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?

owner of 20ish pair of cans … the 800s, 8xx, 820 are all … cans
I don’t own anything I reach for more than something else because it’s “better”
different, yes … all out better … no.
listening to music is about synergy. not halo headphones or amps.
we get caught up on better because object A costs more than object B … but is a $500 pair of jeans better than a $50 pair? no …
is a Ferrari a “better” car than a civic? no…
faster yes, but how’s that daily reliability doing for you?
all that to say, no … IMHO, the 800s aren’t worth it from a saving up to get them standpoint. they sound like headphones… not magical music portals to a new realm of hearing.
they’re great! so are my akg 361 and arya stealth and koss 75s
one man’s opinion. if I had $1000+ to spend in this hobby on cans alone, I’d have 3-5 pair vs 1
