they're just by default better? the idea of the electrostatic thing sounded like super niche and intricate and this is my first headphone coming from IEMs. if they are actually just infinitely better than what i heard in the 800S then yeah im up for it
i dont have a dac/amp btw so this is apart of the 2k bduget too
so far all ive done research on in comparison to the HD800s is the arya and the heddphone, but both seem to have really shit flaws. haven't researched any of the stax stuff yet
the thing is when i tell people about my budget and what i want and what im looking for and my experience with audio, they just keep telling me to not buy this shit and go buy an HD600 which probably isnt gonna cut it above what i already have as far as IEMs and then they keep telling me some other bullshit.
and also, by better than the HD800s what i mean that it has the most comparable imaging and soundstage but is more detailed. even though the HD800s was detailed, i felt the bass wasn't detailed enough. idc about slam or anything like that, and i'm sure i could hear every detail in the music from the HD800s, but for the bass particularly i had to like listen for it.
but if at the end of this shit and i had to settle for HD800s because it fits my niche the best, i wouldn't necessarily be pissed im just searching for the ultimate shit
so what i mean is a presentation where its detailed extremely clear. if its gonna be this price range, then build is important to me too
edit: ok so im doing my research on them they do sound super interesting and they are gonna be something i demo, but the caveat to this one is that they are not really the same as other headphones at all, and so to start there, like i thought, would be a bad idea potentially. obviously if i think its the absolute best at the time, ill do it, but unfortunately i'm still leaning to the ........arya............. which i hate the idea of
