Initially, I was a bit underwhelmed with more contemporary music, but then while digging through some late-’80s to early-’90s kayōkyoku and city pop, followed by some smooth jazz, it completely came alive.
I can attest, like many others, to its spatial effects. The D8000 Pro and Fostex biocellulose cans, from memory, were more lateral and layered; the HD800S was evenly diffuse and less localized. This, on the other hand, really morphs based on what you’re listening to. Most suitable with my typical rotation, minus rock. I’d still actually take the 2.2pf w/ the Dekoni vegan pads for rock and metal.
