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?

The 800S is the single best headphone to ever hit the market, it sounds great, awsome soundstage and most importantly for everyday use, it's super light, probably the lightest TOTL headphone out there, i am not even listening to classical with it, mostly jPop, Planar fanboys can cry about the 800S bassresponse as long as they want, i don't have to wear half a kilo brick for 8+ hours a day

This is the reason why the Clear MG and many others are not a good headphone to listen to many hours straight. Light weight it's super important and the HD800 hits the mark indeed.
