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?

It can be endgame depending on your genre of music. They're exceptional with the genres you listed. If you listen to something with a lot of bass, I would not recommend it. It is amazing for gaming and extremely comfortable to wear. Like others have said, try to demo them before purchasing.

Build quality is decent but I don't have faith in the connectors at all. I actually leave mine in because I'm scared of ripping out the entire socket.
