英国What Hi-Fi杂志是英国最重要的音响杂志之一(其他几本是Hi-Fi Choice, Hi-Fi News等). 在最新出版的2009年10月号里,它对森海塞尔的新旗舰耳机HD800,以及美国歌德GS1000i这两副高档动圈耳机做了一个评论和对比(GS1000i是GS1000的改进型号). 结果是 ... What Hi-Fi只给了HD800四颗星,而给了GS1000i 五颗星的评价. 并且在耳机的评论里,What Hi-Fi给出了一个直接对比式的,有主观褒贬的判断:

The only thing that counts against the HD800s is that for all their precise clarity, they don't muster the astonishing levels of instrumental realism that the Grados manage. As great as these Sennheisers are, the Grados have an authenticity and openness that makes the HD800s sound, comparatively, slightly sterile.

(HD800唯一不利的一点是,尽管它的声音十分精确和清晰,但它不能获得歌德GS1000i 耳机所拥有的高度乐器真实感. 尽管森海HD800是非常伟大的耳机,但歌德GS1000i 有着更好的声音真实度和开放度,令HD800相比之下显得轻微有些发干.)

英国另一本权威性的音响杂志Hi-Fi Choice在第325期上也对GS1000i和HD800两副顶级动圈耳机做了一个对比性的描述. 原文为:

Comparing this model with the HD800, we'd have to say we felt the latter to have the edge in both tonal neutrality and detail. On the other hand, the Grado is, perhaps, a little more lively dynamically and that alone will make it the obvious choice for many listeners. It has endless rhythmic vivacity and that, combined with the high resolution, makes it without a doubt one of the most convincing bits of audio kit we know.

(将这个耳机,即GS1000i,和HD800做一对比,我们必须承认,HD800在音色的中性和细节再现方面略有优势,但是与此同时歌德GS1000i的声音也许在动态上更为活跃一些. 仅这一点就可以使很多人选择它. 它具有无尽的节奏活跃感,这点和它极高的解析能力结合在一起,使它毫无疑问地成为最令人信服的音响重播器材之一.)

当然,引用以上这些来自英国的评论仅供大家参考.
