I prefer my mod with the dust-covers on.

I personally prefer my heavily modded with dust cover off..
my Pokemonn mod is cover ALL metal ear cups area with clothes. so enough darker sounding. no dust cover needed to tame treble.
dust cover on kills resolution and clarity very much, and dust cover on sounds below Stax 007 level IMO.

The sonic difference is subtle at best. The biggest difference is what others have said in the thread-- if your ears are big and touch the dust covers with the mod, taking them off could alleviate that.

it may depend on how to mod your HD800s.in fact my modification are complitly differnt from original Anax mod.
for my mod, dust cover did change sound significantly.

dust cover on with my mod - very dark, congested, treble roll off, low fi
dust cover off with my mod - sound sharp, crisp, crystal clear, hi fi

Question:

Has anyone have their HD800 produce enough bass level to vibrate their jaw?...

Pretty sure that's unhealthy.
 
However, if a track calls for it, the HD800 can provide sharp, tight, full bass.

I just saw the HD800's in a Cadillac CT6 commercial. Victory for Audiophiles! They only showed the front of the cups though...

Saw that also.  HD800's and a gnarly turntable.

I prefer my mod with the dust-covers on.  

Ditto that here.
