有點(diǎn)標(biāo)題黨，是翻譯的。
剛接觸HIFI耳機(jī)，理解翻譯不當(dāng)，請(qǐng)當(dāng)指教。

Pros: Imaging, Inner Detail, Natural Decay and Instrumental Timbre, Comfort, Massive Soundstage, does all the cooking and cleaning

正方：結(jié)像，細(xì)節(jié)，自然衰減(殘響)和樂器音色，舒適性，巨大聲場(chǎng)，勝任大多數(shù)音樂類型(全面、雜食)

Cons: One more cable than most people need, a little pricey, hard to put down at the end of the evening when you really need to get some sleep

反方：多出來的一根平衡線，對(duì)多數(shù)人可能不需要，而且有點(diǎn)小貴，深夜當(dāng)你確實(shí)要睡覺的時(shí)候不方便摘下擱放(太大不方便拿放？)；

Since I received the HD800 S I have put in somewhere between 100 – 150 hours of listening mostly on two different amps (and a little on a 3rd). I also did a lot of comparisons with my up to now favorite current production headphone, its older brother the HD800.

自我收到HD800S，我已經(jīng)把它放在2個(gè)不同耳放(也在另外的第三個(gè)耳放上聽了些許時(shí)間)上聽了100-150個(gè)小時(shí)。同時(shí)我也把它同我目前最喜歡的耳機(jī)—它的老兄弟HD800做了大量的對(duì)比。
Overall, I have found the HD800 S to be a worthy of consideration for anyone thinking of purchasing a TOTL headphone. It features a wide open sound stage, revealing with lots of inner detail perfectly extracted, very realistic rendering of timbre and decay for acoustic instruments and is very well extended at both ends of the spectrum. While an overall bright headphone, it doesn’t suffer from the peaky treble its older sibling—albeit at the expense of a little air and instrument separation and definition. It seems to handle any genre of music with aplomb and sounded good on both solid state and tubes. I think it is definitely the best dynamic headphone on the market and competitive, depending on your taste, with any current production headphone available.  Oh and it’s probably the most comfortably headphone I have ever used (which means the same as HD800).

總體上，我認(rèn)為對(duì)于任何想要買一個(gè)極品耳機(jī)的人，HD800S是值得考慮的。HD800S以寬大的開放聲場(chǎng)為特點(diǎn)，并展現(xiàn)出大量的完美解析的內(nèi)在細(xì)節(jié)，非常真實(shí)地呈現(xiàn)聲學(xué)器材的音色和衰減(殘響)并且在頻響的兩端有極好的延伸。盡管總體上是明亮音色的耳機(jī)，但HD800S并沒有他的同門兄弟HD800的高頻部尖銳的問題—不過代價(jià)是，少了一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)空氣感和樂器分離度和清晰度。HD800S似乎能夠沉著應(yīng)對(duì)任何音樂類型，并且對(duì)管樂和實(shí)體樂器聲音都能夠很好還原。我想，它絕對(duì)是市面上最好的動(dòng)圈耳機(jī)，對(duì)比任何當(dāng)前量產(chǎn)的耳機(jī)都非常有競(jìng)爭力，當(dāng)然還要取決于你的聽音偏好/口味。噢，還有它大概是我所用過的佩戴最舒適的耳機(jī)(這意味著和HD800一樣舒適)。

When you buy it what do you get? A usb stick with your personal diffuse sound field graph, measured by Sennheiser on your pair that allegedly takes a whole bunch a time to produce. That’s certainly better than having to get Sennheiser to send you one like I had to with the HD800 (it took two tries for me). Probably one more cable than you really need (ie one single ended and one balanced) some promotional “blah blah what great purchase” material, the headphones (they are matte black), a flimsy outer box with pictures of the headphone on it and a much more sturdier box you will want to keep for storage or if you move or sell it.  You can look for pictures elsewhere.

當(dāng)你買下HD800S，你會(huì)得到那些東西？一個(gè)USB閃存盤，其中存儲(chǔ)了這副耳機(jī)的聲場(chǎng)圖形，據(jù)稱是森海賽爾花費(fèi)大量時(shí)間測(cè)試出來的。這點(diǎn)絕對(duì)比買HD800時(shí)你需要申請(qǐng)森海給你寄送一份要來得好，就像我買HD800時(shí)申請(qǐng)了2次才得到。還有，多出一條平衡線(即共2條線，一條單端線和一條平衡線)，但這條平衡線可能并不會(huì)讓你心理覺得“真是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的買賣”的某種促銷，HD800S的耳機(jī)（磨砂黑），一個(gè)脆弱的印有耳機(jī)圖片的外包裝盒，如果你需要保存、移動(dòng)或出售它，你可能需要一個(gè)更堅(jiān)固的盒子。你可以在其他地方找到HD800S及其包裝的圖片。

I am one of those who tried the Anax mod and then undid it. So you can say I didn’t like it, but I do like the S one heck of a lot. I also should mention that a youth squandered on lots of rock ‘n roll at high volume probably means I am less sensitive to trebly phones than some.

