For anyone who interested in Custom Painted HD800, I'm selling my brand new HD800 from Colorware, also the Cardas Clear cable, welcome to have a look.
Aside from hardwire endorphins, where does cardas fall among all the other Moon Audio, Headphone Lounge, Norse Audio and such.
I think Cardas are litz copper if that is information of any use.

Just wondering does the new paint job change the sounds at all?
I would imagine the headphone was design with specific housing type/material. Would the new paint job affect it?
omg, just got a pair for myself. 31xxx.
i don't feel the amazingness at first, but it's when I go BACK to the HD-650 that makes me feel like everything is much smaller..

I now have three pairs of HD800, one stock. one cranberry-gold and one limited-edition glossy gold and black.
They all sound very slightly different because...all stock units are never perfectly identical--though they are extremely close--and all three painted units have different level of break-in, the last one being brand new.
Of course the paint job has no effect whatsoever on the sound. After all these are just headphones made of metal and plastic. They are not Stradivarius...
So stop worrying at get yours painted exactly the way you like it--just stay away from lime-green and fuchsia; you may never be able to re-sell them.
BTW, it you buy directly from Colorware, the cost is the same as the stock unit new. If you send in your old pair (in pristine condition only), it will cost you $300.

So you're saying headphone the housing material / design has no affect on sound quality?

No, I am saying that the frames are made of metal and plastic which is not the same as a resonance box of a violin made of delicate wood where any tiny change even on the surface can alter the sound.
I am also saying that the variation of the sound from one unit to another, as small as they are, are much larger than any change--and I pretty sure there is none--caused by a layer of paint on metal and plastic.
I am also saying that I have three pairs, two of which are painted, and I know that there is no difference among them except for the very small, slow and progressive sonic evolution during break-in.
No speculations necessary. The paint does not change the sound.
The color doesn't make a difference if the underlying material is exactly the same.
Housing material and shape obviously make all the difference - next to the drivers.

Exactly!
Absolutely nothing is changed underneath the layer of paint.
I do not know why people are concerned about this. I guaranty you, in the dark, they all sound the same
