May I ask when did you purchase your HD800? I find it incredible that the sales of HD800 is about to reach the 50k mark..

If the stock cable has loose connectors in the earcups it needs to go back to where you bought it for replacement or back to  Sennheiser to be fixed on warranty. They should be very snug if they are fairly new and OEM.

I don't think it's ear cups because isn't loosy output just cable seems to be to small for earcup conectors , that's why I can move a little bit .... The earcup conector is pretty solid

ok. If that's the case you should be able to just replace the cable and you should be good to go. Or get the cable reterminated on the headphone side.

I think the connector has a little play by construction. Nothing to worry about. Mine is 20524 and also has the same behavior than yours.

One thing I noticed about the HD 800 was that on the left side of the handle, there are 3 vertical dots. No dots on the right side. Apparently, its the braille letter for 'L.'
 
I just noticed this last night and was really happy that Sennheiser did this to accommodate every kind of listener. Every headphone should be doing this in some way.

+1 I agree
 
I have the HD598, HD600 and HD700.  They are all marked for the seeing impaired.

You're right. I just noticed the 598 has it as well. Out of curiosity I checked all my other headphones and only the Sennheisers had them. This should be standard across the board on all headphones.

These (usually three, sometimes only one) dots are very common actually.

Hello,

This is my first post on these forums so please forgive me if this is a newbie question.

I recently purchased a pair of HD 800 headphones via Italian reseller on eBay. These will be my new PC gaming cans, replacing my AKG Q701's. My current setup is as follows: Creative Labs Titanium HD sound card, feeding Objective 2 headphone amp, feeding Q701.

My question is, is the O2 amp a good fit to drive the HD 800's? I will be listening to some music, but the primary function will be PC gaming. This means I want the best positional audio I can get, and the most immersive experience possible in games.

Will I be well served by the O2 amp? How does it compare with something like the Shiit Valhalla2 or another tube style amp? I am willing to spend a further $500 or so to upgrade the amp if it will produce superior sound with the HD 800.

Thank you for reading and I appreciate any replies!

 
I think it is safe to say the Valhalla 2 will be a noticeable upgrade over the O2.

My venus audio HD800 balanced cable keeps falling out — I asked about it and they got back to me saying "All you need to do is put a very small amount of glue on the inside of the connector. You just need to get a very small amount of resistance for the plug. Preferably hot glue. You only need a very small drop. Like a pin head."
 
Any experience with loose-fitting HD800 connectors?
