Thanks, very interesting. Although, one of the reasons I bought the HD800S again is its comfort, so light and no clamp. But no doubt, the Utopia is more elegant and stunning in itself. Well, one can't have them all.

My secondhand HD800S sounds great and all but what annoys me is its loose adjustment mechanism. If I put them on or take them off, oftentimes the yokes slide apart on the headband which requires me to readjust the yokes for proper fitting. In my attempt to address this issue, I unsnapped the middle cushion piece from the headband and tried to bend the adjustment "bead" more into the adjustment hole using a pair of pliers; I placed some fabric cushioning on top of the headband to prevent scratches to the plastic yoke. There was only marginal improvement. Are there any other tricks others here have tried that provide a more solid adjustment means for these cans?

I've been using mine for about a year and the headband stays put for me. Unless they're really loose it might be the way you're taking them off ?

I dont know i have these 4 years and heaband is not lossy. At every step is should click and hold its position.
Mine slipped too.

I just grab the earcups like I do with any other headphone that own and lift them off my head.
Sure, each step audibly clicks. However, if I let one hand go from the earcup or rest the headphone at my preferred adjustment setting on my thumb, you can definitely hear the adjustment mechanism step and click out its original position due to gravity.

Cool, a lossless headband — must be way more real and organic sounding!

I built a shelf for HP system but it's a little higher to avoid standing bass waves ;~)

Is there a consensus for a favorite aftermarket cable for the 800s'? In the market for a copper cable. Thanks!
I do no think there ever will be a consensus to anything cable-related
. I personally like my Moon Audio Silver Dragon (and yes, silver works great with the HD800S).