我也是曾經(jīng)試過HD800的Anax磨機(jī)改造版(關(guān)于Anax磨機(jī)http://www./t/577530/hd800-anaxilus-mod)然后又拆除Anax磨機(jī)的人之一。因此你可以說我并不喜歡Anax磨機(jī)，但我卻非常喜歡HD800S。我應(yīng)該申明：因年輕時(shí)花了大量時(shí)間聽高音量的搖滾樂，很可能意味我對(duì)高頻聲的敏感性不如一些人(PS.作者還蠻謙虛)。

What follows is a collection of impressions, which, in order to help people calibrate, are mostly in comparison to the HD800.
下面就是一些試聽印象，為了方便人們校準(zhǔn)評(píng)判，主要是與HD800進(jìn)行對(duì)比。

In general the differences between HD800 and the S aren't subtle, but they ain’t night and day. It's a lot like the differences between many TOTL headphones, the differences are slightly exaggerated when you try to express it writing. It is less subtle than trying to figure out the differences between two excellent amplifiers, you don’t need to switch back and forth a bunch of times to hear it, it is obvious from the start, but only after many hours and of listening was I able to begin to better understand the differences. In general we can say the Classic is brighter, the younger S is relatively warmer. Both are detail monsters with big sound stage. The classic maybe a little more so. But wait! There's more...
大體上，HD800與HD800S之間的區(qū)別并不是細(xì)微到難以察覺，但也絕不是白天和黑夜那樣分明，這非常像很多頂級(jí)頭戴式耳機(jī)之間的不同，當(dāng)你想要用文字去描述這種差別的時(shí)候又會(huì)有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)夸大。區(qū)分HD800與HD800S要比區(qū)分兩個(gè)頂級(jí)耳放來得容易，你不需要來回A/B很多次的聽，從一開始就已經(jīng)明顯，但是要更好的去理解這種差異我還是需要經(jīng)過很多個(gè)小時(shí)的試聽?？傮w上，我們可以說經(jīng)典的HD800音色更明亮，而年輕的HD800S則相對(duì)溫暖。兩者都有恐怖的細(xì)節(jié)和巨大的聲場(chǎng)，經(jīng)典HD800這方面可能相對(duì)突出一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)。但是別急，還有更多與您分享……

Rocking Out
I started by listening mostly to rock music, since that is where I found the classic HD800 sometimes problematic. In the beginning I mostly listened on my Lehman BCL because I can go back and forth between classic and youngster easily since it has two single-ended head-outs. I have also listened a little bit to my Icon Audio HP8 mkII amp with NOS Sylvania 6SN7 (70s) and a modern JJ gold pin ECC83, my current fave tubes so far.
搖滾大師
一開始，我主要試聽搖滾音樂，因?yàn)榫褪菑倪@我發(fā)現(xiàn)經(jīng)典的HD800有時(shí)候有些小問題。一開始，我主要接雷曼BCL耳放聽音，因?yàn)檫@個(gè)耳放有2個(gè)單端輸出端口，這樣我就可以很容易地在HD800和HD800S之間切換。另外，我也在換裝NOS Sylvania 6SN7電子管和金腳ECC83電子管的Icon Audio公司HP8 mkII耳放上試聽了少許，這2個(gè)管子是我目前最喜歡的電子管。

I listened to a variety of stuff old and new. I will just pick two albums that pretty well exemplify what I discovered.
我聽了很多音源，新的、舊的都有。我將挑選2個(gè)專輯來佐證說明我的發(fā)現(xiàn)。

Listening to the hi-res, Stephen Wilson remix of Yes's Fragile, the classic HD800 sounds a little sibilant on Roundabout: "I'll SSSSpend the day your way". The youngster reveals no such emphasis. The album is musically amazing and but the recording quality, even after it's been Steven Wilsonified, is so-so. The youngster just sounds so much more right. The classic has a tendency to sound grainy on this recording. For example the South Side of the Sky sounds like the VU meters are way into the red when the sound it at a crescendo, ("seems like all eternity), well at least if you are listening to classic. But the young guy makes this sound, well, smoother—the grain is almost all gone.
首先聽的高分辨率音樂是來自Yes搖滾樂隊(duì)的Fragile專輯，由Stephen Wilson制作的混音版，經(jīng)典的HD800在Roundabout那首歌的“I'll SSSSpend the day your way”當(dāng)中的S有點(diǎn)點(diǎn)齒音。而晚出的HD800S則沒有這種情況。專輯本身音樂性極好，但錄音質(zhì)量只能說平平常常，即便是大名鼎鼎的Stephen Wilson制作。HD800S的發(fā)聲明顯要正確自然的多。經(jīng)典的HD800在這個(gè)錄音上則發(fā)聲有種顆粒感趨向。例如，在South Side of the Sky這首曲中，在聲音響度逐漸增大的片段，如果用HD800則聽起來就像標(biāo)準(zhǔn)音量計(jì)(VU meters)的指針已深入右端紅色區(qū)域(就像所有聲音都經(jīng)久不衰)。但HD800S則讓聲音更平滑，顆粒幾乎全消失了。

However, the heightened treble of the original does give in some cases the sense of a little more air and details. As an example of this, I was listening to a hi-res version of David Gilmour's newest, Rattle that Lock. The song Dancing Right In Front of Me has a beautiful solo towards then end. Under the guitar are classic Floydish sounding background vocals. It sounds further down in the mix on the youngster and noticeably more up front on the classic. I have no idea which is more correct, but on this pristine recording the instrument definition, the air and the inner detail seems a little better on the classic. But, the slightly warmer tonality, and the way the cymbals splash seems more right somehow on the S.
不過，被強(qiáng)化的HD800高頻頻段有時(shí)確實(shí)帶來稍多的空氣感和細(xì)節(jié)。以高分辨率版的大衛(wèi)吉摩爾(David Gilmour)最新專輯-- Rattle that Lock為例來說明這點(diǎn)。其中Dancing Right In Front of Me這首歌從頭到尾都有非常優(yōu)美的獨(dú)唱，吉他聲背后是經(jīng)典的Floyd風(fēng)格的背景和聲。在HD800S中人聲聽起來更遠(yuǎn)更低，但在HD800中則感覺靠前靠上。我不知道哪一個(gè)的聲音更準(zhǔn)確，但是在這個(gè)經(jīng)典錄音中，樂器清晰度、空氣感和內(nèi)部細(xì)節(jié)等方面，經(jīng)典的HD800表現(xiàn)要稍好。但是，某種程度上，稍偏溫暖的調(diào)音以及鈸镲聲的表現(xiàn)方式在HD800S上要更好加自然。

