Please, don’t donwnvote people that you disagree with - in this thread, nobody should agree with anybody!
Anyway, I’ll start:
-
HD800S is massively overrated, has very fuzzy imaging - every element is small and the borders are very undefined, plus it has zero bass.
-
HD800S is also uncomfortable: the pads rubbing against my skin sound like newspaper, the padding on top is so little that it immediately hurts and the cables that come with it are too stiff and long.
-
LCD-X is more comfortable than the Arya: the LCD-X just hugs you with enormous pads, the Arya clamps your head like a torture device - I also hate the pad material that touches your head. If you bend the metal frame apart just enough that they still seal, and change the pads for Dekoni fenestrated leather pads, then you’ll only have to deal with the itching that the leather headband causes for me. The LCD wins again with the holes in the pad, which don’t cause this issue.
