    The HD800 is the only one in that list that is actually bottle-necked by the BHC. The others don't scale past it.

    I'd argue the HD600 does.

    Too high (120 ohms) output impedance? HD800 has a high bump seen in the impedance graphs, so maybe that and the BH Crack high output impedance are the reason for the slow, compressed sound.

    HD800's game is 'uncompressed and agility', entry level otl will strip it from these traits.
