Will update the thread as and when i get more information. Brandon makes a pair of pads for the HD800 / S / 820 that are £34.99 compared to the £65+ from sennheiser and i really hope that he can pull this off ..... watch this space

Accessory House Global LTD. B. Mullin The gentlemans name is Brandon and he supplies headphone ear pads for several makes of headphones - i have asked him if he would be interested in manufacturing ear pads for the K812 as i recently ordered a replacement pair from an authorised AKG dealer and...

Just got an r2r11 second hand to replace my faulty dac and separate headphone amplifier (also faulty) and initial impressions are very positive..... my AKGs like it and apart from a few minor niggles (which i have contacted Magna Hifi about) i will be keeping it and disposing of my old kit. The...

AKG customer support have replied to me re my request to convert the 812 to balanced ... they declined... still waiting for a reply from Fix My Headphones..... AKG K812 Headphones currently available on E bay UK for £499.99 - seller has more than 10 available (26/1/19)

I found a company UK based called Fix My Headphones (fixmyheadphones.co.uk) earlier on today and have emailed them for a quote...... I also contacted AKG customer support and asked them if they would do it for me. Bet AKG are expensive IF they are willing to do it. Watch this space as i will...

HELP WANTED : could somebody be so kind as to recommend a specialist who can convert/modify my 812s to balanced please ? not had much luck with internet search so i thought i would ask here. Thanks in advance. I am UK based.

The headphones have arrived....running in and in the meanwhile am awaiting delivery of my Oidion Mongrel cable (its balanced 4 pin xlr with xlr to 6.3mm jack adaptor) which is due in about 10 days. It will be interesting to see how the sound evolves over the next 200 hours. They are very...

Just ordered the HD660S £349 including next next day delivery. (Listed on the Sennheiser UK website for £429) They are replacing AKG K812 headphones. Eventually i will run the HD660S balanced (Gungnir Multibit and Mjolnir 2 ). Oidio sound will be supplying me with a balanced cable for the HD660S...

Alas i will not be posting my impressions as i have cancelled my order and got a refund.... sorry

Ah well never mind i shall cancel the order and get a refund..... Thankfully i paid by PayPal.

OK so i am having some issues with Forza...... do they have a reputation for taking ages to respond to messages sent via their messaging system anyone? also are emails to a guy called Matt at Forza answered very slowly? I have waited over 48 hours for a reply to a message sent via their...

will do but will need at least a month to burn in and acclimatise to the new cable

It is with a 6.3mm jack but i ordered via blue as i have had a cable from another maker that was terminated with a via blue jack.

I have just placed an order for a Noir HPC Mk2 headphone cable for my AKG K812 headphones.... shipping costs to the UK were only 6 euros and i noted that it will ship in recyclable packaging too. It is my first purchase from Forza and i look forward to receiving the cable soon.

Hello Oliver, Thank you for your email. The HD 800 is not discontinued and is still a current and active product in the market. I hope this helps. Regards, Arman Azam Sennheiser Service Team Your original correspondence: Has the HD800 been discontinued? Make of this what you...

A reasonable price for a used pair of HD800S would be around £700 for me (roughly $900)..... at this price point i would expect to see signs of use / minor blemishes etc... if they were mint then no more than £800.... again this is what i am prepared to pay and other peoples pricing may well...

Well its been over a month or so since i switched this on and i have decided to get the multibit upgrade as soon as funds allow then add a Mjolnir 2 to the mix and change my headphones from AKG K812 over to SENNHEISER HD800 S Balanced. The DS version is Ok but i feel i am missing the multibit...

The difference for me compared to the bifrost multibit is hard for me to quantify...... i was an early adopter of the bifrost and upgraded to uber before upgrading to gen 2 usb and multibit. I guess i had the bifrost 6+ years and all i can say is that the sound from the gungnir sounds less...

Just upgraded from Bifrost Multibit to Gungnir DS....... i am the 3rd owner and the unit is 3+ years old. I shall upgrade to Multibit as soon as funds allow and also get the Gen 5 USB board fitted at the same time. Thanks go to Fraser for selling it to me at a very reasonable price. A nice piece...

I stand corrected about the Audeze company........ I found out that they do micro-suede pads for some of their cans...... this gives me the option of looking into auditioning a pair of LCD 3s Thanks 

Anybody using this? i was keen to find someone who was using it with the SENNHEISER HD 800 headphones and get some feedback.  Thanks Rick

HI i currently have the AKG K712 and SENNHEISER HD650 (both are vegan friendly) ..... I mainly use the AKG K712 through a CHC HA10SE TUBE HYBRID AMP. The HD 800S are my endgame headphone (these too are vegan friendly)   The only other pairs of headphones that i had were the beyerdynamic...
