Interesting how the later ones seem to have a bass boost compared to the very flat response of the early ones.....

Just got this today:
I think I may soon be applying some EQ to reduce the peak at ~10k.

Just out of interest, does anyone know what the earliest models (S/N's) of the HD 800 with the 'resolved' treble issues (which head-fiers have been posting about) are?

post #293 of 3795/21/12 at 8:49pmI'm not sure how my graph (#595) fits into the general pattern:
The graphs so far have a strong general tendency toward flatness, without any evidence of peakiness. The idea of Sennheiser providing this info is to show that their Loudness Diffuse Field is substantially flat. I have a feeling that, if a headphone exhibited strong peaks or troughs, they wouldn't pass inspection.

That looks pretty flat to me. Enjoy! :-)

You have to register your HD800 and you have an option for a frequency chart there.
edit: it seems someone beat me to it
post #299 of 3796/5/12 at 6:34pmthanks
post #300 of 3796/8/12 at 3:20pmMine just landed in the mail today,
I'm going to try the Anax mod soon to see if it's more pleasing than using a parametric eq. Though I've honestly never had any major issues with the upper treble emphasis.