In general, the youngster seems to be better suited to brightly recorded and poorly recorded material. I have heard Sennheiser is saying that the S is more extended at the bottom end the its classic older bro. On the rock tracks I played it was really hard to tell if this is indeed the case.
總體上，HD800S似乎更適用于明亮音色的和質(zhì)量并不是很好的音源。我曾經(jīng)聽森海說HD800S比HD800有更好的低頻延伸。在我所玩的搖滾唱片中，確實(shí)很難去證實(shí)實(shí)際情況是否真是如此。

Dancing to Hip Hop and Electronica
與嘻哈和電子樂共舞
So the next day, I tried some hip hop and electronica.
So who was bass king was harder to discern on the rock tracks from the day before,  but boy on hip hop it was so much easier. Kendrick Lamar's recent masterpiece, To Pimp a Butterfly, just sounds overall better on the HD800 S. Other albums I played were the recent release by Colleen, Captain of None and Jamie XX, in color. I always liked the bass on the HD800, articulate and extended, but honestly it lacks a little in the slam department.
接下一天，我試了一些嘻哈樂和電子樂。
HD800和HD800S到底誰是低音之王，前一天的搖滾唱片中難于辨別，但在男聲嘻哈樂中就要簡單得多了。就Kendrick Lamar最近說唱杰作-- To Pimp a Butterfly專輯(58屆格萊美最佳說唱專輯)來說，HD800S聽感完勝。其他我試過的專輯是最近Colleen發(fā)行的Captain of None和Jamie XX的In Color。我一直喜歡HD800的重低音，清晰而且下潛很好，但是坦誠地說在超猛烈的低音部分它還是欠缺一丁點(diǎn)。

Kendrick Lamar's Wesley Theory, just hits harder and seems to go a little lower on the youngster. Maybe it is because the youngster sounds warmer than the classic all I can say is on Hip Hop, hands down I would grab the S every time.
在Kendrick Lamar 的Wesley Theory這首歌中，HD800S的下潛稍更深一點(diǎn)，低頻沖擊感更強(qiáng)?？赡芤?yàn)镠D800S相比HD800調(diào)音偏暖的原因，每次聽Hip Hop歌曲，我都更想用HD800S。

On electronica it isn't as clear. For example on Colleen's I'm Kin. The sense of air around the singer’s voice is seductive and in general the track sounds slightly more open on the classic. But the thump of the bass is deeper and fatter on the youngster. Similarly on Jamie XX Gosh, the way the highly processed vocals jump out of the mix on the HD800 is totally cool. But again the track hits deeper and warmer in a good way on the youngster.
在電子樂上，這種感覺則不那么明顯。比如，聽Colleen的 I'm Kin這首歌，環(huán)繞歌手的空氣感非常誘人并且整體上HD800在這首歌曲中的聲底要稍微更開放一些。但是HD800S的重低音的重?fù)舾幸獊淼酶罡?。類似的，聽Jamie XX 的Gosh時(shí)，高度處理過的人聲從背景中跳躍而出的感覺非常酷，但是HD800S仍然很好的展現(xiàn)了其更深、更暖的低頻。

I think that the very nature of highly processed modern music makes it hard to say which headphone is more accurate. Unless you are the person who created it, I don't know how you can say for sure what it should sound like. On both headphones the presentation was excellent. On the more bassy tracks I would probably go for the youngster.
我想，高度處理過的現(xiàn)代音樂讓人很難說到底哪個(gè)耳機(jī)更加正確。除非你是音樂的制作者，不然我不知道你怎么確定它聽起來應(yīng)該是怎么樣的。兩個(gè)耳機(jī)中呈現(xiàn)的聲音都非常優(yōu)秀。就更多低頻的歌曲，我更愿意選擇HD800S。

So far I would say things for me tilt slightly towards the youngster. On some tracks I felt like I could hear a little more deeply into the music with the classic, probably due to what some call the hotter treble energy. It was actually really nice on very well recorded music. But on older or less good recordings I would definitely give the nod to the youngster. Overall I prefer the tonality and bass response of the youngster over it's sometimes more revealing older brother. The soundstage on S was pretty much Sennheiser HD800 big. I like that, for some reason that I don’t get, some don’t. If you don’t, you won’t like the S.
到此，我想說一些稍微偏向HD800S的東西。在某些曲子上，我感覺在HD800上我能夠多一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的深入音樂本身，這可能是源于一些人說的更熱烈的高頻能量。在錄音質(zhì)量很好的音源上，這一點(diǎn)確實(shí)非常的好。但是在一些較老的和錄音質(zhì)量不那么好的音源上，我很確信我會(huì)投贊成票給HD800S?？傮w上，我偏向于HD800S的調(diào)音音色和低頻反應(yīng)盡管有時(shí)HD800有著更好的解析。HD800S有著和HD800相差無幾的大聲場(chǎng)。我喜歡以上這些特點(diǎn)，有些人則不那么喜歡，或許因?yàn)橐恍┪覜]有發(fā)現(xiàn)的原因。如果你沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)以上這些，你不會(huì)喜歡HD800S。

