I certainly think so! I don't know that I'll ever get it to those "crazy" levels that some of the more inventive modders reach. No time, but for now it's exactly what I wanted/needed it to be! Curious to explore more of the "flagship" market. An I think the HD 800 will not only continue to be a real pleasure to listen to, but also serve as an excellent tool to examine gear with. I need an upgrade to my Dac and my Amps and just the resolve and imaging of the HD 800 alone make it a more valuable asset for demoing gear especially with that 6k peak removed! Though all in all I'm happy to say the gear I've amassed continues to serve me well ^^ my little HE 4 did good for the time I had it, though it's nice to finally have a modded HD 800!

very true. my HD is modded too and suits my taste.

I love them, but too be honest I’ve grown bored with them, I’ll probabl be back.

I too may be looking for something to compliment my HDs. So trying to get a pair of LCD2 for change of taste

I have an LCD 2 and it does make a great compliment! But I have a 2012 Pre Fazor 2.2... it's distinctly dark heavy and a touch intimate. When I heard the 2014 Fazor I thought it was terrible... no idea on how the 2017 Fazor sounds or how the LCD 2C sounds but I'd really hear it before you buy. MY experience with them has been 50/50 the first I heard was NOT a good compliment, the second is a phenomenal compliment!

My main hp is the hd800 and i cant see that changing at all in the foreseeable future.

I oicked up the lcd2 early this year that has been enjoyable. Recently though i bought an elear open box from moon audio for about $550 and that has been getting a lot of use

I probably don’t really need both the elear and lcd2 but those two and potentially the lcd2c give some good options re complementing the hd800. All dependant on preferences of mids and bottom end and gear

I can’t help but turn up the volume when using the elears. And the lcd2 have these great mids and overall weight and deep bottom end (not bloaty) depending on gear used

As I wait for my SDR from the man himself I decided to try something to hold me over. It's simple non invasive so thought why not. Placebo perhaps? I cut two circle paper stickers out and put them over the cavity on top of the screen. Ryan Adams is listenable now. Can't wait to get the real deal and knock this peak completely out?: As seen suggested.

Doing a search is not helping me much. What is the break in period for HD800??????

LOL, the time it takes to un-box them plug them in and warm up your amp? at least IME, YMMY...

I think these would be an awesome compliment to the HD800.

I am using a ZMF Ori as a compliment and will be adding a ZMF Atticus also

My Ether open Flows are my king to my HD 800S yang.

 

[DavidA]

I use a few different headphones as a compliment/alternative to my HD800: TH-600, EL-8 open, LCD-2f, RS2e, HD650, HD700, HE400, HE560 and a couple of custom built headphones using Nhoord and Ypsilon drivers.

David and I have some similar overlaps

I don't feel that the nhoord or ylipson drivers have the resolve of the 8800 or LCD 2.2 but they're good for Portable use

at least that's how I use them

But I have a ZMF EIKON N ATH ES10 as closed-back compliments to the rest of it all I got
