And digital EQs are basically feedback of some mathemagical sort. Take that for what you will.
Zilch, clearly the only solution is to induce narrow band hearing loss. It'll be cheaper in the long run, and will be applicable to all future purchases!
or seriously, just mod the headphones
LOL Good one!
I tried the Anax 2.0 mod, then kept making changes until it evolved into something like the Mike 13.0 mod, which I thought was great when I first tried that iteration - thinking that I had "arrived."
But over the course of about a week, I began to realize that there was an annoying "cupped-hands" sound in the low mids (depending on the track) and that the sound stage was reduced, although I hadn't detected either problem initially.
I restored the HD800 to its original state and now I'm burned out on the idea of any more experiments in that direction. I had spent the better part of an entire Sunday cutting and fitting mods.
My advice to anyone who tries a mod would be to not jump to any conclusions. Do your thing, then give it a good long listen (a couple of days?) before you conclude all is OK. Then try again...
