Caveat emptor: not everyone hears the same thing, esp. Flagship models. Beware of the bandwagon and snob effects. After being disappointed by both the LCD-2 and HD800, I got together a group of 5-6 seasoned, older "audiophiles" and they listened to these two on my headphone amp (DNA Stratus), as well as a Sugden and Vincent headphone amp in the store. They were compared to an older HD598, HD600, HD650 and K701.
The consensus (100%) was that HD800 did not do well compared to all of the comparison cans and the LCD-2s were rated below K701 and the HD650. All of the people there were jazz and classical music listeners and that is what we listened to.
This goes vastly (but not completely) against the grain of what general opinions are on head-fi.org
I will never buy another set of headphones without having heard them first!
