How are they for music? I hear for videogames, it’s the absolute best. Does the massive soundstage make movies/music sound unnatural in anyway? I’ve heard some people say that. Which is why I think I’m going to get the Focal Clear Mg Pro as it seems to do everything I want. Maybe eventually I’ll get the HD 800s— if once I get the Clear Mg Pro and feel like I need an upgrade

They’re solid for music depending on what you’re into. They excell in genres with many instruments like classical and jazz. I primarily listen to indie and hardcore though. The HD800S gets the job done but they aren’t as impactful as I’d like and can be a little too bright at times.

I haven’t tried watching a movie with the 800S but I’ve noticed the unnatural wideness with certain hip hop and r&b tracks.