Does it sound like a piano?它聽起來像鋼琴嗎？
Next, I  wanted to try some classical stuff. There I wasn’t sure which way things will fall. First of all I think that up to now it was hard to think of a headphone that I like as much for chamber music, the SR 009 expensively amped maybe is equal.  I have an emotional bias towards the classic, it was hearing piano on the HD800 that originally seduced me. So I put the classic aside for day and only listened to the S to recalibrate my ears a little. For me this was going to be an important test: While acoustic albums often have almost as much studio wizardry and processing of the sound as their electric cousins, I have a much better idea what acoustic instruments are supposed to sound like, especially since I have guitars and a Steinway baby grand lying around the house.
接下來，我想嘗試一些古典的東西。在古典領(lǐng)域，我不確定情況會(huì)朝著那個(gè)方向發(fā)展。首先我想目前為止很難想到有哪只耳機(jī)聲音能夠達(dá)到室內(nèi)樂現(xiàn)場(chǎng)聽感，在極其昂貴的放大器/耳放推動(dòng)下的SR009也許可以。我對(duì)HD800有種主觀感性的偏好，因?yàn)镠D800最初打動(dòng)我正是聽到它的美妙鋼琴聲音。所以我一整天只聽HD800S而把HD800放在一邊，以便重新校正我的耳朵。對(duì)我而言，這是一個(gè)非常重要的試驗(yàn)：原聲專輯通常有著和電子樂相近的工作室創(chuàng)造魔法和對(duì)聲音的處理技術(shù)。我對(duì)原聲樂器該有的聲音有著更好的認(rèn)識(shí)理解，尤其是我自己房間里就有吉他和斯坦威小型鋼琴。

Again I am just singling out a couple of recordings that exemplify what I think I heard.
我同樣只會(huì)挑出一些唱片例證我所聽到東西。
Igor Levit's recent release in Hi-Res, Bach, Beethoven and Rzewski is not only amazing music but very well recorded. With this music I find the comparison a little more difficult. The classic gives a more lit up presentation, which makes certain nuances of the attack of hammer on the string really much easier to discern. That is really cool. There is an open airiness to the presentation with HD800 that is seductive. It also seems just a hair's breadth short of completely realistic. It comes closer to right than any headphone I have heard except maybe the Stax 009 for solo piano. But when I last ab'ed the star Staxen and HD800 side by side a year or so ago, they were really slight differences of the same general idea ( one a little more grainy at times the other more effortless at the high end but sometimes seemed to be a wee less authoritative at the low end). But both seemed just a teeny tiny bit tilted up which gave this really compelling you can hear every nuance thing that I like. Ok so how does the youngster sound?
伊戈?duì)柫芯S特(Igor Levit)最近發(fā)行的高清專輯，其中含有巴赫、貝多芬和弗雷德里克·列夫斯基的作品，不僅是極好的音樂而且錄音質(zhì)量也很好。在這些音樂上，我發(fā)現(xiàn)對(duì)比變得有點(diǎn)稍稍更困難。HD800呈現(xiàn)出更明亮的聽感，這使得音槌擊打在琴弦上的細(xì)微差別能夠更容易辨別。這確實(shí)很酷。HD800上更開放的空氣感也使聽感很有吸引力。它也似乎距離完全的真實(shí)感只有一發(fā)之隔(非常逼近)。它比任何我聽過的耳機(jī)都要更接近正確的聲音，可能除了SR009的鋼琴獨(dú)奏。不過差不多一年以前，我把SR009和HD800面對(duì)面AB對(duì)比時(shí)，發(fā)現(xiàn)它們?cè)谡w思想上確有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)區(qū)別(有時(shí)其中一個(gè)更多顆粒感另一個(gè)則在高頻端有點(diǎn)無力感,但有時(shí)好像在低頻段有那么一丁點(diǎn)的缺乏真實(shí)可信度)。但是兩個(gè)耳機(jī)相互之間都只是有那么極小的一點(diǎn)優(yōu)勢(shì)來吸引你去聽到那些我喜歡的細(xì)微之處。好了， HD800S聽起來又會(huì)如何？

The S sounds warmer, a little richer, it goes a little deeper when he hammers away on the left end of the ivories. The decay seems more like it sounds when I sit on the couch and someone plays the piano in the living room about 2 meters (6 feet) away. It is also little less clear and a little less airy than the classic. But on the classic there were a few places where Igor hit the tinkly keys on the right end of the piano pretty hard and the seeming air and clarity gave way to a slightly too sharp sound. It is lessened on the S for sure.  I actually ran over to the piano and started banging on it and then listened again to the recording. It’s not really the same piano and a different room etc. But it is always good to hear what the real thing sounds like. On richness, I gives it to the S. On detail, I gives it to the classic. On which is more natural? I thinks I gots to say the S, the timbre was just a little more right. But some will definitely like the classic better here. It is the more fun headphone on Igor Levit's recent recording of Beethoven's Diabelli Variations. Did I just say the classic is the more fun headphone? No one ever says the HD800 is the more fun headphone on head-fi. But here I am saying it, on head-fi, in this particular case. On hip hop, funness is totally with the youngster, Does anyone who listens to classical piano care about funness? Maybe in this case. I dunno we are splitting hairs anyway, but that is a big part of the funness here at head-fi: Making a big deal out of small diffs. 
HD800S聽感更溫暖，也更豐富飽滿，當(dāng)演奏者敲擊左端的琴鍵時(shí)能下潛更深一些。聲音的衰減效果聽起來更像是我坐在起居室的沙發(fā)上聽著前面差不多2米遠(yuǎn)的鋼琴演奏。同時(shí)，HD800S相對(duì)HD800要少一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)清晰度和空氣感。但是在HD800上，當(dāng)演奏者很重地敲擊鋼琴右端的某些琴鍵時(shí)，表面上的空氣感和清晰度卻被稍偏尖銳的聲音代替。在HD800S上則毫無疑問被減少了這種聽感。實(shí)際上，我還真跑到我自己的鋼琴上去敲擊然后重新聽錄音。當(dāng)然，他們并不是同一個(gè)鋼琴也不在同一間房。但是聽聽樂器的真實(shí)聲音總是有益的。關(guān)于聽感的豐富飽滿，我偏向支持HD800S；在細(xì)節(jié)上，我偏向經(jīng)典的HD800；關(guān)于哪個(gè)聲音更自然，我想我得說是HD800S，它的音色稍微更正確。但是有些人毫無疑問會(huì)更喜歡經(jīng)典的HD800，在Igor Levit專輯的貝多芬迪亞貝里變奏曲中，HD800S是一只更有樂趣的耳機(jī)。我剛剛當(dāng)真說HD800是更有樂趣的耳機(jī)？沒有人曾說過在耳機(jī)HIFI中HD800是一只有樂趣的耳機(jī)，但我在這里這么說了，頭戴式耳機(jī)系統(tǒng)，在此特定情況下。聽嘻哈音樂，樂趣則完全在HD800S。聽古典的鋼琴曲時(shí)，有誰會(huì)關(guān)心趣味呢？好吧，也許在這，我不知道我們是不是在吹毛求疵/鉆牛角尖，但是這正是頭戴耳機(jī)系統(tǒng)里很大一部分的樂趣---在細(xì)小的差別里尋找非常重要的事。

