So what's a good mic solution for the HD800?
I'd guess a modmic since the HD800 is dual-cable.
Feggy, yeah I read up on what Senn did to tame the 6khz peak, as well as the French DIY mod to the HD800. All very interesting. 5-8khz is the 'death zone' where a peak can just destroy ears. 8-9khz isn't much better, but more manageable. 10khz and up isn't really an issue for me unless it's stupid absurdly overpowered.
I totally understand the sense of space changing, since that's how I hear the Ether C. The warmer the tuning pad setup, the sense of air diminishes, even though soundstage is still generally the same. People can perceive it as smaller due to that tonal shift.
That sounds like an X2 to me.
No headphone is perfect. You always gotta give and take.
Try the K7XX perhaps. If it's anything like the K702 Anniversary, then you're covered very well. It's not on the guide because I haven't tested that variant though I have heard from plenty of others that it is very much a K702 Annie/K712 or something in between, both which will suit you well, with the K7XX being much cheaper.
Damn... Still can't decide. I've looked into this the whole weekend and there is at least one issue for each of the models I've selected.
HD598: apparently there is almost no bass?
DT990: apparently the trebles are really tiresome.
DT880: apparently it has issues with virtual headphones, rear sound does not work that weel.
K702: same issue as for the HD598.
So back to the point where I do not know what to do. Maybe the K612 Pro could be the solution...
Else do you know if the bass issue of K702 or HD598 be solved with some EQ ? I do not want something with constant basses but I would like to hear them at least :s
Or maybe do you know any other model which could fit the bill: open, best sound quality without sacrificing bass and preferably with a detachable cable.

Aw, crap. I think I just instantly blew my MMX 300's left driver after accidentally leaving the system volume at 100. This was just after a proper recabling, too.
I don't think I need to explain how pissed off I am at the prospect of having to track down another MMX 300/DT770 32-ohm driver and baffle to get this thing fully working once again. It might not even be cost-effective at all compared to just buying a used DT770 and transplanting the drivers.
Meanwhile, I should have a Sennheiser PC360 I found for a stupidly low price by next week. That one might require a recabling as well, but hey, not like I haven't done that before. Then I'll have a good impression of both like I always wanted.
