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 don’t really like them. Fairly high distortion under 300hz, no subbass, and an airy treble forward diffuse field presentation. Honestly the good all koss porta pro has a similar sound.

Certainly not bad but definitely a divisive sound signature especially for the price.
