Picked up a pair of Hd800S and they really don’t sound great. Like my HD600’s sound much better. No bass, even going back and forth A/B with the HD600 pair with the same source, using the same high quality headphone amp (Schiit Mjolnir 3). No noticeable upgrade in soundstage, or the rest of the spectrum.

I’m confused, was expecting a step up, but to my ears these are a step down from the 600’s. Could these be damaged? They appear 100% in good shape. I’ve tried a couple different cables.

Kinda bummed, was thinking these would be really endgame level cans for me.
