If you mean the SD mod, Sennheiser invented their Helmholz resonator befor @Sorrodje reengineered it. And other companies raised the price bar long before Sennheiser. Compared to some the HD820 is priced reasonable to be honest. Wait till the dust settles and get it with a good discount. I waited till 2016 to get my first HD800.
"Others did it too" is not a very valid argument. I'm saying, a used pair of HD800 can be found for very good prices and if one wants, modded / EQ'd to taste. (They are the most EQable hp I've found yet.) I could see the prices making more sense if we were talking about new models, but at least the 800S seems to be the 800 with an extra cable, minor mods and a new color. A closed model is a different beast altogether, but they achieved good results (imo) with HD598Cs, with a lowered price even.
If this is sensible pricing to you, then go on and support this crazy trend.
