So : Possibly fake or defective pads maybe.   I'll purchase some new pads and headband cushion myself and then I'll send it to Colorware. My HD800 needs rejuvenating

Oh nice. I want to send mine in to colorware, but I need to wait until the warranty expires so I have a way to go. What color(s) are you doing?

I want to do my HD 800 same color as my amp.

 

[RingingEars]

^^ Wow. That's a nice amp. A matching HD800 would look great.

Great idea... Matching HD 800 and amp. Improves their compatibility and sound, too.

Never!!!

I think it would look really cool. with he same yellow and black combo and I could sit it right next to the amp.

It is an age-old question, many seem to think they are different and many others says they're not. What's make it even more interesting is that Headroom actually have 3 different measurements of the HD800, and they all have different FR.
 

 
Different setups. They changed the amp at some point i think.

There is no such thing as " good mp3"
What the point of geting hd800 IF you going to listen to compressed audio?
Hd650 is fine for it...

MP3 and compression does not exactly fit in a same sentence.
You get approximations instead of real information, but its still 96dB of dynamics.
Oh, you meant zipping..  
 
Regarding fidelity, i can usually pick out, which is mp3 and which is lossless with monitors and HD800 rig, although i must agree with PleasantSounds, todays LAME is realy good codec. In casual listening i can't discern LAME encoded stuff from FLAC. The obviously crappy sounding mp3-s are ime just encoded badly or from crappy master.
