Reply to comment by InFortunaWeLust in HD8XX & RME Adi-2 by None098

I saw a couple reviewers state how the EQ on these is worse than the normal 800S, but I agree with you on the point that changing the pads on these helped tremendously! I changed the EQ to resemble the normal 800S but with more emphasis on the lows. I like bass and I listen to a lot of hip hop! ( I’m better off getting some closed back headphones I know) BUT I love the sound stage on these and it makes listening to music a BLAST!!

EQ works good on these. I listen to Hip Hop aswell, although I sometimes prefer the HD-58X for hiphop cause it doesnt separate all the sounds in the mix + puts the rapper's voice more forward in the presentation. So you hear the music all blended together and behind the rapper so to say. But the HD-8XX sound amazing with well mastered music of anykind, you got an amazing setup there!

I got my 8XX with zeo's code for 700bucks and some change and for this price its one of the deals of the century imo. enjoy

Right now I’m pleased with my set up, but I would love to get more pairs of headphones over the next couple of years!

That’s awesome! I got my HD8XXs for 900, but I actually got my ADI-2 for 900 and some change! Huge deal that I got from Sweetwater and it was brand new :)