Dueling Violins小提琴對(duì)決
One thing I have discovered while living in France are all the small labels doing audiophile sound and dynamic performances of chamber music. The scholarship is sometimes astounding. Some of it is mixed on the HD800! I don't know how much of it makes it outside of France, I guess everyone has heard some of the Alpha label recordings. Checkout the stuff with Cafe Zimmermann doing Bach. But I digress. For this test I used a recent release by L'Aura Rilucente Handel & Haym: Trio Sonatas in hi-res. Haym is quite a discovery, apparently a contemporary/collaborator of Handel. His trio sonata in D was a revelation, with quite a thrilling Allegro for the finale.
當(dāng)我生活在法國時(shí)，我發(fā)現(xiàn)一件事：所有小唱片公司都在做高保真發(fā)燒音頻和有動(dòng)態(tài)性的室內(nèi)樂。有時(shí)還獲得令人震驚的學(xué)術(shù)成就。其中一些還被HD800采納。我不知道其中有多少揚(yáng)名于法國之外，我猜每個(gè)人都聽過一些法國Alpha唱片公司的唱片吧。用法國齊默曼咖啡屋古樂團(tuán)表演錄制的巴赫器樂作品集(PS：該唱片獲得過金音叉獎(jiǎng))來作為對(duì)比的音源應(yīng)該理所當(dāng)然。但我并不這么認(rèn)為，在這個(gè)測(cè)試中，我用了最近由發(fā)行的采用高分辨率音頻技術(shù)錄制的Handel & Haym的三重奏奏鳴曲—由L'Aura Rilucente樂團(tuán)表演。N.F. Haym(全名)是個(gè)被發(fā)掘的音樂才子，與Handel同時(shí)代且兩人相互合作。他的D大調(diào)三重奏鳴曲是個(gè)啟示錄，其收尾部分有著非常驚心動(dòng)魄的急速樂章。

On both headphones you can clearly make out the two lead violins furiously trading licks back and forth, with cello harp and organ underneath. The sense of air around the instruments is absolutely to die for with the HD800 and the instrument separation is fantastic. Every sound seems to suspended perfectly in space. This headphone was made for music like this. And yet, every now and again the lead violin is just a wee bit too strident or sharp. I suspect with my no longer young ears, this bothers me less than some.
在兩個(gè)耳機(jī)中，你都能很清楚的聽出兩把領(lǐng)奏的小提琴(主音提琴)在劇烈地來回拍打著琴弦，伴隨著背后的大提琴和風(fēng)琴聲。HD800里，那包圍樂器的空氣感絕對(duì)美妙得讓人欲仙欲死，同時(shí)樂器的分離也極其出色。每個(gè)聲音似乎都完美地懸停在空間里。這個(gè)耳機(jī)簡直就是為這種音樂量身定制。不過，有時(shí)領(lǐng)奏的小提琴稍有有丁點(diǎn)太刺耳和尖銳。我用我那不再年輕的耳朵猜疑著(意思是有豐富的聽音經(jīng)驗(yàn)？還是前面說的對(duì)高頻不敏感？)，相比其他人，我會(huì)少為此困擾。

The HD800 S on the other hand really nails the timbre and the decay of the instruments which sound a hair more natural. It seems to be just enough less strident on the higher registers than its more experienced sibling. This comes at the expense of air. The difference between the two is small, but very definitely there. It isn't like I have to go back and forth ten times and listen really closely to discern a difference.
另一方面，HD800S確實(shí)抓住了樂器的音色和衰減(殘響)，從而聲音稍微更自然了一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)。在高音域上，相比它那更具經(jīng)驗(yàn)的兄弟(HD800)，HD800S恰到好處的減少了刺耳感。這是以空氣感為代價(jià)的。兩個(gè)耳機(jī)的差別很小，但是很明確。這不像那種需要我非常認(rèn)真反復(fù)聽十遍去確認(rèn)一個(gè)差別。

