It's standard 4 pin xlr. The official 4 pin xlr cable isn't out yet, so the only way anyone is listening to it balanced right now is with third party cables, and there's been no reports of any weirdness using those.

I saw Customcable listing the official xlr cable on their site, so I asked them about it and they say it's coming early June. I hope so, as I really like the ergonomics of the stock HD 800 cable and would prefer getting a xlr cable...
