Treble extension is not something I'd trust from people who've intended shows. Those super high frequencies could have gotten drowned out quite easily, as it's not something that's very audible. Hell, half the time I don't even trust myself when it comes to qualifying treble extension in extended listening sessions in my quiet room when comparing headphones.
The resonator does seem to work in smoothing out the treble peaks though, according to measurements from the community with their experimental resonators.
The extra bass and treble extension would be something I'd love regardless though, can't wait for full reviews later on.
I totally agree. Although it seems that in Vienna they had an HD800 and an HD800S both coming out of an HDV800 amp so you could quickly go back and forth. So, it isn't definitive, it is encouraging. We also have sennheiser saying that is how it will sound so expectation bias could be coloring the early reports.
