On that bright note, its goodnight from the sub-continent. I know what I'm going to dream tonight

What pisses me off about this headphone is how easily you can scuff it.

I don't believe in cable but it's one nice cable ! very nicely braided. 

I believe that cable can be pretty --- and yes, that one looks great

As a brand new owner, please elaborate.. Should I be worried?

Just keep them on the headphone stand when they are not on your head......mine are perfect, but I dont even put them down on my desk

I've read that you can input your S/N to Sennheiser and receive a frequency response chart.
 
I'm having trouble finding where to do so - any ideas?
 
Thanks in advance.

I recently contacted Sennheiser about this. You have to register your headphone and request the frequency response chart. It's completely handled by Sennheiser Germany, so it may take some time for you to get it, apparently.

Mine are well over a year old (SN 18xxx), and I can't say I'm overly cautious with handling them. So far not a single chip, scuff or scratch. Even the cable does not have any kinks (although I stopped using it a few months ago).
 
The only signs of wear are fingerprints on the metal foil and of course the velour padding shows some use.

To be fair, it isn't so much the metal part of the headphone but the fabric or kevlar material that seems to easily get scratch. When taking out the cable connector, I scratched it a bit. Oh well.

Mine are about two years old and have several tiny nicks in the paint It has no effect on the sound so I ignore them. I use mine several hours every day so I refuse to get paranoid about a few nicks. I do take off the pads and clean them every couple of months but that's really easy and the pads bounce back like new after a good cleaning. The sponge nature of these pads absorb sweat and body fluid so cleaning really helps. I immerse them in a liquid solution with a small amount of dish washing liquid and soak them. Then I soak them in clean water and rinse until all the impurities are out. I use a hair drier to get them dry and let them sit overnight before replacing them onto the headphones. They come out like new. I have no doubt over some very long period of time the outer material would wear requiring total replacement, but mine have not reached that point in two years of constant use.

I have had my HD800 for a few months now and they have not got a scratch on them. They are either on my head or on my stand.
