Is the 800s really that good? (alien.top)

Is the Senn 800s the end game or is it hype? I mean, it sounds like a great pick for classical, chamber music, acoustic, and jazz but for an everyday is it really all that?

I would say they are good, but at the price point there are better options in my opinion. In my experience, the soundstage sounds artificially large and I didn't find the sound to be engaging. I much prefer both the Focal Clear and the LCD X in that price range. I also think the 800s is hideous, but that's just me. They seemed built reasonably well.
