Audio-gd NOS11 V2 also "does the damage" with them.
Hey Bill,Woo WA2...but I'm biased.
Hey Bill,
Got your Yggy back yet? I'm anxious to hear your take... Man I'd love to listen to that WA5-LE (2nd gen) Headphone Amplifier....$5K but it sure looks sweet....I know you love your WA2...hope its pairing nicely with your Yggy Analog 2 upgrade!
That seems very odd. I just ordered a replacement HD 800 storage box from Sennheiser for my HD 800 S headphones and it was still lined with synthetic silk. The fact they included a silver CH 800 cable is also strange. Personally, I would exchange them for a different pair because I suspect it is an isolated incident or the seller shipped you an open-box pair.Just received my second pair of HD800S, there are some minor differences between this pair and the pair I sold 2 years ago:
1. No velvet on top of the foam that protect the headphone.
2. The bundled 4 pins XLR cable has a silver-colored jack, rather than black.
3. Some rough edges on the black plastic parts of the headphone housings.
Sonically, I have no complaint. However, the overall presentation and build quality of this new pair seems subpar. I am slightly disappointed. Perhaps it's due to the introduction of HD820 - the best workers may be allocated to the HD820 production line. BTW, the serial number of my pair is 169xx.
May I ask what's the serial number of your pair? It's on top of the headband. Thanks.I bought my current HD800S directly from Sennheiser at Axpona in mid April and it has the black balanced cable and no rough edges. Same box as the first ones I bought when they first came out.
I'll post it when I get home.May I ask what's the serial number of your pair? It's on top of the headband. Thanks.
I have contacted Sennheiser as well. I will post their reply here as soon as I receive it.I have contacted Sennheiser asking about the cable.
