HD800S is a good HP if one can deal with its enhanced highs. Might just be the best for gaming because of the soundstage/imaging.I was quite interested in Oluv's Focal Elex vs HD800s comparison video. I have always thought of the HD800s as a reference pair of headphones but his perspective was that they are just "decent" but not worth the asking price. The Focal Elex's sounded a lot better compared to the HD800s via the binaural recording through my HD58x's. I just got the most recent Drop run of the HE4xx's and am pretty impressed by the sound of them as well... they sound better than the binaural recordings of the HD800s to my ears! I was totally expecting the HD800s to blow everything I had out of the water...
IMO, it is however seriously overpriced. Particularly when compared to H4xx at 1/10 of the price.
