So very, very wrong.  

Someone should see if Sennheiser has as sense of humor !
 
Put this picture on a T-shirt , put the shirt on & then text them a picture of you giving the "Thumbs Up" sign !

Isn't there something in the American Constitution forbidding 'cruel and unusual punishment'?
 
This might qualify.

Are you implying this would be "Politically Incorrect" ? (We wouldn't want to stir up anymore "International bad feeling" then we
already have; though you could say you're from France & they'd be none the wiser

)

Did you notice that the symbol that looks like the Beats lower case "b" is actually a lower-case "a?" That is to signify that these headphones are a-level quality, not b-level (and that at "a," we are one step ahead of those "b's" at Beats).

You can read more about how this symbol and the headphone medallion came to be in one of my first posts, "How I Plan To Fund My Headphone Addiction," here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/704339/how-i-plan-to-fund-my-new-headphone-addiction#post_10243434

In short, my venture seeks to bridge the fundamental gap of headphones... headphone that sound great vs. headphones that look great. It introduces a very expensive medallion that can be stuck on each earpiece of yourr very-best-sounding headphones, regardles of headphone model, making them attractive like Beats, while still sounding great.

And in selling these medallions, I can fund my 36-headphone habit!

I'm implying that it might cause some "probably very serious about their products" Sennheisser people to choke on their bratwurst

 
Kinda like putting a Ted Bundy endorsement on a Twinkie - not really a good fit.

Actually, if you think about it the Bundy endorsement of Twinkies is a natural fit; They're both "Killers" that no one recognizes until it's
too late !!!
 
The Sennheiser people will just have to learn how to eat "Liverwurst" (If you can't have a "chuckle" about things every so often, maybe
it's time to try something else; If they're smart enough to make a high quality product, they should be smart enough to see a "joke"
for what it is)

About 2 years ago I became interested in the sonic problems of the metal headband with the Stax SR007 and came up with a damping system which imrpoved the sound quite a lot. The other day it was pointed out to me that Sennheiser appears to be doing the same thing with the HD800.
 
Here I quote from their advertisement : "Metal headband with inner-damping element" http://en-us.sennheiser.com/dynamic-headphones-high-end-around-ear-hd-800. It even says "minimal resonance."
 
This you tube video shows the headband in more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlA84jbTkxk
 
This one talks about "the worlds most advanced sound dampening frame:" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttLgOWgk7PU This is very much in line with what I am doing with Stax phones except that now I am more concerned with damping the earcups.
 
Has anyone looked into the construction of the band? In one of the videos I swear I see something like sorbothane pads under the band when it is opened up. Apparently Sennheiser refers to "visco-elastic treatment"
 
My search of this thread didn't turn aup any discussions of this topic. Anyone here looked into it?

Their is some scratches and a very tiny small dent on my HD800 1/4 golden cable jack. 
 
I'm know being paranoid but will it badly affect the sound quality ?

They will have ABSOLUTELY no effect whatsoever on your sound quality. Plugs are meant to take a beating.

A few scratches and dents, like a few body scars, adds character

I have a few scratches on my Sennheiser HD800. These have a worse build quality than my Shure SRH 1840?
 
I doesn't affect the sound so it's no problem. But it probably will reduce the re-sale value.

The paint is known to scratch and chip for 6 years now. They must be treated nicely
