I think the only rational answer to your question is to sell them…to me for really cheap.

Tuff question to answer though. I’ve sold things and thought I’d felt great to free up some space and money. Other times if sold things and ended up with sellers regret. The nice thing with headphones is they are pretty replaceable if not emotionally attached to a certain pair.

The serial number is 35xxx. And indeed made in Germany (were they ever made anywhere else?). Where does that number sit on the desirability scale?

Some HD800S are Made in Ireland. I don't know if production of the original HD800 was always in Germany or not. I don't follow serial numbers too closely personally, I just know a bunch of people do.

Thank you!

Just my 2c. HD800s were my second pair of high-end headphones (after HD650's) and since I've moved on from them, I've never had the urge to go back and listen to them. I'd sell!

If you've already found a sound you like and use only that headset more than 90% of the time, there's little reason to leave the others behind. Might as well sell and upgrade your current equipment for a good deal.

Have you tried eq-ing your HD800 before selling them? In my case, it made an incredible difference and completely changed my perception of them. Now firmly a keeper again and frequently stunned by their performance.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the friendly advice, but my HD800 has found a happy new owner by now.I still agree they are great cans but I barely find the time to properly use my Utopias and simply don't have the time for several setups.

Really loving my original HD 800 with tubes. Had a pair of HD 800 S too in the past but sold those off and kept the HD 800. They do tend to be bright without tubes or eq.

HD800 can only be sold if you are going to take AKG K812 instead, in other cases there is no point
