The elear are very different, Ive had a read around, the hd800 are sharp and detailed, the elears are less amp dependant and is a heavier and punchier sound. Its not as technically capable or as wide but is a more relaxing listen. The elears also have great dynamics and has really good bass extension for a dynamic but suffers from a very uneven treble in stock form.

just a polite heads up/fyi:

perhaps the classifieds are not the best place to post an opinion based on what you have read.

perhaps it might even be against the guidelines of the classifieds (i have not read them for a while).

 

i will say one thing - I own both headphones. I agree with some of what you say and don't agree with some other points. But that's just my opinion but this is the classifieds and not an impressions thread so i shan't go on.

 

just sayin'

cheers

Hi I own both as well. In each case upgraded with Cardas balanced cable. I also changed the pads on my Focal Elears to Dekoni sheepskin perforated  - made a better balance between the bass and the treble, moving them closer towards the Clear. 

 

They are both excellent headphones -  in terms of style I think the Senn 800 is better at orchestral whilst the Focal has a richer sound with bass more like speakers and better if you are in a toe tapping mood. It is a good headphone.

How do these compare to a well modded and powered HD800?

Can't say, as I haven't compared them.

Both with offer quality sound, with the sound preference of the listener being decisive. For me, I have been very happy with the Focal sound signature.

Don't know, I have always been wearing them.[emoji86] I will give it a test tonight and let you know.
Yes please as I wonder if I can use it while in bed and not annoy my wife too much with the music. Cheers

Well, they're not utterly transparent as the sound volume is attenuated (a little).? That's a lot of sound leakage, probably wouldn't suit, unless you both have the same taste in music.
