can you recommend to pair the HD800s with for PC gaming? I'm new to this "end game gear", that I found out that its not easy to power them or to get the best out of them.

@chuckolatte600 2 жыл бұрын

You really don't need such an OP setup, as long as you're not running them off of basic DAC/amp. Basically any combo worth at least $400 should suffice

@QoraxAudio 2 жыл бұрын

Just get some Topping headphone amp, like the A30. Get its DAC equivalent, the D30 to connect it to your PC. Should do just fine for gaming.

hey chuckolatte! so i’ve been thinking about expanding into the audiophile community and was thinking about upgrading from my SHP9500 to the hd6xx. Do you think this upgrade would be worthwhile and would move me closer towards an audiophile experience? Thank you :)

Although the HD6XX are pretty great HPs under certain conditions, I think an upgrade to the HD600 or HifiMAN Sundaras would be a better upgrade for you.

I am trying to decide which one to buy 800s or 820 for electronic music production....and even after several comparison videos I am still not sure which ones are better for such matter, which will help better in defining and refining elements...800s which are flatter in sound or 820 which have clearer and more present upper base? Is there anything more you can tell me that might help me with my decision? I understand that you said that 820 have wonky sound...what does that mean? And is there any chance that you just do not like open back headphones or that you used custom cable if I recall correctly? I have an issue with open back headphones, since I hate hearing background sounds, anyone talking etc.. It is distracting for me. I love to cancel out everything...but I am still not sure if those headphones cost too much and won't give me what I need. Damn I need help :D

@JollyRogerJo 3 жыл бұрын

@@chuckolatte600 Thank you. Thing is that where I live, we don't have anywhere to see a sample and experience the sound and et the feel what they produce, and then decide which ones...so it is quite hard for me to make the right choice just reading and watching reviews. That is why I ask about advice regarding what I need them for. Thank you for your honesty. It is helpful to see that their older products are better choice until they come up with something better in the closed section.

@syncwork 3 жыл бұрын

Hey man, would like to know your recommendation for closed back headphone for office use. Need neutral sound with hint of warmth. Good/best soundstage and layering (depth) is must. Laid back female vocals is most welcome, but not necessary. No budget concern, but cheaper is better (around 500-700). And, sleek (small) earcup depth is must as i don't want it to look tooo big on my head - i'll be using it in office.

@chuckolatte600 3 жыл бұрын

Man that's REAL tough. It's hard to find a decent closed back HP IMO, the closest budget HP I've found are the m40x, but those can be seen as more of a v-shaped sound. Other than that, it would probably be the ZMF Verite Closed at around $2300. Though I haven't tried these yet.
