Is the Senn 800s the end game or is it hype? I mean, it sounds like a great pick for classical, chamber music, acoustic, and jazz but for an everyday is it really all that?

Nope, not for me - first high end headphone that I sold again.
The build feels cheap, the pads are awful and sound like newspaper when you move them, the bass is anemic and not detailed, just mush - so not great to just boost via eq, and the peaks in the treble have to be eq’ed out.
The wide stage feels forced on any modern genre of music, as you said they might be nice for jazz and classical music which I don’t listen to… for acoustic stuff, they weren’t bad.
