Wow! How many of us will be itching to try the new HD820 pads - hope they will fit on the HD800S

Referring to Dekoni earpads or the HD820?

 

[Dulalala]

How do you find the Fenestrated Sheepskin? Impression so far?

I've had mine for a bit. General changes, to me at least, is slight decrease in treble and soundstage, making the HD800S a bit warmer and intimate. Whether you will like this or not depends on your preference I guess. It's very comfortable though, abeit a bit warm, though that's to be expected from a leather earpad.

It will interesting to see the reviews this phone gets....I'm still lovin' my 800S....wonder what the soundstage sounds like with these??? Cool piece of Gorilla Glass too ...

HD820 - Please stop, my wallet can only take so much damage.

im selling my dekoni hd800 hybrid, used for like 30 minutes, just not suit my preference, it is extremely comfortable though. Hit me up if you guys interested.

 

[twiceboss]

anyone interested on this Dekoni hybrid pads, hit me up! It is new, just try them out and not suiting my preference.

If you wanna try it get this one instead of buying new since it is considered new with a cheaper price tag, so if u dont like it, u can sell it cheaper

Has anyone done in in-depth comparison of HD800S partnered with Schiit Ragnarok vs Schiit Mjolnir 2? I've recently upgraded my DAC from Schiit Bifrost 4490 to Schiit Yggdrasil and am now looking to upgrade my SE headphone amp (Schiit Valhalla 1) to a balanced drive amp. I had Schiit Jotunheim on home demo last summer but found it sounded too sterile and one-dimensional with HD800S. So my balanced choices are Ragnarok and Mjolnir 2. I'd like to know how well do these two amps pair with HD800S?

If you are only using headphones Mjolnir 2 is a solid choice for HD800S but only running balanced. You can do better than Mjolnir 2 with an Eddie Current Aficionado if within your budget. HD800S really scale well with TOTL tube amps.

In case anyone is interested... I just noticed that Dekoni Pads are up on Massdrop (3 days left on the clock)

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/dekoni-premium-ear-pads-for-sennheiser-hd-800

There were talks about them a few posting back... personally I've not tried any of them (i.e. sheepskin / velour / hybrid) before.

 

[paradoxper]

Buy them just for the comfort. I've only tried the Elite Sheepskin but no going back for me.

Hey guys... I am SO PISSED! I'm pretty sure this has happened at least once or twice to others in this thread, but TLDR...

I just got my Senn HD800S that I'd been saving up all my pennies for - for ages. Didn't even have them for 24 hours. I decided to take a look at the cable change out process and what do you know... it pulled out the whole jack, including wires on one side of the phones. $1700 headphones down the drain. Now I'm starting the repair process with Sennheiser. There's no way I'm paying a dime for this... What a load of crap! I was expecting a lot more for $1700.

Manufacturing defect does happen, just give them time and they will do it right for you. That is why there is warranty

 

[Mullet]

You're right. I'll chalk it up to manufacturing defect. Still I'd expect more out of TOTL headphones. They sounded amazing when I was able to use them though. Best headphones I've ever listened to.

Has anyone tried the HD800S with Crack-a-two-a? How do they sound?
