I play with hd800s or my Arya's. It doesn't give you an advantage but it sure as fuck FAR more enjoyable to have a comfortable, amazing sounding set of headphones on....

I'm trying to decide between those. I listen to jam bands and electronic music so the extra bass from the Arya would be kind of nice but the sound stage and clarity of the 800s would be nice for the jam bands. Please help me make up my mind!

You absolutely can't go wrong. Both are outstanding. I was a full 800s guy until I got the Arya's (I also have the Anandas) and Id say the hifiman are more comfortable. I won't get into SQ since it's such a personal preference.

If I had to sell one with a gun to my head, I'd probably sell the hd800s and honestly, only becuase the the Arya are more comfortable.