At this point I decided to switch amps. I leave the Lehmann with its two SE outputs and go over to the more laborious to compare Icon Audio HP8 MK ii with its single output. The HD800 shines on this amp, more holographic sound and less strident than the Lehmann. It is why I bought it. Everything is right with the world once again. Until I switch over to the S, and once again I feel like the timbre is slightly more correct. The S doesn't sound as different on the tubes as its bro, but I still like it better on tubes. And while I have again given up a bit of air and definition around the instruments, in addition to the timbre and decay, I get a blacker background. It's a tradeoff. If you are happy with your HD800 as is, I would say you need to audition rather than buy an S on the blind.
這時(shí)，我決定更換了耳放。我放下了萊曼耳放和它的2個(gè)單端輸出端口，換上了更費(fèi)力的ICON音頻只有單個(gè)輸出端口的HP8 MK ii放大器。HD800在這個(gè)放大器上光芒閃耀，更立體的聲音同時(shí)比萊曼放大器上要稍一些尖銳感。這就是我為什么買了HP8 MK ii。一切都又恰到好處了。直到我重新?lián)Q上HD800S，然后再一次我感覺到音色稍微更正確些。HD800S的聲音并沒有像HD800因耳放帶來的不同，但我仍然更喜歡HD800S。當(dāng)我再次丟失一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)空氣感和清晰度，改善一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)音色和衰減，我卻得到了一個(gè)更黑的背景。這是種平衡折衷。如果你喜歡HD800它本來的聲音，那我想說你應(yīng)該多試聽而不是盲目的買HD800S。

A Trip to Symphony Hall交響樂堂之旅
So next I try symphony. I am a bit of a freak about Mahler's ninth, especially the second movement. So for this, I chose Kubelik with Symphonie orchester des beyerischen Rundfunks from 1967.  I have heard it something like a hundred times and I decided to go for 101. Going back and forth between phones, this time sticking with the tubular goodness of the Icon, it is all becoming pretty clear now.
接下來我嘗試了交響樂。我對(duì)馬勒的第九交響曲有點(diǎn)近乎癲狂的喜愛，尤其是第二樂章。這次，我選擇1967年拉斐爾·庫貝利克指揮、巴伐利亞廣播交響樂團(tuán)表演的唱片。我已經(jīng)像聽過上百遍了，現(xiàn)在我準(zhǔn)備聽第101遍。這次我繼續(xù)利用ICON放大器的管子優(yōu)勢(shì)，在兩者耳機(jī)中來回切換，現(xiàn)在一切都變得了如指掌。

Tympani go a wee bit lower and hit a wee bit harder on the S. Experience counts though and in this case older bro has it for instrument separation & definition, especially on the complex crescendos. And again on the S the timbre sounds more natural, and less strident. The warmer sound generally works here—it sounds more natural— but it is still a pretty bright headphone. Just a little less so. And gosh those tympani thump soooooo satisfyingly.
定音鼓在HD800S上聲音下潛更深沖擊感更重。不過經(jīng)驗(yàn)又扳回一城，這次HD800S具有樂器分離度和清晰度，尤其是在復(fù)雜的高潮段落。再一次，HD800S上的音色聽起來更自然，更少的刺耳感。偏暖的音色全面發(fā)揮了作用—聽感更自然，但它仍然是一只明亮音色的耳機(jī)。只是稍微少那么一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)。天哪，這些定音鼓的嘭嘭聲是如~~~~此讓人滿足。

Jazzing Things Up爵士樂駕臨
Going back to the days with those black spinning things that got worse sounding every time they spun around, Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis was one of my reference points for evaluating a new component.  Using the 2013 high-res  stereo version and the Icon, I soldier on. One of the cool things about doing an eval is I get to lose myself in music for a bunch of hours and then a bunch more.
回顧爵士時(shí)代那每況愈下聲音，Miles Davis作曲的Kind Of Blue專輯是我評(píng)價(jià)一個(gè)新音樂類型/成分的參考點(diǎn)之一。就著2013年高清立體聲版本和Icon放大器，我繼續(xù)干著我的對(duì)比測(cè)試。做測(cè)評(píng)時(shí)其中很酷的一件事是，我要讓自己一次次地在音樂中達(dá)到好幾個(gè)小時(shí)的忘我狀態(tài)。

Here I start with the S. I don’t think I have ever heard opening track, So What, ever sound better on headphones (maybe on a SR007 mk1 on BHSEE, but that was a looong while ago).  The opening bass line hits deep and yet articulate, you hear all the inner detail and sub tones.  No mud being slung today. Then just to see if your system is up to snuff Miles starts slow then gently squeals. The new kid, HD800 S, just walks up to the line of too sharp but nails it. It seems perfect. Live Trumpet will be sharp and a bit piercing, and the S renders it pretty close to perfect. No detail is lost, the timbre is spot on, but I ain’t wincing.
這里，我先從HD800S說起。我不覺得自己曾聽過這個(gè)開場(chǎng)白—So What這首曲子在耳機(jī)上更好的聲音了（也許在BHSEE系統(tǒng)上的SR007 MKI上聽過，但那已是很久之前的事情了）。開場(chǎng)的低音聲線沖擊很深并且很清晰，你能聽到所有的細(xì)節(jié)和副調(diào)。沒有任何拖泥帶水。你只需要看你的系統(tǒng)是否良好地隨著Miles緩慢開始然后慢慢發(fā)出吱吱刺耳聲。新的HD800S，只是剛好觸及刺耳的界線但穩(wěn)住了。它似乎很完美?，F(xiàn)場(chǎng)小號(hào)有點(diǎn)尖銳和刺耳，但HD800S以幾近完美地表現(xiàn)出來。沒有任何細(xì)節(jié)丟失，音色也非常精準(zhǔn)，但我不會(huì)就此停住。

