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 had some HD8XX and after some EQ holy shit they were amazing. I also used a 4pin XLR custom cable just for reference. I had them paired with a Jotenheim v2? Whichever the newest is with the built in DAC and a Xduoo TA-22. The sound staging and sound reproduction is just beautiful. Unfortunately I had to sell them and am now using some 560S but as soon as I'm able to afford them again I'm getting them if that tells you anything.

I also played a bunch of fps games with them and let me tell you it's literally like having wall hacks for your ears. You hear EXACTLY where the other players are its genuinely wild.
