I maybe wrong, but I think Colorware no longer offers repainting service for HD800.
You will have to buy the headphones from them.

I went on colorware's site today and they had the option to send in your own HD800 and they'll colorware it for $299. Supposedly a 2 week process. Am I missing something here?

 

[jrprana]

I stand corrected.

Can anyone compare to Grado PS1000?
Thanks.

Polar opposite.

 

[pearljam50000]

And what about the LCD3?
 
Nice profile pic btw.

^ still quite different in sound signature.  Comfort is also opposite.

Grado PS1000 has a very intimate soundstage.  But its mids - vocals in particular sound golden and is given better texture and push than the HD800's.  But that's the only thing I found in the PS1000 to be better than the HD800.  The rest - IMHO I hand to HD800 in terms of technical superiority.

wow, i haven't heard the PS1000 yet but there's more textured mid than HD800?  That I got to try.

Could be placebo but the more intimate (small) soundstage made everything a tad more open to aural scrutiny.

Ah, that makes sense though.  Thx bud.  I am just a sucker for textured forward mid.

Oh in that case, give the old PS1000 (non-chrome cups) a listen.  It is definitely way more forward than the HD800.

What about LCD-3's?

Who can chime in?

IMHO, planars shouldn't be compared with dynamics.  They're two different species.  How does one compare a dog to a cat?

If you're a cat person, you get cats.  If you're a dog person, you adopt dogs.

Planar-magnetic cans sound very different from dynamic headphones.

They are indeed, which is why they complement each other so well..
 
I own HD800's too but i was just answering the above about a textured mid range is all
