Just placed my order on a pair! I am curious how my modi2u vali2 stack will sound with these.


Not to spoil it, but it will sound great. :)

To anyone who dropped their hd800 yolk holder and can't find it- I have SOLUTION FOR YOU!
 

 

Optional:
Add solar panel onto top of that screwdriver holder, wire some tiny LED lightbulb (christmas tree decorator stuff) across HD800, connect them to the solar panel.

I'm more interested in your repainted HD800.
My HD800 has bad paint chips so I'm thinking of sending them for a paintjob, maybe HD700's gray or such but in EU I only know Custom Cans UK for such service.
Anyone else here with custom paintjob for HD800?

to painr mine.It's fairly easy to do it by yourself, just don't spray too much at once otherwise paint will start drip (and take forever to dry).

Can you post a few pics of your painted HD800?
 
Edit: Also, the Silver Metallic spray is the exact same colour as the HD800 has?

Nope. it's more glittery than stock HD800, you'll probably have to ask sennheiser directly and ask someone who knows what color that might be (maybe car repair shop, they might have devices that can computerize color scheme)
pics i posted are the painted hd800 :p

Hello all, how do hd800's do with classic rock? Found a new pair for $875.00 and after listening to them at RMAF I will most likely purchase them. I currently have the 700's with a nice tube amp (Elise) and just want better.

Thanks

I say go for it:wink: Elise should be great match with HD800. I think elise have best results with T1, and H800series judging by peoples reviews of that amp...

Don't forget...if you are coloring your HD800s, that Physics teaches us that

Red Is The Fastest Color.

You can get even faster if you color the amp and cable to match, like I did:
