Enjoy!

Nice review! Pretty much agree about being picky part, most who says this just dont like Bright headphones and are looking for another smooth headphones... I heard many stories about people's being happy with even O2 and ODAC and others arent happy with high end dacs and amps. Gonna wait for HD700 vs HD800 review.

My HD800 has almost Fidelio X1 levels off bass, well maybe not quite as much, but a lot more than the T1. Certainly more than my K7XX. I was quite surprised as I had heard a set of the HD800 in the past and it did not have this much bass. Not basshead levels, but a lot more than you'd expect.
 
I am waiting on my frequency graph from Sennheiser, anyone know how long it takes to get one from them?

 
I got it within a few days. They just email you back.

  In my opinion the HD 800 (in my case modified – which may be beneficial anyway) is the ideal headphone for electronica when equalized (or even more extremely).

 
I agree. They have plenty of bass that extends very well. Just a matter of how prominent you want it to be. A good EQ can really tailor these things to fit any genre you'd like.

Wow. Maybe send them an email again?

Did that and tried sending my registration through again. Now we'll wait and see.

Good luck! The title of the email should be something along the lines of "HD 800 - Expert Quality Assurance‏". At least that's what mine was, got it in about 3 days after registering.

Or for my wa2 with them a change in tubes, particularly power tubes.

Anyone here with the hd800's and wa2 that also have the hd600?

I like my set up with the hd800's but I've always been a fan of the easy listening style if the hd600. Is it worth considering the hd600s or once you have them both you don't bother going from your hd800 to hd600?

Don't have WA2 but I like the HD-600 and HD-650 for the different sound signatures, as you say the easy listening style.  I actually use my HD-650 and HD-700 more than my HD-800, I like to relax and not think when listening so HD-600/650 lets me do this while the HD-800 gets me to involved with listening to relax.

I only have a Superlux but Thats enough for me, I also tend to use my HD650 more than my HD800.
I just plug direct to my iPhone og Mac Pro, so Hasle free an easy listening, plus i dont feel i have to be as carefull with HD650.
To me HD650 are the Best value in High-end cans.

I agree that to get the most out of the HD800s you kind of need to concentrate so you can hear the details and notice its imaging capabilities. I find that if I just put them on and just let the music play while concentrating on something else they don't seem that amazing.