By contrast, the HD800 is just a little less convincing. Unlike on some tracks where it is hard to tell a difference, here the bass doesn’t go quite as low and doesn’t hit quite as hard. Still there is this really nice inner detail and if I hadn’t just heard the S, I would say the bass is pretty close to perfect. But when Miles Horn comes in, that is where the real differences are laid bare. On one hand I feel like I hear a little more of the breathiness of the Trumpet, but with it comes a kind of sibilant misbehavior, when Miles suddenly careens into the upper register of the instrument.  Later in the album, on places where Miles is more retrained (e.g. the opening bars of Freddie the Freeloader), the slightly extra bit of air gives a hair better sense of definition and detail, but still a little bit at the expense of tonality compared to younger bro.
相比之下，HD800的信服力則稍微少那么一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)說。不像在某些唱片上差異難以揭示，這里低音號(hào)的下潛還不夠深沖擊感不夠重。如果我剛剛沒有聽過HD800S，那憑這里著實(shí)非常好的細(xì)節(jié)，我會(huì)說低音已非常接近完美。但是當(dāng)來到管樂部分，真正的差別就暴露出來了。一方面，我感覺我聽到了稍微多一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的吹號(hào)的氣息聲，但當(dāng)邁爾斯突然轉(zhuǎn)向樂器高音域時(shí)，同時(shí)也伴隨著不太正常的嘶嘶聲。在專輯接下來的部分，在一些Miles更加游刃有余的地方，稍稍多出來的一點(diǎn)空氣感營造出更好一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的清晰度和細(xì)節(jié)感，但與HD800S相比仍然犧牲了一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)音色音調(diào)。

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Grateful Dead
I saved this for last because it is my personal fetish and some of you will just wanna skip to the conclusion, if anyone has even bothered to read this self-indulgent trope-fest to this point. In my sig I mention that aural bliss is Dark Star from Philadelphia in ’72. Dark Star is a psychedelic opus that represents everything that is great and sometimes bad about the tripped out improvisational style of the Grateful Dead. There are a couple of simple verses, the chords are few and easy to play, it becomes a holy modal stomping ground for group weirdness and no two version are alike, some are really, really not alike.
女士，先生們，Grateful Dead搖滾樂隊(duì)
我把這個(gè)保留在最后是因?yàn)樗俏覀€(gè)人的愛好之物，而一部分人可能想直接跳到后面的結(jié)論部分，是否有誰甚至愿意受累去讀這樣肆意地堆砌辭藻到這個(gè)時(shí)候。再我的簽名中我曾提到來自1972年迷幻音樂類型的Dark Star是一場(chǎng)聽覺盛宴。Dark Star是一部迷幻樂作品，表現(xiàn)了一切有關(guān)脫離Grateful Dead樂隊(duì)即興風(fēng)格的事物，這些事物是偉大的而有時(shí)也不好。有幾個(gè)簡單的規(guī)律，如和弦很少且也容易創(chuàng)作，這些規(guī)律變成了一種樂隊(duì)標(biāo)新立異創(chuàng)作的神圣模式偏好從而沒有兩個(gè)版本是相似的，有些確確實(shí)實(shí)的不相似的。

When I listen to this track from Dick’s Pick 36, I simply forget about which headphone is better. No matter which phone I use, the gear melts away and I am lost once again in Jerry-land. And at the end of the day that is what makes this hobby ( and both of these headphones) great.
當(dāng)我聽Dick’s Pick系列的第36合集的Dark Star時(shí)，我干脆忘記了哪個(gè)耳機(jī)更好。不管我使用哪個(gè)耳機(jī)，周遭的世界都漸漸消失而我再一次沉浸在Jerry(主音吉他手、主唱的名字)的世界里。正是這讓我的愛好還有這2個(gè)耳機(jī)在這天結(jié)束時(shí)顯得非常美好。

In conclusion:結(jié)論
HD800 more air, sometimes better instrument separation/definition. HD800 S sometimes goes a little lower and slams a bit more, warmer, blacker background, less prone to piercing highs, even more natural timbre and decay. S better with rock, hip hop, poor recordings and maybe electronica. Classical music, it's harder to say— In general it’s the S but on some recordings the air and instrument separation of the classic is quite beguiling. Jazz is similar to chamber music, but because of the prominence of bass and drums I think the S takes the show. Both seem to scale with amplification, both like my tube amp best. (I have three amps around here to try). I suspect the S is less amp dependent, but someone with more different amps would be better off answering this.  It MIGHT mean that total cost of ownership is less, in that you might find with the S a more modest amp will be enough than is required for the classic. More research will be required and head-fi being what it is, in a six months we will likely know.  The S is certainly the best Dynamic driver headphone available today. It seems to work with every genre of music I threw at it, improving on an already great set of cans.
In this suddenly crazy world of Head-fi summit phone pricing, the HD800 S seems like it is priced well. If you sell the cable you don’t need you are only a couple of hundred bones above the classic, which is starting to look damn cheap. If I were really pressed for funds and could stretch, now is the time to get a used HD800. Otherwise try an S.
HD800有更多的空氣感，有時(shí)更好樂器分離和清晰度。HD800S有時(shí)有稍稍更好的低頻下潛和稍微更強(qiáng)的沖擊感，偏暖音色，更黑的背景，少一些高頻尖銳刺耳的傾向，甚至更自然的音色和衰減。HD800S在搖滾、Hip Hop、質(zhì)量較差音源上表現(xiàn)更好，在電子樂中可能也要好點(diǎn)。古典樂上則難說，總體上是HD800S占優(yōu)但是在某些音源上它的空氣感和樂器分離度確有點(diǎn)欺騙性(不真實(shí))。爵士樂和室內(nèi)樂的情況類似，但是因其突出的低頻和鼓聲，我想HD800S主宰了對(duì)決。兩個(gè)耳機(jī)聲音都與放大器相關(guān)，它們都在我的電子管耳放上表現(xiàn)最好(我有三個(gè)放大器來做比較)。我猜測(cè)HD800S對(duì)耳放依賴性要少一些，但是誰如果有更多的耳放來做測(cè)試的話應(yīng)該能更好地回答這點(diǎn)。這很可能意味著HD800S的全部購置成本會(huì)少一些，因?yàn)橄鄬?duì)HD800，HD800S可以配置一個(gè)相對(duì)更平常的耳放就滿足要求了。這還需要更多的研究，這也是HIFI的本質(zhì)所在，大概6個(gè)月之后我們可能會(huì)得到答案。HD800S一定是當(dāng)今可買到的最好的動(dòng)圈耳機(jī)。我給它任何音樂類型，它都能工作的很好，在本就已經(jīng)極好的耳機(jī)(HD800)上做出改進(jìn)。
在這個(gè)頂級(jí)HIFI耳機(jī)定價(jià)突然變得很瘋狂的世界里，HD800S的價(jià)格似乎定得較好。如果你賣掉你不需要的平衡線，那么你將只相比HD800多花幾百塊錢(美元)就可以得到。這樣看起來就非常便宜了。如果是我，如確實(shí)受預(yù)算限制而又能節(jié)省，那正是時(shí)候買一個(gè)二手HD800。否則就試試HD800S吧。

