Since HD800s is an "Improvement" version, I afraid it will be $2.2k to $2.5k to be compete with HIFIMAN HE1000 pricing and HD800 is not EOL.
Victim of the news release reporting in(http://www.head-fi.org/t/785666/fs-sennheiser-hd-800-new-unused)
I wonder if tweaked pads are responsible for the extended bass response, like with the AKG K7__ series.
I'm not sure I understand Sennheiser's communication strategy for the HD-800S. They issue no press realse or any specific information but they allow the owner and founder of Head-Fi to post a quasi-announment with little technical information that causes 21+ pages of speculation. Very strange.

Can't wait for please to start posting frequency charts for the HD800s
There is allot that can happen sq wise twerking with the ear pads. That has always been the biggest downfall of the hd800 to me. I like the ear pads they are just such a pain to replace imo. Still the price for the upgrade should be no more than $100 diy and $200 factory installed. That is what Lawton charges for Level 1 fostex/denon upgrade and I think it is well worth it.
Anymore than that will really turn me off and I have zero interest in the headphone since I just got my btg audio hd800 cable. Will def. wait for a hd850/900 if no upgrade package becomes available.

Having an upgrade policy would be an amazing idea IMHO. If lets say base on what was announce that its ideally the same headphone with just different tuning and acoustic absorber. So ideally it just adding 2 additional into the manufacturing operation. Having an upgrade policy might just help ease the bottleneck at the other production stages (Which is usually the bottleneck compared to assembly stages) in addition Sennheiser will still get to earn money. That would most definitely be a win-win situation for buyer and seller. Assuming all my assumptions are right
And probably lurking in the wings, getting a feel for what pricing would seem to be acceptable and for ideas on the best blurb to launch/release it with.
