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?

I used HD650 since 2008 and recently acquired the HD800s and it makes the HD650 sound muffled. Don’t get me wrong HD650 is still amazing but they also don’t go as low as the HD800s, even if you turn the bass up it just sounds more of the same bass which never goes that low.
I also have a pair of Genelec studio monitors which I LOVE and the HD800s sounds just as good.
With HD800s it made my friend almost cry listening to Queen, music just sounds real.
I drive using RME ADI 2 and prefer bass boost of 5db and treble boost of -2db with no further EQ. I tried ratory1990 EQ but I prefer without as it smoothed away some raw fuzz detail. With HD650 I love ratory EQ it really sounds special which is why I kept the 650.
