Yes, I'm very interested to see how this is answered here. Funny how you can't mention them here, but you can talk of this site there.

Hello all

I need some advice

I'm having some serious fit issues with my 800. I have tried multiple settings and woollen headband covers but I can't stop the hotspot happening at the top of my head.

I've read about this with a handful of users but have never seen a solution.

Any tips? Mods that can be bought etc? I really don't want to give these up but I'm afraid I'm running out of options.

If you can DIY, you could build a padding using soft foam padding wrapped with velour and glue it on.  Did something similar for my HE-400 since they were so heavy, used leather instead of velour for a better matching finish:

I used one of those around my lcd xc headband http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005PK1CYI and it helped a lot.

Would those fit the HD800 headband perfectly or close?

I never felt the need to put it on my hd800 but I can post a picture later

It doesn't happen often, but if I wear it for a long period of time without adjusting it, I start to feel pressure at the tip of my head.
 
A picture would be great, thanks!

OK here a really bad pic of the thing. It is rather flat but on the xc it really helps.

Thanks! It actually looks like it fits pretty decently. How comfortable is it?

Has anyone tried pairing the HD800 with a Magni/Modi stack? Does it make the 800 too bright?

IMO Yes

, but YMMV.  Original M/M stack was bright to me to start.

Holy crap, this is interesting!
I didn't have the nerve to go all the (40?) examples but what a difference in sound just by either choosing a different position for the mic or a different type. There are clear differences and this was just by listening to the mp3 examples streaming. This puts all the data format discussions or DAC chips vs R2R/NOS into a proper perspective. Not that it surprises me but it should cool down some folks who put a little too much importance on things that are pretty insignificant in comparison to how the sound engineer at time of recording is shaping the sound.
Thanks for sharing.
