Da best ya gonna do around here is a Sennheiser Massdrop HD8xx with a plain 2 meter, 6.3mm unbalanced cable in a plain cardboard box with possibly tweaked bass response for $750-$800. It’ll take ya 6 months after drop to get it, too. Dat’s all ya gonna get
Poll is called "Sennheiser HD800 below $900" there's like 5-6 not only *not* HD 800, but *not* even Sennhesiser. Come on peeps, at least read the title before you spamming polls with your fav pair.
I'd rather the HD 800s get a a drop for around 1,200 I've tried both and think the S is significantly better all around for me and other people. So if an 800 were to drop I pray for the S variant. Because if I'm spending 900$ I don't mind a few hundred more for a superior product.
I have the chance to grab a pair of HD800s for $1000. The only thing is that it's the last unit, so they were used as a display at the store I'm looking to get them from. Would you think it's a good deal or I better pass?
For me that would all depend if I still would get at least 1 year warranty with them being used. I would pounce on it if I was able to get a pair of the S's for cheap. Just make sure the cable isn't messed up or kinked as well.
Would really like to see the specific Sennheiser HD-800-"S" version go actively on sale here on Massdrop. "S" version is an improved type (see mfr site) and the new black color is cool too. Reports are bass is stronger and highs are tamed better. How about some more votes for the "S" version !
