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?

It’s not hype, but that doesn’t mean it’s for everyone. For instance, I vehemently dislike the 800s, and yet I still recognize the appeal.
For what it sets out to do, it does extremely well.
I’ve purchased and tried to live with it twice, and failed both times. If Sennheiser was giving out free headphones, I’d pick up another 600, over the more expensive 800s.
So yes, it’s really that good. Do I like it? No, not at all. Should you buy it? Probably not. It’s for a specific segment of the market and you might not be in that demographic. I’d argue most aren’t.
