New HD 800 very different than the old HD 800 - Page 12

All HD800's have the treble peak objectively. Subjectively everyones ears are different so sound presentation may be a pro for one person whilst a con for another. I'm quite used to bright sounding headphones.

Agreed. 

 

Also, I'm not disputing that My HD800's don't have a peak. They do, its just not at 6khz... Its from 8-10k and its a biggy :) Thats how cymbals/hi hats and the like really come across. But a 6k peak would cause annoyance with most instruments and bring unwanted sharp edges to piano for e.g. Now it may well be that my ears just aren't picking it up compared to others. But headphones I've owned in the past have annoyed me in this area...

And how do you deal with this? Have you experimented with Anaxilus mod?

Sometimes it's still too hot to my taste, I'll probably try the mod, in my experience they all worked wonder for D5000, T1, MDR-1R. Hot rodding phones biggrin.gif
