1000+ Head-Fier
I've heard the proposed mod in person. I'm not easily impressed and I was impressed. It makes the stock sound dirty and unclear by comparison. IMO the HD800 is the best headphone out there with this mod in place.
That is honestly one of the nicest and most tasteful headphone repaints I've ever seen. I just bought another HD800 myself (after missing my old pair) and am thinking of painting it to give it some more sentimental value. Did you just use normal spray paint?good evening ladies and gents.
since a few week i'm a proud owner of a second hand hd800. the price was very good, the condition of the cans in terms of scratches not so much. So i did a paint job by myself and installed the sdr mod. the serial number is 38XXX. It was a bit risky, because i never heard the hd800 by myself. But i love this cans. My imagination of the hd800 was: analytical with a bit lack of bass (nothing you could not control with mods or eq).... when i first listen them with the lyr 2 with LISST tubes my opinion was: analytical:yes . lack of bass: not for me. I like how the hd 800 reproduces the low frequencies! Maybe i will remove the sdrmod. not sure yet.Here a picture:
Congrats kylewit, HD800 are up there with the best. And bang for the buck at the very top. I have gone from HD800 twice, to Abyss/Headtrip, then SR009/Carbon, now on my 3rd HD800.
Lol, I am on my second pair....
Did you just use normal spray paint?
6 times owner, that must be some kind of record! Are you using the phones jack or speakers out on the Sansui?
I updated my post with more evidence of having the cleanest upper spectrum.Can't wait!
Did you just use normal spray paint?
Not sure if the company is better now, but I would make sure it is a good fast drying type.
I ended up instead using some brushed on laquer paint .... with a top spray cleat coat..
It was an Acrylic paint with about 4 layers with at least 24hrs in between.What was the brand name of the brushed on lacquer paint? What brush did you use?
Painting to get a perfect finish is very difficult.
Volume 100 seems a bit high to me. I rarely go past 90 with the HD800SD single ended. Also waiting for my balanced Forza Cable.Noir Hybrid HPC.New HD800S at home. Sounds out of the box - with SE , wait of balanced cable - much clearer with more Details as my Focal Elear. Wondering that Sony 1a can drive the HD800s very good - Volume Level 100! Now waiting for balanced cable and hope that´s a improvement!
90 is a Little bit to quite - but 95 is good!Volume 100 seems a bit high to me. I rarely go past 90 with the HD800SD single ended. Also waiting for my balanced Forza Cable.Noir Hybrid HPC.
Is the WM1A uncapped, do you have high gain? My 90 is on high gain btw. And I prefer 75 to be honest.90 is a Little bit to quite - but 95 is good!
Seller told me that the 1a is uncapped! Just saw that high gain is on balanced mode. If I changed it 75 is okay! ThanksIs the WM1A uncapped, do you have high gain? My 90 is on high gain btw. And I prefer 75 to be honest.
