Splash some of that reviewer money around haha
Maybe if the hobby were a bit less niche hahah.
Have you considered TikTok?
We keep trying to get @Chrono to be our TikTok ambassador but he keeps declining for some reason 
.
Iāve only purchased a couple headphones myself. When you have headphones coming across the desk every day itās harder to justify buying a pair when you know they arenāt going to get as much listen time as they probably should.
I personally quite liked the D8000, would take it over the Pro. But Iād also take a RAD-0 over both. D8000 vs LCD-4 would be a tough one for me though. D8000 certainly could get more headtime as itās considerably more comfortable but the LCD-4ās resolution is so good.

Did you show @Chrono how to floss though? That might draw him in.

@Resolve Tried the D8KP on any tubes yet?
Yeah I tried it on the Cayin HA1 M2. I think it works reasonably well with certain tube amps - maybe not OTL stuff (the D8K pro is fairly easy to drive), but something that maybe softens a bit of that treble could be cool.
Any other cans compete with the D8000 Pro, at a lower price point? Added comfort be a bonus.
My leaning is toward warmer cans, bass to have good impact. These EQās D8KP tick a lot of boxes, really great performance. Something lighter / more comfy be ideal!

I run mine on a DNA stratus, low impedance out, low gain, so 3 Ohm output impedance.
On that they sound exceptional. Iād take it over anything SS I have here,
I tried them on the SW51+, that was pretty terrible.
Havenāt tried them on the Tuba.

Lighter and more comfy at a lower priceā¦ I donāt think anything competes with those parameters really. I know the Diana V2 is lighter and less expensive, but I donāt think itās at the same level for technical performance (at least not when I heard it). Maybe for something differentā¦ Verite Closed? Again, not the same kind of detail and clarity overall, but that would be a really nice combo.
I had a Verite open for a while. Real nice. Lacks that insane bass control of the D8000 Pro. Real nice Timbre.
I briefly tried a HE1000SE, nice comfort. Hard to bring myself to spend that money on a Hifiman though

Here I am deciding whether or not to splurge on a Susvara. Do want hahah, but thatās also out of my budget unfortunately.

I just canāt. Too many driver failures and issues. Warranty or not!
Itās an extremely different sound to the Verite Closed.
The Verite stages wider, but it doesnāt have anything like the same resolution, separation, focus in the stage.
The D8000 pro has surprisingly good timbre, and itās good across the entire frequency range.
To me outside the staging, itās the speed of the D8000 thatās most notable, it conveys the attack/decay of the notes better which gives the overall sound a clarity that the VC lacks.
Iāve been using the VC this week, and itās a more fun, more forgiving signature, mines not going anywhere, they really are a good Complement to each other.
A super Verite. Thatās what we want now, isnāt it

Did you ever do a EQ profile for the normal D8000 ?
I have them both here with me. Tinkering, but thought you may have had a go at one too.
I donāt think I did one. I think that was over a year ago.
