Hi guys!
just bought HD800S
will be paired on FiiO M17

seeing they have included both 6,3 and 4,4mm cables.

Is the 4,4mm balanced stock cable good enough or do I have to search for something better?

giving a quick sight on ebay but there is the "world" of choice:

or also maybe here on head-fier market?

thank you in advance!

It’s fine, except over time, senn cables may develop a casing break over years….course if you’re a cable person with a preferred cabler, go for it. But that’s your call. I love my prion 4 but whichever.

Thank you mate!
in the meantime I realized from the seller they come only with 6,5mm cable, so I have to buy balanced cable for my M17 4,4/2,5 input...Any suggestion to get something good avoiding overspending?

Try Sky Audio Cables.

My HD800s came with a balanced, 4.4mm cable. I used that for months until I switched to Cardas Clear. The switch was good, but not incredibly necessary.

Guys,
my hd800s should arrive on Monday.
I asked to my "cable pusher" to prepare me a palladium-silver-gold balanced cable...

ok thx for the assistance i will try return it i hope they will respect the 14 day refund

just an update on the headphone in the end, they didn't refund me and not even give me new headphones, the store said they need to send it to be tested and the test said it's all good, I give them a video that even retard can see a problem but they still don't respect it RIP 1700$

here is the video


sorry no English speaking here basically i put the headphones with 2 different amps and had sound issues, in the end, i switched to hd6xx and there is no sound issue I also tried with a different dac and pc same issue but didn't record it. i didn't think this guys would say headphones are all good well crap i should have gathered more evidence for this clowns i guess when u get a faulty unit in Sennheiser is saying goodbye to your money..

You’ve done what you’ve done but what is the stated return policy, in Canada each store sets its policy it’s law that 30 days for defects, in Canada we have the right to reject product with a caveat of stated retail policy that negates this.

the warning is know your rights and deal with retail that meets your exchange needs.

and I’d take it to the manufacturer directly. They may have a defect policy of 1 year.

Has anyone tried the ZMF 8XX Suede pads on the 800s?

Ok I have just bought another pair of the HD800S after selling them 2 year ago What a hobby this is.
I guess its the comfort that I really miss about these and of course its nice to have a different sound signature every now and then.

However I will be looking to use EQ as I would like to tame the treble a touch as I know I used to do this in the past.
Maybe also give the bass a little boost as I used to love my HD800S with my Ifi Micro SD with the bass boost on. So I would like to try this.
I am a novice with EQ and I use Roon so woule be using this to do it.
Anyone have any setttings they could share or any tips. All advice welcome as I can experiment when i receive them.
