they indeed sound different from each other. one of them is with bigger bass, the other is more flat mine (the 4th) have bigger and wider sound stage and dynamics ​
 and to me i have more "air" in the songs and​
resolution
is better, the strange thing i notice that my pair is also feel more heavy in few grams than the others.​

This most likely is the easiest to verify:
Take off cable, ear and head pads and out all headphones on a percision balance...

From meomry only, sold it years ago- my old pair( 3,000 or so) had less bass then my new one 30,000+ ,close to 40,000)
So i tend to belive the sound has changed over time(for the better)
Maybe its's just that the workers build them better now because they have years of exprience building them (;

I am looking to purchase a 4 to 5 foot cable for the HD800, I am not looking to spend tons of money on a replacment cable and am not looking for any change in sound. Equal to stock is just fine as this is just for gaming purposes to my X7, I was looking at this cable ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Replacement-cable-with-remote-mic-for-iphone-to-Sennheiser-HD800-headphone-/311343401394?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item487d8349b2 ) as it will do 2 things for me. 1 it will be a short black cable and 2 it will have a built in mic that I could use when I am gaming with my 800's. Has anyone dared tried this cable? If so what were your experiences? If not can anyone recommend a 4-5 foot replacement cable that will not change sound for as cheap as possible?

A $36 cable for the hd800s with a mic?

Wow!! With the soundstage/openess of the hd800 i can't start to imagine how exceptional a conference call would sound.

"Put me on speaker!!!"

It's for gaming not portable use. And second, I am not a huge believer in cables changing sound in a huge way. I'm sure it can slightly alter it but I am a believer that most of the "change" in sound is a placebo.

Not house/techno/dubstep but a hella of a lotta fun on the HD800 despite the cr@ppy recording..
Love the vintage B&O turntable at the beginning :)

No offence was meant if it was taken that way

I was glad to see a modest price on cables for the hd800 and I appreciate the practicality of the shorter cable. I've stepped on mine enough times already when getting up from my desk.

And the idea of using the headphones in making a call was something I ever considered. I reckon it would be a great thing to try - reminds me of when I first heard about diet coke and mentos - intrigued by it and curious.

This cable would also be nice when using the HD800 with the upcoming CEntrance Skyn.

No problem, I might take the chance and order that cheap cable for gaming use. It is exactly what I am looking for.