I predict that the S will be loved by the professional reviewer class. They mostly wanted to love the classic, but couldn’t even though they respect it. With the S they get their perfect lover and their perfect spouse in a single package.
我預(yù)料HD800S將會(huì)受到專業(yè)評(píng)測(cè)人員的喜愛。他們通常想去擁抱經(jīng)典的HD800，但又不能即使他們考慮了它。有了HD800S，他們只需一個(gè)套裝即擁有了完美之物以及配件。

Lots of people been asking about this compared to the HEK. I think no one can actually tell youwhich is better, they sound so different. Personally, I didn't like the more relaxed sound of the HEK as much as the HD800, I feel it gave up just a little too much detail to get there.  I did a side by side with the HD800 this summer. It may be more of an all-rounder than the HD800 but now the S changes that equation.I also don't like how heavy it is, my neck gets sore. And finally, I don't have the same confidence in the longevity of the Hifimann, yet. And even more finally, $3000 is even crazier money. Too crazy for me with all the other stuff I could buy, given the fact that I find it a side grade at best. If you heard the HEK, liked it and were thinking of getting it, I would recommend auditioning the HD800S. The slightly warmer more natural  sound then the classic while retaining most of the precision, makes me think a few of the people tilting to the HEK might tilt back.
很多人想詢問HD800S與HE1000的對(duì)比評(píng)測(cè)。我想沒人能確切地告訴你哪個(gè)更好，他們的聲音如此不同。就個(gè)人來說，正如我不喜歡HD800的程度，我不喜歡HEK那種更松弛的聲音，我認(rèn)為HEK放棄了太多細(xì)節(jié)來達(dá)到它的聲音風(fēng)格。今年夏天，我曾做過HEK與HD800之間面對(duì)面的對(duì)比。相比HD800，HEK可能更加全能，但是現(xiàn)在HD800S改變了這個(gè)局面。我也不喜歡HEK的重量，我的脖子壓得酸痛。最后，我對(duì)HifiMan公司能生存多久沒有對(duì)等的信心。更決定性的，3000美元價(jià)格更加瘋狂。對(duì)我而言這個(gè)價(jià)錢太瘋狂了，我可以買任何其他的東西，事實(shí)情況是我發(fā)現(xiàn)它充其量只是一個(gè)小修小改的拉皮產(chǎn)品(意思是不是重大實(shí)時(shí)性的升級(jí)，side grade這個(gè)詞來自于軟件領(lǐng)域，意思是一個(gè)軟件只是另一個(gè)軟件在功能上的類似物或者指同一個(gè)軟件的不同平臺(tái)產(chǎn)品而主版本號(hào)沒變)。如果你聽說過HEK，喜歡它而且想擁有它，那我建議你去試聽HD800S。溫暖而比HD800更自然的聲音同時(shí)卻最大程度地保留了精準(zhǔn)度，讓我覺得曾經(jīng)傾向于HEK的一部分人可能會(huì)傾向HD800S。

Don’t ask me about LCDs, I don’t like’em and I could explain why ( heavy, quality control issues, sound), but who cares. For me, if it isn’t the S, I would go for a SR009 or if, as rumored, the new SR007s are really better than the early mkiis then they are worth a look. The new Stax SR L700 seems like it is worth a shot. But they all will come to even crazier money and you are locked into idiosyncratic amps.
不要問我LCD系列，我不喜歡它們而且我有充分的理由解釋為什么(太重，品控問題，聲音等)，但誰在乎呢。對(duì)我，如果不是有HD800S，我會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)向SR009或者新的SR007,如果后者真如謠傳的那樣確實(shí)好于早期的SR007 MKII那它們就值得一看。Stax新出的SRL007似乎值得一試。但是它們都會(huì)帶來更瘋狂的定價(jià)同時(shí)你也將受限于一些特殊耳放。

I would recommend that anyone who has the HD800 try to demo before upgrading blindly. I can imagine some people not wanting to lose the little extra bit of airiness and precise definition between instruments for the more restrained charms of younger bro. For people who were scared away by the hot treble of the classic, now it’s time to give the new baby a look. As always on head-fi YMMV.
我建議所有已經(jīng)有HD800的人在盲目升級(jí)HD800S之前先試聽。我能想象一些人并不想為了HD800S那更內(nèi)斂的魅力而失去那稍微多一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的空氣感和分離度。對(duì)于那些被HD800猛烈的高頻所嚇跑的人，現(xiàn)在可以考慮試試新的HD800S了。在頭戴式HIFI耳機(jī)上，每個(gè)人的感受總是不盡相同(YMMV= your mileage may vary，意思是以不同的方式體驗(yàn)特定的事物，結(jié)果因人而異)。
