The 8XX definitely requires EQ for my preferences. 1-2kHz is certainly way too recessed. I compared them to the Focal Clear MG and HD650 for a Head-Fi loaner program, it really does sound almost exactly how it measures. I needed an 8 dB boost there for it to sound normal. That being said, the 8XX equalizes extremely well, and you can tune it to exactly how you want because the driver is so high quality and low distortion. Also the treble is very smooth. But at this new discount, it's a very good option if you don't mind EQ.
